Installation of DYS 3 axis on DJI Phantom 1
Hi, we are currently trying to install our DYS 3 Axis gimbal on our 1st gen Phantom and are finding it difficult. Are there any decent instruction available online? I've been searching for about an hour, can't find anything beyond the schematic you have listed on the product page, we need help with wiring the gimbal to the Phantom mainboard. Any pointers would be MASSIVELY appreciated.

Installation of DYS 3 axis on DJI Phantom
Hi Jonny,
The gimbal attaches to the Phantom using a couple of the provided spacers - use the central holes either side of the yaw motor to do this. To provide enough ground clearance you will need to raise the height of the undercarriage, a lot of people use foam tube on the landing skids for this.
With regards to wiring, the gimbal needs a 12V (3S) power supply; you can take this from one of the Phantom's auxiliary power lead (they are the red/grey cables going to each arm, you will need to solder a male JST plug to one - best to Google it).
If you don't wish to control the gimbal then you are done, if you do there are a few more steps.
To control the gimbal you will have to make or purchase a level switch which plugs into the back of the Phantom's transmitter, which gives a 7th, channel. The DYS Smart supports manual control of all of its axes, however as Phantom transmitter supports only one spare channel you will need to decide which you want to control - most people will prioritise pitch. You will then need to take a wire between the control input pin on the gimbal labeled RX-R and F2 on the Naza - you can pass the cable out through one of the Phantom's arms by removing one of the rubber plugs.
The final step requires you to use the Naza assistant software to enable gimbal control, and then the BaseCam software to configure the gimbal to detect an RC input.
Hope that helps

Is this 32bit?

It's the 8bit version, there isn't yet a mini 32bit version.
Setting up with DJI Naza V2
Is there any guides on connecting this up to a DJI Naza V2 I am trying to get the tilt to work on my tx?
Thanks
Bruce
Hi Bruce,
Hi Bruce,
You need to take a wire between the control input pin on the gimbal labeled RX-R and F2 on the Naza. Then use the Naza assistant software to enable gimbal control and check that the X1 channel moves when you operate your transmitter's 7th channel. Finally use the BaseCam software to configure the gimbal to detect the RC input.
Alternatively you can wire it directly into your receiver and control it that way. This video shows you how the tilt can be controlled from your radio. You basically just connect a jumper wire from the RX-R signal pin (top row) on the AlexMos to a free channel on your receiver. Then you need to configure it through the BaseCam GUI.

Thank you, got it all working perfectly :)
Do you need to connect a
Do you need to connect a ground wire like in that youtube video? Or can you just run the single cable from your reciever to the RX-R pin? Thanks for your other advice.
Ground wire connection.
I believe it's best practice to run a ground wire, however you will probably find it works without (especially if both share the same power source). You might find reading this similar debate about ground connections between ESCs and FCs useful: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1641136
5V out for charge the gopro
Have any port 5V out for charge the gopro?
Hi,
Hi,
The mini AlexMos control board provides a 5V output which is intended to power a receiver. It might be able to power a GoPro, you would need to check how many amps are needed.
DYS 3 axis control with a second handset
Hi, you mention in your literature that the gimbal can also be setup to be controlled by a second handset, for full control of 2 axes and different operating modes. Can you please provide more information on how to achieve this.
Thanks,
Trimleyflyer
Second Handset Control
The setup is the same as a single operator configuration, but instead of wiring the signal inputs from the gimbal control board to your main receiver, you would wire it to a second receiver which would then be controlled by another operator using a seperate transmitter. For info about which pins to connect to, please view the comments above.
Building a Handheld Gimbal
Hello, I would like to get this gimbal for handheld operation. So, if don´t use any RC setup, nor any drone like the Phantom, would it be possible to just connect the DYS Smart 3 directly to a 3S-Lipo and (in case i need manual control) connect a small jostick which connects directly to the gimbal via wires like the ones being sold to control the Basecam/Alexmos boards of the bigger (DSLR Style) gimbals)? Any help, even a short hint would be greatly appreciated. Since I need to find a quick solution for a project, I would be very thankful for a quick tip, a son as it is possible. Thak you!
Hi, this gimbal would work
Hi, this gimbal would work fine for handheld operation, you might just want to add a handle/grip to it. The setup it just as you describe - connect a 3S LiPo and if you need manual control you can connect a small joystick to it.
phantom 2
Hi will the mounting holes on the gimbal be suitable for the new phantom 2? also with the new phantom I can't put longer legs due to the compass unit being part of the leg. What would you suggest to incease clearance for the gimbal
Regards
Michael
Phantom 2
Hi Michael, it can be mounted to the new Phantom 2. It does require more ground clearance for the gimbal. This is easily done by attaching some foam tubing to the landing skids, if you Google it you will see some examples.
Hero 4?
Is this gimbal suitable for the new GoPro Hero4, or would it be better to stick to the Hero3/3+?
GoPro 4
It works perfectly with the GoPro 4. I'll be uploading some 4k footage shot using the DYS Smart gimbal and a GoPro 4 soon.
mounting
Hi,
I'm hoping to fit this to an f450 frame, which has rails mounted blow it to mount the gimabl far enough forward to avoid the props in the frame. The rails are 10mm diameter and at 60mm spacing (centre to centre). Will the mounts included work with that spacing, or would I have to look at some sort of adaptor?
Cheers,
Dougie
10mm Load Hangers
Hi, yes that would work fine. The load hangers that it comes with are designed for 10mm tubes, spaced 60mm apart. I sell replacement hangers too: http://www.flyingtech.co.uk/frames-props-parts-accessories/10mm-load-han...
can i retrofit to a phantom 2 vision?
hi, i have a phantom 2 vision, and i was wondering if i could replace the stock camera with this mount, and also, will i need to modify the phantom 2 vision to get this gimball to work
Phantom 2 Vision.
Hi, I know it fits to the Phantom 2, but I'm not sure about the Vision. If you can remove the camer/gimbal from the Vision to effectively become a phantom 2 then it should work. The gimbal has its own controller so you wouldn't need to modify the Phantom to get it to work - you would just need to provide 12volts to power it.
IRIS+
Hi, will this fit my IRIS+?
IRIS Compatibility
Hi, it will need an adapter. It is possible to 3D print one, please see the links below.

Gimbal power requirement
Hi, I am considering fitting this to my Tarot T960 that is using 6S Lipo - I understand that the gimbal requires a 12V poer supply but what is the maximum current draw. I need this so I can specify a 6S to 12V voltage converter or to specify what 3S battery I need to purchase.
Current Draw
Rated at 2amps max, but I've just used my clamp meter to check and it's showing 0.6amps under normal operation.
Sorry this gimbal is no
