Awesome how you finding the FPV experience? Its addictive isn’t it :grin:

Steve, does the gimble for the fpv camera auto adjust? I’m seeing the props go up and down.

From what I’ve seen you have a gimbal wheel on the controller to move it up and down. Looks like it keeps it to what ever angle you set it to no matter what angle the drone is at :+1:t2:

It was fun, but was so nervous as this was my first flight didn’t get to enjoy it.

It is a 1 axis vertical gimbal Karl so I think depending what mode you’re in it will tilt up and down automatically

Yes it does in normal and sport mode it keeps the horizon. You can switch it off if you want to to in the settings.

There is also a 3 position switch (RHS behind right stick) that is factory set for:
Top = upwards, full gimbal tilt up
Middle = horizon
Bottom down, full gimbal tilt down

In manual mode it stays at the last angle you pointed it. Hence the 3 bottom control.

Also the wheel like any Mavic controls the full gimbal movement up and down. There is also a setting for gimbal speed with the wheel. But only slow, medium and fast.

I agree Alex.

I just can’t wait to be able to travel.
The job I do I am North South, East and West of the country. All the places I go to are in areas of very little population. Lots of farms and places in the sticks. So I see some wonderful places.
This was one of the little estates I work at.
This is near Glastonbury

Yeah. Must be a way…

I like the motion controller too. That shouldn’t be a problem to build.

If DJI are charging £149 it can surely only cost pennies.

Adapt a WiiMote ?

I’ve started on one already.

Wireless was an issue so I’ve incorporated a wired controller into a nice vest that holds my lipos.

Such a great idea. Can’t beleive nobody else has tried it. :man_shrugging:

Little bit of DJI FPV action here in Matti Haapoja’s video:

He’s a top shelf youtuber IMO.
