I'm a big fan and supporter of open source multirotors but this is just too impressive to pass. Too bad it is super expensive and out of reach for most hobbyists. Just wanted to share this with the community and see what they have to say about the the frame, gimbal and about DJI in general.
it would be realy nice if we find the way how to control this nice little motors http://www.maxonmotor.com/maxon/view/content/

Emin: This is totally off topic, but since you mentioned servocity.com.
I stopped using them <period> after I discovered that they patented the use of sprockets on servos. That is slapping the whole robotics community in the face, and a obvious applications for r/c servos that required to ingenuity at all.

This can control dc stepper motors.There is schematic in download section for diy lovers.
GREAT....
Comment by Luc Maximilien on September 3, 2012 at 11:13pm A stepper motor is not smooth at all , it is quite heavy and generally it gives a lot of electric noise , so IMHO it would not be a good choice for a gimball.

great stuff Alex,can you give us more details?and also would you like to sell me one of this?how much,it does not matter if its just experimental i like it a lot.....
ok,i guess i will have to wait...i just read your russian blog....
Comment by Marooned on September 26, 2012 at 4:28am I've read the thread on blog by alexmos and it looks like he is using regular brushless motor but there is no info what ESC is needed to control the motor in such way. Do you guys have some clue? On photos it looks like some regular ESC but it could be flashed with custom firmware. For sure stock esc/motor won't work as a minimal PWM causes motor to do few rounds and we need to hold it and do some "microsteps".
Season Two of the Trust Time Trial (T3) Contest has now begun. The fourth round is an accuracy round for multicopters, which requires contestants to fly a cube. The deadline is April 14th.1287 members
