Well, I'm still getting quite a bit of twitching using my Naza even with the 3156 servos. Everything is smooth with no binding and I don't have any slop anywhere. I'll post a video of my problem as soon as it uploads to Youtube. You can even hear the servos twitching after I land. It seems like it gets worse as the flight goes on too. I'm pretty sure it's not the gimbal but the Naza causing the problem.

Here is a video without the gimbal to show how smooth the quad normally is.

I'm pretty sure that's shortage of power to the servos. You must not power them using the WKM or Naza. I power mine using a Turnigy 6V 3A ubec, the ubec powered by either the balance lead of the main flight pack or a separate small lipo.

That looks heavy. This is the gopro mount for the F1. it comprises of just two brackets that weigh just 10 grams. It is stabilised by a AMP-2 special edition that I have been working on and is in a different world. It has speed and accuracy. No prop.wash. View attachment 3566View attachment 3567

I tried using a BEC as well and it still did it. My gains are at 20 for pitch and 25 for roll. I can lower them down to about 10 and it pretty much goes away but I don't have much travel then.

That's got me stumped. I have both gains set at 23, limits 1000, 0 , -1000. Wiring as above.

You could try it after disconnecting one or the other servo to try and narrow down the problem.

I'm about to head to Gatlinburg for a convention so it will have to wait until I get back. I noticed that some cheaper analog servos I have don't seem to do it when I plug them in. I might try those after I get back too.

I was wondering if the 550 gear would work. Do you have any pictures of them? My extended legs are just barely long enough if the ground is level but if the ground is uneven it can hit the gimbal. Of course I need to figure out my twitchy gimbal servo problem before I put it back on anyway.

I[/URL]'ve got a f450 frame on it's way to have a look at.

Looks really good. It might be getting a little on the heavy side though for a F450 once you add the gimbal to it. Maybe I just need to upgrade. :D

Nice looking landing gear setup, would work well on a lot of frames besides just the F550.

I solved the gimbal servo twitching problem with the Naza. I bought a WKM. :nevreness: I haven't mounted the gimbal but I plugged it all in and got no twitching at all and the servos were silent unless they were moving. I am now considering selling the Naza controller and getting an F550 frame and getting the F550 gear for it.

Any chance of getting this to work with a JVC GZ-HM50. I really the the video from this camera and would like to find a good gimbal for it

I FINALLY got to really use the gimbal last weekend. I upgraded to a F550 since the prices dropped on the DJI frames and had quite a bit more space and lifting ability. I didn't even adjust the gimbal settings in the Wookong because I was in a hurry to get it done and it worked very well. I have a regular FPV camera and the GoPro both hooked up to a video switcher. Yesterday afternoon there were storms nearby and it was a little windy on the ground but not too bad. I flew around some and then went up pretty high looking at the video output from the GoPro in the gimbal. I was looking around and then switched back to the FPV camera and it kinda freaked me out when the horizon was 30 degrees or so tilted due to all the wind up there. :D

I only had a little bit of jello while the gimbal was moving quite a bit like when I was changing directions or manually tilted the gimbal. I am wondering if it is vibration from the servos moving. If so, any ideas on how to stop it?
