Thought this might interest a few MiniQuad guys.
On my larger quad I have a 3 pos sw on my Taranis that has
1st position, fixed cam angle.
2nd position, fixed cam angle, stabilised.
3rd position, cam angle adjustable by pot on tx, stabilised.
Stabilisation done through the Naze32, Cleanflight or Baseflight both capable.
Works really well.

Re: Variable FPV Cam angle
I like that. Simple yet effective. I'll have to incorporate that into my next build.

Re: Variable FPV Cam angle
The CC3D has Servo Gimble stabilisation.
So all I need to do is plug in a servo to one of the spare motor ports
Then I don't need to touch any switches, it will just stay level
I may try it out.

Just fly it, over and over and over again.
You will get better.
I have been dabbling with FPV for well over a year but I wasn't geting anywhere until I got the MiniQuad and the Naze32.
With the bigger quads if you crash you have some repairs to do and it will cost, just like a heli.
Crash with most of the MiniQuads and you might have to replace some props.

+1 get out and fly the crap out of it. you will soon work out that these things are pretty indestructible apart from props.Stambo wrote:Or the pilot.Graham Lawrie wrote:I dont need the gimbal, i need the quad to stabalize:)![]()

Another top tip is record all your flights and watch them back to see where you have made mistakes and try to visualise what you where doing with you tx at the time, it's hard for the first few flights but things start to fall into place
