@@YuriTereshyn Excellent tutorial, thank you so much, i have almost the same DSLR setup, and i am also a drone pilot, ive tuned drone PIDs but tuning gimbal is a different story, ! BTW my name also Yuri, greetings from Ukraine ! )
by far the best explanation i have seen so far.... i watched mr.*****cam and was lost. i followed the video and now think i can actually tune my gimbal. Dude, i must say hats off to you, you're the king!
+Yuri Tereshyn hahaha.... i wish i could boss. on a side note, that looks like the came 3 axis gimbal. i just baught one and it arrived today missing the QR plate (go figure). do you know the size of the plate or a good replacement quick release system? i have a shoot friday and i doubt came tv will have the plate to me by that time. i am thinking amazon overnight shipping if you can help me out. thanks in advance
Excellent! After several weeks of reading and watching videos on how to tune my gimbal....and NOT getting it right.....after watching your vid I now have a very smoothly operating gimbal. THANK YOU!
Hi! Thank you very much for the video! I live in Russia, in Moscow and we do not have specialists to configure this system, your video is very clear and helped me in setting up the system! You're a great guy! Good luck!
I've kept this video bookmark for about a year now to set up my #Storm32 gimbals because when I use the how to explanations and videos for the storm32 I always end up with motor vibrations when I get the multicopter in the air (of course it's fine and doesn't vibrate when I'm setting them). Your way of setting the PIDs work great and haven't gotten motor vibrations in the air. Thank you for the video.
You are my new hero. I have been struggling for a week to get my gimbal operational, yours was the first one which actually got through my thick skull! Thank you!
Thanks Yuri. Couldn't understand why I was having so much trouble with the autotune on my large drone until i read a few forums that indicated it is appalling. Followed your guide and ... well ... it's frikking perfect now. Thanks dude
Hey Yuri, I was wondering if you could help me out. My gimbal, the Pilotfly H2, its Yaw axis keeps spinning and won't stay still in the GUI software. The Blue arrow is constantly spining and the white number values keep going up. Do you know why this is?
Hi Yuri, I'm using your method for tuning my AlexMos and, though yours is the best way I found, I still can't get the bugs out of my gimbal! After tuning the pitch setting with your video playing alongside the BGC interface, the gimbal appears to have a good pitch PID and power setting, but after I don't interact with it for a moment or so, it slowly starts to drop until the camera is facing straight down... I've tried different PIDs and power settings, and it still droops. And when I have the three axis set it will sit quiet and follow RC commands and then for no apparent reason (to me, anyway) have shaky and twitchy fits. I read some of the below comments and I understand you get a lot of calls for help, so I will understand if you never reply. I live in Outback Australia where no one knows anything about drones, so you are my only hope (no pressure:). Please, any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks, Kryssie
Oh, now I'm making myself sound stupid!! Of course, that's what the trims are for, on the RC and in the BGC settings... duh! Sorry to bother you with my brainlock. Ciao :)
This is by far the best video yet thank you so much but I have a weird question. after setting my settings exactly as in this video for my Nikon D7200 everything worked perfect when I turn to gimble on again to use it a second time It started to get like a low noise vibration out of the roll motor after spending hours messing with it and lowering the power settings the noise went away but it wasn't strong enough to counteract my movements. Then out of the blue I moved my camera just a hair off from the exact balance that I had it set up on and the noise goes away if I put my camera back just a hair over for exact perfect balance the noise comes back makes no sense
thx for the great video ; it helps me a lot to adjust my gimbal ! There is just one question : You go "very"high with the Motor power ; How hight is your temperature on the Motors using the gimbal ? I have the GBM5208-150T Motors installed and have Tempertaures about 50 Celsius ; is it ok or to high for the Motors ?
