    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Samur. Good Job on the controller. Going to be a learning curve, but liking what I'm getting so far. Hope your coder stays healthy, can't wait for more updates. Sorry, but I'm still not sure what to do on my yaw settings. With high rigidity, to speed up the yaw catching up to the frame...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    One thing I'm learning so far (and this is by trial and error of which I could be making mistakes), is that there is a period of time when the controller warms up, initiates, etc and does it's thing and that takes a while. If you disturb it bad things happen. I had a couple flights today when...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Right now I'm flying a gh3. I use it instead of the gh4 for testing. Also plan on trying it with a BMPC, but contemplating trying to test with a smaller gimbal. Took a pretty good hit on flight time with the 3rd axis's added weight and a 2nd battery for the gimbal. Might have to go up to 16"...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    They suggested to bring the rigidity down to 80 and max speed on limiter. Rain is done, so going to give it a try after going out and finding another 3s lip.

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    It's empty now. Like the empty folder button. Said you can have 100 messages, but I had 72. Raining here so I'm on hold with testing. Got a 2 quickie tests in before rain. 1st I was no good. 2nd was better, but pretty similar to my last settings from yesterday. I'm working on keeping...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Fun day. Wish there was more documentation, but hopefully that will come. Did a fair amount of trial and error and could see the results. Would have been faster if I'd taken it off the MR and ran it as hand held. But, I wanted some air time. Got my yaw where I'm happy with and part way...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    The pitch is causing the vibration when I get around 35-35 degrees pointed down. Hooked it back up and will play with that. Just did a 2nd flight of which I read instructions backwards so will try to fix my follow mode a little better. I went the other way. Flight does seem to be stable...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    I'm flying with no protection on IMU and Centerpeice Hope I don't crash before I get them protected. Have IMU on top of camera cage bar, so it will take a nasty crash for that to get banged up. Centerpiece is a little more exposed and it doesn't look like it will take much of a hit with all...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Jakub's 3rd axis looks great. On paper, it looks to be maybe the most solid that I've seen. I think he uses the RCTimer motors, so I'm not sure it would take the iPower motors of which I have lots of, for experimenting and building. Going to be around 10mph wind today which is a good test...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    I'd do a little more reading and maybe hold off if you have a gimbal you can test this out on. I see you are in the North country too. My feeling is, get this going ASAP as it will be snowing soon and the fall colors will be here in weeks. Time to fly, build and test when the cold weather...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Just reading the threads on their forum gives me the feeling they haven't tested on anything (or at least very little) above 50mm or maybe 60mm motors. It's more a gut 'oh no" feeling than anything else. I think they are working hard and maybe a bit overwhelmed with launch Stuff is all over...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    I got one yesterday. Started working on it today. Little slow going, but finally got it up and running. I'm breaking it in on a new gimbal and having to reconfigure a few things as I'm going from 2 axis to 3. Hoping to get it in the air tomorrow, but wondering if I might be disappointed for...

    Pixhawk Feedback?

    Oldman, I could write an opinionated book on just your 2 paragraphs. It's sad the amount of money the government & defense people have pissed away. As to the government shutting 3DR down, let's hope not although they may attempt it. However, sometimes common sense can rule out. Recently, a...

    Is anyone selling Tattu packs in the US yet?

    They do come back up. Many times, they are high enough, I don't charge them back up for storage if they are around 3.78 or above which happens when I land early. What's the max I should be putting back in mah wise on a 8000 6s battery? I drove my 4s 5000 25c and 35c batteries much harder...

    Pixhawk Feedback?

    Nice. Half way through the video, you say your reloading the flight plan and then you do another autonomous flight. I have only tried 1 autonomous flight so consider me to know very little on waypoint flying. Still trying to understand it better. I thought that if a flight was finished or...

    Is anyone selling Tattu packs in the US yet?

    My mileage hasn't varied much either. But.... I don't have enough experience with different brands of batteries. However, I bought 6 Gens Ace Hardcovers's 48 / 5000 mah (2 at a time 3 months last year). I flew the first 4 pretty hard last year and 1 battery (#4 which means the 2nd...

    Is anyone selling Tattu packs in the US yet?

    Recently we have seen some pretty sizable price decreasing coming out of DJI (S900 and Ronon). I believe some Chinese manufacturers have been overcharging (relative to their costs) and have plenty of room to lower prices... I think it's probable that they are just getting as much as they...

    Is anyone selling Tattu packs in the US yet?

    Prices are too high for me. I'd like to know what their real costs are . DJI has been lowering prices lately because the market is growing. Guess the battery peeps aren't on the same page.

    That's a pretty nice upgrade for the 3+. I have a 3 and no plans to get the 3+. The internal part is $60 plus the lens, isn't worth it. Will wait for the GoPro 4. On your footage, the internet footage occasionally shows some lateral stutter. I'm assuming that's not in your original footage...

    That's the lens, thought it needed a camera mod.... I'm with you on waiting out the GP4. I sure hope they give us manual exposure...... I get much better aerials when I manually expose and shoot. I hate blown out clouds. Can bring up underexposed a bit and clean noise, but you can't...
