Will have it on Monday when the units ship out. We are preparing the docs.

Funny, the Legacy happens to be our "go-to" airborne gimbal. We run it all the time. It works great: https://vimeo.com/99953282 This is a video out of testing (bad firmware and all, especially the horizon which has nothing to do with the performance on the release versions). It should perform...

That's when I ship them to TPPacks, it'll be there in 2-3 days.

You can do 3S, you can do 4S. I actually prefer 4S for larger stuff (like GH4), but if it's GoPro or RX100 sized then 3S is fine. In any case you're not going to see any difference.

Forget about the BEC. Run it direct from the flight pack as long as you have 5S or less. The BEC in this case can do more bad than good.

You understand it exactly. You can't count on a user to fit an encoder; heck, even DJI has had problems fitting theirs ever since they stopped using Maxon motors and opted for their own versions instead. Our goal is precisely 100mm+ usable footage in air, without a need for post stabilization...

We didn't implement it because there are simply no gimbal mechanics today that can support it, apart from DJI and Freefly (who have their own controllers, of course). You'd be surprised at how much torque the driving algorithms of the CP generate. I don't know about Freefly, but I doubt DJI...

Wayne, I hear you. We have invested a lot of effort on the IMU side to prevent drift. It is not perfect (no system in this market is, including DJI and Freefly) but it is excellent and heaps above what you're used to. The IMU is actually temperature controlled to avoid this drift you're talking...

BT can't be added to the CP. We haven't decided the direction of the Bluetooth in this system yet. BT is present on the HV but currently it's not activated. We have some plans for the future though, good plans involving wireless connectivity.

Light cameras are fine, such as this RX100 (240g): We're not testing with a GoPro because at the level we're at, right now, all GoPro footage would look flawless (or very close to). It's a combination of a very short focal length with the lens curvature, that masks horizon and stabilization...

Which one, for example?

They all ship on the 8th :)

Take a look here: The controller is available at https://phobotic.com

http://phobotic.com is up, and the controllers are being sold :) Also, there's this incredible video courtesy of the awesome SkyHi Aerial:

Ronan, you're on the list, the reason you haven't heard back is because we don't spam our users, we just reserved the mail to let everyone know when it goes on sale :)

Given the huge amount of multirotors and handheld gimbals, there is enough room for everybody. We are not competing at the $150 AM price level nor do we plan to do that - the Centerpiece will be our lowest price offering for some time to come (we do have plans for much more expensive systems...

1:47 shows momentary horizon drift due to accelerative forces, but there's a pretty big distinction between such momentary, self correcting sway and real accumulating drift (which isn't presented here), like on other controllers. 1:47 was a tight right turn, the horizon would correct itself...

One, although our system is natively designed to run both one and two IMU configurations (the IMU is a standalone unit with its own processor).

Thanks for taking the time to do that :D

1:17 is completely straight, look at the house directly at eye level at the left of the frame. There's a hill obstructing the bay on the back so it seems like drift, but its fine. At 1:33 you can see the bay on the right and its level as it can be. 1:47, again, you see water right in the horizon...
