Hi all,
I am curious about the option in the mission planner to "Point Camera Here" (Right click on the map under flight data). I am assuming that it will, using your gimbal, point the camera at the specified point in space regardless of the orientation of the copter. I have a few questions about it but I cannot seem to find any documentation about it. I've read the camera gimbal sections in the manual but they don't talk about this feature.
1. My main question/concern, is that I want tarot gimbal to do the stabilization but the APM controlling where it's pointing.
2. Is a 2D gimbal sufficient to the this feature and use the copter itself to control the yaw?
3. Is it reasonable to power the gimbal off the flight battery?
Thanks,
Ryan

I'm curious if you were successful. I've been playing with this with my Photohigher gimbal, occasionally, but have not yet succeeded either.
A2: Yes this is implied after all the legs of a copter will eventually get in the way if a gimbal yaws about.
A3: Most gimbals like 12v or a 3S LIPO, while its often better to use a 4S to power the motors.
