Kloner, are those the stock TBS 900's? Can't wait to see what you guys come back with from Vegas, although you know what they say - "What goes on in Vegas, stays in Vegas"

There are no build instructions only videos which ticked me off ! One detailed mechanical drawing of which parts goes where for the gimbal at least would have been nice !
I am also a Little worried that all of the components for the direct drive gimbal are on the top plate. Think it would have been nice similar to the core to make it a separate board that gets soldered on over connectors. Time will show if the top plate get stressed if some of the components won't pop off.
I am not quite sure yet how gimbal control and FC control should be realized with one Rx when it comes to ppm. Traditional shouldn't be a problem. One of your 8 channels from the LRS get used for pitch. Roll isn't really necessary!

Wow, you gotta be kidding! You're absolutely right, zero instructions whatsoever. Am finding I'm having to troll 300 pages of FPVlabs thread for sporadic answers. Not professional at all in my opinion and my customers would crucify me if I gave them 90% at a 100% price. I can understand prioritizing profits over service but don't call me an "early adopter?!?!" because I just happened to press the buy button when you offered your product as ready to go.. arrogant and condescending. Ok end rant... back to trying to slo mo youtube and find a .93 F(*^%&#) allen key

ouch... it was pretty simple to build the parts from the video. riscyd blasts through it and you pause. after the first one they started falling together. my pitch works bitchen. I went down to the desert to catch sunrise with this thing and nailed it. had two killer videos from it then i went to a mountain to fly a zephyr i just built. Something malfunctioned in the zephyr and sent my hero into the ground from 200 feet straight in. it shoved the lens back int eh case, blew out the lcd but the lens aint bad and the stupid thing still films.... however it ate the memory card so no footage from my gimbal
mine powered up and stood steady. i went into the alexmos part and enable ppm, enable ch6 for pitch control and ch5 for profile control. ch8 has to have it's own wire to switch from hero to fpv cam. doesn't work through ppm but everything else was a piece of cake. got 4 built over the weekend
this is that 4s setup i always run with the leopard motors on 4s and 9" props... shes a smoker, but nothing like it will be next week.

i'm on 1.43 ezuhf firmware. for the pro it's ppm out on ch1 and the rest is normal. i used a wire from the ppm and a wire from ch8 go into that frame, ch8 controls which cam your watching, the rest of the rig is on ppm, including gimbal control. you have to solder the pad in teh battery area called gimbal ppm to enable it
those are the 28's, he is going to discontinue them again so if you want some, email and see if he has a deal on em

I'm really after them older discos as well, 3 axis gimbal
View attachment 13312
this was a proof of concept we did, now there like a stock looking deal, just better. molded delrin, coaxiable, lots of options to run from 2212 to 4014 from 8" to 15" props......

That's a serious addiction...
That is a very interesting SBG you have there, tell me more...production???
I've been piecing together a couple DIY gimbals myself with good results but having a tough time getting the COG on my quad in balance since the gimbal is out front so much on the HoverThings FPV. I'm also thinking that the original motors on the quad, NTM 28-26 1200kv's, just ain't got the pop to handle the additional weight. Not sure how big I can go on this frame and I'm still waiting on my Disco Pro to arrive, tracking indicated it's stuck in Singapore, so I'm using an old HoverThings VC-450 modified for now.

Hey Kloner, you running a BEC on the 2.4 1000mw Lawmates or will it take the 4S without letting the smoke out?? Gathering from watching FPV labs thread that anything over 400mw or so should power from one of the Motor?ESC pads and NOT through the core, either the board pads/molex?? Nice row of birds there!

to carry something like the load you got there would take at least 28mm motors like 2814....
SMP, i've always ran the 1 watt lawmates off core and never had any problems. you can't loiter on the ground. . we noticed though it was having problems yesterday on it's maiden so maybe that's where our problem is. it's not my rig so out of site, out of mind
however, this time i was short and had a plane with the half watt lawmate and honestly other than a little more ground interference, it's killer. alot cheaper. Best place for lawmate right now is hobbyking, $75 1 watt, $35 half watt and there not locked.
Wait till you see our new stomp pads for these. I can't stop
