    Thank you. It worked perfectly and was easy. I bought my Phantom 3 cheap because of the camera missalignment. Neither seller or I knew that it was so easy to fix.

    I can only tell you, Great! ... I thought about it, but I did not dare until I saw your video ... I bought a secondhand advance and after calibrating the gimbal when I went to restart the drone it fell back down. I had to do it again and again, I was about to unbind the engine (but I did not dare) until you showed what to do ... thank you and new subscriber ... greetings from the VI region of O'Higgins, Chile

    Clint, in the last few seconds you talk about "when I took this off and stuck it back on"... In a frantic mess after mine dropped I popped mine back on trying to help. Since then I was unable to "stick it back on". What am I missing? How do you pry your pieces apart even after that little screw is removed? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    • @Team.Louish
      @Team.Louish  Před 3 lety

      Mine just kinda snapped on, kinda magnetic I think. It was so long ago, I can't fully remember, but on mine didn't even close all the way perfectly shut when it "snapped it back on". You can see the little gap. I'm not sure how that piece is supposed to stay on there. It just kinda snapped back into place.

    Hi, just curious, obviously you are turning the shaft but do you happen to know if the shaft is turning inside some sort of clamp or if the shaft is turning something else inside, at a guess, the gimbal arm?

    • @metalmikey2
      @metalmikey2 Před 4 lety

      @@Team.Louish It seems there might be a "magnetic sensor ring" on the shaft, it interacts with a sensor on the board. The ring might be glued to the shaft, twisting this ring wrt the shaft changes the 'rest' position of the shaft and therefore the gimbal wrt the board. Acetone might be a solvent for the glue. The ring is apparently very fragile so needs to be handled with GREAT care. As it is magnetic I am not sure whether it is a good idea to use steel etc. tools to move the sensor ring. There are a number of threads about this sensor ring on the phantompilots forum e.g. phantompilots.com/threads/p3p-camera-off-center.118727/

    To anyone here..is it possible to put a GoPro gimbal on a phantom 3 standard to replace the original gimbal?

    • @teamlouish
      @teamlouish Před 6 lety

      It would easily support the weight. I don't see why you couldn't.mount something like a gopro session gimbal on there, but I don't know how you would control where its pointing. Here is one you'd be able to figure out a way to mount: www.banggood.com/Tarot-TL3T02-T-3D-IV-3-Axis-Brushless-Gimbal-for-Gopro-Hero-4-SESSION-Camera-p-1090577.html
      There might even be a gimbal made specifically for the phantom 3 standard, but if not, there are a lot of gimbals out there that hold sessions or heros that are meant for drones. If you absolutely needed the ability to control the gimbal, you'd probably have to install a separate radio transmitter just for the new gimbal. But if you just wanted the camera facing forward and down slightly, you could position the camera before flight and then not need to control it at all.

    • @kodyblazer5802
      @kodyblazer5802 Před 6 lety

      Clint Decker - Thanks for that.. greatly appreciated..
      The GoPro gimbal I had actually ordered has a remote for positioning side/side, up/down and even an app which I haven't received to explore yet..
      I also have an existing hero 5 stationed under the back of battery of my phantom for continuous video instead of continuously positioning the quadcopter which is perfect...I had actually lost the camera only on my phantom, the gimbal and arm itself is perfectly fine..so now I'm thinking on putting my hero 3 with this new one because the video is way sharper than the original camera.
      Thank you kindly for answering my question and especially for your knowledge..happy new years and have a great day.

    • @Team.Louish
      @Team.Louish  Před 6 lety

      Keep in mind with your gimbal remote that you have, chances are that is a very short range remote. If you're flying anywhere far, you won't be able to use your included gimbal remote.

    • @kodyblazer5802
      @kodyblazer5802 Před 6 lety

      Clint Decker - That's what I was thinking and actually wondering myself and no mention of it that I've found..
      Considering I'm mainly using this phantom 3 for filming boating and quad'n trips, hopefully it'll do the trick with the new one... it'll be interesting to see it's limits of distance before no signal that's for sure..I might have to get a buddy to modify it.
      Still haven't arrived yet..but thanks for that.