Great tutorial. I bought a very cheap gimbal from banggood whose stock pid stock settings were no good for my action cam (Turnigy 2KHD). Used this tutorial to tune it. Awesome
Hey Yuri, Thanks for the video, very helpful to have someone explain it the way you did! I just got the Came 7800 and have allot to learn. I too have been flying RC's and now UAV's Im hoping you will answer a couple of questions for me? When I put my gimbal in over the handles mode it works until I get the YAW off about 10-15 deg then it starts struggling to hold the position by studdering then losing the fight, power is at 255 but my P on yaw is low (17 - .09 - 39) will bumping the P value help this? Second question, under the Motor configuration menu as I mentioned the power is at 255 but just to the right of that there is 255 under the + column? what does that represent and is it needed? Last one is just curiosity, what Canon camera and lens combo you have on the gimbal in this video? I'm guessing your video footage through the camera was WIFI from the camera since no wires were hooked to the camera? Thanks man, I'm subscribing and looking forward to more great info from ya!
Very nice video :) I have an old gimbal made for the nex5n with 18-55mm lens(ag500dd). I thought I could make it work as a handheld gimbal for the gh4 with a 12mm olympus prime lens. I have modified and balanced the gimbal to fit the gh4. The problem is that it looks like when it's compensating for my movements its speed halts on every magnetic pole the motor has. It's the same problem on tilt and roll, but roll is better. Do you think this is typical when the motors are to small? The roll motor is iPower GBM4008-150T and I tried to use that for the tilt also, but I went back to the standard tilt motor, GBM 3508 130T
Hi Yuri, I hope you're still responding to comments on this video. After finally getting my gimbal to connect to the software (initial trouble was a bad USB cable), I have begun to follow this amazing tutorial! However, the first problem occurs basically as soon as I began. After turning all the numbers in PID and Power to 0, I then made P and D 10 for the Pitch axis only, and wrote and tested the motor power in increments like you show. At every level of power though, the motor is not completely still like yours is, but instead slowly moving downward (lens sinks towards ground) and then all the sudden jerking itself back to the top and then slowly moving around again. It seems unexplainable because we calibrated all the gyroscopes, sensors, etc. I pretty much have no clue what could be causing this. I can send you a video if you are interested in helping. Thank you!
Thanks for the settings really helped. Use a camera and gimbal on the copter when you turn the copter , the gimbal fills up the horizon. Sensors-calibrated 6-axis alexmos 32bit controller , balancing fine. What can you twist?
Hi mate I bought similar looking 3 axis brushless gimbal but when I plug my storm 32 board with GUI via USB on GUI it says "serial data corrupt" so I can't change PID values, and my gimbal only works if I press reset on storm 32 board but motors are shaky and makes struggling sounds. Please show me the right path to fix this problem. Thank you
Thank you for that great video. I wanna build a gimbal myself too but im still not Sure about the the components... Could u send a link where u bought the motors and the Controller?
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! Ive been struggling on figuring out how to set the PID for my Nikon D610... this video explained perfectly how to do it, i finally got my came7000 working!
Great video! Things you could explain is the 'Adaptive PID gains control' and how to use Filters tab. The problem I have is that when I'm done with PID tuning after a while it starts to vibrate/oscilate like on very high frequency - it is like buzzing but very loud and it is happening only in certain positions of the camera. My balancing is ok and I've tried to get rid of those vibrations with Filters tab but even when I put every frequency I can measure with some spectrum analiser (on andriod phone) it gets rid of them but after a while it starts again in slightly different position on the camera. I really need some help here because I'm out of ideas....
dzikbk I dont understand the adaptive PID gains control or the filters tab really. If you're getting the buzzing at certain angles its because your gains are all too high and the reason you're only getting it at certain angles is because of the imperfect angles. Try lowering your power, your p and your D especially (it causes the high vibrations). Also check if you get the high vibrations when you're holding the gimbal with two hands(on the handles). Also check if you get even more vibrations by only holding it by the middle top handle. If you're getting more vibrations from just holding the top middle handle it means your yaw gains are too high.
Hello Yuri. Im so please with the video, is perfect to underestand the tuning. Thanks you for it. Now i have been trying to do it ,butm i have a diference in the display of leves indicators screen and is when you move the tilt only the black pitch bar moves. My does not work the same way an is not smooth at all. hope you can help me. Best regards
I have it mounted above the yaw motor and parallel with all motor. Fran motor is enabled and set for above yaw but the gimbal goes nuts no matter the pid I set. Does fine with one Imu. And it's a 32 bit basecam.
