If you do not want integrated control with the Solo radio, look here: https://vp-systems.eu/ You can get a lot of remote functionality from their CAM remote product—not just remote triggering.

Nice work Rob! I hope those shots of the military jets were not taken with your Solo! ?

Rob: thanks for leading on this, much appreciated. If I could, what is the model number on that servo? I am beginning to experiment with them for my Sony. Jim

awesome. the order will be placed soon.

Jimloss: any feedback on this servo? If you give it a thumbs up, I will place an order.

I have the madhacker tester. Questions on the readings: 1. on screen 4, what does the "Status" reading number indicate? # dec? 192 dec seems to be a common reading but one of my bad batteries has a 16608 reading and I have no clue what this is telling me. 2. on screen 5, the Lowest V Record...

unfortunately, the seller of that mini breakout board seems to be out of business. Mini Breakout Board for 3DR SOLO https://www.facebook.com/1123974891058822/posts/are-you-tired-of-having-to-slice-your-3dr-solo-gimbal-cable-to-add-a-third-party/1522847681171539/ I contacted a custom cable...

thanks much. In my case, would it be possible to use that Pin #2 for powering BOTH my camera remote control device AND the servo on the gimbal? The remote device draws very little and would never be used at the same time as the tilt servo.

I am in the process of designing a simple 1-axis (tilt) gimbal for a Sony mirrorless camera for use on my Solos. Will use a yet-to-be-selected servo to tilt the camera on the gimbal. Am curious about wiring options for such a tilt servo. Must I tap into the mainboard or can I use the existing...

thanks, I will give that a try and report back. You indicated in your gimbal description that you had the option of powering your camera gimbal either off the mainboard or from the gimbal cable. If you choose to tap into the gimbal cable, which pin/wire would you use? The gimbal cable...

Question on Gimbal Wiring Options: I am only interested in enabling a new Tilt servo (my shutter is already taken care of) on a yet-to-be-built Sony camera tilt mount/1- axis gimbal. @makatanav indicates that a New TILT servo needs to be soldered to the Solo mainboard on Pin14 IO-CH6/PWM6 to...

Thanks, please do test and let me know what you conclude. It may make sense to stick with the 16mm prime pancake lens with the gimbal and leave the zoom for a fixed mount. I rarely use the zoom on the 16-50 lens anyway and shoot at 16mm most of the time with the Sony. The pancake lens is...

How do the linked servo and expander/stretcher look? Will order the parts tomorrow if these will work.
