    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    No jello issues on mine. Check yours carefully for anything binding, wires, etc, particularly the tilt servo wire that could get bound up and transfer vibration past the dampers.

    Mine left Chicago on a Sat and appeared in Coppell (DFW) on Tuesday at 2:34 am before being delivered 3:12 pm the same day up in N. TX. I think Chicago is customs.

    Without a doubt it's an excellent product, and superior to most of it's competitors. Unfortunately the history books are full of companies that have had products superior to anything else in the market yet failed due to poor business practices. I hope RP doesn't follow in their footsteps. As for...

    Unfortunately it appears the RP may have bought into the idea that garbage, spamming, data mining, privacy invading sites like Facebook are an appropriate way to communicate with their customers. News to the business world: Most people do not use "social media" junk sites like Facebook. While...

    To everyone installing the RP or any other gimbal, please remember to follow your normal pre-flight checklist i.e. compass calibration away from metal objects, checking battery contacts, prop tightness, etc. after installing your gimbal. Haste and skipped steps can lead to crashes with or...

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    The crash / flyaway reports make me think someone needs to build a kill switch / rocket deployed parachute for these crafts. Something like an emergency button transmitter you stick to your control transmitter and if something bad starts happening you press the button to immediately kill power...

    The bums! Presumably that won't stop FedEx for those who chose faster shipping. Good thing my Canada Post / USPS shipment arrived last week.

    It is even easier for a business owner to update a status message on their own web site. There is no need for any silly blogs or the like and no need to maintain a long history of status updates as past ones are irrelevent. A simple text status message on the RP home page would take about 2...

    I would think he is also trying to get product into the hands of dealers as well.

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    After I installed my RP gimbal I did a test flight where I thrashed the P2V side to side and front to back full stick and the video from that is absolutely stable despite the P2V banking near 45 degrees. Fullt throttle forward tilted it enough to get pros in the shot, yet the video is still...

    I've only had my RP gimbal installed since Tues afternoon, but the two batteries worth of test flight didn't seem to show any noticeable (at least to me) degredation of flight performance. I thrashed the P2V with agressive side to side and front to back moves, causing it to bank dang near 45...

    I believe the last I saw report of was 2456, so you're 699 behind that. I'd hope that puts you at 7 weeks or less to shipment. You'll love the gimbal, and given the design I expect it will not take long for RP to have the 3rd axis upgrade ready as it should fit right between the current mount...

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    My gimbal arrived Tuesday, took about 30 min to install and is working perfectly. When test flying it Tuesday afternoon the winds were light ~5 mph and the video shows little if any yaw twitch.

    What's so hostile about someone wanting their money back after 3 months and no product? It was exactly 8 weeks this Monday from the opening of pre-orders on Feb 10th.
