Hello group, I have building multirotors for several years now and have had many many packages sent from China to my home in NZ. I like some of the TAROT gear - particularly their worm driven landing gear so I do not mean to bash their products. But what I have found is they are not willing...

5D - 550D Profiles Hi Guys - I am happy to share my profiles. They are work in progress of course - Currently I am working to increase the available tuning band between LF and HF oscillations. You guys know this all ready but these profiles are simply a starting point for your own tuning...

Hi, do you still have any ? Do you ship international ? Cheers

Oh BTW Monty - to lock the horizon I increased the gyro trust to 250

Kloner and Monty - you are right the EPIC will need to be balanced to the mm, that is certainly possible [but fiddly] to achieve even with the standard Epic tray - hopefully Kim will release an adjustable tray if there is enough interest. With the EPIC you might have problems tilting up or down...

Av200 idd test - canon 550d Here is a test I shot yesterday with the 550D and 10-22. https://vimeo.com/79614363 I am getting the gimbal tuned better and have sorted out the issue I was having where the gimbal would roll off when you panned quickly - this clip shows how the...

The Epic is not mounted correctly in that pic - they need to be redone - you are correct it still hangs from the top.

JC - My understanding is that the PH kit will not include Alexmos but will include Maxon motors if you require them. Best check with them directly.

Hi Xero - yes they have the Maxons in stock and they can be ordered as part of the upgrade kit or as part of a complete gimbal. I think the pitch is greatly improved through the roller drive - you just need to be aware that the roll axis is 10:1 gearing and the pitch is 4:1 so you need to be...

Hi Xero I asked Kimberly from Photohigher what Maxons they are and he said that they were manufactured specifically to PH specs - so I guess they do not have a product number sorry. With the tilt you are right , this has been the hardest axis to tune however the roller drive has resolved all...

Hi Tahoe I will post some pics of the setup when I get a minute. DSLR seem to balance fine, there is just enough width in the tray to allow the camera to be shifted a little to the right and offset the weight of the motor - because of the reduction gears balance is not quite as critical as for...

I shot this clip in less than 20 mins on a Canon 5D2 with an L series 17-40 zoom. A few of the shots were at 40mm, no post production stabilization has been used. https://vimeo.com/79463907 This was a hand held AV200 gimbal with Maxon brushless motors and Alex Moss boards in Follow Me mode. I...

That is an interesting question. short answer is I don't know for sure because those configurations have not been tested yet. I do know this - I am running that test gimbal on 3S and I have not set full power to the motors in the GUI, I believe you can run the Alex Moss boards up to 5S so you...

No worries ; ) With the upgrade I guess it depends on if you require 2 or 3 axis, if you are interested please contact them directly, I dont work for them, I just help them with flight testing as I live in the same town and run four or five MR.

@iceman - in answer to your questions: 1/ This is an upgrade to the PH hardware, the motors need new mounts, they need shafts, the tilt shaft needs support and a bearing otherwise the tilt axis will flutter, there are updated drive mechanisms for all axis, roller drive on the roll replaces the...

I am not sure of the price - best you contact Photohigher directly. I am sure it is not an expensive upgrade however I believe you source your own motors and Alex Moss boards. Hope that help ?

Here is my very first test flight with the new AV200 Brushless upgrade from Photohigher. https://vimeo.com/78403481 Not bad for the first hit out, all the major problems of using the inexpensive Tiger motors and Alex Moss boards to drive large DSLR cameras have been addressed successfully...

Have a good look at your motors and check they are all vertical -

Thanks Dave - there is a pic of it on my FB page - https://www.facebook.com/skyhooknz - cheers.
