    gimbal question - foward/backward not as stable?

    Well I downloaded simpleBGC GUI to see if maybe there was a setting that would fix the original problem, but I messed the settings up royally I think. I ended up "loading defaults" but it seems to have loaded the defaults of the software, not the default settings that shipped with the control...

    gimbal question - foward/backward not as stable?

    Got the cheap gimbal off ebay hooked up. It's a basic aluminum frame with I think the BGC 2.0 or 3.0 controller. Horizontally, it works great. Very smooth video when flying sideways, and motor is very fast and anticipates the craft's movement perfectly. The rubber balls also seem to work...

    how to get better range? (pics)

    I got these antennas from Amazon which seem to boost my range by about 250 meters over the stock plastic antennas. But not so much when phantom is facing me, then it gets snowy and video goes white. I'm guessing the go pro is blocking the signal when phantom is not facing away from me. Is there...

    cpl filter for hero2?

    Anyone have a hero 2 ? I dont have the funds for the hero3 and was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a polarizer for the hero 2. The only ones I can find are inserts fir the underwater housing, but I won't be using the housing with my gimbal.

    gimbal pitch control port question ???!!

    Thanks yeah I just got one wire hooked up. I actually had the +5v you speak of plugged into the wrong thing on the gimbal board so I'm awaiting a new gimbal board now, mine got fried. It won't turn on now when connected through 12v, only USB power.

    Neighbor yelled at us for flying!

    BE CAREFUL. Police arrested and charged a guy flying a drone with a felony "unlawful surveillance" because he was flying it near a "medical" building in our city. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/ ... e_say.html The police accused him of using it to peer in the windows at medical patients...

    Wedding film shot with the DJI Phantom Vision

    Hello, I am a wedding photographer/cinematographer as well and was thinking about doing this. Questions if you don't mind: 1) How do you feel the noise from the quad affects the guests/bridge/groom? How do you approach that topic before they hire you, and does anyone complain? 2) Do you ever...

    gimbal pitch control port question ???!!

    cheap ebay gimbal, it's like BGC 2.0 board or something. pins are not marked but I'm assuming the top left pin on the gimbal board is the one I want to hook up to the port on the naza. So it IS F2 and not F1 port??? Darn, now I'm in trouble since I plugged the wire into the F1 port thinking it...
