The reason is he ROTATE DELIBERATLY to make the wire die.
The second circuit broken clearly human make it die in special way.

windboyz, everybody is thinking it, so somebody should say it...you should really consider hiring someone to take care of communication with English speaking countries. Little of your post makes sense. The parts that do make sense appear to attack the user...I can't think of an uglier, less professional approach.
 
Thanks the NEBULA ONYL COMPETITOR IN WORLD from CHINA write so long to be a expert to MISLEAD USERS.


So, the accused uses perfect English yet he is your Chinese competitor trying to sabotage units. Nice try, but doesn't fly.

The LX100 is light, so my guess is you won't have to push it near the roll arm/motor to balance it. You should be good there. That problem is bigger with heavier cameras like GH4 and A7.

I wouldn't worry about the yaw if you're careful, and are the only one using the gimbal. You can take off battery compartment easily to check. Also, you can look at wires going through handle and see if they're twisted.

One thing to keep in mind is that if the lens extends, or retracts a bit, even the lens cap, will throw off your pitch. In other words, after you learn to balance it with lens retracted, and lens cap on, you'll have to balance again with lens extended, cap off, etc. You'll see.

When the get the Nebula working, it is AMAZING! Will really make that camera come alive.

Hi! DJI guys from CHINA, Don't make ROMOURS for Nebula again......


On Nebula 4000 Manual Video, 13:54 clear show the ZOOM in or out, Do not need change balance in use.

Windboyz, it is a PHYSICAL FACT that the camera will change its balance when the lens move in or out. What you can say is the Nebula's motors are STRONG ENOUGH to keep the camera balanced when the weight of the LX100 changes. I DID NOT say the Nebula wouldn't work with the LX100, on the contrary, I said it would be great. What I did say was that balance is important. How can you not agree with that? You have not read what I say closely, or you have a bad interpretation. I am NOT trying to dissuade people from buying a Nebula. I AM TRYING to help them AVOID problems. I am only doing this because YOUR DOCUMENTATION is horrible!

It doesn't matter if the video shows the Nebula with the LX100. It doesn't show JUST HOW MUCH weight imbalance the Nebula can take before burning its motors. It doesn't tell you how long the battery would last if the camera is perfectly balanced with the lens at wide angle COMPARED to how long it would last if the lens is at zoom and putting straight on the motors.

I asked before and did not see an answer - but it might be lost in this thread... has anyone shot car to car footage? How did it perform? Links to any car to car driving around town type footage please?
 
Oh wow, now I'm less sure about buying from such a company. Not sure if it's just a language issue; the defensiveness is not too dissimilar to some ethnic Chinese companies I've worked with before.
 
I have tried everything I can think of, I have watched the tutorials and I have watched Dave's videos and I still can't get this too work. I am like 8 plus hours into this and not even close in my opinion.

I have got the camera to sit straight but does not do the 45 degree stay very well. I have the lower plate to the front hole not the middle. I tried the middle and the unit went kinda crazy.

So it stays somewhere steady but now, when I move my arm right the camera turns left and if I move my left the camera turns right... lol

Not sure how to fix that one ... any suggestions.

thanks

Anyone here using this gimbal successfully or can even remotely set the dang thing up and live in SoCal I am buying lunch, dinner or breakfast if you will help me balance this thing. I can get a four year degree but cant balance a gh4. I am banging my head against the wall on this one. We can even skip the lunch and I will just pay you. Serious!!! let me know.
thanks
(hope thats not against some forum rule or something :()

Looks kinda bad at first glance, then you realize that car in the horizon is rock steady while the camera car is bouncing all over. I'd like to see a shot through the windshield with no dash/steering wheel.

First, Filmpower sent me a message on Vimeo for me to take my video down, where I am a bit critical of the design. They have asked me to direct my questions to support@filmpower.com. I took the video down and am hoping they are going to get their act together and HELP the customer, not BLAME him :)

Jason, on the balancing. I struggled with this, and I think everyone does. What's confusing is when you balance on pitch (the camera moving down or up) you have to balance TWO CENTERS OF GRAVITY. The first is how the front and back part of the camera are balanced vertically hanging from the pitch motor (set through the placement of the camera screw). The SECOND center of gravity is the balance between the TOP and BOTTOM part of the camera as it pitches forward or back to the pitch motor (set by how high/low you set the pitch are on the motor (using hex screws). What's maddening about this is that when you change one, it often changes the other a little bit. It "feels like" changing one is changing the other, when it isn't. That is, you may change the camera-screw position and it feels the camera is balanced better moving up and down, when it really isn't. The problem with the GH4 is that it often needs to sit to the far left, to balance on the ROLL motor, that makes it difficult to change the screws on the pitch motor. THEREFORE, what I suggest is forget the roll, that is, hold the roll arm straight, and get the camera perfectly balanced on the pitch arm (far enough right where you can easily change the pitch motor screws (just use one to tighten). It MUST be able to hold a 45 degree position, pitched forward or back. Just keep trying. Go back and forth between setting the pitch arm height and camera screw position. Try to feel the camera's balance. Another thing that is annoying is the magnets in the motors distort the balance, though small magnetic pulls, so you have to get a feel for when that might be confusing the issue.

Next, open the software and zero out the ROLL and YAW, leave the PITCH values in. Then, holding the roll arm straight (because it has no power) , pitch the Nebula forward and back. YOu should see the camera hold its position. That should give you confidence to move forward.

HOPEFULLY FILMPOWER WILL ANSWER THIS THREAD!!!! There should be documentation with explanations for these steps. I'm only writing this because I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY BETTER.

i live in socal and I've balanced the gh4 w 12-35. But I'm out of town for another week.
 
WOW!!! thank you so much for the response man, I had set up a time today for their guy to call me and he never did :( I will work on this right now as I just had to step away after almost 8 hours of trying this. I am the worst gimbal owner on the planet and have to be setting some kind of dumb record here. LOL...

I haven't installed any software yet on my Mac as that even seemed a bit amount of work as well but I can figure that out. Will keep you posted.

Thanks
