    Picloc 3x setting experience etc.

    Looking really good. Was OIS used at all? My brief comparison between the GH2 and the NEX-5n showed the GH2 OIS handles pans very much better with barely any judder. What camera mount are you using there with your 3X?

    I am glad you posted those videos. Thank you. They answer a nagging question. The NEX-7 image is no sharper than the NEX-5n. I guess you must have been shooting at 50fps - unless your buddy is a real slow mover.

    This is mainly for George's benefit as emails with URL links to private, explanatory videos have presumably been lost within his email mountain. The video below is NOT supposed to be a public denunciation of Picloc. It is here so that George can hopefully get to see it, hopefully be able to...

    Picloc 3x setting experience etc.

    Hi Graham, Thanks for that input. I have to stick with sorting out the CW mount because that is actually the more important of the two. To be frank, for the AV200 the standard camera control built into the MK FC is perfectly adequate for most 'soft' video applications, is perfectly...

    Hi Eric, glad you have joined us. Do your 1-turn pots give you sufficient travel? I have not been back to try v56 on the AV200 (which has 3 turn pots). All my posts are currently relating to a Pan> Tilt> Roll Copterworks heli gimbal. Different to the AV200 hierarchy and all 360 servos with PL...

    There is, theoretically at least, an optimum balance between the gyro and accelerometer sensor input. A gyro on its own will compensate for axis movement but forgets where it came from and centers in a new place. This is why tail gyros are not enough. The accelerometers are there to keep tabs on...

    Please fix the basics first.

    Picloc 3x setting experience etc.

    George must have misunderstood your question. The correct answer is that there is no hex file attached to that particular link. It is just information that the RC5 inputs 3+4 and Spektrum DSM have been fixed in v56.70. Wrong. We are nowhere near yet. But you seem to have fared better than me...

    CALLING GEORGE, CALLING GEORGE .... When you come up for air (which of course you are not actually permitted to do under the terms of your isolation sentence :)) please note the following and ... er ... fix it! Today :livid:! I loaded v56.69 in place of .67 but the same issues persist with Pan...

    For some reason I cannot get the video to play smoothly. Anyway, I am going to hazard a guess. You have bought the whole caboodle from Kopterworx and Krleas (in disguise wearing 'normal' coloured specs) has come over to give you a hand. I can even see the ginormous 25kg SJ-8 flightcase in the...

    Cinestar gimbal keeps panning while connect servo to receiver

    Personally, I am a little confused by all this speculation about a missing feedback potentiometer for the Pan axis servo. Pan is the only axis that can take full advantage of a 360° capability without having bits of airframe come into view and so, unless the object is to limit the Pan axis...

    Mikrokopter MK Firmware 0.88 online now

    Compass does not need recalibrating with the v88 update, just the IMU calibrate.

    Picloc 3x setting experience etc.

    On the AV200, with its standard servos & ext. pots on Tilt and Roll, the Acceleration slider DOES change reaction time and allows the camera plate to achieve its compensated position quicker. Tuning it is a matter of getting the last bit of delay lag down to nearly nothing. Much more...

    Picloc 3x setting experience etc.

    Three minutes was sufficient to demonstrate that whatever might have been fixed, previously working functions have been corrupted. This has been my experience so far generally of v.56 over HD55. Additions and improvements at the expense of the basics. I will add that I am currently only...

    Picloc 3x setting experience etc.

    Three minutes with v56.67 was enough. On the good side, having done initial calibrations on a flat, level desk, it fired up with everything more or less central and level, whereas v56.43 required huge amounts servo trim to bring the camera plate level. I still get little jerks but not nearly as...

    Very nice. Did you do that one-man or two-man with a 360 gimbal?

    Looks like it is high time to dip a toe in the FPV waters. What are the recommendations for FPV-ready goggles with a decent quality image. One still has to enjoy it after all. Do they incorporate a receiver or do we hang the Yellow Jacket around our neck?

    Well you see, the thing is, never mind if you can fly with the goggles ... do you look cool in goggles? Good flight!
