Popular Post billyb_imp Posted August 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Got this DJI Osmo Mobile 3 gimble for use with my mobile phone after watching a few videos from @Fly In My Soup about ways to film / photograph trucks when they are moving, this follows my abysmal attempts to video our trucks over the past couple of weeks, still some work to do and also need to Improve my editing skills. Watch this space. I could probably also do with improving my fitness levels so I can keep up with the trucks on the trail 😂😂 Edited August 7, 2021 by billyb_imp Spelling mistake corrected 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch this space. I could probably also do with improving my fitness levels so I can keep up with the trucks on the trail 😂😂 Want a little tip to make it easier to keep up... Go get a selfie stick...a decent one not a Chinese amazon special one ....take the phone mount off the stick but leave the 3/8 bolt attachment on ...then on the handle end, bolt a loop of fabric to the end of it. Screw the gimbal onto the stick like you've done with your mini tripod...and set it to landscape mode not portrait. Now heres the trick...turn it upside down....and hook the loop of fabric over your arm like a shopping bag so you can still use your hands. The gimbal will go into inverted mode automatically as its upside down. Now you can walk along following your rc...and the phone will be at ankle height (perfect for scale videos) so it'll look like those slick scale videos that follow the truck at truck height and you still have use of both hands... Or you can do it like me and steer with your chin whilst holding a phone in the one hand and tx in the other...🤣🤣🤣👌 Edited August 7, 2021 by Fly In My Soup 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for doing the videos loads of valuable info, but I also need to practice more at getting in the right position Billy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ant.p Posted August 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2021 Payed a visit to Passionate about RC Traxxas shop in Sawbridgeworth today. Not exactly a postie, but a new servo for the Xmaxx all the same! looking forward to seeing what difference this makes. Can’t be worse than the standard one, the steering at the moment is pants. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCake Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I take it that it didnt come with connectors? They normally come with the battery with the 3rd connector in the middle being where the balance plug goes into. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
