3 axis gimbals for Mobius - yaw axis is useless.

Oct 17, 2019

At 39€ it is a good deal even if the yaw is not controllable via the radio. You must lock it and desable the follow-up function.

Excellent product. Can be made to work with the Mobius Mini for a very lightweight setup

Mar 13, 2018

I used this gimbal on a lightweight 320mm drone using a Mobius Mini instead of the Mobius. If you want video out from a Mobius Mini for FTP you will need to replace the video cable in this gimbal because the Mobius Mini uses a USB Mini 10 connector, (not the standard USB mini 5), for video out. The lighter weight required the gimbal PIDs to be changed, (lower values for P), but the lower weight of the Mobius Mini should help the responsiveness of the gimbal. I have a You Tube series that explains how I used this gimbal on a 320mm HD camera drone based upon a stretch Martian 255 frame. The series includes some video footage of this gimbal and the Mobius Mini in action. Search You Tube for "320mm HD Camera Drone from Martian 255".
The gimbal performs extremely well with the Mobius Mini and the light weight allows it to be used on a very small drone. Highly recommended and amazing at the price. If you would like more information please contact me at oldanglian@gmail.com

Good entry level 3 axis gimbal for Mobius camera

Jan 10, 2018

I had mine for some time now and got to fly and use it a bit. Although it's made mostly of plastic, it's fairly good quality plastic. The control board is an actual AlexMos board, so no cheap clone to give you unpredictable performance when you least expect it.
Needless to say it fits perfectly on the Nova Pro, although since I'm using the retractable landing gear, not retracting at the moment since I actually need them to attach my VTX onto something and the legs are just perfect for this, the gimbal fits a bit tight on the bottom board and covers most of the connector pins so much that I cannot plug my micro-USB anymore but that's a minor annoyance since I have my 433MHz telemetry to connect to the drone, so no big deal.
It came fairly well calibrated, although the follow mode was deactivated but after tweaking a little bit I have it working just fine. It's not an exact plug&play but almost. I tried both in a free spinning yaw and with the follow mode for the third axis and I can say with pretty good confidence that the follow mode is more useful and intuitive whereas the free-yaw mode does have some benefits, especially if you switch to speed control rather than position control on the knob that you select for the yaw axis. The roll axis I left opened, with only the stabilization provided by the gimbal. So if you switch to speed control for the yaw axis then you'll probably need to mount an FPV camera as well just to make sure you know which were you'r going because the speed control or the non-follow mode will leave you wondering which way am I going and this can be disorienting.
The gimbal motors do get hot during stationary testing but it's never the case when flying.
Overall I'm rather pleased and surprised that it works, the footage is almost professional-looking, all it's left is the operator's experience.

I think this is a excellent product. The board is a valid Basecam board, not a clone. It is very easy to update and recalibrate. Yes, the firmware is several versions back but it functioned perfectly out of the box. You really don't need to update. I was interested in having it function as a 2 axis gimbal (static yaw) and achieved that easily by downloading the management software and then disabled the Yaw motor in advanced settings. I then taped the yaw motor so it wouldn't move. Additionally, I ordered this from China and got it with DHL express in 4 days! I live in small city in California. This wasn't a fluke because I liked this gimbal so much I ordered a second one two weeks later to modify it for my other camera, a Runcam, and it arrived in 3 days. I'm not kidding. I already have the Turnigy 2 axis gimbal and this 3 Axis gimbal is a MUCH better deal and MUCH EASIER to program and update. Highly recommended in my opinion if you have a Mobius.

This is a good product from a hardware quality point of view, but it requires a lot of work and expertise to get it to function. As delivered, it has old firmware, which you can update reasonably easily using the small paper instructions. After that, to get it to function as a 3 axis gimbal, you need to download the gimbal controller manual (which is hard to understand) and spend a lot of time on rcgroups forum and trying things out to make it work. My unit initially would only work as a 2 axis gimbal but after much work, it now functions as a 3 axis gimbal in an inverted configuration. Hobbyking: this is another product where just a bit more work would make it a "5 crown" product. Write a proper manual, show how to set it up as a simple 3 axis gimbal using the software, and then refer people to the expert board manual for anything complicated, and you have a great product.
