In the last post we finished building the hardware of the Beholder Lite Brushless gimbal. it is time to wire it up and understand how to install it on the Phantom.
The guys at TeamRebelDesign.com was kind enough to send me a review copy of their new "Beholder Lite" brushless gimbal. To save shipping cost the gimbal arrive in a few parts which you can assemble in less than 30 minutes. The build-quality is outstanding and the packaging the nicest I have seen on a brushless gimbal so far. My initial impressions are sky high, but only building the gimbal and taking it for a test flight will reveal the truth.. is its beauty for real or only skin deep? Read on for the gory details.
Walkera have been releasing cool new RTF - Ready To Fly - FPV "toys" and radios with build in video screen for flying these FPV devices. the biggest problem. particularly with the smaller versions, is the short reach of the video link. FIX this by modifying the radio to use external video antennas.
In this post, I give basic instructions for upgrading the video antenna on your F4 or F7 FPV radio so you can fly further with clear video.
