The German car oil filter replacement experience is so relatable😄! Thank you for this video!

Of course 😂 because I finished mine today. Jb, your servo tab vid helped out huge. Now got channel forwarding working and taking a first flight tomorrow!

Pretty interesting indeed! Thanks for the tutorial, Joshua! 😃 I've never thought I'd see a servo gimbal that smooth! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Medlin is the best , I have all projects from him

to avoid servo skipping because the move is too long you can limit it in inav to some 70% of the servo movement, dont know exact number of percentage, but you just reduce the default 100 in the inav servo mixer to something lower

Got one on my bench just need to make time to finish the build. Thanks for the video I will commit to making this happen soon.

Your German mechanic is on point

Back when the ZMR was the drone to fly we had a server tilt camera on it with a 3D printed mount and controlled by a servo output that would keep the camera level as the drone flew. Never connected it to head tracking like this tho.

Hahaha… I’ve owned a couple of Audi and BMW and that working on a German car was bang on. 😂😂👏👌

Nice Camera Butter shirt!👌

Back in the days we had 3 wires for the fpv camera, and you could just cut them and make them longer :)

thats cool! but i'ld adjust servo endpoints : ) you are right about german cars lol.. escpecially the multi link axles from audi / vw pain in the ass, but they drive beautiful

Ive thougt of this allot, and i think its a pretty big deal not underwelming at al I mainly fly in simulator, and being able to switch between a big angle and a small angle for slow flying and hovering would mean a ton off difference Being able to controll this with your head seems perfect, as controlling it with switches seemed to suck

Nice sir ❤❤❤

Great video. Seems like it would be crazy hard to fly though except in angle mode maybe

lol, i made this same concept 7 years ago. Different tilt design but same concept. It was more about having a variable camera tilt angle for racing. It worked okay. Cool concept to use it for filming.

This is what the dji avata 2 wants to be

I designed a mount to install the gopro/o3 medlin gimbal on an Apex evo LR 7" :)

First, pretty nice gimbal setup, I use a pan setup on my wing which is awesome.

this video is great, finally a guide on how to do servos...does this work with betaflight too?

Hello guys since this is by far the most educated and smartest FPV community I would love to get a little help from you. I have the DJI Goggles Integra and I‘m looking to get some more range out of it. Do I need to replace the antennas on the goggles and my quads (Geprc Darkstar20, Mark5, Moz7) or is it enough if I for example just replace one of the two and which would you recommend? Thanks for any advice or tips you may let me know of🙏

This is the one thing the DJI fpv potato can do that makes it useful for capturing action sports. Still a drone that distentegrates when it touches anything tho

Bro just invented the wheel, lets wait till he invents tilting motors

It's been done a long time ago

JB there is an additional thing you can do with INAV while using a tilt camera. Instead of setting the servo to an RC channel, you can set it to the tilt gimbal function, that way it would behave as a stabilized gimbal (only in pitch ofc). Additionally, you can set the CAMSTAB function into the modes tab to select when the camera will automatically adjust the tilt. I'm guessing that if you combine all that with rocksteady, you can reach something close to an avata. I've been wondering how well this would work, could you perhaps make a quick video on it to show to the ppl? Thanks for the work you do for the community!

Nice setup and nice shot, but not new, I have done something similar 3 years ago on a Hyperglide frame.

"like working on a german car" is awesome

Joshua, I assume you'd want to mix in a "GIMBAL PITCH" input along with the camera pitch override from the TX so that by default if you hold your head still the camera angle will stay fixed regardless of how the quad pitches, but if you tilt your head up and down it will "add" that to the stabilized pitch input to let you look up and down? Could even put CAMSTAB on a switch to enable the stabilization in flight?

pls check out the packet rate: 64 / 128-pos: The bit depth is dependent on the selected telemetry ratio. For a telemetry ratio of 1:2 and 1:4 these channels are 6-bit/64 pos. For all other ratios, these channels are 7-bit/128 pos. The 7-bit/128 positions is 12.5% the resolution of 10-bit, and 6-bit/64 positions is 6.25% the resolution of 10-bit. This may not be enough resolution for a head tracker but definitely enough for flight modes, flaps, gear, etc.

im definitely going to crash alot with that upgrade!

Try 3-axis rotation...radio controlled model planes and helicopters use these. Motion Sic has many dogfight videos on KZread using a 2 axis gimbal.

