My apologies. The v3 profile didn't copy to the server properly. I've since replaced it. If you re-download the v3 profile, it should work. You can confirm it is the new version by looking at MODEL MENU > PROG MIX, mix #2 should be Aux5 and when you flip SF it should show on/off. Everyone else, if you downloaded v3 before, you should re-download it now if you want the forced F/S.

OK, it works fine! Thank you.

Ianwood,

I love your profile. Thank you for your outstanding work helping those of us who are new to Futaba radios to install your profile and get up and running.

You are a god.

Ok, this might work here. But need to test it. Will report back

Ianwood, Have you checked the above video and instructions and tried out his set-up? I can't get it to work. After messaging hsestes, found out that it doesn't work for him either. I like this set-up for the gimbal. I'm thinking it might be in conflict with your profile settings. Any ideas what I can do to get this to work? I tried using different switches because the ones he used were already being used with your profile. Still doesn't work.

The first profile I made used that setup. It was horribly confusing. I suppose you could get used to it but it has no benefit over the current gimbal setup which is much easier to use in my opinion. If you really want to try it, you have to adapt the settings to available channels and switches.

What I like in that profile is the ability to choose between 2 different tilt speeds (could this be added to an unused switch with your set-up?), and the ability to pan non-stop from 0-90 degrees.

For tilt speed, I want to program a knob to get fully variable speed on the smooth tilt. Haven't found a way to do it yet but looking. I found the faster tilt on the setup you mentioned to be too fast to film with. As for a full uninterrupted tilt, the current setup tilts non-stop 0-90 just flip the switch two positions (i.e. skip the middle).

Yeah, I see your point. I'm going to stay with your set-up. One thing I would like to do but haven't been able to figure out is... in my mind, when the camera is up and pointed forward, the RS slider and SB switch should be in their up most positions. When the camera is pointing straight down, the slider and switch should be in their lowest positions. The RS slider and SB switch are opposite that. How can I reverse these two functions?

Re: Setting up the Futaba T8FGS with the P2

Yeah, that should be easy. I'll look at that.

Cool, thanks! I tried to just reverse channel 5 then channel 8 then both. Those combinations didn't work. I mean, the switch function did reverse but the tilt function didn't work the same.

Re: Setting up the Futaba T8FGS with the P2

This guy now has his 8FG Phantom profile out there . Anyone tested it? I may load it and see what it does.

Ok, even after I loaded it and went thru the calibration, my gimbal was jittery. Not sure what was going on there.... Will test it some more tomorrow....

Myself and another guy here tried it. Didn't work. Might not work with Ian Woods profile (which I have). You might want to read back a page or two on this thread. We were just discussing this.
