Tutorial: How to use FPV 3 Axis Gimbal for DJI Phantom GoPro

This 3 axis gimbal is designed to stabilize video footage from drones such as the DJI Phantom when using a GoPro 3 or 4. Ideal for makers and FPV enthusiasts who want to improve their aerial footage.

What you need

• DJI Phantom
• GoPro 3 or 4 (without camera)
• Brushless motor
• Battery
• Power cable
• Assembly tools

Steps

1. Install the GoPro without its camera on the gimbal, ensuring it is securely mounted.
2. Connect the brushless motors to the gimbal controller terminals, observing the correct polarity.
3. Connect the battery to the controller and check the power supply with a multimeter.
4. Configure the controller for the desired stability settings following the manual.
5. Mount the gimbal on the DJI Phantom, ensuring it is balanced.
6. Test the gimbal function in flight with a short low-altitude launch.
7. Adjust the stability settings as needed to optimize performance.
8. Verify the drone’s stability during flight, ensuring there are no unwanted oscillations or shakes.

Mini project

Create a short FPV video with your DJI Phantom and the GoPro 4 mounted on the three-axis gimbal. Focus on wide panoramas to highlight the effectiveness of the stabilization system.

Common mistakes

• Do not properly verify the polar curves of the brushless motors.
• An unbalanced mounting that causes oscillations during flight.
• Stability settings too aggressive or too moderate, compromising the performance of the gimbal.
• Power supply issues caused by an inadequate battery.
