Hi guys,
I'm having some trouble getting my zenmuse to calibrate. I just got the whole s800 back up in the air after it flipped over on take off and broke a couple of arms. The z15g on it didn't sustain any visual impact or damage, and the first time I took it out shooting after repair it worked alright. It did calibrate incorrectly once where it finished the whole process with the lens pointing backwards at the roll axis servo but that has happened a couple of times in the past. The next day I took it out again and it didn't calibrate successfully even once. It would just spin and spin wildly, which made for some pretty nauseating video. I attempted to physically guide it to where it should be and it started the calibration process over again but would end up with the lens pointing backwards every time. The kicker is that without the weight of the camera it calibrates itself every time, albeit with some leveling and drift issues. Everything is pretty well balanced, are my gimbal motors not supplying enough torque? That seems hard to believe watching the rate and which it can spin itself, but I can't shake the suspicion that the roll axis is having some issues to that end because it doesn't like to flip over. I've attached a couple videos showing what I've described above, I'd love to hear your ideas.
Thanks,
-Sean
