    Video: Gimbal won't stop shaking

    Yes, I just bought it from B&H, it did seem to be working before. I've only flown it twice, this would have been the third time and when I turned it on the gimbal wouldn't stop shaking like this. Any thoughts?

    Video: Gimbal won't stop shaking

    Hey all, I'm at a loss. I can't figure out why my gimbal is constantly shaking and seemingly trying to calibrate. I've upgraded all firmware and calibrated everything. The video footage is totally unusable. This is what it's doing: Note - I did have the front white dampener out, but I've...

    Video: Gimbal Install - What did I do wrong here?

    I've just installed my gimbal and when it tries to calibrate, this is what happens: http://youtu.be/Re7PUpqGSO8 (37 second video) Seems that it's hitting the plastic pin. Did I install this incorrectly? Thanks for your help.

    My 1st Build - What do you think?

    I was thinking of putting a tile on it... I know it's not as good, and only lasts a year, but I have one not being used and if my unit goes down hopefully I'll see about where it went and can use that to help... it's not perfect, but it's something.. Maybe I'll get that when I learn more and...

    My 1st Build - What do you think?

    Thanks IrishSights, I hear all your points, and know that there's no way I'm going to jump into any BLOS flights for a while, I'm just sharing what I'd like to eventually be able to do and build a rig that will allow me to grow into it... safely. Most of what I'll be doing will all be line...

    My 1st Build - What do you think?

    [Geert can you please move this thread to the correct forum, this is for P2 (non vision) - Thanks] Thanks IrishSights. I'm in the US. That's helpful to know. So is this suggested package overbuilt? I live a somewhat rural area, so I'll have decent line of sight for a while, but yes, more...

    Black Mamba 2000mw

    Anyone use this transmitter with their Phantom 2? I was told by a seller with clear skies you can get a lot more distance. I was looking at his all in one kit: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11051.m4 ... xe,ext=ext and for $60 he would upgrade the tx to the Black Mamba. Any thoughts? Good...
