Hello Community,
I have been reading through your excellent pieces of information and thought I would turn to you for some advice and guidance. I have recently acquired a Phantom 2 with H3-3D Gimbal, an FPV system with 8" monitor and a Futaba T8J to go alongwith it. I also have mini iOSD installed. I have just completed my 4th flight and could use some help :
1) My H3-3D Gimbal while inflight seems to perform ok. When it is on the ground and starts up. It never becomes still. Continously keeps adjusting ever so slightly, tilting slightly to the left and center repeatedly. It also looks like it is not completely off the ground and the gopro is touching the floor, (perhaps the reason). Any thoughts on what may be going on?
2) Is there something you would recommend to stabilize the H3-3D gimbal while its being transported. I plan to travel with this, and I don’t want it to just aimlessly be moving around in the case. Or is that ok?
3) My FPV reception is terrible. There are wavy lines through it (with sprionets attached and tightened) even at a very close range (10-15ft). Further, it becomes grainy and cuts in and out constantly while in flight. Any thoughts?
4) The Futaba didn't come with a mount for the FPV monitor. Could you recommend one?
5) Im thinking of getting one of those multi chargers, since I have three batteries and don't want to babysit them. Are there any concerns with these? Any recommendations perhaps?
6) Is there a way from the Futaba or the mini iOSD for me to tell how much flight battery is left on the Phantom?
7) Is there a config file or some standard configuration for the Futaba that people use. It came pre programmed with the controls, but I see some cool stuff people are doing with trims for smoother panning and coding switches to failsafe and im wondering if there is a general best practices collection.
Thank you so much for reading this. I am thrilled to be a part of your community. Appreciate all the help and guidance I can get.
