Kinda renders the slew limiter useless.Pheliciano

Not really, you just have to set the limits twice. For the stabilization limits you set the ATV values on the servo tabs, and for stick limits you set the ATV values on the functions tab.
Having two sets of limits is actually very useful. For example: If you set your lower nick limit for the sticks to straight down (which is probably as far as you'll ever need to go), but you set the lower nick limit for stabilization to, say, 10 degrees past straight down, then it gives picloc 10 degrees of headroom to play with.
What it means is if you set the servo limits to just before your mechanical limits (to stop any nasty mechanical mishaps), and then you set your Function (stick) limits to be a little way inside the servo limits, picloc should be able to stabilize your camera at any angle you put it at with the sticks.
This does, of course cut down on the degree of travel you can control, and there will always be a trade off when setting your ATV limits this way. Like anything else in this game, your best bet is to play around and find out what works for you.

Have just read your post again wizprod and noticed you're talking about 360 servo. Missed that when I read it the first time. Please ignore my post if I missed the point entirely. I'll leave it up just in case it's useful to anyone else though.

That would be awesome!
Have the same question ..
Hi George.
I'm using the AV200, so i go with the "easiest" way.
so far, so good. but the roll is always to slow. its good, but always a little bit to slow. i set up the gains, but when i try different accelerations, it changes nothing. Acc=0, Acc=50, Acc=100. always a bit to slow.
Prop is 275, IMU is on 5, Acc-smoothing=0.
Servo is the Savox 1290MG, which is fast (what i think, trusting the tech.spez.)
what can i do?

He suggested to me to upgrade to an MKS BLS970 servo which is the same speed by spec, but much smoother and actually I think it is faster and is working very well. Easy Mod to 360. I also put one on tilt and moved the tilt servo to pan.
The problem you are having, I would suspect, is not the servo, but the pot. I don't know how your gimble is rigged but let's use an example.
If, to achieve full travel of a particular axis, your pot needs to rotates, say 2 turns. If the pot installed is a 5 turn unit, you will end up with what you describe (even a 3 turn might cause it, depends also on the servo). The servo slowly accelerate and slowly decelerate from one position to a new one.
What you need to do is gear your pot (or if the pot is direct drive, chose the correct no of turns) so that full travel of the axis result in almost full travel of the pot.
Use 5K ohm pots.

Hi all,
Connect to someone Picloc 3X PRO V2 receiver from Futaba R6208SB through via S-BUS Signal Inverter? as this https://www.mikrocontroller.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=86&products_id=669
and works him ??
Thanks
Peter

Hello,
I just got a V1 PICLOC3XPRO
After the connection of PICLOC 3X Picloctoolz V.058 on the PC, I get this message: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: InvalidArgument = The value '126 'is not valid for' SelectedIndex '.
Parameter name: SelectedIndex
to System.Windows.Forms.DomainUpDown.set_SelectedIndex (Int32 value)

An idea

That's vibration affecting your PL. Change the mounting tape you use to attach PL to your mount. You can also help by using the method described in HC rigid manual.

This way of mounting could actually amplify some vibration frequencies. FYI, my PL (first a V1, now a V2) are installed on a large petrol powered SRH. I did try at one point some very thick foam (dubro) but it made things worse.
