Re: Goodluckbuy gimbal *this thing is crap. dont waste your Mine arrived today. Don't know if I'm happy or sad...... Anyhow, I fiddled with it a little at work, and the construction seems solid. I can't flex any of the material that is made of carbon fiber. Seems solid as it it possibly...

Re: Goodluckbuy gimbal *this thing is crap. dont waste your Noel, Do you think it's merely a flex issue with the camera mounting arm? If that is the case, I wonder if a 3D printed mount from the P2V gimbal on thingiverse would resolve the issue?

Re: Goodluckbuy gimbal *this thing is crap. dont waste your Noel, Thanks for your report. I'm bummed out, on the results, but I do like a challenge. Apparently I'll have a good one soon, when mine arrives in the mail later this week. My plan of attack: 1. Power the gimbal directly at...

Re: Goodluckbuy gimbal *this thing is crap. dont waste your Noel, No pressure but I sure hope you have some good luck with your gimbal when you do finally get some flight time in, as mine is due to arrive in a few days. Q: Did you balance the load on each of the axis? I plan to balance them...

Re: Goodluckbuy gimbal *this thing is crap. dont waste your This is an interesting thread, I ordered what seems to be the same gimbal from here, waiting on it's arrival: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261440847927?ss ... 1439.l2649

The map I posted from the email response sent from the tagg query is a "Bing" map. You can see that in one of the photos I posted. The satellite imagery used in the phone app, is probably also "Bing" if I were to guess. But I can tell you , the imagery from both Bing & Google both look darn...

On page #10 in this discussion topic you will see a posting from me with three photos, two of which are with the "TAGG" device attached to the P2V. It hardly weighs anything. I think it was something like 1.17 grams.

Weather has not been good for flying around here, but I had to play with the "TAGG" unit. So I took it out for a drive and went from the city, to several places out in the sticks, well out of my typical flying area by a large radius. So far I'm plenty happy with it, the messages I get via...

Re: Preventative Maintenance checklists Take it in to an auto parts store, like O'reily's or Autozone - They should have some removal bits (almost like a reverse cut drill bit) that will cut/grab into the stripped indention of the screw in question and get it out. I've heard locktite is bad...

I have my "Tagg" device installed on my P2V. It's all of 1.17oz and mounts up under the battery bay very easily with velcro. Came with three months free service, $7.95 after that, or under $7 if you pay a year in advance. You can stop/start the service without penalty, or activation fees, and...

Re: Preventative Maintenance checklists Steve, what would the advantage to varnish be over using blue loctite? I seem to remember seeing a dab of a blue substance on the screws provided with my phantom prop guards when I installed them on the Quad. Also, curious do actual airplanes, put...

Wow, you got that right, did not know the restrictions outside of the US were that strict on range.

Here's a new option coming in the near future. It uses an extended bluetooth range to achieve around 2500 ft of tracking range without any monthly service fees. https://www.sticknfind.com/blutracker.aspx

I installed the string and it seems to make the guards a bit stronger/stable. In the center of the guards you will see two sets of what I'd call hooks. I ran the string through the prop guards and on the set of hooks closest to the motors of the aircraft. Once the string was tied off, I...

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for that video. The camera seems to even be quieter now...... :)
