I agree with keeping it simple, The notion that you need to have a fast moving gimbal to allow heavy handed stick inputs is really something that will work against you and not help you. The less input the operator makes the better the footage will look. If you need to move the camera fast to...

Think about it, If the gimbal is working correctly then the camera does not actually move or create inertial loads, accept when the operator gives an input. As inputs should always be slow and gentle then the motors only need a lot of power when the gimbal is a long way out of balance or has...

I think the dual motor concept could work and it could also work with a say 2:1 belt drive to also add torque. This would mean running two separate controllers and two IMU's. By setting a very slight difference in the IMU attitude you would create a slight torque bias removing any backlash...

I did have an issue but with a heli. which is far more prone to this problem when shooting into the light. You must keep the blade shadow off the front element and not just shield the angle of view. Inside the hood, it must be matt black or it will bounce the light. We use Barn Doors for most...

I shoot at F8 and use this kind of hood it is home made:tennis:

I think the Gemfan 15x4 is the best, so long as you balance it in the vertical and horizontal plain. Don't forget that using adapters will increase the overall C of G of the motor so if you have ANY imbalance it will be magnified into a torsional vibration along the arm, that once exited will...

Yeah. Nice work.

Did you try .21 wire and 150 star turns yet on any other motors? I have two coming and will be trying them soon. I have used the 3506 MT in that wind, but with .2 wire which works ok but I like the idea of the larger 50 mm bell dia. for DSLR weights. All this motor rewinding takes me back a...

Send an email to phebe.chou@iflight-rc.com and ask her for special 4006 / 360Kv motor for brushless gimbal. You may have to buy through a dealer.

I-Flight-RC.com have some nice motors wound with .21 wire 150 turns WYE Good price also.

This one of my Zens. fitted to a heli. The mods. are moving the IMU to the side so that one can access the On/Off switch properly. The camera trigger has a s/s reflector to keep direct sunlight out. The third mod is fitment of a spirit level to allow a quick set-up before T/O and the forth is a...

The problem when you watch on Vimeo and Youtube is that the footage is highly compressed which results in some frame losses and color artifacts. When you add to that the connection speed of your provider and the time of day, you get a less than a smooth picture. It is not the fault of the...

I never had this problem until the last upgrade. As I only use it as a two man op. it is not that much of a problem if you are continuously flying the mount. But hey, it is supposed to work in all of the modes. A point worth considering if you use a Zen on a SR Heli.. Most SR's hover with a...

You get some serious speed outa that thing!! I have just been checking out some Range Video stuff as I want some longer range for my motor gliders. You using that stuff? Or have you got some cool recommendations?

I ran Suppos for a while. The main problem that I found was that they are very inconsistant. When I checked them out on my test rig. Some had bad vibration problems and the power consumption was not then same from one motor to the next for a given lift value on the same test prop. Out of ten...

Fredrik That is working very well. what are those motors rewound from?

I think it says volumes about a platform when the gimbal has a pre-set Crash mode. The lag in the response is unbelievable. Some way to go before I would buy one of those contraptions. Looks like a number of other fundamental layout mistakes in that design. More worrying is reports that on the...

2009 was a year when I had a lot of different ideas in the pipe and it was the first time that I was able to successfully apply footage from a UAV into a commercial production. The DVD Living by the Sea was put together from a whole bunch of multi format clips that were shot on the back of...

When comparing my CSG board with some of the others I can see some differences. Viacopter for example has a couple of capacitors and a direct mini usb socket instead of the FTDI. FPV seem to be having some issues and passing out beta stuff in the meantime....

Only with brushless motors with a specific Ohms rating resistance across two phases. Soon there will be ready to use motors everywhere!!! If you are a good DIYer then start now but if not I would buy one of the upcoming ready to use jobs. There was a vid. on RCG showing the new 2 axis DJI for...
