Stuttering Pans and shaky footage /w Letus Helix
Finally fixed! For records sake, if anyone has a similar setup: I contacted Letus and they told me that the viewfinder making front-left heavy is not a problem. You have to lock down the pan when balancing, unlike other gimbals. Once you balance …

Oh, that's why you thought it was unbalanced. At 0:42, I am pushing it forward with my right Thumb so show you that the handles are balanced... I am pushing it forward and backwards after showing that it does not tilt down or back for a second…

Thanks Garug, I tried lowering the handles it still does the same thing because its front left heavy due to LCD screen, and back heavy due to weights so it will shift like that no matter what unless I remove the viewfinder. I was wondering if yu …

Hmm nothing seemed to work so I tried resetting back to default and downgrading a version (latest non-beta), and did another 6-point calibration then boom... fully level when turned on. Seems to have fixed the problem! Maybe it was a problem with t…

CAME 7800 - Unit constantly beeping (lots of other problems)
Hey Neil, You must be feeling very frustrated, I know exactly what you are going through. Okay, it looks like you have poured oil into an already burning flame. From the first part of your post/video, it looks like an unbalanced gimbal and PID sett…

I see, that's why my gimbal was going all crazy when I suddenly when outside to -5 C from room temperature. I'll update FW and will try setting gyros in the cold today, hopefully it works out! Thank you so much for your detailed respons…

@Garug Oh! So I don't need to do the ACC calibration for the temperature change? Okay, so just keep the gyro calibration assigned on the button and do it on the fly. One thing I noticed was that it doesn't say which IMU you are calibratin…

@Garug One question for future reference. I live in Canada and we have very cold temperatures. My Gimbal started freaking out and going all jittery when I took it out in the cold. After increasing power and calibrating ACC and Gyro on both camera an…

@Garug IT WORKED! Thank you SO MUCH! All I did was make 100% sure that my frame was completely leveled horizontally, then calibrated ACC and Gyro on both camera and frame IMU, then finally set follow offset to auto, and the result was all 0 on the …

@Garug Hi, I'm having a similar problem, mine is leveled, but when using follow mode and I pan, roll will be slightly slanted. I think It's due to the ACC calibration. Do I have to do the 6 point ACC calibration?? I don't want to take…
