Smoooth Gimbal Controller

[hexacop]

Gestern hat Quadframe seinen Smooth Gimbal Controller offiziell zum Verkauf freigegeben.
Das ist wohl eine sehr gute Alternative, wenn man noch nicht auf den Brushless Zug aufspringen möchte und seine bestehende Kamerahalterungen weiter verwenden möchte.
Die Stabilisierung sieht sehr gut aus und es sind Optionen eingebaut die sonst noch keiner bietet, der Preis von 200€ ist auch im erträglichen Bereich.

Basics:

- external IMU (3-axis MEMS gyro and accelerometer),
- 8 PWM outputs (50/100/200/400Hz selectable),
- 4 PWM inputs (8 channels in PPM mode),

Interesting futures:

- during fly profiles switching,
- 3 to 1 video switch (high speed, low glitch switching). You can connect up to three cameras -
for example small CCD, GoPro, main camera like Sony CX-730 and choice during the fly which
signal you want to see,
- infrared trigger (experimental learning capability) for camera shutter control including interval photos,
- automatic panorama tool (with 3-axis gimbals),
- reed relay (galvanic isolation, high speed),
- and much more...

Controller can working in two user-selectable modes:

- with IMU on frame. Very easy to setup, not means worse.
Sometimes results are even better than in second mode, especially with cheap gimbals,
- with IMU on gimbal plate. For advanced users. You can change every parameter (PiDs etc),
In the box:

- controller board,
- IMU in housing, piece of two sided, self adhesive foam, two I2c wires - 30 cm and 45 cm long,
- a choice of wires (50cm long), main power wire, for cameras, IR LED, external status LED etc,
- external LED set: LEDs board, transparent heat shrink tube,
- IR LED,

Every controller and IMU are tested (few times) before packing.

Im Manual wird gleich "Tacheles" geschrieben. Finde ich sehr, sehr gut. Nur leider werden die wenigsten das lesen:

Zitat aus dem Manual
"
For whom the controller is intended?
If you fly multicopter or other RC model, if you ha
ve an experience in pilotage, if you can make
correct movie, without vibrations etc, if you have
patience to read the manual, if you can solve
technical problems alone - this controller is for you.

It helps to improve the quality of movies offering
many additional features like camera shutter
control, switching signals from several video camer
as etc.

For whom the controller is not intended?
If you are beginner pilot and have a problem with p
ilotage, your movies are full of vibration and
shocks, you can't operate your model smoothly, don'
t have the basic skills modeler, you don't know
how the Tx/Rx (BEC, servo etc) is working, you don'
t have the patience to read the manual like this -
this product probably is not intended for you.
Remember, that our controller isn't "ready to fly"
- before using it, it's necessary to read the manual
and to spend some time setting the proper parameter
s of the controller.
If you don't have enough time or patience, DON'T BUY IT!

What we DO NOT promise
We don't promise a magic.
This controller is the electronic system, not a mag
ic wand. If your movies are full of vibration and you
can't operate your model smoothly, movies done with
gimbal and controller will be probably even
worse. Support
As producer, we don't offer direct technical suppor
t by phone, Skype, e-mail etc.
If you have any problems look for the solution in t
he manual, or discussion forum. Last if you can't
