    DYS Smart Gimbal - Default Yaw position

    For my DYS Smart 3 Axis GoPro gimbal mounted to a Phantom 1, I am having an issue with default yaw location and behavior. The gimbal currently responds reasonably to pitch and roll movements, and I have control of pitch via the back lever on my SR6 remote. The issue, is that I cannot get it to...

    DSLR pros / Maytech GoPro Gimbal Installation

    Looks to me like this gimbal is a DYS Smart Gimbal (at least that gives me the most positive results). For others, I found the manual at http://www.life365.eu/public/files/286_ ... EV%202.pdf

    DSLR pros / Maytech GoPro Gimbal Installation

    Powered her up, and she does compensate for movement, but I am concerned about the 3rd axis (rotation left to right)... Holding it in my hand, if I give it a turn to the left or right (without babying it), the camera readjusts its viewing position by 90 degrees (so instead of looking forward it...

    DSLR pros / Maytech GoPro Gimbal Installation

    dslrproswholesale has gotten back to me, that they do not have any instructions, as the manufacturer does not provide instructions... They did elaborate that "Gimbal is controlled by the pins in the back of the Gimbal. RX P controls the pitch. RX R controls the roll"..... So I guess I will need...

    DSLR pros / Maytech GoPro Gimbal Installation

    I have sent two messages to DSLRproswholesale, with no response (have purchased other things in the past from them with good luck and fast shipping) - original presales response from them was that it would include wiring instructions, but not physical mounting instructions (which I can live...

    DSLR pros / Maytech GoPro Gimbal Installation

    Purchased a DSLR Pros / Maytech gimbal off eBay from DSLRproswholesale.. Package arrived, everything well packed, etc, and the product appears to be decent quality, but I can't find any instructions as the wiring of this to my Phantom I, or any indication of the best way to physically mount it...

    Door to battery compartment keeps opening

    White gaffers tape does the trick for me… I have seen an oversize battery hatch offered online, and am considering ordering it.

    Has anybody NOT had a flyaway or some sort of control loss?

    Re: Has anybody NOT had a flyaway or some sort of control lo Although GPS does create a little bit of RF (every device that is on creates a little RF), it is nothing near having the RF from a 2.4ghz transmitter of the GoPro trying to blast it's little hear out to reach an iPhone… I would not...

    Installing a Part 31 Radio -- Getting Flashing Green

    SR6 Controller and single antenna radio showed up today… Went ahead and installed them, and no luck. Transposed the cable, and was able to get communication.. Switched back to trying the two antenna radio, but it wouldn't sync up….. So for now I have reinstalled the one wire receiver, and have a...

    Installing a Part 31 Radio -- Getting Flashing Green

    Well I had hoped to do some additional testing this evening, but my ex was cleaning up my son's stuff, and I think she mixed my batteries in with it… so come tomorrow, I will be able to transpose cables, test, and also verify my binding method.

    Installing a Part 31 Radio -- Getting Flashing Green

    That is correct. I have connected as above and get the same results. When the controller is powered on, I get a green flashing LED, and when off it goes solid red. When I hook up via USB, I see the NAZA, but I don't see any radio response.. I see other things like the gyro registering, and am...

    Installing a Part 31 Radio -- Getting Flashing Green

    Obtained a cable from my local DJI dealer, and same story. I think my next step is to order a SJ6 controller and RX board from DSLR Pro's ebay store (currently $20), and see if that makes it happier…. I am open to other suggestions. Thank you for all of the input.

    Installing a Part 31 Radio -- Getting Flashing Green

    The radio in the pics is the 2 antenna Part 31 2.4ghz antenna … I actually ordered 2, and here is a shot of another one (from DSLR Pro, the other one was fresh out of a DJI Part 31 box)…. So the current radio receiver that is intalled in the pics and the video is a 2 antenna unit...

    RANT: Lastest victim of Phantom 2 Sudden Death/Skyfall

    My day job is home automation …. A quick concept would be for somebody to develop something with its own altimeter and a voltage sensor to the motors… if motors lacked voltage for X seconds, and altimeter exceed 10' movement -> deploy parachute…. We would do this with heavy equipment fairly...
