    Came 7000 3 axis gimbal?

    I have had some good results with the autotune on the 32bit alexmos and then dialing down the PID's just a touch on my DIY 2axis gh3/gh4 combo. Haven't flown in any real heavy wind yet, so jury is still out. That said, I just ordered a new gimbal that is the same as the rctimer and came-7000...

    Are you building a brushless gimbal for large cameras? (diy motor cages for sale)

    Neil, I'm still contemplating one of your cages for my yaw axis. I received my 8017 motor and after looking at it, I'm curious as to (I am ignorant on this) as to the pro's and cons of using something like your cage vs just making a top mount to my vibration plate to the bottom of MR and making...

    Need replacement Antenna HELP

    Yes, that would work and since it's on my radio on the ground, the extra weight wouldn't matter. Since I posted, I found out the antenna's for the 3dRadio is also the same connection. Will look around a bit and if don't find anything reasonably priced, I'll go with the female to female...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    No sweat. I took no offense to your statement. I was just pointing out it's a big market out there for all sorts of price points and quality. I am with you in that I'm ready to move on and up. However, at the price point, it may be difficult to use on all my gimbals. Maybe it's time to...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    "HexCrafter Now.... let's talk AlexMOS trade in program... Ha Ha! Andrew" I doubt if Alexmos will be going away. I think many have Alexmos that they are somewhat happy with, esp at the price point. I will grab the new board and hopefully it's a large step up in quality over my Alexmos...

    Difference between APM and NAZA???

    quinton... I have a Naza v2, Xaircraft, hoverfly, and Pixhawk. This is my 2nd year flying and I've spent a lot of time buidling and learning to fly. (to much time on gimbals). Anyway, I've put my Pixhawk on a 450 then 550 quad. I'd would learn it on something you have laying around you don't...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Your welcome. I'm on your list and if the dang thing works, it's going to cost me as I've 4 gimbals....... Go pro, gh2's, gh3, gh4, 5d mark ii & Black Magic. Use them all at one time or another.... I texted you a few months ago about testing as I've been watching and waiting patiently...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    I have to agree, there is no drift there at 1:16. I grabbed it, put it into photoshop, and put a guide line which is complete level. Looks good to me....

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    I think to see any roll drift, I'd need to see it over water with a straight water horizon line......

    Came 7000 3 axis gimbal?

    dazzab Curious as to how your gimbal tests are going. Also, if you think the build quality, esp on the 3rd axis is of sufficient strength for the g4 and mayb 5d mark ii or iii.

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    I have been following your development at that other place. It seems that it's about a 5 minute calibration from start to finish. Couple questions. 1. Can you save settings in the event that you have 2 or 3 cameras or different lens that will need a recalibration? 2. Will there be a quick...

    Could the good times for DJI be numbered (New Align video)

    Can't wait to see just the camera video as full screen and then maybe some slower flying more like one would do filming. Good first flights. Didn't pay attention to where the battery was, but it was listed something like a 9 minute flight with a pretty small battery. Wonder if it will...

    32bit AlexMos Gen Discussion & Autotune

    I have a mid size gimbal that I'm having problems with in the wind and it's either the 8 bit board or maybe the motors need to be a little larger. Maybe I'll get energized some time and put my 32ibt board on it and test it.

    Plea for gimbal tuning wisdom....

    Kloner has a pretty good tutorial on the threads some where and his footage is way better than mine. I start with low numbers on the PID's and work up. I am able to get decent footage in calm conditions, but in the wind, I struggled with my light settings. I'm hoping for a little wind to try...

    Plea for gimbal tuning wisdom....

    The 8 bit boards do work. I think I'm just pretty pumped about auto tune. Spent too much time tuning on my 8 bit boards.

    Plea for gimbal tuning wisdom....

    32 bit board with autotune. Just tried it and started a new thread. In a nutshell, I have a couple 8 bit boards and my 32 bit is better than my 8bit Alexmos boards IMO. Will be switching them all to 32 bit or maybe the new board Kloner spoke of. The smallest is $400 so since I had a good...

    32bit AlexMos Gen Discussion & Autotune

    Thought I'd get a general discussion going on the AlexMos 32bit board with AutoTune. I downloaded the new firmware tonight and ran autotune. I ran it 3 times trying different ways. Did a back yard test flight. Not bad. Did another autotune based on those settings and then went and tweaked a...

    Hexacrafter.com HC1100 in San Diego Wind Tunnel

    Nice to see the face and hear the voice who has helped me numerous times as I got started in this hobby last year. From the news footage, I'm guessing by how steady you kept your hex that the wind was kept at a constant velocity? Nice job and thanks again for all your advice during year and a...
