Ya I think the I1 would be different then the I2 - different camera/gimbal. My set up appears perfectly balanced without power. After more practice I've noticed sometimes it does not drift and sometimes it does. You DEFINITELY need to auto calibrate before each flight IMO - at least so far...

I've recently purchased an Olympus 45mm lens and it's been tough. The FOV is harder to judge, and every movement is amplified, but I can get over this with practice. However, he biggest issue for me is my camera seems to drift down and to the right in flight. Not really sure if this is a...

I too am struggling with the yaw to slow it down. Not using the hand held, but it's too fast period...unless in tri-pod mode. Any suggestions?

Super good info, now I totally get it. Thanks a ton.

Holds safe? Also, Am I correct on how to determine balance - eyeball and watch for gimbal movement?

So speaking from experience, do you basically just eyeball it from the side to see if its level and the gimbal doesn't droop over the course of a few seconds? You know what would be so convenient to counter weight. If you could just use tiny magnets and add to the back to balance. Of course I...

Yep that's it. Thanks as well to all the input here from everyone. Really looking forward to shooting the 45mm. Good luck jkerrins.

Dang, and I just purchased one. Oh well good to know. Thanks!

Cool so if I'm following correctly the balance ring won't be required?

Ah, gotcha...thanks! Do you know how will this affect balance? Will I be ok with the balance ring, step up, and a filter?

Do any of you have recommendations on filters to use with the Olympus 45mm lens. It appears to be a 37mm thread size. I commonly use Polar Pro PL filters but of course they are not available in 37mm.

Ya, I'm sticking with auto focus for now. So far my results haven't been very good with manual.

Thanks for posting that jkerrins, I'm looking at the same situation. Since I've never had to balance a lens out, please answer if this is this correct, or if not, why: Once you power the bird up and calibrate the gimbal, after adding the filter (if you decide to) you need to add enough...

Very cool thanks for the info. I found a you tube video that showed its function as well. Definitely something to consider.

I was looking to PM you about a product but I'm new to posting in the forum and unclear where to submit. Is that the same as start a conversation? Thanks
