  • Righty o, I'm just having a look here at the goodluckbuy

  • gimbal, which I have just fitted to the Phantom here, now

  • there's a few

  • little problems

  • you have to deal with when you're fitting this thing

  • one of them is, not really that hard, but

  • getting these rubber dampers and you see that

  • going through there. Use a piece of string

  • to pull, a loop of string to pull those through

  • ..those ones there. Second problem:

  • the power of for the gimbal. What I did

  • was

  • I use the auxiliary power inside the Phantom

  • and I just took the power leads

  • from the gimbal here, ran them in through the top the Phantom

  • through the leg and solder them

  • onto the spare power lead

  • with a bit of shrink wrap over the top

  • then the

  • Control Board, connecting up the control board of the gimbal

  • I figured it out, you see

  • there's one orange wire there

  • you can see it

  • and that orange wire runs

  • inside and goes straight into the receiver

  • the Futaba receiver

  • I don't know what all those other

  • pins are for

  • you just need that one single wire and I figured the best way it was not to put

  • it on to the

  • the Naza - just reading what other people have done

  • - I just put straight onto the Futaba receiver

  • on channel eight - even though I've got the S-Bus connected

  • for the Naza, it doesn't seem to interfere with it so you put the

  • the pin into channel 8, then you go into this

  • and you

  • program it so that channel eight is controlled by

  • this knob here, which is LD, also known as the Larry David

  • knob. Probably "Left Dial"

  • so now when I plug it in and turn it, as I

  • will demonstrate, then LD

  • changes the pitch on the gimbal which I haven't tried out yet

  • now the third thing was

  • this this is my video cable

  • for the GoPro, and it took me

  • a bit of mucking around to get it to get in there

  • I didn't think it was gonna fit, but

  • a little bit work with the Dremel,

  • and worked. It fits. Just.

  • like that

  • so now video, that's also powering the GoPro.

  • Theres my battery, which I modified so that it would

  • fit.

  • then this balance lead

  • plugs into, there's not much room

  • here is there, plugs into there

  • and that's the power for the OSD

  • which also owns ends up powering the GoPro

  • I can run 'em all.

  • So if I could give you a quick demo

  • never forget to turn that on first!

  • the gimbal should come to life

  • takes about 10 seconds

  • there it is. Did you see that?

  • and then

  • Let me just get that in the picture there

  • and then here's the Futaba, by turning the dial

  • That's about it.

  • so yeah the

  • programming on the ahh

  • Futaba, you just go into

  • Link, then Function

  • page two

  • and then you assign channel eight

  • to LD which is written on the screen

  • and once you've done that, then you're up and running

  • and you don't use the Naza gimbal. You don't need to use the Naza gimbal

  • control. I've turned that off.

Righty o, I'm just having a look here at the goodluckbuy
