Mat Sounds promising. What machine did you test it on? D.

Ah. far too many following in the wrong foot steps I feel. Too many reasons to put into a short post but nothing is done here without a good reason and nothing is too difficult to take a little inspiration from. In a way we are all still pioneers. In the bad old days of my motor racing career...

Here is the latest Flight Motion Camera FMC-5 It is using the CC board for camera IMU. It uses the rigid balanced beam system with a 3 axis camera mount. CC board is currently fixed to the beam which floats on 2 " of soft foam. The shrouds have a vane that creates a side force as power is...

This sounds like an accel. problem Have you tried moving the axis around i.e. switch pitch for roll or even turn the board sideways and try the yaw as pitch. How are your servos configured. Direct drive or geared. What type of model did you set - plane, heli, ?

Pano Do you have IMU on camera base plate ?

I have to say that this is about the worst camera IMU that I have come across. Any correction to the disturbance seems purely coincidental.

Third Stick This is my single operator solution. A third 3 axis stick with top release button :)

Excellent job Bart. Nicely done!

When using the Open pilot or any other imu mounted directly on the camera baseplate it is important to know that there is a difference in the imu performance based on how you configure the servos. You have the choice of direct drive proportional with a normal servo or have the pot attached to...

With conventional heli underslung is the only way possible with that weight. Pendulum effect is always there. For absolute efficiency a slight reverse pendulum is better.

windyhorn One flywheel alone will not work. As it encounters a movement, other than around the rotation of the shaft, you will get a force at right angles to that movement only. It will topple immediately. It can be done with two flywheels but it is very complicated and it has to be too heavy...

Looking good Ken BTW everything shuts down here this week so your stuff will be in the post on Monday

Jeremy On the subject of mechanical gyros I did a lot of research. I was using very large kenlab KS-12's on my full size mounts but they still suffered from many problems. The way I got results was to use electronic inner axis base plates that only moved 3 degrees. Mechanical gyros are a non...

It is possible to mount those Panny's without vibration issues. you have to start with a whole new approach as you need to create a high mass beam to carry the camera mount. They are very sensitive to vibration but then any high sensitivity imu will be.

Remember to have at least a 1.5 mm gap under the caps!!!

Ken I have three of them one has an issue with the pressure sensor which is easily fixed - OFFERS

Bart The gyro which is the sensor that measures the (angular rotational disturbance) outputs a small mv. change from it's nominal analog output at rest. With an 8 bit Analog to Digital converter you get 1024 steps and with a 12 bit you get 4096 thus creating better resolution. What you do...

Droider I am using Arducopter, OpenPilot, Minsoo Kim, Fyetech. All good stuff. One of my Arducopter boards has different gyros. I have a lot of MK stuff that is in good working order but I just wont use it out of principle. any reasonable offer accepted.

This idea does have the potential to make a very serious camera mount IMU. With a 12 bit ADC you could have 4960 possible steps of resolution. May I ask what is wrong with just taking the conventional heli or fixed wing set-up and just placing the IMU on the camera base plate so it thinks it is...

I personally waisted a lot of money with MK and I will never go back. Pathetic engineering. Quality control does not exist. I sent two FC's back there, one of which had never been used. I got a bill for 250 euros for what should have been a warranty issue over the gyro problems they were having...
