Picloc 3x setting experience etc.

I'm new to Picloc.
I would like to mount it on the Cinestar 360 gimbal. I power the cinestar servos on 5V. Can I also power the Picloc with the same Ubec? Where is the best place to mount it?

I've managed to set up my picloc. But when I rotate my camera around, roll and tilt are moving. Even if mount is leveled. What did I do wrong here?

Please, no autopano for now. Concentrate on the main functions first, the shifting roll axis drives me crazy.

...and i would like to ask about the un-linear-moving Pan and the e-Stop-funktion (its only stopping after "going home" and releases after "going home"????)

Hallo,

would it be of any help if you know my settings? My roll axis is stable.

he must has have vibrations, hasn't he? doublecheck how you sticked or screwed your picloc to the gimbal. it is probably too tight. put it for testing in a box with bubble wrap around.

Does anyone use the picloc on a CS360 type of mount, (where the legs pan with the gimbal)? AND have picloc stabilize pan?
Upon Bootup the pan will go at lightening speed trying to stabilize, which obviously only turns the copter around, until you pick it up off the ground. It's especially bad if you have a fast servo, as it draws a lot of power to spin the copter.
The workaround I'm thinking of is booting on a riser, so the legs aren't touching the ground.
I would love for the picloc to have a switch to stop the pan until it's in the air.

ere you can see a vid that shows the advantage of having a pan-function.

But maybe its not a question of settings but vibrations.

I am using my own build gimbal. Video is here:

Hmmm n1 my friend.. :) :)

Your videos are great..! you dont have any problems?? right???

How did you mount it??!
 



You can see it. It ist two rubber parts ( I dont know the english word) as they are used by MK for the FC which can be screwed on. It is a bigger one and a smaler one in line.
Here is a detailed picture:https://www.dropbox.com/s/e2d8rlk7rao04aw/DSC00071.JPG

The picloc is mounted with tape. Nothing special. But I always make dead sure that there are no vibrations from the motors. I usually take of the top (sorry dont know the word) and then put the propellershaft ino a lathe (a drilling machine does the same job) and then masure very acurate if the shaft of the motor is turning exactly round. 2/100 of a millimeter is to much. In other words if you bump your propeller into something while carrying your copter it is very likely that this motor is having vibrations from now on.
