Thanks for showing me where to find gimbal calibration in the DJI Go app. Now that I've calibrated, the horizon in my videos will be level. Theory: it would be more accurate to shim the platform so that the motor shafts are level rather than the landing legs, because the Phantom could have one of its plastic legs or foam foot pads a tiny bit shorter or longer than the others. Assuming that would not visible to the naked eye, it would make the motors slightly off level when calibrating.
@Ben7seven78 жыл бұрын
+Dave Bellware You're welcome. And nah the plastic legs will be no difference in length provided they're not damaged. And any differences in the foam on either leg would be very subtle but you would need to check them for even wear. You can do it however way you feel is best. it you wanted to do it based on the motors you can put something on top of the motors and place a level on that and shim as needed till things are level then do your calibrations. Either way should be fine.

Hi, great video. When using add-on filters like ND or CPL, is it necessary to recalibrate? I have heard of gimbals not performing well with filters. Cheers

+TEEBEE Hi, I used it and it seemed to work okay. I see they changed some of the layout a bit but I have not gotten around to fulling delving into the newer updates of the app and it's changes. I will though soon, but again it did seem to work okay though, and my Phantom is currently on the 1.4 firmware, not the latest. I may even roll back to 1.3 firmware as I don't like some of the changes / restrictions in 1.4

I have a problem where when i turn my quad my gimbal rolls a bit, making the horizon slanted, but when i stop turning it slowly goes back into position. The only way I can fix this is by calibrating my gimbal in the settings before every flight, this is a little frustrating. Do you know any way of permamently fixing this? Would be a big help :) (IMU calibration already tried)

Hello! You seem to be one of the few who may be able to help me with my issue. I recently got my DJI Phantom 3 Standard drone. However when I try the test "Checking the electronics" nothing happens. I turn on the drone, everything looks fine. The camera moves, the red, yellow and green lights all comes on. I power up the remote control. I then pull down both joysticks and then in as the man in the tutorial video showed. Still nothing. Did I miss a step? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
@Ben7seven78 жыл бұрын
The motors won't start if there is an error state in the compass or IMU or both. Make sure you do an IMU calibration and when you compass calibrate do so an an interference free environment without a lot of metal around the Phantom. I did an indoor flight demonstration recently in a class room and there were some spots the phantom would not start the motors do to interference with the compass so simply moving a couple feet over fixed it and I could launch.

+Bobster986 re the inspire I'm interested to see what they come up with for an inspire 2. In my wish list would be dual cameras for the FPV that way if you have a second camera operator, the pilot can at least still have a front facing camera so they don't run in to things. Tho if I had to guess, they couldn't make an inspire 2 without it having the same front facing avoidance capability of the P4

billy toure ESC is electronic speed control, you probably need to send your phantom back to DJI for repair. Only thing you can try to see if it will help would be re flashing the firmware on to your phantom followed by rubbing all calibrations, IMU compass etc.

@Ben7seven77 жыл бұрын
Lisa Daughtridge if it just began malfunctioning out of the blue there could also be a physical defect with the electronics. Short of that you could try re flashing the firmware of the phantom followed by another IMU calibration.

Hello - how far does the gimbal rotate the camera left and right? I just set mine up and it doesn't seem to move more than half an inch.
@Ben7seven78 жыл бұрын
It's not supposed to rotate very far left or right, that function is mainly intended to smooth out the video when your turning. The only range of motion you babe actual control of is down and up which allows you to point the camera straight down
