Pull_Up said:RCRookie said:These water crashes are horrible to imagine...And I have been flying 'a lot' over water since I got my Vision. Its a fair statement that I read once, as I was considering buying a DJI Phantom. "If you own one of these, you will crash one of these". No truer words could be spoken.
With that said. Here is my first video with a Rotorpixel gimbal. This was out of the box installed as per instructions with no adjustments or tuning. No editing of the video other than content removal and splices.
I did watch a couple of installation videos first, and Pull_Up's informative clips on balancing the camera and tightness of the dampener thumbscrews. Also, I thank all the contributors to this thread, who have posted information, videos and tutorials , without which this would be much more difficult to get right.
In the video, I managed to highlight my poor skills, Vision feet, some props, some jello, ...but, (knock on wood), I didn't take a bath my first flight out!

That was a satisfactorily still horizon line, wasn't it? Just a little tuning to do and you'll be perfect. Aw I got all nostalgic and had to watch my first Rotorpixel vid again...

Nice video Rookie! Beautiful part of the country... Wherever that is. I can't wait to get mine! I know you've been anxiously waiting a while for yours, glad you got it. I did notice that the horizon looked a little crooked around 1:25. I have this same issue without the gimbal in a lot of my still photos. I rarely even bother with video since it's so shaky. Does anyone have an explanation for this? Googling "crooked phantom vison camera" didn't yield any results lol.

RCRookie said:<Snip!>Yes...I noticed the gimbal was slow to straighten when I rolled and yawed left....I'll have to investigate the wiring, I suspect the power cable got caught on the cradle thumbscrew...As I noticed this same situation later while holding the Vision.

I really do not appreciate that you post a fake fly away in my Rotorpixel thread .
We prefer to discuss the Rotorpixel gimbal here.
Thank you.

gpauk said:So -- this may be the wrong place but, apologies Geert, but Dewey, as you are here briefly -- is there a thread about all the new admin / mods? Be interesting to know more about the site "gods", who they are, and why they are mods, etc.....
