Thinking o trading up tp a vision 2 plus, but this 'looks' to be a cheaper option.

Hello.

Go ahead and order this one also: http://bit.ly/1rJdfVk or this http://bit.ly/1lPIsy8The phantom's jack cable for the camera is too short for the gimbal to function. That being said, the gimbal itself works very fine after doing the calibration. There is a few custom servo cables and some other plugs in the package. I imagine they are for 7th channel and direct power supply from naza-module, but I haven't figured out how to connect those yet.

Anyway a lot of value for the low cost. Please report if you are able to get 7th channel and direct power supply to work before me

Is this gimbal easy to install on the vision (plug and play) or has soldering be done??

I just got my gimbal shipped.

I knew about the problems with jack, but thanks for the tip anyway ; ).

Gonna try to assemble it today and report back to you guys.

I am worried about the channel 7 though, cause the board is different then the other gimbals from goodluckbuy I'v seen tutorials on.

Yes you can use the 7th channel - check here how to -

Well I am almost done. Everything seems to work fine, but I am still waiting for the jack extension.

I have soldered the gimbal to the phantoms board, however the cables were to short so I needed find some extensions for it.

The pitch control seems to only be possible with the Vision app, but I found some information here:

about the possibility to change that with this app:

Can't wait to test it in air.

I'm also still waiting for that 4-pole jack extension. What settings did you use in SimpleBCG software for getting it to work properly? I copied some other peoples settings, but it seems not to work optimal. According to that german who made the 1-hour youtobe video on how to properly set the settings said it would be a bit individual. Mine has some jittering up and down sometimes, and I have not found the appropriate setting to get rid of it yet. Could you please post your settings if you have achieved to make it totally stable?

Edit: A video of the issue:

Best reg.

I also had a problem with pitch, but it looked somewhat different then yours. I am gonna upload my settings later today.

Edit:

So my PID right now is:
ROLL POWER: 120
PITCH POWER: 80
ROLL: P: 12, I: 0.14, D: 20
PITCH: P: 12, I: 0, D: 20

When I set "I" for pitch it overcorrects and I don't understand why. Without "I" though if I push the camera it stays in that position.
