No, I am not working for Plettenberg, but I want to have the best motor for my copter. Yes, they are not on the Plettenberg website, because this is a special type. I have done some development and calculations for this special motor and Plettenberg build this first prototypes for me. Next...

Cinema Series was the name for the prototype and project. Now it is ready and has a real name: SkyJib. I have one SkyJib 8 here and can tell you, it is a very very fine product. It is designed for big movie cameras like Arri or RED Epic and bigger and much stronger as the AD series. On the last...

That's wrong and your problem. You have to level the copter exactly on the ground and than throttle up and yaw right. The values will be stored now. Do this only one time to store the ACC zero level. Than, bevor every start (copter is standing on the ground, but not perfect leveled) throttle up...

I will have this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaMTSOI1Zk4 :-)

I'm using modified Hitec servos with 7.4 Volt. They are working fine in the AV 200. Sorry, can't give you the product number yet, sitting at the Beach. Savöx are also Fine servos. ... and don't use analog servos, they are not "analog", they are only slower. Full ack to Jes111.

Yes, I used a seperate RX only for the CC board. The problem was, to find the stabilisation settings. The stabilisation was to slow, then to fast, then the camera moved a little bit to much and so on. It was not possible for me to find the right values, that the camera is looking in one...

@jes1111 It is possible to order the motor with axis at front site (heli style) or axis at back site. ;-) You will get details about the new version and for ordering in the next days. I am in convesation with Plettenberg about the best handling.

Yes, over all the weight saving is not so much, but don't forget, this is rotating mass. A lower rotating mass gives a better regulation with faster response and lower current. Try a 20 grams propeller and in comparison a 40 grams propeller.

Bart, you have to connect minus (ground) from the second battery and the main battery. Ground from the power supply for the servos and ground for the servo signal have to be on the same level. I am using this with 7,4 Volt for the servos and it is working fine. (high voltage servos)

Hello my friends, the Plettenberg engine on the DW website is a new special version. This engine is NOT on the Plettenberg website. To change some important details for the DW frames is my idea. I am working together with Plettenberg and here are some details: - new titanium axis (7 gram less)...

@jes1111 I tried you configuration and it works. Thank you! Now I have to do some fine tuning to find the best values and fix the board on the camera mount to test it.

For professional working I want to use one transmitter and receiver for the copter and the camera man a second transmitter and a second receiver for the camera mount. .

I'm also very interested. :-) I have the CC board here, but don't know how to configure it for only camera stabilization. Dirk

Yes. Dirk

My tip: use a JETI transmitter and receiver. It's possible to configure the receiver with failsafe data. If the signal is lost, the receiver changes to predefined values for all channels. My settings: Roll, nick and yaw to zero Throttle to 46% (needed for altitude hold and a sink rate of 0,5...

@dankers Nice nice! What do I have to do, when I want to use the OpenPilot board only for stabilization of a 3 axis camera mount? Has the hardware 3 PWM inputs and 3 PWN outputs? Software? Thank you

Have a look for the VN-100 IMU. they are using a kalman filter - it looks fine. Dirk

Hi Bart, yes, I'm using a 5D Mark II. Motors: MK3538 (equ. Pulso 2814/22), there is a new series MK3638 with larger bearings Props: APC 12x6 LiPo: Turnigy 4S 5000 40C Flighttime is 6 minutes with 1 minute reserve for landing Complete weight is 4,8Kg, hovering current is ~ 45A Dirk

I'm using PTGUI for stitching. Dirk
