Waiting for this, it will make me buy a replacement gopro when it comes out

How to mount a QAV400G Gimbal to a QAV400 FPV Quadcopter

[Vass]

that's a really neat and quick install, great design

[brodjackella]

nice and neat but surely the 400 is a bush dodging quad so more to break in a crash..
gimbals for AV work...in my opinion........

Thats the point brod. When your bush dodging take gimbal off. When your ilming scenery and landmarks put it on. Saves carrying two quads around and different sized lipos

[brodjackella]

ah right,so great discipline needed for location and flying style then Dave

[MrBen]

IMO, no gimbal for filming fpv flights and gimbal for filming subjects, probably a small percentage of cross over in the middle

[MrBen]

Finally this has been released ( a month or so ago) and now that my 250 mini is getting all the bush dodging action I have ordered the qav400 gimbal so the qav has a new lease of life.

So what controller do I need guys?

Mine has Alex moss , was easy to set up, is that not what they recommend

There lots cheaper , than when I got mine , need to check mounting hole spacing for board and sensor

Some really pretty cheap ones on ebay , this seems to have all whistles mine has

I've got the EvvGC controller, it's cheap, 3d (although multi's only need 2D), easy to flash.
I works ok, but haven't used it enough to be able to offer any advice!

Half built a gimbal for a Mobious and shelved it. I'm not much interested in gimbals or fancy video so it'l stay on the back burner for a while I expect!

[MrBen]

Didnt really want to spend alex moss money, whats the controller everyone uses that can take the alex moss firmware?

[MrBen]

Well I ended up ordering this controller

Waiting for the postman now, hopefully be up and running within 2 weeks

did you watch the daily video on that ben? looked really nice, i know it doesn't apply to the qav but the 3 axis one with the yaw tracking looked really nice
