    YUN-1, anybody else pre-ordered this?

    The bigger one can take up to a Nex 5 or similar size/weight camera and also work with anything smaller. You will need to retune the settings for a lighter load but it's not difficult to do and with the 2.0 release of firmware you'll be able to save settings to a file so all you need to do is...

    FreeFly's direct drive gimbal...

    Yeah, and how big of second mortgage do you need to take on your house to pay for it along with their new flight controller system. I'm willing to bet it's at least as pricey as a Zenmuse and probably more, much more... Ken

    YUN-1, anybody else pre-ordered this?

    No, that one is the larger GotHeli gimbal capable of carrying a Nex5 or a pair of GoPro. Honestly for the extra $100 I'd go with the bigger gimbal if your multi can carry it, gives you more options on what cameras you can use. I have the YUN-1 almost ready to fly on a Mikrokopter Hexa, from...

    YUN-1, anybody else pre-ordered this?

    Quality of the video produced with this gimbal has very little to do with the frame its flying under, I can show you plenty of videos I've done with the same frame and Photohigher AV130 gimbal that don't even come close to what this gimbal can do. I think next time I need to strap a GoPro to the...

    YUN-1, anybody else pre-ordered this?

    Sony Nex 5n, a bit too big for the YUN-1 but fits perfectly on the GotheliRC gimbal. Ken

    YUN-1, anybody else pre-ordered this?

    Yes there is provision to connect to either a flight controller or receiver to manually change tilt angle. I'm running both of mine on 3S, the YUN can handle 4S but probably best to use a filtered BEC at 12 volts, so far that has worked best for me. I just got the manual and haven't had a...

    YUN-1, anybody else pre-ordered this?

    The information on one of the Nex 5 sized gimbals is here... http://www.gothelirc.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=201&cat=Brushless+Gimbal I have this one setup and flying on a Cinestar 6, this is from a quick test flight in windy conditions, weather permitting I'll be out getting better...

    New To RC, Need to fly a red epic over stadium crowd next week. Advice needed

    I suppose they have but you'd have to be either super filthy rich or excessively bad with money to shell out $60,000 plus for a RED with no idea of how you're going to use it. It would be somewhat equivalent to buying a Ferrari for the sole purpose of going back and forth to work in the rush...

    New To RC, Need to fly a red epic over stadium crowd next week. Advice needed

    True, but besides the date the giveaway was this line ' I recently bought a Red Epic to hopefully get into the video industry.' No one is going go shell out that kind of $ without a clue as to what they're doing, had it been a bit more believable as in a GoPro or Nex 5 or something equally...

    Brushless Gimbal Complete - Vendor Links

    The YUN-1 I had on order just arrived, plan is to mount it under my MK hexa V1 if it will fit, looks like it will be close with the flexlander legs, may have to change those to something a bit longer. Quite obvious it's not an original Alexmos controller but a clone of it, I've read that the...

    New To RC, Need to fly a red epic over stadium crowd next week. Advice needed

    Not really, I wanted to see how long it took anyone else to say something about my post, 3 hours,you guys are SLOW! ;) It was immediately obvious that it was an April fool post but I figured I'd bite and sit back see what happens, I'm a little disappointed, but then again this isn't RCG...

    New To RC, Need to fly a red epic over stadium crowd next week. Advice needed

    If I were asked to come up with the absolute worst possible scenario for potential disaster this would be it. Best advice, get someone who has either a Skyjib or Cinestar that is already setup to fly a RED and has verified experience doing it. Also make sure you and they have insurance and it's...

    My brushless gimbal result

    The gimbal is attached to a Cinestar 6 frame with a Wookong-M flight controller, AXI 2814-22 motors, and HK Blue series 30 amp ESCs with SimonK firmware. I know it doesn't show in the video but in some scenes you can see the wind blowing flags on nearby houses and occasionally the bare tree...

    My brushless gimbal result

    Here's this morning's test flight, I'd say this one is fully dialed in now. Still have a little work to do on the Cinestar itself, that slight yaw motion has to go but it's nice to know it's not the gimbal doing it. Need to fine tune the isolation mounts for this gimbal as well but overall just...

    AV 130 with RSGS

    Photohigher AV130 V2 with Skyline RSGS plus the original external pots to use it without the RSGS if you want. Complete setup has maybe an hour of flight time on it, I'm now using a brushless gimbal and won't be using this 130 any more. $650 shipped, North America only. PM me if...

    My brushless gimbal result

    It's actually very easy. Do a calibration with the camera platform flat and level, use a bubble level to make sure it's absolutely level side to side and front to back before clicking on the calibrate button in the GUI. Now swing the camera platform forward or backward so that it is 90 degrees...

    gopro fpv?

    Of the half dozen or so FPV quads I have I fly two of them exclusively through the GoPro, I have yet to see any kind of lag that would be problematic. If there is any appreciable lag it's well under a second as I've always managed to avoid tree branches and other immovable objects but maybe that...

    DJI Zenmuse has no value anymore.

    Yes, Wookong-M from day 1. I've also had the YS-X6 on it and have a complete MK stack that has been on there too. Of all the various combos I've used on it I keep coming back to the WKM, it flys better than anything else I've used for APV and that includes H/F. Thing I like most about the WKM is...
