    Tuning for videography (Tarot tilt, "fluid pan mode")

    How do you have the Tarot wired to the Naza?

    Tuning for videography (Tarot tilt, "fluid pan mode")

    I tried these exact settings (both Naza and Tarot) and still have the same issue. Are you sure there's no dead spot?

    Tuning for videography (Tarot tilt, "fluid pan mode")

    At $150 it's less than half the price of the Zenmuse and as far as I can tell performs just as well as the H3-2D.

    Tuning for videography (Tarot tilt, "fluid pan mode")

    Yes, it was set to 0 to -90, and I've calibrated X1. I've done some more digging (including with an oscilloscope), and here are the problems: 1) Naza's "servo travel limit" creates dead zones rather than scaling to the full range of the controller. So I need to keep F2's limits at the maximums...

    Tuning for videography (Tarot tilt, "fluid pan mode")

    To clarify, I would like the gimbal to range from 0 to -90 degrees. After some more investigation, I think part of the problem is there's a little bit of play in the lever, but I'm also unable to get the full range of the level mapped to 0 to -90 degrees using any combination of Tarot and Naza...

    Tuning for videography (Tarot tilt, "fluid pan mode")

    I've installed a Tarot T-2D gimbal on my Phantom 1.1.1, and it's great, but I'm still not happy with a few aspects of using it for videography, in particular the Phantom's yaw control sensitivity, and the gimbal tilt control. I have the Tarot's tilt control hooked up to Naza's F2 port, and...

    Bag/Backpack for Phantom

    The carrier thing I posted (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/63 ... h?ref=live) does fit with prop guards installed.

    Waterproofing with Corrosion-X / where is the barometer?

    Ok, I disassembled the Naza, thoroughly wiped it down, and it appears to be back to normal. I guess some Corrosion-X formed a seal in the Naza case or something. I'm surprised there's no vent holes or anything. Glad I didn't need to buy another $260 Naza. Of course since everything except the...

    idea for flotation landing gear

    I've seen a number of techniques. This sounds similar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAfEh8VeluY My favorite (pros: easy to add/remove, wide floats = stable, cons: in view of GoPro, affected by wind): http://phantompilots.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2745 Also...

    Waterproofing with Corrosion-X / where is the barometer?

    Uh oh. I went ahead and submersed everything except the Naza in Corrosion-X, at least I thought I avoided the Naza but some might have gotten on it. Now the Phantom doesn't maintain altitude very well :( I've only tried ATTI mode since I'm indoors, but sometimes it hovers for awhile then...

    Bag/Backpack for Phantom

    I really like this prop protector/backpack carrier: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/63 ... h?ref=live I got one from the guy on eBay. It looks like the Kickstarter won't succeed but he's shipping now on eBay.

    Waterproofing with Corrosion-X / where is the barometer?

    I've read a bit about waterproofing RC vehicles with Corrosion-X. I don't intend to land in water, but just in case, I'd like to waterproof my Phantom as much as possible. People on other forums have said you can literally submerse almost every component (motors, ESCs, radio, etc) into...
