If I were God for a day the bleeding Phantom would be abolished. A curse on the poxy damn thing and the great ignorant unwashed that are able to afford it.

Damn. And I was hoping for 100.002%! I do a lot of one-man stuff and use the two receiver method. It gives me access to all the workarounds mentioned above. You do need 14 radio channels mind you to get 3-axis control plus record/shutter and the Oh-So-Useful 90° down flip on the Zens. But when...

The more things change .... the more they stay the same.

The One-Man update Other than a bit of cost saving on receivers, I don't see the attraction of the One-Man Op feature. Two receivers does the job and changing between One-Man and Two-Man takes about four seconds to rebind the Zen Rx to whichever Tx is required to operate it. What would be a...

Really? I have just installed the Pro Plus puck with its obligatory FW2.4 upgrade on the second airframe that the Z15-GH2 previously functioned with and it now rejects the Zen. When powered up all seems normal and the Z15 spins its regular initialising dance. But as soon as it stops and faces...

It's very, very clever but I don't quite get the point. After expending all that energy on stabilising a camera and maintaining the horizontal that our eyes crave, instead of the leaning-all-over-the-place wobble that it used to be with any camera not bolted onto a platform of some sort, we now...

Voila. The eternal 360° Pan axis problem. The likely problem will be that any voltage close enough might not have the amperage and so, as you suggest, will upset normal operation of the Zen. There has to be a solution though. There is a solution for everything.

Any drift is annoying but drift in the pan axis is the most liveable with. However, Pan drift is another issue altogether. I was referring to the need for flying cables for camera output/control just waiting to wrap themselves around the 360° pan because there appear to be no camera plate...

The Gremsy gStabi H14 does look attractive but, like pretty much every handheld brushless gimbal out there, it does not tick all my boxes for helicam use - even though they market the 'Aerial Combo' version. As far as I am aware the only BG that addresses horizon drift when the gimbal is moved...

Sorry to bring out this old chestnut again. As eCalc becomes more sophisticated it now gives a 'coax' option, although I don't know how accurate the projections are with such a theoretic calculator. But it does calculate a considerable drop in overall lifting power for the coaxial 8 against the...

???! Ye Gods. Well, that is why I was asking. I have had the BMPCC sitting in its delivery box for about two years. Finally got it out and tried it and I have to say that I am really impressed with the image quality. I thought the GH3 was pretty damn good until I saw the BMPCC resolution. So...

This post was about the Gremsy gStabi H14 and has been moved to a more appropriate thread.

Well I also have three batteries and I was being slightly sarcastic saying "fifteen minutes", but even if you get thirty or forty minutes it is still tiresome to have to remove the camera to replace the battery several times a day. So a nice handy 12v supply from the mount into the charge socket...

Hmm. Curious. It worked okay before the ProPlus/FW2.4 upgrade and it still works with the second virtually identical airframe on FW2.3 with the old puck. Nothing else is different. How tiresome.

Has anyone ever customised a Z-15 BMPCC to supply 12v to the camera, instead of stopping everything every 15 minutes to remove the camera from the gimbal and replace its battery?

I have two identical EVO's. I upgraded the GPS puck to the new Pro Plus on only one EVO, just to make sure it all worked before upgrading the second. The first 'nuisance' with the Pro Plus is that you MUST update the firmware to v2.4. After fiddle-faddling about trying to remove the airport...

Arrgh. Forget all that diplomatic PC crap. Let all Phantoms/Inspires burn - but outside of airplanes.

I certainly do not disagree. It's scam to make customers pay to replace a purchased item that did not quite cut it. It was the same with the ESC's, the flexi-booms, the WKM IMU. By the way, for anyone using a Mac with Parallels to run Windows, there is a problem with the Disable Airport Limit...

Don't get too excited. When it arrives you will have to update the firmware for it to be recognised and then re-enter all parameters. Best to zero the whole lot and start from scratch. Then you will have some relatively endless buggering around to get the compass calibrated and to disable the...

I use the DJI airframes only because I have them - by an unfortunate accumulation of necessities. It was only the Zenmuse I ever wanted - remember that it was the ONLY option two years ago. The WKM was a prerequisite for the Zen and the original S800 was a reluctant alternative to the Droidworx...
