what can I do to make my gimbal more wind resistant?
So today I finally got an opportunity to test in flight. I have to say I'm very impressed with 2.56 FW performance. Although auto PID tuning seems not to work almost at all, after 10 - 15 min of manual work I was done with basic tuning. My firs…

OK .. With your help Garug I finally figured this out, although the root cause was so silly, it's even shame to talk about it. Anyway, it turned out that my both axes Pitch and Roll had wrong INVERT setup. Every time I moved to 2.5x versions …

No no. Whole set (airframe and the gimbal) are placed on a special holder to allow free Yaw movement. Actually on the video above Yaw was completely disabled. Strange thing is that only Pitch seems to behave like this. Although I have newer got to t…

Actually I'm now running 2.55 GUI and 2.56 FW - I guess it should be OK. Tomorrow I will again try to run 2.43 to see whether it's still fine. Will keep you posted

Thanks a lot Garug. As always light speed reply from you - appreciate. Actually you made me think on free movement while powered. It turned out pitch was a bit tight. I fixed it and double checked balance and it's perfect now. Went again throu…

Hello Garug, Ok .. I have erased the EEPROM and installed 2.55 GUI then upgraded the firmware to 2.56 ... after both IMUs calibration I tried to auto tune PID values but again I have failed. The video below shows how the gimbal behaves. https://yo…

what can I do to make my gimbal more wind resistant?
Well after multiple attempts on 2.50 GUI and 2.5 firmware I couldn't get stable behavior. When the gimbal was leveled everything seemed to be fine but when I tried to move it around to test pitch it turned out the gimbal (pitch to be more speci…

hmmm ... one thought just came to my mind .. I have used magnetic screwdriver to install the camera IMU plate back to gimbal. Could that destroy the calibration?

I don't really understand why screwing the IMU back could destroy the calibration? Anyway it shouldn't be an issue in my case. I use two sided tape for frame IMU and same for camera IMU. Actually the camera IMU is attached to a plate whic…

one question. How important is precision of 6 point IMU calibration? Today I was trying 2.5 GUI and firmware (previous 2.43 version was working fine for me). I went through 6 point temperature calibration and I have to say the results are much wors…

I have already stiffer vibration dampening and it seems to be better already. Previously when I was panning the camera up or down almost every time I released a joystick command, the camera was getting a bit of jerk while trying to slow down. Now wh…

unfortunately putting encoders on my gimbal will not be that easy as I initially thought. Yaw will cause a problem because of complicated mechanical build. I will need couple of days to figure this out.

ok ... initial investigation done ;) ... I think I will go with AS5048A. I could attach magnets directly to the motors and then print some 3D holders for sensor which could be attached to the gimbal arms ... I have never tried encoders but form what…

Yes this is exactly the setup I have. I guess you might be right about the landing gear attached to vibration dampers. Need to test it somehow. Maybe I will attach small mobile with accelerometer to the gimbal and try to log shaking move while flyin…

Thanks a lot Garug, as always valuable piece of information from you. The gimbal is quite compact I would say (some pictures already included above) but the second point took my whole attention. Have you tested encoders on your gimbals? Is it reall…

what can I do to make my gimbal more wind resistant?
while moving by hand I cant feel any resistance. everything seems to be absolutely OK. What I have noticed though is that when I knocking the roll gage I can easily take it out of balance - much easier than in pitch or yaw case were I need to use a …

what can I do to make my gimbal more wind resistant?
yes, I know but can rotating landing gear (I guess we speak about yaw motion) affect the roll? If this is the case what would be the best idea to at least try to clean such relation up? From my observation yaw seems to be rock solid ad the only iss…

3 axis Gimbal with legs and no follow mode for multirotor
Hi Darekbo ... It seems that the only solution for the moment would be to set motor ON/OFF on your transmiter and simply disable motors before the takeoff and then switch them back ON ... It works for me ... hopefully it will work for you

Basecam 32 (Alexmos 32). Too weak motors?
Finally I had a time and no rain weather to test perfectly balanced gimbal and the second IMU moved below YAW. I have to say that Garug's suggestions brought significant improvement. MANY THANKS FOR THAT. No obvious issues at all. Below I'…

Bluetooth connection 32bit HC06 doesn't connect from GUI
Hi guys, did you manage to make it work with mobile GUI? I'm facing same issue you do with HC-06. In my case mobile application is stopping while trying to connect to BT device.

Basecam 32 (Alexmos 32). Too weak motors?
Yep. It turned out that roll axis was loose a bit (one screw was not tightened enough) .. now everything is perfectly balanced (pitch, roll and yaw stays always where I put them) Now I need to move second IMU below the YAW + shorter these long IMU c…

Basecam 32 (Alexmos 32). Too weak motors?
There is one thing that bothers me if it comes to YAW balancing ... while rotating the yaw (copter tilted 90 degree) gimbal will never stay in one position as the roll (mostly) and pitch motors moves and therefore center of balance will move as well…

Basecam 32 (Alexmos 32). Too weak motors?
@Garug .. to be honest I was quite sure my YAW is balanced quite well. I followed lot's of "tutorial" videos out there and balanced my YAW up to 45 degrees only. Today I have checked how does it behave when I tilt it 90 degree and it…

Hi Garug, Many thanks for your comments. I wasn't really aware of the challenges around RLG. I thought it will be kind of "additional safety level" for the camera and the gimbal itself in case of potential crash. If it comes to t…

Hello limon, Garug I'm currently facing pretty much same issue. My gimbal seems to be fine on the ground and indoor, however while flying it attached to the copter it seems to lacking power in roll (BLDC 5010) and yaw (GBM5208 024-)200T motors…
