    Lever Centering

    I measured the ball bearing I used. It was .1245, or 1/8 of an inch diameter. It was removed from an old bearing I had.

    Lever Centering

    I am on a business trip, but can measure the ball when I return, if anyone's interested. And yes, I drilled a small pilot hole thru the lever and the base to assure the center. I wish I read about not doing the gimbal software update, so I didn't need to do this. DJI should offer a patch, so...

    Lever Centering

    I updated the software and selected new controller. Then I added a small ball bearing to the back of my lever, and put a detent in the base. I works perfectly for knowing where the center is, which stops the camera tilt. Lever fix 2 Lever Fix 1

    How to center tilt lever

    Thanks Geert. It seems I did what I should not have done, and upgraded everything. "Do NOT upgrade the zenmuse gimbal to the latest firmware 1.0.0.6... it will make tilt lever "relative" " Any way to undo this?

    How to center tilt lever

    First crash! Bent gimbal arm.

    This is how you fix that. Cut from another great post on this forum by Jeff http://youtu.be/SFxM8OOWRQc http://youtu.be/5iTz3Dd2Ecs Mine took some trial and error to adjust and it's a pain because the only way I could check to see if it was fixed was to turn on the phantom and the...

    First crash! Bent gimbal arm.

    The arm is soft aluminum and can be bent back. You can try two pair of pliers, preferably with one that locks. Careful of the ribbon cable. Does the camera/gimbal still work? After you fix the arm, if it works but is tilted you can search for that fix also.

    Weekend special!

    Could you tell me how much of the still photo frame your design will obstruct, if I don't cut it. Also in what ways do you think it is superior to the design below? Thanks. https://www.shapeways.com/model/2065586 ... erialId=25

    Science/math motor help

    Academic exercise. Anyone know, or know how to figure the fractional horsepower of one Vision+ motor. A friend asked me this, and I don’t have a clue.
