Great deal on a 3 axis gimbal with Alexmos controller

Just had to tell all of you about this $59.95 three axis gimbal deal on EBay:

This seemed like a great deal and looks to be identical to DYS Gimbal on Hobbyking which is $200.00.

I got one and quality appears excellent though I haven't tried to use it yet (I will probably get another.)

I'm planning on converting to a Storm 32 for a laser rangefinder scanner.

Apparently DSLRPros has moved on and is wholesaling them out.

I get nothing from anybody for this, but if you want a real 3 axis gimbal, this is the best deal you'll ever see.

Heres a link to the manual for the DYS: http://www.getfpv.com/media/wysiwyg/documentation/3AxisbrushlessGimbalManual.pdf

Heres a link to the Basecam (Alexmos) Home page: http://www.basecamelectronics.com/

And a link to download the appropriate 8bit Alexmos Gui: http://www.basecamelectronics.com/files/SimpleBGC_GUI_2_40b7.zip

And a link to download the Alexmos manual PDF file: http://www.basecamelectronics.com/files/v10/SimpleBGC_manual_2_4_eng.pdf

(This does include the Alexmos 3rd axis expansion board.

Best regards to you all,

Gary

Dan, when you updated the firmware, had you saved the settings from the factory? When I get into the office tomorrow, I can send you a config file. The default settings in the gimbal software are not the same as what is shipped from the factory.

Dan - Got mine sitting in the box still and haven't fiddled with it yet. Will have a look over the next couple of days and let you know.

I had a similar experience after updating mine. Solved by correcting the IMU orientation on the basic page.

Unit worked out of the box, needed a little turning works perfectly now. Just bought another!

I bought one from the second listing on Sunday and it arrived on Thursday, completely assembled! Just opened the box, I will test later today. As of Friday morning there are still some available. Thanks again for the heads up.

Gary, you've pretty much posted all the info we have. I want to try one with a Storm controller as well, let me know how that works out.

Thank you for posting. Awesome deal.

Hi All,

Here is the updated EBay link for the current batch of the 3 axis gimbals.

I would suggest if you want one sooner rather than later.

Best,

Gary

Hi Mike,

Thanks for letting us know about the additional ones.

I just ordered a second one.

These seem a really excellent value, especially for a true 3 axis gimbal.

Is there anything you can tell us about these that might be of value?

I have already included all the information I could find that seemed relevant.

Best Regards,

Gary
