    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    In most cases the solution is to reduce "Damping P" on the roll axis until the buzzing goes away. Some gimbals might need adjustment on the yaw too, but for most, a reduction on the roll is enough.

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    We have seen systems working with soft dampers, it might work in some cases. We don't enough data to pinpoint the cause (motors/mechanical construction/damping plate design/whatever else).

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Just a result of very aggressive autotuning. Without a sufficiently stable base to work against, yaw performance won't be as good as we want. It's a simple physics thing - for every force the motor uses to rotate the gimbal, an equal opposite force operates on the damping plate.

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Actually the TP1000 always worked very well with the CP. Matt, who took this video, has two of them and they're both great without any modifications upgrading from Alexmos to the CP (other than removing some damping layers). Something about its structure and materials is quite right, it appears...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    We're working with Andrew, which is why I said it's a matter we're looking into. I'm suspecting some motor geometry issue with that motor there that's unrelated to Andrew's design. We're not working with Motopreserve's gimbal manufacturer directly - although in his case, the problem seems to be...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    This is a great example on how misinformation usually spreads. Bear with me here, and I'll give you an insight into the dynamics of user support, forum boards and what's it like dealing with components outside of your control. In the case of SleepyC, as far as I know from talking with Andrew...

    The new F1 Gimbal (Air Studio/Phobotic) for GH4 sized cameras

    Yes, there are plans to do so, although not at the exact time of release. It'll be aerial first.

    The new F1 Gimbal (Air Studio/Phobotic) for GH4 sized cameras

    We've had lots of other matters to deal with lately so the F1 had to be on hold (as part of those matters are electronic modules used in the F1 that we are developing). It's of course still on track for production. We used this time to make a significant design improvement based on our testing...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Yes, as there will be for the foreseeable future. There's always something to improve and stuff planned. We're basing our product roadmap (F1 gimbal and lots of other stuff) on the same codebase as the CP so there'll be lots of updates. We went bigger with the upcoming update as we're feeling...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    We had many delays in this batch of CPs (not HVs though, we have some of those in stock now). Worked very hard to solve it all through the holidays and now boards should start arriving. Anyway, just mailed you about it and I'll make sure you're happy and get your board ASAP.

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Sorry jwolke, everyone should have received updates about 10 days ago. I'm going to check what happened.

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    They're getting manufactured. Some arrive early next week but they are all spoken for. If you place an order now, it should be fulfilled by the 18th.

    The new F1 Gimbal (Air Studio/Phobotic) for GH4 sized cameras

    End of the year, priced between Align G3 ($1100) and Z15 ($2500) - sub $2k.

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    We discussed it but didn't progress from there. We're mainly working with Hexacrafter's equipment to improve RLG support.

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    This should change in the future. The limitation comes from the structure compromise of gimbals of this type; the CP tries to tune them to a minimal performance level they can not attain and fails as a result. I hope that through refined tuning and other system improvements we can significantly...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Thanks! CPHVs ordered now will be shipped end of next week. There are also many firmware improvements implemented now which should together substantially enhance the performance you've seen so far.

    The new F1 Gimbal (Air Studio/Phobotic) for GH4 sized cameras

    Haha, that's not an official video, it's testing footage from the development of the CP long before it came to the market. This video is intentionally mislabeled. If you want to see official videos, then go to video.phobotic.com :)
