I'm going to make a new bottom arm from aluminium and give it another go.

There are the setting I received: Camera must be balanced to work. Good Luck BuyerNoël said:I'm going to make a new bottom arm from aluminium and give it another go.

On the bench.... waiting to fly... I superglued the two back camera mounts .... the camera has to be balanced correctly... (1 mount each in the front... 2 mounts each in the rear)tizzl10 said:AllanVB said:There are the setting I received: Camera must be balanced to work.

this is the best I can show you right now. I am doing some other mods and P2V is apart...
The long ones go in the back... short ones in front. make them snug
This is my next project... just waiting for china board and motors. Cost so far... approx. $150... 3 AXIStizzl10 said:AllanVB said:tizzl10 said:did you balance your camera? got it working?

ok i see what you are saying now. looking forward to your flight.

Problem is ( I think ) the whole gimbal is not stiff enough causing it to bounce, causing the P2V to bounce making the gimbal to bounce..... Bench testing was for me fine too, but as soon as it's flying the bouncing starts to happen..

Mine arrived today. Don't know if I'm happy or sad......
Anyhow, I fiddled with it a little at work, and the construction seems solid. I can't flex any of the material that is made of carbon fiber. Seems solid as it it possibly could be. The motor's do look a bit wimpy. I wonder what the KV rating on other gimbals are compared to this one?
The power cable is to thin for my liking, so I'm going to change it out to a heavier gauge wire. That will let it pull all the current it wants, without the voltage dropping under load.
ktbeasley said:I'm with Tizzl10. I gave up after printing out several structural enhancements with no improvement. I think the main problem is the camera arm has too much flex even though it seems pretty stiff. One other thing that doesn't help (and this may be a stretch) is the flat plate the camera mounts too. I think it catches the prop wash and gets pushed down then bounces up and so on. I ended up ditching everything but the top plate that mounts to the dampeners and designed and printed all new mounts. I used the camera holder that is available on Thingaverse (Thanks to whoever designed that, it fits like a glove and with my terrible 3d Cad skills, I would have never been able to draw that). The mounts I designed look rather similar to another popular gimbal. So much so that I have named it the GoodLuck Taco. I have flown it a couple of times and have no bounce and the video is pretty good but still needs some adjustment to the dampeners to fix a bit of jello.
ktbeasley said:Well, I can design and print gimbal parts but I can't seem to figure out how to put pictures on a forum. I guess you can't do that with Google drive. I will shrink the file size and just attach them.
with small change for me, you can also leave your ears. You do not believe?Noël said:Nice but you will need to cut the ears from the camera.
