Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

[Clampit]

Did ya get your gimbal Clampit? went out and tried mine tonight wow what a difference was a bit windy out and no jitters what so ever works real good makes the video so smooth, your gonna love it

Hi squiddley, nope not as yet phoned our mailing service with tracking no & they said that it has been delivered, no it ain't..... Tried our local postal service who put us onto customs, yep they have it so I've got to pay the duty which is about £48, about $60 I was hoping to get away with it no such luck.. Never mind. My better half is going to pick it up torrow.

Soo glad you got yours up in the air & happy with the results, it should be me this weekend weather permitting good old jellloing then? Just need to play around with it, you're get it sorted.

I'll shout you guys tomorrow when I have it in my hands, can't wait...

Hey Dirkclod what do you usually do with your batteries, what Ive been doing with mine is I charge them up then go fly and if I fly them down fairly low I charge them up till roughly 2 bars on the battery showing and put them away till next time not sure if this is the right way or not what do you do

I fly almost everyday and when I come in as I fly behind my house I just let them cool down and then fill them up .
I keep 3 fully charged all the time .
I wouldn't if I was not going to fly for awhile but that's never the case unless me be broke down .

okay so what would you do if you werent going to fly for a while charge them up to around 2 bars, how longs a safe time limit to leave a fully charged battery if your not gonna use it

There's many threads in here on that but all my battery's will start to discharge down on their own .If not then I would guess around that but me no battery expert bro .
I would have to search back on how long ya could leave it full but like I said if I got gas me gonna burn it

Edit / Before we get OT here on battery's look in here and ya might find out more info on this

Got it figured out and it works now. As I said before, Kerri at RotorPixel had me order a new control board.

Now I have two questions because I can never seem to get in touch with him:

1. How can I copy the firmware/settings from the new board to my computer for backup?

2. How can I transfer the firmware/settings from the new board to the old board?

Thanks for anyone who is willing to help me with this.

I only have Apple computers, but can borrow a pc laptop if it is absolutely necessary to use that. I would think just doing a data transfer/storage that any computer should work, but…what do I know.

Again, a hearty Thank You! to anyone who can help me with this.
