Only tilts 45° to 90°

j53113 · Mar 15, 2015

Once slub again I'm new. And I have updated all systems. The gimbal only tilts to 45° at it's highest position. Should I do a reset and reinstall the update?

This is the camera it it's forward most position

Calibrate in the RC assistant first. Then boot up the phantom assistant software and calibrate there.

Make sure you calibrate X1 for both.

Did that still nothing. Looking at the gimbal settings the tilt control is only at -30 to +30. And it's grayed out so I cannot change it

Stay on that page.
Try and manually key in Gains = 5, Vertical = 0 and Horizontal = 0.

Also, do you know if the phantom app is talking the phantom? Is the windows drivers installed? Can you see the control sticks move in the phantom assist?

Do you have selected the upgrade version of the Tx within the software in stead of the orginional/basic version Tx?

j53113 · Mar 15, 2015

Yes the drivers are working properly. When I first tried to install the drivers (Friday) I wasn't getting a handshake but was able to get it to work. And yes the upgraded version is selected. I'll try the gains next

I cannot adjust the gains in the gimbal do some reason. They are grayed out.

Can you see the gimbal firmware in the phantom assist?
Could it be that yours is GCU (Gimbal Control Unit) version and not the dedicated phantom 2 version?

j53113 · Mar 15, 2015

The box it came in said for phantom 2 only. Got it from B&H

Mako79 · Mar 15, 2015

Definitely something wrong. Its missing the sliders to nominate gains/ver/horizontal and the FPV check box is missing.
Never [edit] seen it before..

Can you redownload H33D firmware and update again?

Last resort is to force reset the firmware with tweezers.

j53113 · Mar 15, 2015

I'm going to contact b&h before I start resetting things

j53113 · Mar 18, 2015

Well I did the reset and no changes

It's in Phantom Mode, do you need to put it in Naza-M mode for this to work?

j53113 · Mar 19, 2015

I Thought Naza was for ATTI

loganboyd · Mar 19, 2015

Did you try Naza mode??

My question is regarding the settings for the vertical & horizontal limits, and tilt control I've found some information on the tilt, but none on the vertical and horizontal limits and what the changes do. Is there any information on these? Thanks.

They limit on the movement on how much it looks down and how much it looks up.

That's strange, when I did mine 2 weeks ago, I just typed in "0" (zero for both). But that Gimbal screen looks different. Did you calibrate with the RC assist ( or whatever you use for the transmitter)? Only other thing was I remember I had the choice to select the older RC or the newer one. Did you select the correct one?
