Well Tuukkuli, unfortunately, based on your response, I'd say you've covered all your bases in eliminating outside factors from being the cause of your issue. While I am not experiencing this, and many people are very happy with the ones they have, you certainly sound like you got one of the few...

Is there any possibility that the IMU of your flight controller isn't pointed perfectly straight and in line with your Zenmuse mount? At this point we've covered a lot of possible causes and solutions. I am curious to to know what the actual problem ends up being (or combination of issues)...

Yes, retractable landing gear. I don't like the Cinestar style crab legs because when the gimbal is initialized, the IMU gets no motion data from the 3rd axis and tries to move it. The result is the copter turns instead when its on the ground. Retracts solve that. There's also less air...

I absolutely feel that having a second operator for the camera is a fundamental requirement for dynamic, interesting, and unique shots. Besides that, it takes a tremendous amount of responsibility away from the pilot, and significantly lowers the risk associated with pilot error. No one in the...

Guys, I can't help but chime in here in defense. As an owner of this gimbal as well as piloting pro rigs with dual red epic cameras for 3D stereoscopic 5k filming, it's easy to blame equipment. Many people were extremely satisfied with the Wookong but others suffered the flip of death. While...

Well, if you aren't sure what to do, then I guess you don't have a compelling reason to stray from the setup that is proven and more simple. Since the zenmuse needs 4s minimum and the power consumption is rated at 200-400ma which is equivalent to a string of led lights or a fpv transmitter. This...

Well, I can tell you first hand that coupled with the latest updates, and flying the A2, there is no issues here. As far as the 16-35 lens, I can tell you that the only difference I can imaging for having another version of the zen for the 5D, would be for people who want to buy one that has...

Interesting you mention that lens. The 24mm is a great focal length but that 50mm 1.4 is exactly what I was thinking earlier today for closer stuff. Yesterday I was shooting aerial of radio contro helicopters doing acrobatic tricks and the 24 was too wide. I bet the 50 will throw off the balance...

I know how you feel, but the A2 is pretty amazing. The only thing I've found that helps me over the anxiety of reliability is more flight time. Let it prove itself to you, and the confidence will come. In windy conditions it does fight hard to hold its position, and although it can be unnerving...

Quinton, Im not sure what you are referring to actually. I reviewed the footage at 1:10 and don't see the issue you describe. Smooth as silk. I think it could be Vimeo on your computer, but I don't see it on mine, or the original footage. The only place I see anything remotely objectionable is...

5D Mark III Zenmuse video Guys, here is a link to some footage we shot over the last few days in Connecticut. My partner John cut it and posted it to Vimeo. This footage has no stabilization added in post. I cannot express enough how well this gimbal works. We flew yesterday in some serious...

They have more radio control stuff in stock than anywhere else around, but the multi rotor rage is just getting going. They ordered the Z15 for me, but he got two because it was available. The other one is still there. I know Chris, the owner, really well. Ive been racing Rc Cars there for 20...

Yeah, I hear you. A bad experience will certainly make you consider others.

Good lord...Im flying the A2 and couldn't be more pleased. The WKM doesn't compare. Have you considered raising the GPS antenna higher? In the software, under tools, you can monitor GPS and IMU data in real time. Wave your cell phone over the antenna, and the GPS will go wild. These things need...

They have one in stock where I got mine...RCMadness

When we shoot, its always in manual, 24 fps, 1/50th shutter speed. Exposure is determined by ISO and aperture. Generally we stop down to f/ 11 or f/16, however in this video, we were likely at f/5.6 or so. My partner is a pro steadicam operator, and in the movie industry, 24fps is standard. They...

Exactly, however, if I had the extra cash, Id go this way... http://www.allieddrones.com/collections/mounts/products/jump-cut-cinestar-quick-release-gimbal-system

Actually, all you need to do is mount 2 rails underneath. Look at the Tarot Ironman 1000 parts. Its a clone of your cinestar, and rails are available. Its up to you. I personally use a carbon core octo 1000 and I have DJI s800 retracts, along with the rails and a quick release to dismount the...

yes... Yes, it was not tight enough...fortunately, we caught that....

Hey guys, we shot video last night and a couple of hours today. For starters, the gimbal is so free of friction when not powered that it is in fact easy to see that the CF card does make it off balance slightly. The lens cap makes the camera noticeably front heavy as well. We use the magic...
