I have been in glider land for months, and just now returning to Phantom land. A bit rusty on a few things. I downloaded Ian's v5 profile, and have a few questions for Ian, SJBrit, or anyone else out there who can assist. I have re-read the original post of this thread twice, scrolled through the 14SG menus, and done some test flying. Not wanting to ask stupid questions or questions easily answered by research, I stand before you hat in hand:
1) How the heck does POV work? I played with SE and LD tonight, and **** if I can figure out the calibration, or other inputs to be applied to generate nice circles, and control tangential speed. Simply dialing LD does nothing for me relative to hand-flying POV, which I have become fairly smooth at, especially with goggles on. Appreciate any insight from any Jedi POV pilots out there. I am wondering if programming RD to dial up/down lateral movement, and LD for simply yaw, and hand mix the two for each shot. Once dialed in, I can memorize how many clicks of each get radius, speed, concentricity of interest.
2) Re gimbal tilt, I think the best facility for me would be this: with 3-way in one furthest north position, use RS for 0 to 20 degrees, spreading those 20 degrees over full range of RS. Using servo speed on the 14SG and gain on the H3-3D, I can manage smooth motion with minimal latency. But I *really* want to spread full range of RS over the first 20 degrees from horizontal to looking down a little bit. Then middle position of 3-way would be full 90 degree motion spread across RS full range. Then 3rd position of 3-way would be camera straight down. Often useful in tough landings or aerial photography. Anyone programmed anything like the above?
3) Completely off-topic, but my GPH4 arrives tomorrow, and I've seen mention of a few tips and trips on other threads, including mention by Ian. Would be curious if there is a compendium of GPH4 settings, tips, tricks somewhere that are apropos what we do: smooth aerial vids in varying lighting conditions, with noise and vibration all around us.
Thanks all,
Kelly
