I am not yet at "home" to pick it up. Maybe in another week. So I have still time to order other components if you guys find some to be incompatible
![]() The new video speaks for this type of stabilisation. I am not sure however I will fly this quad over people (I am sure I won't). 2kg from 10-20m on the head can do a lot of damage. Take care. |

Today I received a parcel from Lithuania, the contents look promising, letīs see if I can get this up an running.
Until now, I already built and flew quite a number of copter so far, I was not able to get that video-performance I would like to have, but I really love this idea to have some sort of physical stabilization. The plan is to build the quad with a Naza, and if everything works as ecpected and (if it is not getting too heavy) switch to WKM afterwards. ![]() best regards Ferdinand |

Hello guys,
Last week I come back from one of the biggest RC models expo/show Intermodellbau 2012 in Germany, Dortmund. There was many well-known firms such as JR, Multiplex, PowerBox, Horizon Hobby, Hitec, etc. presented their new products. Also there was possible to purchase a models of the necessary materials and components. One of the hall was flying show, it was held from Wednesday to Sunday and show program repeating 4 times per day. There was about 90 000 visitors. There was possible to see a Ecilop Easy demonstration flights. Also I had two small accidents. Fist one was, when I hit a plastic lamp with propellers. Fortunately Ecilop not fall down. Another accident was when my old battery connector pulled out from battery and Ecilop fall down from 4 meters. Well I can say, that landing skids is quite enough strong. ![]() Video:

right ho... made some progress with the Ecilop. Have it flying and have even recorded some OK (not perfect) video. A couple of useful notes for those who are building these:
It seems to me that you need to set up the tilt/roll servos directly with with flight controller gimbal controllers first, then independently of the FC, set up the two gyros (one at a time) before putting the whole lot together. Only doing things this way was I able to get things to work close to how they should. I think this detail needs to be added to the manual as it had me stumped for a while. Also, at this stage I am not sure that the Naza is a great controller for this gimbal. The output rate is a bit lacking, and results in a bit of a lag between when the drone moves and the gimbal servos react. The gyros might be able to compensate for this but I haven't got there yet... |

removal makes the motion of the camera smoother, but causes delays. Because of noises, the camera may get jerky on a regular servo gear. In case of Ecilop, a slightly noisy signal is better than a delayed one. On Ecilop, slight vibrations of the servo gear are not a big problem, since they are compensated for by inertia. Quote:
expensive options does exist. MG-930 servos have been tested and they work. In order to stop inciting people to buy cheaper options, I changed my equipment recommendations and updated the FAQ document. |
