    Im having trouble with the yaw Axis constantly drifting anti clockwise.

    Anyone know how to fix this issue? Seemed to occur after I tried to invert the gimbal to use upside down.

    It is not the rc, as it continues when rc is disabled..

    Need help please

    Thanks

    Has anyone successfully ordered batteries (aftermarket, not from Came) that fit and work with the device?

  • Sph1nxsterSph1nxster

    Yeah left footage raw but it did clean up really well

  • ntsanntsan

    nice one! a simple warp in post will make it look smooth even more

  • mrbillmrbill

    Thought that was pretty good - pleasing lack of the dreaded 'bounce'

  • Sph1nxsterSph1nxster

    First test. Some minor adjustments to balancing but overall Im very pleased. Technique needs to improve before i'm happy to take this along to paid stuff

    no test Mini Came with Sony A7S 24/70 ?

    Thanks

  • ntsanntsan

    Cheesycam got their came-mini, so a review would be up in a few days I think. The instagram video looks fluid.

    The joystick control is fluid and very responsive and movement while walking is also very smooth

  • Sph1nxsterSph1nxster

    Finally got batteries and done quick test. In my mind I've got it balanced properly before I switch it on, when I switch it on it leans to the right by about 2 degrees. I press and hold the joystick button and can get it to reset level but it doesn't hold it for long before leaning again. Any ideas?

    Thanks. I dunno the discharge rate of the unbranded batteries but I think the Panasonic battery u posted should be fine. Anyway, maybe this can oso be ur reference- http://ecigarettereviewed.com/top-10-high-drain-batteries-for-sub-ohm-vaping. I'm now very sick so I'm gonna play with the gimbal after I get well. Good luck.

    @7hau

    please see the default pid settings attached. I tried autotune - it messed everything up, so I went back to default on all 3 profile settings.

    I am using the cheap purple batteries now until I order branded ones. These are the right size, but Im not sure if the discharge rates are different - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-NCR18650PD-UNPROTECTED-Rechargeable-Battery/dp/B0099R4AA6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427509275&sr=8-1&keywords=NCR18650PD

    how can I tell??

    Only been playing with it tonight for the first time, think it is almost well balanced, just need some minor tweaks, but the three profiles work pretty well. The simplebgc stuff will take a lot of learning before I can extract some value from it.

    With regards to your missing screws, i thought mine was missing too, but I looked closer and there was the headless alan key screws deep inside the holes. all seems good.

    will keep playing this weekend and report back

    65mm is excluding the top button part.

  • AdamfromaboveAdamfromabove

    Thanks for the photo 7hau...is that 65mm plus the button top (nipple) or 65mm total?

    Already wasted £30 on batteries too big!

    I haven't got the 12-35mm to compare if it fits im afraid.

    Ive only tried with the 20mm pancake so far on my gh3.

    I presumed i could turn this on and work with it without having to plug into a computer..

    Sorry i cant report back yet... Had the gimbal for 3weeks now.. And cant use.

    Not seen anyone report favourably yet

    Tried to mount the bracket a bit away from lens mount but it still touches the lens zoom rubber ring and oso the height set would oso affect balance of the camera. So I think it's oso quite impossible to add quick release adapter because of the height limit. thus it'll be inconvenient to take out camera and change camera battery.

    About the batteries I read somewhere that IMR batteries are safer than unprotected ICR . just make sure the battery is 65mm.

    Thanks for the file sp1inkster

    7hau..could you please photograph the top & bottom of the batteries please? I want to order branded 18650s...but there are so many different types.

    I'll report back when i have batteries to use.

    But Be careful with the batteries... Read up on proper use of unprotected 18650s before you get started.

    Also.. Can you not take the bracket that goes around the front of camera/lens off?

  • 7hau7hau

    Received the mini gimbal and then the no brand 18650 batteries afterwards. Batteries are 65mm light purple color. before the batteries arrived I tried to setup may gh4 on it, and the rod fell off because no crews was fixed on the position circled red in the photo, so I just screw them and now seems ok, I oso found holes (circled green) underneath but cannot fully screw in so I assume it's ok to leave them?

    Another thing is that I cannot mount GH4 with Pana 12-35mm lens with the front bracket near lens mount coz the bracket size is too tight for the lens to fit in, I tried different ways to compromise but will affect the balancing so I giveup setting up with this lens. So, now I'm setting up with a Oly 9-18mm.

    I tried to auto tune using SimpleBGC GUI but end up with gimbal keep shaking non stop which makes some screws loosen and 1 fell off. So I guess have to check all the screws are tighten from time to time.

    I have no knowledge to tune the PID settings, and the auto tune feature seems failing me, so can some owner of this gimbal share with me the default PID setting?

    You would be stupid to ever dare to use the cheap wall charger with their cheap unprotected batteries... If you value your safety and your house.

    I want to know if the 65mm batteries are button top or not. They haven't replied to my email where i questioned the safety... Especially in a multicell arrangement like this..

    Seriously... If you're getting this.. Get branded batteries.. A good charger too with built in cut off..an cc/cv charging... Such as nitecore i4 or d4 etc

    @Sph1nxster

    What kind of response you want, may be I could help?

  • Sph1nxsterSph1nxster

    No response from Came and I'm not buying batteries that won't work like the ones I already have bought.

    Very disappointed in the roll out of this product.

    Looking forward to seeing some test footage from those of you that have them now... there's still only that one video online from what I can tell...
