Battery types
Use encoders and your motors will not overheat

Battery types
The gimbals I build support 20lbs at 75mph, so a DSLR is not hefty by comparison. I always encourage using the largest battery you can support for the reasons I stated above. However, for a handheld rig this can be a problem because of operator fat…

who makes motors bigger than the ones Freefly MoviXL have
Too many spelling errors to even understand you. 24V is not higher voltage than any of the other boards manufactured by BaseCam.

Oran, you are terrible. 1) That is NOT a genuine BaseCam product. It is produced by ElitePower in China and they are not a licensed partner listed on the BaseCam website. https://www.basecamelectronics.com/wheretobuy/ 2) you said "High Voltag…

Using a higher voltage battery will allow you to keep your PID values lower because there is more available torque from your motor

AOPEN, all of the latest revision of BaseCam boards operate at or above 24V. So what "High Voltage" are you talking about?

It's a simple calculation. Motors with a winding resistance around 17.8ohms work great with SimpleBGC 32-bit Extended with motor outputs of 1.5A, but will not fully utilize boards like BaseCam Pro with 8A motor outputs. Obviously, for more torq…

Tenesor, I have experience with large motors for cinema payloads. However, the Freefly Movi XL motors are truly MASSIVE.

Misalignment correction
Bjorn, I believe what Aleksey is trying to say is that only the motor nearest camera (usually tilt) should be moved during calibration. Yaw and roll should be mechanically locked (try using tape) during calibration, and only the tilt/pitch motor sho…

GBM6212H-150T vs PM6010
To the OP, we need to know more about your project to help you size the motors. Can you describe the largest camera package that you intend to use? Oran (AOPEN) likes to just recommend parts from his website without really understanding your project…

where to get some decent frame kits, without electronics?
To the OP, go to http://www.famoushobby.com/Wholesale-Discount-brushless-gimbal_c318.html and contact them directly about your needs. This is all the Oran (AOPEN) does and charges a hefty premium for acting as the middle man between you and Famousho…

IMU Placement
Benkovy, the ideal placement for the IMU is at the intersection of all the axes on the same piece that the camera is attached to. I have found that the most critical axis to try to align with is the YAW. That is, I try to position the IMU directly i…

BaseCam Pro and Motor drive gear reduction accuracy?
Will, I am using the GBM110 motor + encoder in a similar situation (Extended board, not Pro board). Currently, with a Canon C100 and Sigma 18-35 I am only able to achieve about 55mph on an automotive application. Where did you find the custom motors…

I will ask my questions again... How can I check if the encoder (AS5048) is linear? Can you use a flight controller to get rid of horizon drift with encoder? Or a Frame IMU?

YAW axis sloppy with encoders
Garug, thank you for your response. The encoder setup was purchased from AOPEN3434 with CNC machined housings for the encoder. How can I check if the encoder (AS5048) is linear? There is no mechanical problem, everything is balanced properly, and f…

Yes YAW is balanced. Motors are not getting hot.
