LeViteZer Gimbal test videos.
Hi Garug, Loving your videos, great work. Can I ask what time line and compression settings you use to output to youtube from FCP? I am having problems producing quality web ready content from FCP. A friend has advised I go to Premiere (I used Prem…

Shake effect: a problem with my 3-axis brushless gimbal
If your vibration is mostly under power, ie. wind or acceleration then you may need to look at your motor and prop balance, I use an iPhone vibration app with the phone strapped to each arm then run up the motor and balance. Ensure the machine is se…

Upgraded firmware new problem locked up board
I think I may have discovered the problem, I took things slowly back to basics, disconnected everything. On removing the joystick connections and powering back on all came good and it no longer locks up. I believe it may be due to the existing (old)…

Gimbal goes crazy with altitude?
The only thing that is changing is the air pressure. Now the inertial measurement is solid state but is a physical IC with nano size sensors which are detecting movement and the resultant capacitive change provides the feedback to the system. If the…

Motors won't power on unless USB connected
The regulator is about 5mm square with three legs, the one in the middle will be cut off short and not connected, put your meter across the two outside legs. I will take a guess that the regulator may be ok but one of the tantalum capacitors is bad,…

Firmware upload not possible
From the link you provided to that product the below statement is very suspect " The software version and setting of the control board is default, we will suggest you do not connect to PC at the beginning, you may check if the performance after…

My card does not work anymore
Looks like I've blown my board too! Only red light and nothing else, steady green on 3rd axis board. Typically, we have a shoot next week and it's Chinese New Year so I'm stuffed! Will order a new one from RCTimer. I'll try and …

Mine sometimes takes a while to engage the motor output, especially the yaw motor, I occasionally have to power down then on again. But it always works.

I just plugged in the yaw board and connect to the yaw motor output on the main board, no problems so far.

As a last resort get a heat gun and very carefully apply heat to the board, on and off, this can resolve a dry joint even though the heat is not enough to melt the solder. You can also try this whilst the board is running (risky) and if you see a ch…

Board type and info for joystick
Got the joystick working perfectly, very smooth, board is great, no problems and balance is good. Very happy with the whole setup. Got a big convention to film soon so look forward to giving the footage to my editor at Pebble Coast Films

Yep, that's the one. Haven't seen much info on it. The photo at the bottom of the page is a different board to the one in the top photo.

Board type and info for joystick
I got mine through RCTimer with the Legacy gimbal. I'm pretty sure it's just a different layout, the 3rd axis is still 'separate' but the motor connection is on the main board and the piggy back board just plugs in to the pin con…

4 axis hand held gimbal
To understand the motions involved and therefore absorb, counteract or just deal with them we can simply use Newton and a few other principles, a person walking for example is not simply 'bouncing', the kinetic energy of the camera is havi…

I definitely have the board with the 3 motor connections on the main board however I still need the piggy back 3rd axis board which simply connects through onto the yaw motor connection.

GUI blue arrow on yaw graphic turning
Ok, that seems to have stopped for now, but it will come back. Now I have a continuous very very slow yaw rotation clockwise. The compass does not move. Again I don't think it will affect the actual use of the rig as it is such a slow turn. May…

High sound on my alex moss board.
It would have been the 8khz update rate setting. Set to 32khz(high silent) and it stops?

Yaw control not holding on handheld gimbal
Thanks Vandepoel, yaw now balanced. Which also relieves my worry about the current draw of the motor through my slip ring wires which are very thin, this will free up wires for joystick use (still can't get the correct drawing for this, all inf…

Yaw control not holding on handheld gimbal
I have spotted an error in my build, the tube from the yaw motor was not correctly positioned and was out of balance, I will make adjustments and I think it should solve the problem..

Yaw control not holding on handheld gimbal
Thanks. I have had comments from other forums where people have said that the yaw will hold, but i'm not sure about this, as you say there is a lot of weight with a 5D hanging, so when you tilt the whole rig over the arm/levarage (moment) creat…

Check your motor cables, I had a similar symptom and my roll motor was not connected properly. Just a thought!
