    Again Thanks Mako! Yes the h3d3 imu is 1.0.0.12. Right now the gimbal turns on and just faces front or flat down. No response from dial. http://youtu.be/oKyDH12B2uQ I'm thinking the issue could be a hardware one related to the dial on the remote? In the RC Assistant, all the slides respond...

    Video - Is motor giving up?

    Hi All, I'm assuming that the motor has given up the ghost. When idling the motor (bottom right on the video) keeps stoping for a fraction of a second and then starts again. http://youtu.be/FtvVN5ilWJQ Is this a sign of the motor failing or something else? Assuming is just this motor should...