Thanks so much for making this video. Although I'll probably have to watch it a few more times to really get it down, the information you've provided in invaluable. I'm working on getting a Beholder DS1 with 32 bit dual IMU tuned correctly for my camera setup. It's a thousand times better than it was but I have a couple questions. When working properly, should the brushless motors be pretty much silent, or is a slight high pitch tone to be expected during movement? (It's quiet when I'm holding it still) And I seem to have a bit of yaw creep. After rotating the handle back and forth a few times, the cam no longer points straight ahead when everything comes to a stop. I did lower the Follow YAW LPF to 0 which may have helped. Can you think of any other settings to keep it so that straight ahead remains straight ahead? Thanks!
If I had the money, I'd be more than happy to get a Ronin or something else higher quality than the DS1 :-D Maybe some day. Thank you for the suggestion though. And again, thank you for this video. It's extremely helpful with my current gimbal situation.
your quite an agressive young chap!........it was just a question... as the auto tune method has worked for me regularly and I have now sarted using encoders that have radically changed the stability and power consumption on my systems. To be frank your method is rather unscientific, but if it helps others who are also out of their depth with feed back loop theory and motion control then I applaud your efforts, never stop learning there is always somthing to learn from every day and everyone........a gift from someone who swapped his ego for enlightenment many years ago.
Thanks a lot for this video. Getting crazy trying to adjust with awful results, even with AUTO PID. Adjust it according to your video, and it works PERFECT! THANKS!!
Great tutorial ! It makes sens to me how do you explain the all process ! two minor remakes : for the pitch tuning i think you should check the Y not the Z in the monitoring tab (Z is up) and in the follow mode to make the "Estimaste frame angles from motors" you should make an OFFSET calibration in the same tab. Thanks again ! Philippe, FR
Yuri Tereshyn hi guys Yuri 1000 thanks for your video I'm a french guy having an "home made" gimbal with old alexmos 8 bit to be used with a 5d mk2+sigma 15-30 (total weight : 1,3 kgs). The guy sold me this gimbal without explanations and promised me a ready to use product... but it was a fairy tale. Like you said it seems that when I try to pitch beyond 45 degrees it's shaking immediately. I will do quietly all your steps quietly and will try to upload a video like you did to explain my troubles and what is the final results with your great tutorial. Pour Philippe FR : Salut si on peut echanger par mail ou fb au sujet des gimbals et leurs dépendances merci de me contacter
Glad to hear man! I have a 3 axis gimbal that can take my t2i. It has an 8 bit board and it has those problems of not getting extreme angles. I'll make a video showing that too soon so you can see the limitations! Let me know if you have any more issues.
I have the same stabilizer but my camera is a blackmagic pocket cinema camera weighs 500g with lens, when I modify the "I" the camera does not return, how could I fix it? thanks
Hi Yuri, Can I use the same parameters you use to fine tune this gimbal to my PilotFly H1? I've seen your comment on one of Dave's D. video and you commented to watch this. My pilotFly is going crazy. Thanks!
dear yuri, thanks for your video, i yust started to calibrate my first gimbal, i use your method. I set the p and d just like you, but the gimbal doesnt get back to level if i set the I value, its just stays there where i move it. Please help!
my settings are similiar to yours in this video. I am using sony a7s + follow focus + cage. 1.) i did all the settings without any high frequency vibrations . but i picked up the gimbal to test stability but now i feel the vibrations. is there a shortcut to determine which setting is too high? 2.) what's your experience with temperatures? on the simplebgc mine reads 36C but the motors feel reallly hot . have you damaged motors before? any tips for preventing damage?
For my little gimbal for the copter that has an nex capable gimbal I'll use Sony which has a great autofocus. For real life jobs where we use the movi we use the red dragon and have a follow focus system. I used to have my canon on my handheld alexmos gimbal with a 12-24. I'd set the exposure and leave a high f stop so keep more on focus.
Parallax Visuals Hi my friend. How to set the suspension: ru.aliexpress.com/item/3-Axis-Brushless-Gimbal-Camera-Mount-with-32bit-Storm32-Controller-for-Gopro-3-4-FPV-Black/32364090619.html
Thanks .... could not be better .... ..... fantastic tutorial was what I was expecting .... thank you very much. if you do not mind ... I wonder how it goes .... IMU connections because they are two ... and this I am sure there are many people waiting for this information.
