    WKM gimbal jitters

    My pitch twitches on my naza too. It twitches sitting still. I have plugged several servos into it and it seems like the more expensive, digital servos do it much worse than the cheap, analog ones. I also plugged everything up yesterday and it wasn't twitching at all. I unplugged and plugged...

    New GoPro Tilt and roll gimbal

    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

    New GoPro Tilt and roll gimbal

    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.

    Do you have any plans for f450 gear?

    Batteries.. 3s or 4s ?

    If you are heavy go with 4S and 8" props. I am using 4S 4000mah packs on mine with FPV gear and a GoPro and get 12 minute flights with the motors,esc's, and the battery coming down cool. It also seems much smoother than it was on 3S with 10" props.

    New GoPro Tilt and roll gimbal

    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 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.

    New GoPro Tilt and roll gimbal

    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...

    I got the mounting plates for the 3156 servos today. Just in time for my trip to Gatlinburg tomorrow! Hopefully I'll get them installed tonight and tested. If not, I'll have something to keep me occupied in the hotel room.

    Thanks! I didn't think my little pieces were them but I figured I would ask.

    New GoPro Tilt and roll gimbal

    Good. I hate that I have to get new servos for it but I'm really glad it isn't the gimbal or the naza. I got 4 little plates that I had no clue what they were. Are these the servo plates? If so, how exactly do you mount them? If not, what are they? There is no mention of them in my manual.

    New GoPro Tilt and roll gimbal

    Looks good. I finally found a good way to mount mine to my F450 and flew with it yesterday. It worked well but I have a problem with some jerky movement. I'm not sure if it is my servos or the Naza doing it really. I am using HS 65s so that may be the problem. I might try the 3156 since...

    Bad Motor?

    Yeah, I've taken it apart and can't find anything wrong with it visually and the bearings feel fine but when I turn it it the "cogging" feels a little rougher than the other motors. Can't see anything rubbing but something isn't right with it. I actually found some bearings the same size and...

    don't use DJI props they snap 8"

    That was the website I was looking for. :D I knew I saw them somewhere but couldn't remember where.

    don't use DJI props they snap 8"

    That sounds promising. Where did you get the Graupners?

    don't use DJI props they snap 8"

    I'm really not 100% sure which way it was spinning. I thought of that as well. It probably just came loose, I'll have to check the roof. :D I know the other nuts are very tight. I changed around a couple of motors a few minutes ago and could barely get the nuts loose. I was afraid I was...

    Bad Motor?

    Hi everyone. I flew my F450 a lot this weekend and had good luck with it in both calm and windy conditions. Right before I came home yesterday from the field I had a minor flip over and bent up a prop. I changed it and did a very short FPV flight but the picture was cutting in and out due to...

    don't use DJI props they snap 8"

    You guys have got me wondering if I had one break on my last Friday. I was flying FPV and up pretty high and the quad flipped and fell to the ground. The prop nut was missing as well as the prop so I just assumed the nut came loose. I know they were tight and couldn't figure out how it came...

    Bolting through F450 bottom plate?

    Hi Gary, nice to see you here. That is what I was afraid of, I could see it on the bottom but not on the top. I am wanting to move my gimbal there to help with the CG. I made a mount for the gimbal that goes on top of the arms so I may just leave it there then. I was thinking of using...

    New GoPro Tilt and roll gimbal

    I originally had it a little closer but with the Naza it didn't have enough travel to keep it level. The travel was at the maximum in the software. Now that it is smooth it has no problem moving it and the travel is just under 100%. I may have bent the link a tad when I popped it on causing...
