Yeah - kinda ;) Just remember that a mistake is irreversible - a scratch on the glass or even cracking the glass will definitely spoil your day. It's essential to have a good illuminated magnifier.

Analog servos are usually limited to 50Hz - some will take around 70Hz but more than that can actually fry some analog servos. Most digital servos will operate at 333Hz. You can drive them at 400Hz but there would likely be no difference over 333Hz. Specialised tail gyro servos use a different...

Just a quick addendum on doing it yourself: I bought a second-hand EOS1 body and found that the previous owner had been eating his lunch off the sensor - it was covered in a "sticky" layer of something that was actually holding on to the dust. Even the VisibleDust liquid wouldn't take it off. I...

If it's a regular digital servo - should be 333Hz maximum.

Looks good - any results videos available?

Remember that you're not actually cleaning the sensor itself but a thin piece of glass in front of it. I would strongly recommend using one of the commercially-available systems for sensor cleaning - at this level, dust that shows up on an image can be invisible to the naked eye. Most efforts to...

I don't see them dropping the price while there is nothing else out there to rival it.

+1 :)

An OpenPilot CC3D?

Cards on the table - good move :) One things that passed by way, way up this thread was the potentiometer voltage range. I appreciate that you've clearly stated the device was designed around Savox servos, but I think it would help if you laid out the necessary numbers. Plenty of users would...

Can't find any mention in the Hoverfly Gimbal manual :(

You, good sir, are more than welcome :) - looking forward to my next video lesson ;)

I missed that little detail - right there in the headline but I didn't see it! :) If, as Cedric suggests, the price is "important" (I like that - not a "high" price, an "important" price :)) it would seem (to me) to be a doubtful investment. Retrofitting a direct drive motor to the pitch axis...

As to what you should be doing - I completely agree with ChrisViperM and tstrike: fit quality bearings, replace them immediately after any prop strike, replace them if they change in feel or sound, replace them even if they just look at you funny. You should have a big box of new ones in your...

LOL - I'm astonished (and dismayed)! Lucien (Innov8tive) is an electrical engineer, definitely not a mechanical engineer :) I've preached about this elsewhere but in the hope that the message spreads far and wide, if you guys don't mind, I'll do some cut & paste here: The "maintenance...

LOL - and I thought 5-year-olds could only embarrass us oldies with their computer skills ;) I think that your damper solution is absolutely valid - to fix the gimbal, not the gimbal controller. As Denny says - if hard-mounting the RSGS is passing vibration into the sensors then it makes sense...

Logically, it is indicating that they are doing more work. If it's all the CCW motors, then maybe they are working hard to resist a constant CW yaw produced by...?... misaligned CW motor(s), misaligned arms, off-centre CoG?

This was posted in another thread (about the Hoverfly Gimbal controller) - but, interestingly, it's shot with RX100:

ChrisViperM: I totally agree with you - a frustrating and dangerous marketplace at the moment, especially for those who "just want it to work" for their work. You missed out at least one in your list - OpenPilot CC3D: which (in testing) is shaping up to be a very capable gimbal controller...

Sony RX100 with Steadishot switched ON - so hard to tell how well the Hoverfly Gimbal is working. :( (not doubting, though, that it is working very well :)) Does anyone know the PWM update rate from the Hoverfly Gimbal to the servos?