Yuri what screen capture did you use to capture the simplebgc software. any I have tried to use conflicts and won't work when connected to my gimbal. they work fine when not connected. strange?? thanks
bonjour je viens d'acquérir un came tv 7800 mais je n'arrive pas à régler tout les profiles ou paramètres d'origine , j'aI utiliser le logiciel simple bgc32 2.66b2 mais rien y fait je n'y arrive pas pourriez m'aider a régler ma cametv 7800 car je suis perdu merci
Thanks bro! - I'm having a bit of a problem. I followed your video and it was going well up until I started trying it out. It felt as the motor couldn't hold it. So I set everything to Zero again to restart, but now whenever I click "Write" the motors don't seem to respond anymore, it makes the beeping sound but it won't do anymore resisting even when the power is up to 200 on all of them (Yaw, Pitch, Roll) Like they're all still set on zero. I'm using A7sii and a Canon 16-35. It's not that heavy. I don't think that's the reason, I'm scared that I might have burnt the motors? Again, Thank you!
Thanks a lot! It will be wonderfull if you'll do all process of optimisation of alexmos 32bit. With calibration. Beginning from reseting all settings. It's the most complete tutorial that I saw.
Yuri, you are a f'n hero. I'm the closest I've ever been to getting this rig going. My YAW drifts. Have you ever run in to that? Its just always going left very slowly.
Thanks a lot for your great explanation. I'm using a S900 with a new gimbal and controller. Since I saw your video I think my camera will work fine. But the importantest thing of all: nice Mustache!
I don´t suppose you you could help me out in any way...?! I got a CAME 7800 which gives me barely any power on all motors, no matter how much power I give them. (It worked OK, but then I updated to Simple BGC 2.50 b3 and it went crazy, I then tried to downgrade and erased EEPRAM) Super appreciated if you have any advice.
Hello! My problem is the gimbal shut down automaticaly every 40 second for 7 second and turn on again for 40 second and shut it down for 7 second over and over. What is the solution? Thanks for the help!
What does white arrow stand for? I have problem whit my gimbal,white arrow on pitch and roll is drifting away,and when it reaches 90 degree,gimbal start to freak out. Any sugestion?
Great Job Bro .. Thanks for the tips :) Keep Up, still didn't own a gimbal yet but trying to learn tuning first and get some concepts .. Thanks a bunch once again
My gimbal starts up and acts as it should, but the camera points down and to the left and at a 45 degree angle. How do I get it to start up pointing forward and level. (2 axis glb )
Hey I have a strange question. I have a Came TV Mini 1 and when in follow mode, the gimbal makes the camera tilt all the way until it is fully vertical. I have to use the joystick in order to keep bringing the pan down. Any ideas?
My roll and pitch axes don't actually stay perfectly level when I move the gimbal. How do I fix it if it over-compensates in the opposite direction I'm moving it?
Super video that really finally explains PID's. Thanks so much. Now if you can just walk me through upgrading my rig from the 8bit to the 32bit board I would be ecstatic.Nobody here in NH knows about these rigs.. Do you anyone on the East Coast that is good with these rigs? Thanks. Joe
Yuri Tereshyn Thanks for getting back to me. I have ordered the 32bit board. Do you have any videos or can suggest any guides for installing correctly? Especially the placement of the second imu. I want to try and avoid making more problems for myself. Thanks again.
Hey, quick question. Ill be building a gimbal for an fpv drone and im having trouble determining how much torque ill need to fly in a follow mode with a komodo as a payload. I was planning on building around the iflight GM8112T motors. Think thats enough?
Hey Yuri, are you still using Alex Mos gimbals? If so I could really use you advice! We are having all sorts of trouble. Is this something you still do?
Super useful, most of these videos I've seen don't explain this settings in much detail so it's great to know how it all works,. Many thanks!

I did lower the Follow YAW LPF to 0 which may have helped. Can you think of any other settings to keep it so that straight ahead remains straight ahead?
Thanks!
