X-GYRO 1000 is a two axis head tracking system, based on G sensor technology, designed for tracking complicated three-dimensional motion like head movement and so on, it can also be used on the areas of controlling drones and robots, transferring three-dimensional motion signals from hands, head of human to corresponding movement system on RC model, drone or robot. The basic version of X-GYRO 1000 is specially designed for RC models with FPV(First Personal Version), it can be used perfectly with main stream transmitters or to be co-operated with wireless high frequency modular independently. It can transfer the movement signals to transmitter, and the transmitter can send out signals of head movement or position of head( on two axis), so that the real synchronization can be realized when screen on the goggles displayed video pictures, users can look around as if he were inside the RC model. Since it is compatible with transmitters in todays market, it is easy and straight forward to use. Its best advantage is that there is no need to have any fixed reference object to check and measure the inflection position of RC model, and no drift at all when it is in a stationary state compared with other products that need to make use of very complicated reference facilities or manual controlled transmitters. Specifications: Power: 8V to 12V DC power supply. Some transmitters, especially those FUTABA ones, can supply power directly by trainer connector. (ex. T9Z, FF9C). Some transmitters cannot supply power to X-GYRO, for example 14MZ and 12FG. The simplest solution is to use an extra battery for those RC transmitters. The connector is already included in package. Size: 25mmX35mm Weight:20g Range for measuring: +-90 degree/second rotational speed movement.
Default Setting: Channels: X axis- channel 7 Y axis-channel 8 Detective range G45 degree
I got one a while back, works with Hitec Eclipse 7 (72mhz) But now I use it with my Turnigy 9x (2,4ghz) You will need to re-locate the reset button to the transmitter because the drift is really annoying and you will be constantly resetting it. I wasn't impressed. I have the round connector spare if anyones interested. RC Groups - Headspin
Does anyone have the Hitec/ Futaba Round connector they would sell me? I bought the ppm injector for my Optic 6, but will be using a Fatshark M.I.G. head tracker.
If your TX supports PPM input from external source - you can. Using the setup of the headtracker itself, you set the desired channels for PPM output of the headtracker, and using your TX you set the coorecponding transmitter channels for headtracker use.
I did a lot of research on the internet and in the manual of the transmitter. but I cant see if the MX-16 IFS supports PPM output, can someone verify this for me?
This tracker outputs simple PPM signal. All you need to do - is have three wires: PPM* Power(note, it works on 8V and up)* and ground. So, according to this - you can simply solder the required adapter. P.S. I myself changed the stock cable for much, MUCH more flexible cable from some old headphones, and thrown away the stock black enclosure, used some heatshring wrap, and it's perfect and small to fit nicely onto my googles.
HELLO
IS THIS GYRO USEABLE WITH 14CH G3 RECEIVER?
I HAVE IMMERSION HEAD TRACKER AND I CAN NOT USE IT WITH G3 RECEIVER. MY RADIO 12Z?
ALREADY THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST.

Hello. I am new to this head tracking technology but i was wondering if this unit can work with Hobby King 2.4Ghz 4Ch Tx & Rx V2 (Mode 2). I am using a hi end 7 channel TX/RX to control my model and i have an old Hobby King 2.4Ghz 4Ch Tx & Rx V2 sitting on the self for ages. I would like to put it to a good use and make something of it. This 4 channel transmitter has a 6 pole round socket at the back that i used it to connect it to my PC when i was training on the simulator. It served its purpose and now it is sitting on the self (4 channels are too few for my today's needs) but it should be more than enough for a head tracking system. So anyone knows if this HobbyKing X-1000 is gona work with this Hobby King 2.4Ghz 4Ch Tx & Rx V2 ?? I think it will require an external battery but in general it looks like it will work. Can someone verify this for me?
yes works fine, you need to connect the red and black to the transmitter battery (easiest to solder to the board inside the case. the , - are at the bottom and then the signalling wire white to the second pin from the left on the buddy input. if you search google for turnigy 9x head tracking there are lots of photos on rcgroups website on how to modify it easily
I have bought one of these but can't get it to work with a Futaba 6EX FASST Tx. Anyone successful? I'm using the recommended HK PPM Signal Mixer ver B and an OrangeRx 8ch receiver (to use ch 7&8 for pan&tilt). Lights flash as expected and I've been through the setup process, but I can't get any servo movement with x-gyro movement.
missed the polarity while plugging this device. have to replace 2 electronic keys. They are marked as 8B 0*, the last number is impossible to read. could somebody advice the replacement, or provide the last number at least?

Great tracker, I have one of the magnetic based ones but it has the limitation of having to face magnetic north to work but it also has no drift. The X1000 is easy to set up, I am using it with a Futaba 7C. It was easy to change the default channels from 7 and 8 to 6 and 7. An instruction manual in English can be found here www.link

Works very well for Head Tracking. Using it on a 9C with great success. I removed the little push button centering switch for a wire harness attached at base of radio. Now I can reset position with one finger and no need to reach over your head.

There is no Manual enclosed. Allthough in the Reviews you can find a link to a PDF, this does not help you too much, if you don't have a Futaba Transmitter. What first looks like a Multiplex Plug on the Product image is just another Futaba plug and *not* MPX-Compatibel (at least not for RoyalPro). If you don't want to Blow your circuit's better search for more Infos on how to make this work with a MPX Transmitter (I didn't find much yet)
This product is good for FPV. I use it with a MPX Royal EVO and MC 4000 without any problem. please, tel the factory that all users haven't only Futaba Tx because connectors included in package are only for Futaba ! So I build myself a special connector for MPX Tx , and now all is right. Thank you HK for the good price .
