Three months ago I didn’t know what a gimbal was. Three months ago I wouldn’t have any clue as to why I’d need “quadcopter landing gear extensions.”
Today both of those items are installed…
The gimbal, a device which levels the camera, extended beyond the standard landing gear on my DJI Phantom. I found some extra feet made on a 3D printer from a Canadian guy on eBay and they arrived, albeit late, today.
The next step is to get power to the gimbal unit.
Any new shots or videos? I am working on my setup.
The latest is that I’ve now got power to the gimbal. It was supposed to be setup ready to fly, but it doesn’t work at all. There are some lights on the board indicating an error, so now I have to reset and configure it via software, which they say is Mac compatible but I’m finding that to be tough to get working. I’ll probably have to boot my mac in windows mode and try it from there.
