We just had a Tornado go by and had went to get pic's of the tree's down and got caught in a quick rain and couldn't get down fast enough.Nice one dirk
Glad you got it sorted out, damp electronics in the gimbal.
Had never seen the gimbal act like that before

I'm wondering now if maybe I should try and spray some kind of sealer around the board to keep moisture out
as I do try and get weather shots to Tweet out and do get caught like that sometimes !
Will have to study on that !!! The moisture had to have came in the back where the little button is .

****, I really hope neighbors are ok? And your property as well.
It's that time of year, I guess. We'll Happy Memorial Day weekend to you.
Let us know how much damage is around, maybe with pics/video?
All the best out of SD!
Instead of using some electrical water proof spray, what about trying something like blue tack to cover up the gaps
at leased the tack can be removed from the gimbalIf you use spray, could....not saying it would.... Cause problems. Then you need to clean all the electrics.
Just my thoughts anyways
Hope all is well your way with the tornado
Mother Nature for ya

Hey guys...quick update...I updated my Compass to the latest model and all seems OK wth calibration so far! But BTW...the new compass cable that is sheilded is super short and almost couldnt get my cover back on! Future updates should allow just a little more cable there....so it's not so snug...also the landing gear hole is super snug as well, expecially with the new shielded compass and gimbal cables together...(slightly larger wouldnt hurt)
my two cents - happy flying!

Hi:
I bound the new controller with the gimaball wheel to my Vison with Rotopixal gimball. All works well until I shut down the bird. When I turn the vision off and back on the gimball points straight down until I use the wheel to move it back up. I tried selecting reverse in the assistant software and it still does the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Terry

Terry it's been doing that for as long as I have been reading about these things . Mine does the same and I just hold my wheel up when I power up my bird and it just kinda shakes and then all is fine . I have never seen a fix for this .Sometimes I just let it go down as my skids are high enough
for the camera clear the ground .
Not saying there isn't a fix but I have never seen it .

You are welcomegood deal. I will work on this
Thanks so much for the reply
I tried all the settings but finally just gave up . I know in the main RPG thread that's so long they talk about this and some just built
little platforms for theirs so it wouldn't hit .
I put the +'s skids on mine and it clears with no problem .
Yep, gives about 1/2" more space. But you still need to roll the wheel when it starts up.
OR, you can get extra long legs from HobbyKing but it dont look right (I tried them and went back to the Plus legs).

Yep Squid like Cy said . I also have my antenna brackets and added little skid wrappers to get more height as the filter
kit kept wanting to hit .
