    Storm SD-10 gimbal?

    After downloading the driver I was finally able to use the COM port in the GUI interface. Unfortunately this gimbal has the 2.0 software which sucks apparently. I tried changing the pitch control and re-writing it to the board but it didn't work. Also, I'm pretty sure the board is fried, it...

    Which one should I get.

    Depending on which goggles you go with, you will have to purchase a Tx and an Rx (Transmitter, Receiver). Receiver goes in the goggles, transmitter goes on the phantom. Modular designs such as the Dominators allow you to swap Rx and Tx to different frequencies, although 5.8Ghz is going to be...

    Storm SD-10 gimbal?

    Glad to see how stable that is! And no jello or distortion! Can't wait to actually use mine. Too bad its still cold here. -52 today... It's been like 3 weeks of this s**t. Super depressing :cry:

    Storm SD-10 limits

    Sorry I watched them in the wrong order. The driving range video is great!

    Storm SD-10 limits

    I have yet to get video using mine SD-10 but I did notice in your second video that there was some jello effect still. I'm curious if it is because of the factory props being not perfectly balanced, or because the rubber damper balls for the gimbal are too soft/hard. I have heard that the...

    Fatshark Dominator Tx/Rx

    I've tried searching but either there isn't a lot of info on it, or maybe I suck at searching... I've made up my mind and decided to purchase the Fatshark Dominators for my FPV. I'm not an expert in Tx/Rx but from my understanding I am going to be limited on my options if I buy these...

    Storm SD-10 gimbal?

    Seems odd. I have the V1.1 as well. Last weekend I took it down to my friends house and forgot the factory GoPro mount so we instead used 3M VHB tape and attached a GoPro brand mount to the bottom, making it fairly heavy. Winds were at a steady 20mph that day and I still got 9:30 flight...

    Storm SD-10 gimbal?

    5:30 seems a little low, even with the wind. What else do you have as far as add-ons?

    Adjusting Gains For New Props?

    I've been flying for the last couple weeks with the factory props, but I have now installed the DSLR Pros carbon props. Any tips on Gain adjustments? I also have a gimbal... Not sure in the total weight

    Storm SD-10 gimbal?

    I think they mean to hold the phantom, but I plan on doing my final calibration with the phantom on a table and go from there.

    Storm SD-10 gimbal?

    I finally got around to installing it last night, very simple and easy install. Upon installation I noticed the same issue as seen above in the video. HOWEVER, I determined that for the first several seconds on start-up when the gimbal calibrates, the position of the platform depends on how...

    Storm SD-10 gimbal?

    Got mine in the mail last week, but it's been -30 degrees here until today so I've only had the motivation to install the mounting plate thus far. Here it is un-boxed, I have to say, the build quality is amazing! Feels good in the hands. I will likely upgrade the rubber dampers to stiffer...

    Storm SD-10 gimbal?

    That's really weird. Mine is not here yet, should arrive on Monday or Tuesday it looks like. Crossing my fingers for no issues, but I guess if there is, I will probably turn around and sell it to someone else who wants to deal with it. :lol:

    Already dissatisfied with the Phantom

    I think it came in contact with a powerful magnet at some point during shipping. MOD was only at 300-400. I bought a powerful magnet, did some orbits, got it down to 2200-2400, it calibrated and seems to be fine now. Flies in both GPS and ATTI mode. I put the plastic props back on to do some...
