Multicopter-Gimbal for Sony FDR-X300

Derpzerg

Hi,

i want to build a gimbal for a Sony FDR-X3000 for use on a hexacopter. I thougt of getting 3x GB2208 T_Motors and the SimpleBGC 32-bit Extended with 2 IMUs and CAN-Bus. I'm not sure if this is a good decision. The camera weighs around 120g. Any suggestions?

Derpzerg

So, noone has any suggestions?

you may want to try encoder motors you will only need 1 IMU!

Derpzerg

Thanks,
any motors you can recommend? I dont seem to be able to find motors of the correct size :/. I found those, but they are a bit to large:

Which controllerboard do I need to use encoders? I do want to use 6S-LiPos in the future, ao I guess the SimpleBGC 32bit Regular I2C Revision B would be good, or the upcoming 32bit-Tiny Revision B, but that's not available yet.

PM2804 to PM4108 that motor will work for you ! we carry tiny pro for 150 or you can get the combo kit

Thanks, i'll look around 2804-motors, as the motors should be as small as possible, don't have a lot of space to work with. Is there a way to see if the motors have encoders?

AOPEN3434

here is the smallest on the market with encoder

Thanks, those will work with

?
Can I use SimpleBGC 32-bit v3.x GUI with that controller? What about 6S-batteries?

AOPEN3434

yes! it is a BGC controller with latest alexmos firmware ! but that motor can also come with it's own controller built in so if you need small pkg this is best choice ! or just regular motor with encoder, but has no encoder cover!

Derpzerg

Which are the motors with encoder cover? Are those motors available with cover and without controller, too?

AOPEN3434

new models all have encoders! the smallest gopro motors do not have encoder covers ! most applications for small BGC motors encoder cover is not needed because you will have issues mounting the motor with cover! all other lager motors come with encoder cover

Derpzerg

Thanks,
I think I'll get these motors then:
http://mymobilemms.com/OFFTHEGRIDWATER.CA/WHolesale/GB2804EN-BGC-Motors-With-AS5048A-Encoder-Build-Inside
but I'm a little confused.
First: Where are the poles of the motors, I can't see them in the pictures. Do the motors work without poles? Do I have to get them seperatly?
Second: The "drive board with encoder AS5048A & BGC board SUPPORT basecamelectronics" doesn't replace a SimpleBGC-controller, right?
Third: Do I have to solder anything? Or can I just plug in the cabels? What cabels do I need?

AOPEN3434

Yes you my need to solder but setup is plug and play stack!
like I was saying you can get gopro motor with BGC controller & encoder installed or just the motor with encoder! if your not an expert recomend just the motor & encoder.
yes BGC controller are sold seperatly. you need to order 3 motors with encoder , bgc sold seperatly from BGC version! !

Derpzerg

Thanks for your help, I found a few motors that would fit, just have to decide now, which to buy.

Derpzerg

I have one last question. Is an instruction-manual included with these motors?

AOPEN3434

No! only dimensions drawings for motor!

AOPEN3434

only documentation is for the encoder not motor!

Derpzerg

Thanks. Do you know where I can get instructions from how to wire everything up, then? This is the first gimbal I'm building, afterall.

AOPEN3434

Manuals on basecamelectronics.com

Derpzerg

Thank you, no idea how I missed that. :D

Maybe you can look this:

this is Ipower motor 2804 MOTOR with encorders: http://www.iflight-rc.com/ipower-gbm2804h-100t-gimbal-motor-with-as5048a-encoder-compatible-with-slipring-567.html
and this is encorder motor with 32 bit BGC

Howdy, Stranger!
