7 weeks and 2 days here. Also emailed with no response. Hoping to receive it sometime this week or next. When I ordered it I think I remember reading that it was a 6-8 week wait.
Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision
- Thread starter Shrimpfarmer
- Start date
Yes,...please post your queue and shipping dates/numbers. We all hope Keri can get caught up and maybe explore the viability of a "yaw axis upgrade" to the RP.
I know that I personally am interested in this, as I'm sure there are others.
Also, am very happy overall, with the performance and aesthetics of this gimbal.
Thanks

Thank you for the information Simon, very much appreciated! Do you mind me asking how much you paid for duty?
Convert from dollars to £, then add 20% VAT and 6% Import Duty plus an admin fee from Parcelforce of either £8 or £13 depending on shipping priority.
That's all from memory as I don't have it in front of me. Actual amounts will vary depending on exchange rate and what duty band the Customs admin put it in. One chap got it with no charges at all - it didn't get caught by Customs so he got a 26% discount on what he was expecting...

I was 658 and it arrived in the UK 15th May, the Canadapost site then shows it mysteriously arrived AGAIN in the UK on 19th both at heathrow clearing which is BGLALA and the shipping number doesnt work on parcelforce yet

You need to balance your gimbal!

Re: Rotorpixel shipping notice...
So... what should I expect here? Order Number: #1402073148 (placed on April 16, 2014 12:49PM EDT.)
If "658" really shipped two weeks ago... is that "2658" ending numbers? Meaning, I just need them to make 490 more? Do we know the queue really counts like that?
Really sad customer service that we turn to ourselves to conjure up answers about their own product.
Meanwhile, I'll start flying the Vision+ that arrived yesterday and hope the random crashes reported are random...

It'll do that for a few seconds as it levels itself when the P2V is first powered on. If it lasts longer than that, then something is not right. Look for a wire or something else catching.

thx for your input.. I did all the balancing. So thats not the problem. So must be a wire or something, but everything looks fine

Guys, with the Rotorpixel installed and descent rate limited by the new firmware, what is your technique to engage full possible descent speed knowing when the throttle stick is full down it may turn the motors off?
Thanks
Robert
Thanks
Robert
It's been noted in other threads that the motors won't turn off with full down left stick unless the phantom detects it is no longer descending.

Yes.. I think so. But i cant see any wires that are not in place or something. Maybe the motor is broken? If u guys want to see a video to make it clear i can make 1

Ja idd. ik heb zelfs alles los gehaald.. kabels bekeken maar die doen het gewoon goed. het ziet er ook naar uit dat het achterste motortje al een keer eerder ergens voor is gebruikt. Ik stuur alles terug :?
English: i checked all the cables but seems fine. Must be something else then.. And the motor in the back seems to be used.. all kind of scratches on it. I'm gonna send it all back and email Keri and i hope i'll get a response.. damnit! Must be a long wait again!
For those in UK waiting for their gimbal, I have a card through my door for £50 ffs !!!!!! :evil:
Would be cheaper for me to use the bloody thing to traffic in drugs !!!!.......its obvious **** Turpin would have been able to hold down a steady job in HM Customs !
