Hello,
I've read the other posts and this problem seems different than others who are having tilt problems.
I installed the Zenmuse H3-2D Gimbal with the new circuit board in the Phantom, and the little lever that comes with the board to control the tilt angle on the transmitter.
I followed the directions meticulously, turning the X1 pot clockwise 90 degrees, before installing the lever.
Upon startup, and after running the Naza Assistant calibration and installing all the updates, the GoPro/Gimbal points straight ahead, and then when sliding the lever, it tilts up to point at the front of the Phantom.
While the Phantom was on, I opened up the transmitter/controller and rotated the pot to ensure that the gimbal fully moved, and full movement can be achieved easily with the pot rotation.
However, because the lever on the transmitter only works at 90-degree contact points with the pot, the options are either straight forward and tilt up to the front of the Phantom, or tilt straight down and tilt up slightly forward. The degree of tilt is only about 15-20 degrees.
Also, I noticed that it tilts up quickly, but returns down very slowly.
I've read about replacing the pot and tilt lever with a new pot on the transmitter/controller, but I'm not up for that just yet. I want to make sure that the Gimbal and software is working correctly before hacking the unit just to fix a deficiency.
Any ideas on what is going on?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Michael
