Got my Phantom an hour ago, and returned from my very first test flight a moment ago. It was exhilarating! And then it began raining, so I ran inside. I'll install Hero3 next, although only on the DJI cage; my Arris should arrive next week.
ARRIS CM2000 Brushless Gimbal for GoPro
- Thread starter Gizmo3000
- Start date
Note to self: for your 2nd test flight, don't go out into very windy conditions - especially when you have a total flight time of 2 minutes under your belt. You'll end up messing up the controls, panicking and flying the copter at your butt. Owwwwch!
Oh, and I broke a carbon fiber propeller, too. Dammit.

What setting are that? is there a check box or something for smooth pitch control? I goes smooth just all the way no half way.
in my mind if you turned it a little it would angle a little. But is this not the case?
Guys, may I pick your brains for a bit? In anticipitation for the ARRIS, I'm thinking about ordering a new transmitter and receiver for the Phantom. Would the following items work on the Phantom and would they let me control both pitch and roll on the gimbal?
Turnigy 9XR (no module version)
OrangeRX DSMX/DSM2 2.4Ghz Transmitter Module (JR/Turnigy compatible)
OrangeRx R910 Spektrum DSM2 9Ch 2.4Ghz TwinPort Receiver
Thanks!

Woah, the NAZA should have nothing to do with smoothing pitch control..
all controls should be done thru the Arris software.
under pitch, try checking the little white box to make it grey, then you can control the pitch proportionally and it will never drift. in that same section to the left you can control the speed. (read up about it in the manuals)
What has the average ship time been with these units? I ordered mine 4 days ago and haven't heard a single word from Hobby wing.

as it's popularity has grown, so had the wait time..
at this point, it's taking them about 10-14 to ship them out, then it'll take an additional 5-6 days to reach you.
Yeah it took all but three weeks to get here.Gizmo3000 said:
She finally arrived today, but there are some issues.
How do I know if I have the V3?
Does anyone know why the driver wont install on my pc, from the disc?
I'm having trouble with the gimbal rolling clockwise slowly, and I want to hook up the gimbal to my pc to see if I can adjust anything to make it better.

If it looks like this in back, (see how the rear motor has a circular looking mount?) then you've got the V3
not sure why you can't get the driver to work, but heard some people have had troubles doing it with Windows8
did you connect the Roll wires up? if so, that might explain the slow rolling that's occuring.

ARRIS CM2000 Brushless Gimbal for GoPro Day and. Night test
Hello,
Here is my first full test of Arris CM2000 Gimbal. Tested with gusts, windy day, fast descents (no wooble), climbs, yaws, at day and night. Real Plug and Play. I'm very impressed. Already using 7th channel with stock TX. Total weight: 1160 gr. Raw video (no stabilization):

I got it after about 5 straight hours of messing around with balance, drivers, software, PID settings. I really contemplated putting it up for sale on the forums and getting the Zenmuse. The raw footage is pretty sweet. Oh and it is the V3.
I'm thinking I'm gonna have to buy one of these, they look to be the goods, and with the cost and extras needed for the ZM, $300 doesn't seem so bad!

yah,. it can definitely be a bit frustrating dealing with the settings if things aren't dialed in just right.
But once you get it working, it's really the best you can get for $300
My ARRIS is stuck at the customs. So close I can practically taste it 
Have to pay some VAT and import tax, but I should have it in my hands next Wednesday. Meanwhile I've already begun to look into much larger multicopters, ones that can lift several kilograms