Buy a ronin or movi, alex mos gimbals are a hassle, I stopped using them shortly after I filmed this video because of obvious reasons
If I had the money, I'd be more than happy to get a Ronin or something else higher quality than the DS1 :-D
Maybe some day. Thank you for the suggestion though. And again, thank you for this video. It's extremely helpful with my current gimbal situation.
Thanks man! please subscribe, Sorry I couldn't be more help
your quite an agressive young chap!........it was just a question... as the auto tune method has worked for me regularly and I have now sarted using encoders that have radically changed the stability and power consumption on my systems. To be frank your method is rather unscientific, but if it helps others who are also out of their depth with feed back loop theory and motion control then I applaud your efforts, never stop learning there is always somthing to learn from every day and everyone........a gift from someone who swapped his ego for enlightenment many years ago.
+Guide504 I tried the autotune method and it didn't work so....
You lipo charger had me running around my house to mine, lol
Thanks a lot for this video.
Getting crazy trying to adjust with awful results, even with AUTO PID.
Adjust it according to your video, and it works PERFECT!
THANKS!!
Thanks for the Video.
Is there anyway you could demonstrate a 6 point calibration for camera and gyro IMU?
Can you please HELP I have a Allsteady Turbo Ace 6 which is just like the setup here an I need profile settings etc
Great tutorial !
It makes sens to me how do you explain the all process !
two minor remakes : for the pitch tuning i think you should check the Y not the Z in the monitoring tab (Z is up) and in the follow mode to make the "Estimaste frame angles from motors" you should make an OFFSET calibration in the same tab.
Thanks again !
Philippe, FR
Ya I think I did screw up the tilt gyro reading
Oh and please share with any gimbal guys you know. I'm looking for more feedback. Thanks!
Yuri Tereshyn hi guys
Yuri 1000 thanks for your video
I'm a french guy having an "home made" gimbal with old alexmos 8 bit to be used with a 5d mk2+sigma 15-30 (total weight : 1,3 kgs).
The guy sold me this gimbal without explanations and promised me a ready to use product... but it was a fairy tale.
Like you said it seems that when I try to pitch beyond 45 degrees it's shaking immediately.
I will do quietly all your steps quietly and will try to upload a video like you did to explain my troubles and what is the final results with your great tutorial.
Pour Philippe FR : Salut si on peut echanger par mail ou fb au sujet des gimbals et leurs dépendances merci de me contacter
Glad to hear man! I have a 3 axis gimbal that can take my t2i. It has an 8 bit board and it has those problems of not getting extreme angles. I'll make a video showing that too soon so you can see the limitations! Let me know if you have any more issues.
great video! best video i have seen on alex mos gimbal tuning
I have the same stabilizer but my camera is a blackmagic pocket cinema camera weighs 500g with lens, when I modify the "I" the camera does not return, how could I fix it? thanks
Helped me out big time thanks , works so much better now , my came7800 slightly loses its horizon after a few movements :/ any hints or tips for me ?
Calibrate accel and gyro
+Yuri Tereshyn i will give that a go ... thank you from Scotland (y)
Hello Yuri Tereshyn
thank for alexmos 32bit BGC excellent information
Hi Yuri,
Can I use the same parameters you use to fine tune this gimbal to my PilotFly H1? I've seen your comment on one of Dave's D. video and you commented to watch this. My pilotFly is going crazy. Thanks!
dear yuri, thanks for your video, i yust started to calibrate my first gimbal, i use your method. I set the p and d just like you, but the gimbal doesnt get back to level if i set the I value, its just stays there where i move it. Please help!
You need to set some value to I. "I" makes the motor reposition to target. The more you increase "I" the faster it repositions.
buy a ronin!
my settings are similiar to yours in this video. I am using sony a7s + follow focus + cage.
1.) i did all the settings without any high frequency vibrations . but i picked up the gimbal to test stability but now i feel the vibrations. is there a shortcut to determine which setting is too high?
2.) what's your experience with temperatures? on the simplebgc mine reads 36C but the motors feel reallly hot . have you damaged motors before? any tips for preventing damage?
Merci pour cette vidéo. Même pour quelqu'un comme moi qui ne comprend pas l'anglais, cette vidéos est très claire.
