Hello all, I'm doing some research for customer service purposes and I'd like to make a request of the community. If anyone out there is using the HoverflyGIMBAL on either an AV200 or a Cinestar gimbal in a professional setting, please send me a PM.

It's based on a CX4 frame, yes. But I meant that we generally put a canopy or dome of some sort on all of the aircraft we build.

You will not need to cover the barometer - it is not exposed. This is actually one of the reasons we put a canopy on our aircraft in the first place.

Hi Alain, All of our recommended brands are listed on the Support site, here: https://hoverflytech.zendesk.com/entries/21445286-Equipment-Recommendations For ESCs, we strongly recommend the Castle Creations Phoenix Ice Series, as they have taken steps to optimize their current firmware for...

We're really glad you're excited about the new firmware, kloner, but ... TMI, man.

Version 4.8 is now available in the Hoverfly Firmware Update Client. This is a fairly extensive update and may require recalibration for optimal performance. Please read the release notes for the full details.

It is intended to load automatically as it did in your case; the Download Driver link is just a helpful shortcut in those cases when it doesn't.

If your product was ordered in the last 3 months, it most likely has version 4.6 firmware on it. The Hoverfly Users' Guide, Firmware Update Client, and Setup Client are all available through the website, specifically here: http://www.hoverflytech.com/support_HUBT.html For anyone who decides to...

An update regarding this issue: due to a scheduling conflict, the beta test for the fix had to be pushed to Monday. We should have the new version released a day or two after that. Also, a little advanced warning: if you had to change your gain settings when you upgraded from an older version...

Per the link below, we are recommending that users not engage the Altitude Hold feature when using HoverflyPRO/GPS firmware v4.6rev1, rev2, rev3. https://hoverflytech.zendesk.com/entries/23174852-Altitude-Hold-issues-HoverflyPRO-GPS-firmware-v-4-6-r1-r2-r3 I am sure that you have all seen...

Hi all, Last night we released a fix for the roll-coupling issues that some Cinestar and PhotoHigher users have been seeing. Details can be found in the Release Notes, here:https://hoverflytech.zendesk.com/entries/23155141-HoverflyGIMBAL-Firmware-1-9r2 If you are using the HoverflyGIMBAL...

The new firmware version is essentially a patch for a PRO Auto-Level issue that we found in testing. It's very rare - only one case of it occurring outside our testing - but it's better to fix it before it causes any trouble. GPS function should be the same as the previous version, but since the...

Compass calibration is used by the magnetic heading lock feature. Since that is primarily a yaw feature - an axis your product doesn't have - I don't see much benefit to you in setting it up.

Hi Krzysiek, I haven't had any reported cases of this corrupt file message, but I do know that some users have had issues trying to download with Windows 8. George is working to update the clients so that they will be Windows 8-compliant.

Firmware version 4.6r3 is now available for both the HoverflyPRO and HoverflyGPS. This version corrects a reported issue which can cause the Auto Level feature to perform poorly. While the issue is rare, we strongly recommend that all users upgrade their firmware as soon as possible...

Hi BIGTACO, Having taken a look at the photograph you sent in, I believe you may need to move the mounting position of the HoverflyGIMBAL to the other side of the gimbal, away from the servos. Best of luck with your new product, and please keep me informed of any other concerns you may have.

I would like to see/read more about any specific preparations you guys make before flying in cold weather. We don't get much sub-freezing weather here in central Florida, so I think the additional field data would be interesting at the very least.

Hi Paul - That bit refers to the green adapter module that comes connected to the antenna. Technically, the "MediaTek antenna" is just the small tan square. The green (previously blue) board is an adapter module that DIYdrones adds. So they are advising you that their firmware most likely won't...

We just got our first batch of these over the holiday weekend. From all reports (and the little bit of testing I've had a chance to do), they work just like the v1, only faster and more reliably. They are also a bit larger due to the new 3DR board, about 1.5 inches square.

I don't understand what you're asking here. Mode 0 is intended mainly for take-off and landing - the features of this Mode are intended to keep the user from inadvertently damaging their equipment. For in-flight photography, you should be using Mode 1 or 2.
