Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

[Squiddley]

Heres a question for you guys do your batteries seem tight to get out mine always seems so tight to get it out always have to pull real hard to get it out, just wondering if thats the way it is or is there something I can do to fix this

Ya seems like it was just a balancing issue I just followed the video I just put a mark with a felt pen on the 2 plates where the screws go that you adjust just to have a guide as to how much I actually moved it one way or the other, seemed to work for me didnt have to move it to much now the gimbal stays wherever I put it and when I shut it off it stays level now instead of flipping to one side, no did my first flight already, have flown around 4 times already getting better and braver everytime I go out cant wait to try it with the gimbal havent flown with it yet maybe this weekend if it doesnt rain

Well Dirkclod went out and flew the phantom tonight worked like a charm with the new gimbal except noticed when I got home tonight and was watching the video I had a lot of jittering in different parts of the video must have had a wire touching somewhere seems when the wires touch the camera or are restricted a bit the camera jitters, rearranged them a bit when I got home just finished trying it in the house tilting it back and forth seems to be gone now so that must have been the problem but man is the video smooth now

[dirkclod]