13:43 Ahhhh, bringing back my nightmares! First car was a '94 VW Golf. Literal step 1 of changing the oil filter: "Remove front clip." 🤬

It's a pretty chunky tilt gimbal, but I get it. I ran into the same problem with the mipi cable and ended up just going with analogue. So much easier.

Any quad copter with video telemetry is fpv by definition.

This reminds me of Motionsic, but they can both tilt and turn. Looks better imo. But dont know if it will fit a drone. They were more for FPV planes.

Thank you Uncle. I have followed, as in the video. where I soldered the line wire from the Runcham DVR's H/L pin to the M5 pin. and in the servo I selected it using the video that uncle made. but because I wanted to use the arming button together with the button to record video on the mini DVR, I selected the servo, namely the RC Chanel 5 input and it was detected. However, the current problem is that the H/L button cannot record fully. Oh yes, previously I used a Radiomaster Pocket Remote and I tried input 10, namely the Play button at the bottom right of the Pocket Radiomaster Remote, but the problem remained the same, namely it couldn't record. My DVR has a blue flashing light indicating it is recording but there is no recording in the video file. are there any other settings in the servo?

1. What about Jello? Is soft mounting an option? 2. What about 360 camera? It would resolve the same problem by setting the focus in post

@Joshua Bardwell next video: how to make drop system for fpv to shoot somesing... 🤣

That's crazy! For you it's possible to mount INAV and this Gimbal on a GEPRC Cinelog 35 V2? I read on the gimbal website that they've a versione compatible with the Geprc, but i have absolutely to use INAV? And so, i can install INAV too?

Congrats, you made an Avata! =) Nah, this is really great though!

The LDX-218 Servo has a stalled current of 2.4 to 3amps. The Matek 5v regulator has a continuous load current of 1.5 Amps (Max.2.5A 5s/minute). Should we be at all worried about that?

I've already built something like this. But I just wasn’t smart enough to get the power through the battery. Well, I connected it to LED contacts. Which, in principle, is the same thing as a PWM motor connector. p.s. What's going on? You don't need to buy Avata 2!

welcome to fpv

I've always tried to figure out how DJI does it with their FPV drone. They use a slim type (pancake/gimbal) motor that has a magnetic sensor and probably has a dedicated module to control it. There are only a few manufacturers who sell gimbals but it's servo based and for fixed wings.

Camera drones and cinelifters use brushless gimbals as opposed to servos, which as you say requires a separate control module. Check out the SIYI A2 for a single-axis brushless gimbal camera, or the SIYI A8 for a three-axis brushless gimbal camera.

Hey @bardwell... why hasn't anyone come up with a 180 degree camera "fish eye view" that has processing on the headset to generate the head tracking? We certainly have the processor power to do it, and it would be much more robust than servos. It would also be fast. You could theoretically move your head and have instant feedback like VR. I've suggested it many times and the only drawback would be "forcing less than HD by only taking a portion of the 180 degree image... less than HD" but that doesn't sound like a very solid argument.

I think using a fish eye view type camera would require too many compromises to make it worth doing. I think you're much better off physically moving the camera. "the only drawback" Really, you think that's the only drawback? Fish eye lenses have all sorts of problems. The image quality would be horrible compared with normal action cameras.

Is there a sim for that gimbal setup?

Wasn't that the guy who put a gimbal on a whoop 😁

I built something exactly like this in 2015. I bought the Attitude V2 since it was the latest Sh*t back then. I think I had a DJI Naza on a 450 flame wheel!😝😝😝 Anyone remember the frame? It worked okay but I constantly had to recenter the headtracker, since it was drifting. I would crash my 7inch if I used something like this today. How do you know what the drone is doing, while looking around???

For years, I never understood why quad pilots especially those of us that aren’t interested in freestyle don’t put the flight camera on a servo and a heading hold Gyro? That way, no matter how fast you’re going you’ll always be looking horizontally... It could of course be disabled with a switch on the TX.

I keep trying to point this out, and dumb people keep shouting me down, but if you put half of a 360 camera on the front of a quad, and just broadcast a small portion of view to the pilot, related to where the pilot is looking, you could effective make a FULL GIMBAL camera view without any moving parts. You don't need moving parts to make a full gimbal-style view. It can all be done with software and part of a 360 camera.
