    Hoverfly Hoverfly Gimbal and Photoship 3X Pro

    hdj912; I am a complete newbie to all of this and did some damage getting started for really stupid reasons. My 3X Pro is installed "upside down" on a mast. I mounted the HFG on the bottom of the camera platform and began some tests. Pretty soon I hade the gimbal spinning around and getting the...

    Hoverfly HF Gimbal direct to joystick and switch.

    I am connecting my HF Gimbal board directly to a joystick and knob boxes from Servocity. How do I connect a three position switch if I do not have transmitter/receiver?

    Hoverfly HoverFly Gimbal Issues and questions.

    jbdww; It is my understanding that the acceleration rate gain controls the "attack" speed, or how quick the movement will happen. Sort of anticipating the movement via an accelerometer and then making the response even earlier, not necessarily more or less of a response. Also the camera platform...

    Hoverfly Horizon off level after curved turns/banked turns

    I have missed this one. This is bad news for me as the boat will be making mostly banked turns and will be rapidly panning. Bummer, got a couple of $k already invested.

    Hoverfly Horizon off level after curved turns/banked turns

    There seems to be a consensus that the pan drift problem might stem from temperature change. Users report no problem setting up and the stabilization works fine before flight but pan drift occurs during flight. Most of the mounts seem to be in open air and exposed to all the elements plus...

    Hoverfly Horizon off level after curved turns/banked turns

    Just came across a product called HotHands. It is a chemical hand warmer activated by air and sold in a sealed foil package. It is supposed to last up to 10 hours and is about the same size as the HF Gimbal.

    Hoverfly Hoverfly Gimbal and Photoship 3X Pro

    So HF cannot offer any estimate when, if ever their Photoship firmware will be ready. I have an opportunity to buy a used Picloc 3X Pro, and that seems to have fewer issues than the HF Gimbal. Am I doing the right thing? Does anyone want to buy a like new HF Gimbal?

    Hoverfly Horizon off level after curved turns/banked turns

    I will be using the HF Gimbal on a boat and will be experiencing some really varied ambient temeratures. Does it make sense to make a box for the board to insulate it from temperature extremes caused by wind and very hot/cold days?

    Hoverfly Hoverfly Gimbal and Photoship 3X Pro

    I have installed the Servox servos and have installed the Hoverfly Gimbal on the camera platform. Because I will be shooting for a few hours, I will need to have a power cord going to the camera plus 2 wires for a infrared remote and 2 more for video out. Then I have 9 wires going out for the 3...

    Hoverfly Hoverfly Gimbal and Photoship 3X Pro

    OK, so I just got the digital servo upgrade for my Photoship #X Pro. Where are we on the firmware, it has been a couple of weeks since it was reported as being "tweaked"?

    Hoverfly Hoverfly Gimbal and Photoship 3X Pro

    OK, so I got the BECl and the Photoship can take a maximum of 7.4 volts. I think that the boat environment will be very demanding and I want to work with the higher voltages. Can the Hoverfly Gimbal accept 7.4 volts?

    Hoverfly Hoverfly Gimbal and Photoship 3X Pro

    I am using the mast mounted version of the Photoship 3X Pro and shooting from the boat. Here is pic of the type of video boat. Since this implementation is going to be on a boat with a 12v system and will be running for a couple of hours at a time, I will be powering it from the boat's 12v...
