You are right Joshua ...
well, this gimbal have a serious CENTER problem.
The cam have a HIGH OFFSET space in PITCH/ROLL AXis.
The lens are not centered in this axis.
This is a problem to make a video.
Look at OLD professional gimbals and you can see that the lens are ever centered in axis.
I worked 15years in big television station in my city then i know some tricks to make a good movies.
That roll axis is great, as long as you are not looking down...
Actually, I'm not even sure this is "compatible with APM" because the calculations are done such that tilt is a child or roll, as is typical of most gimbals? This has roll as a child of tilt. Subtle difference, but an important one.
eduardo,
It's here (I think) --
I see an arm that I think can move the roll plate
BTW, where are the ROLL axis?
I not see any mechanics for roll in this picture.
I think that for the gear reduction, not all gimbal are fully compatible with APM
WHAT IS "roll axis compatible with APM".
Way ROLL axis of other gimbals are not compatible with APM ?
