WooKong M gimbal travel problem.

I noticed that my pitch travel is pretty limited, level to 45 degrees down. I was hoping for 90 degrees, but no matter what I program in the radio with X3 it doesn't make any difference. I've seen this topic come up, but I can't seem to find the discussion. Any ideas?

i think you are sure that your gimbal servo support this amount of angle?

 

[srbell]

yes

i think you are sure that your gimbal servo support this amount of angle?

When I hook the servo directly to an s-bus decoder I can get a full 90 degrees. I'm wondering if DJI limits the travel of the servo so that at either end of the gimbal's pitch the gyro can still function.

You can get a few more degrees out of it by adjusting the center point of the servo. I think it's 90 degrees total, so you are seeing the 45 forward, and there is also 45 back to help adjust the camera during travel. If you don't mind giving up some backwards travel, you can get more forward pitch. I had mine so it was about 80 degrees forward and only a little bit back.

I can't remember exactly how I did it in the software, but look for the center control and then offset your servo horns to match it. That should get you close.

It is DJI's way of upping the resolution. Even with MKS HV787 servos in direct drive it is too slow. You are better off with a CC board as a stand alone camera stabilizer as you have many more parameters to play with. I have not tried Picloc V3 but V2 was a total waste of time and money IMHO. Sorry George.