SUPER GREAT!! by the way, how do you control exposure, ISO and other settings while using the gimbal? (especially the focus I mean)
For my little gimbal for the copter that has an nex capable gimbal I'll use Sony which has a great autofocus. For real life jobs where we use the movi we use the red dragon and have a follow focus system. I used to have my canon on my handheld alexmos gimbal with a 12-24. I'd set the exposure and leave a high f stop so keep more on focus.
Gianpaolo Cerato i'll resort to build a bt controlled focus puller
Parallax Visuals
let me know!
Parallax Visuals Hi my friend. How to set the suspension: ru.aliexpress.com/item/3-Axis-Brushless-Gimbal-Camera-Mount-with-32bit-Storm32-Controller-for-Gopro-3-4-FPV-Black/32364090619.html
+Yuri Tereshyn Do you ever use the Sony A7s?
Thanks .... could not be better .... ..... fantastic tutorial was what I was expecting .... thank you very much.
if you do not mind ... I wonder how it goes .... IMU connections because they are two ... and this I am sure there are many people waiting for this information.
thanks so much Yuri. You've taken the guess work out of my BGC gimbals.
Sensacional!!! Eu procurei tanto isso na internet e não achei nada. Muito obrigado irmão
Great video mate thanks. Mine is all sorted now after hours of messing about with it by myself!!
Steve Mitchell right on
Yuri what screen capture did you use to capture the simplebgc software. any I have tried to use conflicts and won't work when connected to my gimbal. they work fine when not connected. strange?? thanks
bonjour je viens d'acquérir un came tv 7800 mais je n'arrive pas à régler tout les profiles ou paramètres d'origine , j'aI utiliser le logiciel simple bgc32 2.66b2 mais rien y fait je n'y arrive pas pourriez m'aider a régler ma cametv 7800 car je suis perdu merci
Thanks bro! - I'm having a bit of a problem. I followed your video and it was going well up until I started trying it out. It felt as the motor couldn't hold it. So I set everything to Zero again to restart, but now whenever I click "Write" the motors don't seem to respond anymore, it makes the beeping sound but it won't do anymore resisting even when the power is up to 200 on all of them (Yaw, Pitch, Roll) Like they're all still set on zero. I'm using A7sii and a Canon 16-35. It's not that heavy. I don't think that's the reason, I'm scared that I might have burnt the motors? Again, Thank you!
oh I'm using a CAME 7000 I updated to 32 bit.
buy ronin
Yuri Tereshyn - well...yeah. Lol But, that didn't answer my actual question.
didn't it though
Ha! - Ok ok. You're right. Ronin M good?
wow thats some fine work dude!! Need to tune my gimbal but now its too late ehehe ill do that tomo morning!! Hope to succeed :D keep it up
Thanks a lot! It will be wonderfull if you'll do all process of optimisation of alexmos 32bit. With calibration. Beginning from reseting all settings. It's the most complete tutorial that I saw.
epelfeld I don't waste time with these gimbal controllers anymore. Sorry
why? what do you use now?
epelfeld MōVI and ronin because Alex mos is a bunch of hassles
Yuri, you are a f'n hero. I'm the closest I've ever been to getting this rig going. My YAW drifts. Have you ever run in to that? Its just always going left very slowly.
Calibrate ?
+Yuri Tereshyn
I get that even if I stick the sensor to a table, then calibrate ACC and Gyro
new imu
+Yuri Tereshyn
Thanks. I'll order one. Any advice on configuring follow mode? When I enable it acts possessed. Also, are you in Toronto too?
ya in toronto. you might have your motors reveresed in follow mode. click reverse or autotune the directions
Very useful video! Very well produced as well! Thanks! Helped me so much even though I'm using a 8-bit controller on a light 2 axis gimbal
Thanks a lot for your great explanation. I'm using a S900 with a new gimbal and controller. Since I saw your video I think my camera will work fine.
But the importantest thing of all: nice Mustache!
This was a much needed video!! Thank you!!!
A good explanation for beginners
I don´t suppose you you could help me out in any way...?! I got a CAME 7800 which gives me barely any power on all motors, no matter how much power I give them. (It worked OK, but then I updated to Simple BGC 2.50 b3 and it went crazy, I then tried to downgrade and erased EEPRAM) Super appreciated if you have any advice.
