+1 on this subject. I do not have anything like the right experience yet to inform a discussion on landing techniques with or witout cameras. I guess a heavy landing (I'm quite good at this though) doesn't care too much about the cost and quality of the camera(s) slung underneath. It would be...

My order turned up a week or so before Xmas so it was a long time coming. Unfortunately the roll axis servo had siezed solid and had to be replaced... the roll axis itself is not that brilliant in as much that it has considerable play. It that will have to 'looked at' to enable it to be useful...

Gunter, It works...well the pitch servo does anyway. The roll servo is seized solid and I have ordered a replacement. As I manually tilt and roll the aircraft the gimbal servos react appropriately and as I would expect. To take this further do you know how I can now set things up so that I can...

Gunter, many thanks for that...I believe you have just provided me with the answer I have been looking for...I'll have a crack at that tomorrow evening.

Yes, I understand what you are saying but any servo that I have 'seen' to date it has been hard on the fingers but possible to turn...this one just will not turn at all even with it removed completely from the mount. I am not 100 % sure that I am plugging the wires into the correct place... as I...

Well, the gimbal/mount turned up yesterday and I spent a good part of this morning attempting to understand how it interacts and works with Wookong M. I have to say that I am guessing and doing quite a bit of reading between the lines to understand the set-up procedure on Assistant....and that...

My apols....I missed your point....but we don't live in an ideal world especially it seems when it comes to buying 'stuff'.

Redridinghood...Call me 'old fashioned' but up to now I have always gone through business in the way that you are suggesting it should be carried out...I would not want to attempt at straying away from this thread but my most recent experiences of where I currently have over £1000 worth of...

I Have since sent him an email requesting an 'invoice' that will presumably have some info on to indicate where I am actually sending my money to...got to wait for replies and see wh he informs me of at the moment.

I got a very similar response and also saying that it will cost me 15 Euros for P&P.

OK...I see. I'll do the same then and await his/her reply.

It seems thast the seller has made it very clear on his/her ebay screen that this item is not available to ship to the UK but does not appear to explain why. Unless I am being really stupid and am unable to see the reason why I guess he/she has now just lost a customer.

Andy, brill...many thanks.

Gunter, German is one of your languages isn't it ? think that this gimbal fits my need exactly...I went on to the web site but unfortunately for me it is all in German and as I am a typical brit who just about speaks the English language I am not 100% sure what I am looking at...can you help me...

I have been aprenticed, worked for myself, worked as installation engineer with a very large computing organisation both H/W and S/W for almost 40 years and have spent the past 7 years teaching/lecturing but all of this in electrical engineering. I'm now coming up to chosen retirement and...

Craig, I know what you mean by scary when this 'thing' that you have built is perhaps somewhere up in the sky and mixing it with tree branches, etc.. As you say scarySh#t. I have to agree with Ross though and what he is suggesting sounds reasonably easy and if successful will eliminate a lot of...

Craig, I guess what I'm suggesting is that the 'fault' may change in characteristics or dissapear completely. You seem to indicate that you can manifest the fault at will as it stands...see what happens if you make some dramatic changes...as long as it is safe to do so and there is no danger to...

Craig, it seems to me that you are carrying out all the right things. I don't think that installing a larger ali plate is the right thing to do at this time...it must be a time consuming job anyway. Coils of conductor carrying a current can always be a problem as the normal mag field that...

Jake Bullit, i've mentioned in other threads that 'stray' magnetics can cause all sorts of unforseen and unwanted problems. (this is supposed to be my attempt at humour by the way, just in case people think I may have lost it).

Craig, this is not a proposed answer to your problem(s) but is merely food for thought. This may all look and sound like very negative 'stuff' but in fact it is all very positive...you now know what is not causing it, so those items that you have covered so far can be eliminated from the...
