    Phobotic Centerpiece finally released

    I found that running cli and running gimbal, then motor_calib takes care of my pitch vibration issue. I have a gimbal for 5d but using a gh3 right now.

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    I posted this on the other place for a fellow that was saying he was waiting to see some Centerpiece footage from a heavier setup. Mine is mid heavy 19-20lbs, so I answered him. I'm flying all day tomorrow with my 3 MR's. A lot will be on my X8 w/ Centerpiece. GH3, GH4, and maybe BMPC...

    Pixhawk Feedback?

    Everytime I think about putting my Pixhawk on my larger quad, I forget about it because of the extra work needed for 6s batteries. Other than using 5v to the Pixhawk on the RC port, is their a simple plug and play solution? I read this http://pixhawk.org/users/tutorials/pixhawk_6s_mod and...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Yes, there is some horizon shifting. However, I'm happy with it so far as it's solid IMO. Yesterday, I spent 40 minutes on Vimeo checking out Movi m5 and m10 horizons. Just looked at footage with a full horizon at waters edge. Lots of handheld and some aerial. Guess what, they are not...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Look forward to firmware updates. Yesterday, I did the motor_calib and threw my settings off as I'd spent alot of time in follow mode tweaking. You suggested I do motor calib but I didn't know how to do it till yesterday. Anyway, it messed up my settings, so today, I redid the auto tune and...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    I hesitate to post this, but it's only 60 seconds. Pretty boring. I was going to fly my GH3 at my sisters lake cottage. Not much land and a large bluff behind her. Pretty windy, but I thought I'd give it a try on the little yard she has, but more hesitant over water. Took MR up and let it...

    Loose Motors Avroto 3515 bearing size?

    I have 8 Avroto 3515's that have limited & light flying time on an x8. No crashes or tip overs. 1 motor has a slight amount of play and 3 have a bit more. Kind of disappointed in they have not been flown hard, overheated, nor do they have a lot of flight time... Anyway, I've been watching...

    Pixhawk Feedback?

    That's the only way I know what some of the internet abbreviations and terminology means. Use it more than I'd like to admit.....

    Naza2 Cinestar8 backflip on takeoff

    I have a Naza V2 w/ gps that started a year ago on a small quad, graduated to a big quad, and then a few months ago went to a big x8. Bout 19-20lbs. Flew and flies very nicely on all 3. Talked to a dealer who is in Hollywood area, and he says he has plenty of clients flying bigger birds on...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    That's my next project, getting my pitch smoothed out... Think Ill try your the 25% or so dampening reduction. Nice first flight.

    How do you transport your multi rotor?

    I like it. I've been thinking about something like that or maybe taking a dirtbike and making something like you have on the back..... Your bike would be more people friendly. Did you buy it like that or do the mods yourself?

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    When I first looked at the footage, I was pretty happy with the horizon. After horizontal peeping with lines drawn, I was a little less happy. Then I though about "horizontal peeping", how picky should we be? What does the Movi do? So spent 30 minutes this morning going through vimeo Movi...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Went to a barbecue tonight and went a little early to test horizon. Did a auto tune on Wed. Worked on yaw settings. This is nothing but horizon test. Forward, backwards with a little yaw here and there and the same with left and right. 2 - 3 min + flights about 20 minutes apart. Plug in...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Spent a little time at the other forum on the Centerpiece. What a drama mess. Hopefully we can get enough peeps on this forum to discuss and help out on this controller. I'm cautiously optimistic and excited about the possibilities. Hopefully they will be able to move fast on improving the...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    I am looking for a yaw setup for my DIY gimbal. Going to waite awhile and see if what I have is strong enough for my gh4 and 5d. If so, I'll probably buy the 3rd axis from Quad frame. That looks like one of the most robust setups I've seen. I'm really freaking hung up about hanging...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Brand spanking new DYS BLG5D. It's modified with 60mm motors on roll and yaw. It appears to be pretty solid, although I think my roll setup on my DIY gimbal using 21mm carbon fiber is more solid on the roll as I have better bearing support on the roll bar. I was also just a few ozs lighter...