Can not thank you enough:) I now will always use this method!
Hello! My problem is the gimbal shut down automaticaly every 40 second for 7 second and turn on again for 40 second and shut it down for 7 second over and over. What is the solution? Thanks for the help!
What does white arrow stand for? I have problem whit my gimbal,white arrow on pitch and roll is drifting away,and when it reaches 90 degree,gimbal start to freak out. Any sugestion?
super nice video ! thanks for the help
Great Job Bro .. Thanks for the tips :) Keep Up, still didn't own a gimbal yet but trying to learn tuning first and get some concepts .. Thanks a bunch once again
ayman fatani just get a ronin or movi way easier
The easier the higher price to be paid loool, I am a low-budget guy unfortunately :)
My gimbal starts up and acts as it should, but the camera points down and to the left and at a 45 degree angle. How do I get it to start up pointing forward and level.
(2 axis glb )
Mine is still spinning flipping around. What could be the problem?
Excellent video . Thanks for sharing.
Amazing tutorial bro, Ive tuned my nebula 4000 like a Bosss
Hey I have a strange question. I have a Came TV Mini 1 and when in follow mode, the gimbal makes the camera tilt all the way until it is fully vertical. I have to use the joystick in order to keep bringing the pan down. Any ideas?
thank you for the vid now im going to apply the same steps you did to my gimbal good job in explaining
so if i have a came tv argo can this work?
Like! It was interesting for me! I try use 2-axis gimbal. Very interesting process! Thank you for video!
Excellent tutorial. My 'home point' is slightly off to the right, any ideas how to reset this so it's facing forward?
Propertyflix - Property Marketing Edinburgh buy a ronin
Yuri, thanks for the reply, I hear you my friend :). However, for now I have a CAME Optimus. Any idea how I might reset my 'home' position?
Propertyflix - Property Marketing Edinburgh toss it in the trash to save the headaches and buy a ronin
Yuri Tereshyn I take it it's not possible to reset or you don't know the answer? Easier to say you don't know we would save time.
Propertyflix - Property Marketing Edinburgh ronin
My roll and pitch axes don't actually stay perfectly level when I move the gimbal. How do I fix it if it over-compensates in the opposite direction I'm moving it?
With no I for my YAW, it still drifts, what does that mean??!!
Thank you for help! Greetings from Poland :)
please help me im having issue on my gimbal its shaking like crazy even tho the roll is just on 10 - 0 - 10.. please help
Super video that really finally explains PID's. Thanks so much. Now if you can just walk me through upgrading my rig from the 8bit to the 32bit board I would be ecstatic.Nobody here in NH knows about these rigs.. Do you anyone on the East Coast that is good with these rigs? Thanks.
Joe
Joe E just put your new 32 bit board on and retune
Yuri Tereshyn Thanks for getting back to me. I have ordered the 32bit board. Do you have any videos or can suggest any guides for installing correctly? Especially the placement of the second imu. I want to try and avoid making more problems for myself. Thanks again.
no. just buy a ronin
Incredibly Helpful Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks please sub
Great tutorial!
Which Storm 32 will work for a Sony alpha series ?? And which motors
est tunning tutorial i've seen
thank you kind sir!
you just made my 8bit work like a movi:D
Cheers mate, great video, really well explained and has helped a lot
Hey, quick question. Ill be building a gimbal for an fpv drone and im having trouble determining how much torque ill need to fly in a follow mode with a komodo as a payload.
I was planning on building around the iflight GM8112T motors. Think thats enough?
No idea. This video is so old
@Yuri Tereshyn i hear ya. Figured it was a long shot. Any idea what size motors that rig had for reference?
Please forgive me that I can not use English well.
Let question.
What do you use the battery?
Hey Yuri, are you still using Alex Mos gimbals? If so I could really use you advice! We are having all sorts of trouble. Is this something you still do?
Also my gimbal slants to one side when I’m doing this process
Nice informative video !
Огромное спасибо. Может на русском можно такую же инструкцию забабахать? А то не всё понятно. Может будет полезно тем кто в английском не силён. А?
