    New Contest, Why?

    The thought has occurred to me that we should know at this stage who is actually going to use this commercial production and what copyright restrictions can be applied.

    5-axis stabilisation

    Roll is actually a belt drive system within the inner case and not like the Shotover. If the roll sensors move with the tilt axis then the movements will be the same as seen through the viewfinder.i.e. roll will still look like roll on the stick but it could actually be pan looking straight...

    No I don't have those details, I had access to a white paper from about four years ago which I was told to never publish OR ELSE.... The extra ordinary performance of the Cineflex is well known about, but the mil spec stuff is a bit more advanced. I was once in a press de-briefing room when a...

    Photohigher RSGS Skyline Owners thread

    You have my sympathy DJI Flyer I also thought that I would try a PH gimbal with a RSGS stabiliser. Someone with my experience should have known better but I was caught out by the strong advertising claims. Everything about it's design is wrong but I was curious. Everything that you say about...

    5-axis stabilisation

    It is certainly very heavy, a Cineflex is 67 lbs. The camera and lens is a very small part of that mass. it utilizes a dockable camera body which resides inside the helicopter not the Gimbal. The Zen is essentially the inner part of a six axis system where the model provides the outer P R and Y...

    Gopro and Jello

    I think you can also improve it by using a 4X neutral density filter as the GoPro uses an electronic shutter to adjust exposure.

    When facts are few bull**** abounds. As you no doubt saw, I recently used a DJI Zen to complete a UN shoot from a Hughes 500. plenty of people will try to cash in on a cheap system if it works. Plenty of Cineflex and other stuff around that DJI could have copied. Plenty of Mil.spec. stuff...

    I am not aware that they have anything yet, but all it would require is larger motors and more volts. As torque motors get more powerful they get very expensive and have a hollow shaft. The good news is that they are quite closely aligned in production techniques with pancake brushless motors...

    They are direct drive torque motors that actually attenuate the sampled vibration as well as holding the desired angle within a magnetic field. Also it has a clutch drive. They do not step from one position to another but use a rotary encoder. Hence the low torque and the need for perfect...

    Who told you that the Zen was using stepper motors?

    Certainly the GoPro is making it look better than it is. the test would be to see what it does with a 550D and a 35 or 50 mm lens. I'll do that over the weekend. After watching the GP....

    Mikrokopter Gutted… wkm low voltage crash

    Did you check the battery level after the crash. When I had a problem recently it was just after climbing to about 120 feet and then starting a slow descent two shut downs from almost the same place, but the props were still turning. I am convinced that it was firmware related. If the assistant...

    Mikrokopter Gutted… wkm low voltage crash

    The alternative is to get one of these or disable the low battery cut-off on the ESC .You can then disable the battery monitor in the DJI and work with a telemetry signal to your Tx. If you loose the odd battery it is still a cheaper and safer...

    DJI S800 Product Bulletin - ESC too high temperature

    The WKM must have power to upgrade the firmware and you must not disconnect during that process. After the firmware has been flashed you MUST then turn the power OFF and then Back ON again (recycle). before you try to use it. Then you must reconfiger all of the settings after setting back to...

    Oti Well you did ask so here is what I think, but this is only my opinion which may be a lot different to some others. The demo video could have been shot a lot better because you have far too many movements outside of the cameras refresh rate. If you slow down a bit we might be able to see...

    Show us what you shot.

    Gunter That is a distinct possibility. But more likely a PPL with a R 22 Robo. and some ropes etc.

    So here we are and it's now Wed. and no sign of the illusive firmware from PH so do we send em back and ask for our money back? This product is not fit for purpose. Is there another solution, well actually yes there is. It costs a lot less but it needs some expertise before you can use it. It...

    It is probably the same guy who makes them...... Funny how he is always the first guy to find one.

    weird thing when yawing

    It is probably a weight offset. Try moving the battery .

    Kilby's F650

    Looks like you did a great job Terry. Just as an idea you could try adding a little dihedral and motor offsets (Yaw) to see if it improves stability. Like the S800. I am thinking about making some plates from alum. so I can bend um.:tennis:
