6. Connect the battery to the main controller and receiver, and check that RC_PITCH input
receives data in the “Realtime Data” tab (slider should be filled blue and reflect stick
movement).
Now you can control camera PITCH from your RC transmitter from -90 to 90 degrees.
If you are not satisfied with the speed of movement, adjust the “I” setting for PITCH in
the “Basic” tab.
Experiment with SPEED mode to determine if SPEED or ANGLE mode is best for your
application.
7. Connect and tune the ROLL and YAW axes the same way, as required.
STEP #7:
TEST THE GIMBAL IN REAL-WORLD CONDITIONS
If your gimbal is attached to a multi-rotor aircraft, connect the controller to the SimpleBGC
GUI software application and turn on the multi-rotor motors. Check the vibrations on the
camera by using the Realtime Data tab / ACC raw data. Try to decrease the level of
vibrations using soft dampers.
NOTE: Brushless motors provide faster reaction than traditional servos but less torque. Depending on
your installation, it may be difficult for the motors to fight against wind and prop-wash. If you are
developing the multi-rotor aircraft frame yourself, try to avoid this influence by lengthening the motor
arms, tilting the motors away from center, or placing the camera above the props. Also, keep in mind that
deflected airflow, when moving at high speeds, can affect the gimbal.!
