I have this D5200 for a long time. It's a nice camera all in all, but no match for a GH4 on the video side. However it does allow interesting lens choices and simulating near GH4 weight. I wouldn't use it professionally though.
The Strata should be around $300-$400, depending on the final...
It's a Nikon D5200, so not particularly light either (about GH4 size).
Strata is a direct upgrade. You disconnect the Spectar IMU, and put the Strata on. It's the same bolt pattern too.
This video was filmed without encoders. We will have encoder support in v2000.
I don't think a 40 degree horizon tilt is typical of most users (or we'd sell nothing and have no videos whatsoever).
The fact Zen and Movi use encoders have nothing to do with their horizon performance. I'm sure DJI would love to lose the encoders on their smaller gimbals but it makes the...
Funny thing is that I just looked over the RCG thread and I'm right there on the last page, so I have no idea what you're talking about (and neither do you).
It's not about being headstrong, its a matter of development priorities. Currently there's a single gimbal you can buy - Jakub's - with encoders, and he's working exclusively with Alexmos so its not something we will support.
Encoders would do nothing to help horizon. GPS could help but its a...
Not exactly the same IO, but close (obviously it's so much smaller and something had to give). Same features as the CP/CPHV currently have.
Encoders could be supported once there are gimbals with encoders. Other than Jakub's (which works exclusively with Alexmos), it hasn't caught on too much...
Roughly 32.5mm by 55mm.
Family picture (disregard the connector exiting to the side - on the production boards, all connectors are vertical for easy enclosure mounting):
First, Alexmos isn't open source and has no derivatives. Second, assuming all gimbal controllers are equivalent is very far from reality. Gimbal controllers are potentially more complicated than flight controllers (they certainly require much higher bandwidth, precision and consistency). There...
Well this is Jakub's own video with the earlier InfinityMR (I think he changed some stuff from there to now):
It's not perfect, but it is significantly better than what was posted here. In both cases I'm sure there can be improvements with fine tuning.
