Nice bit of filming very steady shots with your setup,my Phantom 1.5 & zemuse gimbal is giving me problems with the excessive yaw, I have adjust the gains but weathers no good again to see if I fixed the problem.

[@moistfinger]

I have the original Phantom 1 I'm using the standard gain settings of: Basic: P 125% R 125% Y 100% V 100% Attitude P 125% R 125% My props are carbon fibre copies of original Phantom props (much stiffer). Motors have been upgraded to the T-Motor MN2214 Anti Gravity Phantom Upgrade Motors. Installed the upgrade board for Zenmuse Gimbal. I had nothing but trouble with my Zenmuse Gimbal and the tilt function going mad when looking straight down. Sent it back to DJI for repair, but it still came back exactly the same!! I bought a cheap (£70) no brand name gimbal to use while waiting for my other one to be returned and it has been fantastic . I'll be selling the Zenmuse. Slow is the key to steady shots. Rich.

Will I be let off any charges if I push this into Ilfracombe harbour? Just asking.

[@moistfinger]

Are you offended by it ? If so you should be fine 🤣🤣 . The UK is a crazy place right now.

[@sadies2820]

@@moistfinger yes I guess I do feel offended by it. I feel it is in a totally inappropriate place. Fine if it was outside a medical school or something like that. I worked as a theatre nurse all my life and maybe had enough of seeing people's innards but if I went to Ilfracombe for a pleasant seaside holiday I would not want to see this looming over the harbour. I can't imagine what children would make of it.I don't have a problem with your post and it's excellent footage of the sculpture. My sister and I had been disagreeing about it and I came to your post to get a good look at it. Not sure I could get it in the harbour by myself though 🤣

Nice video I did a recording of Verity on my channel recently. I wonder what the idea was behind this statue

[@moistfinger]

Thanks :-) I found this description of Verity. "It is meant to be a 'modern allegory of truth and justice'. The statue of Verity pregnant holding a sword aloft and standing on a base of legal books , she holds the traditional symbols denoting justice -- a sword and scales".

[@brucewilmot7950]

whats whith the color of the sture?

[@moistfinger]

+Bruce Wilmot Hi Bruce , It is a combination of Seagull c**p and oxidation of the bronze used for the sculpture.Bronze has a high copper content , so turns a greenish colour over time.

[@brucewilmot7950]

just like staue of libbardy usa

[@moistfinger]

Yeah , just like that.

Nice - thanks for posting this! My family and I go to Bideford every year at Easter and I've never known about this! Looks freaky! But would like to check it out next year when we're down there! :o)

[@moistfinger]

Thanks It's the first time I had seen 'Verity'. I've never had the time or good enough weather to visit before now. It's certainly worth a look.
