What are you using to get the 6 cell balance info from your batteries? (Balance connector) Or are you just supplying 25.4+ volts to the circuit
MatthewI don't know what's your concept, but this is what I've done without modifying any wirings. These 3 cables is all you need, plus antenna pads of course. Remember to monitor battery capacity somehow, popular hobby tester works fine, miniature LED voltmeter as well ...

Richard, it doesn't really matter in this application. Standard 6S (22.2V) Lipo is charged and balanced as usual, all I must control is the voltage to not drain battery too low. I'm actually using my old retired TB47 to power this rig directly, bypassing telemetry circuitry. Here I have blinking green LEDs to watch remaining power. With standard LiPo I will use something like this:Matthew

Okay, I get it. As long as you are looking at Venom batteries they offer HV series alsoRichard, it doesn't really matter in this application.

Sure it is, but Amazon went mad with pricingOkay, I get it. As long as you are looking at Venom batteries they offer HV series also
But like you said you only need to watch the discharge rate.
this is a awesome battery checker

This is certainly the way to work with this camera, as with any professional filming camera. Unfortunately it's not possible to stick-control the gimbal with one RC only. Single setup with Cendence controller will allow to do it by wheels at the back, but I don't know if this method is always sufficient enough for quick gimbal movements, as opposed to stick control. I have Cendence with Focus Wheel 2 and my camera operator is happy adjusting tilt and pan this way. At least for my usual filming style ...Very nice rig you have. I'm working on something similar but the only thing I can't baypass is the need of two i2 radios to be powerd on in order to have full control over the gimbal like in two man op while flying the i2 where the camera op can controll the gimbal by the stick on slave radio, is there a way to have gimbal control with the sticks with only one radio powered on?
Hi, there is no need to use 6s or hv, regular 3s lipo or lion will do the jobOkay, I get it. As long as you are looking at Venom batteries they offer HV series also

You're right, the FW update will fail due to missing components. The only way is to transplant Cinecore module and FC board to a healthy Inspire and perform update on her. This is daunting job ... Bottom line: if your system is recording to both SD and SSD card (assuming active license), don't mess with it ...Thanks, it would be nice if there was a mode we could put i2 in so that at least one of the sticks could controll the gimbal. I think yuneec had such mode in one of their crafts, sth like rope mode or similar. Any chance you've tried to update the firmware of your rig? I wonder if trying to update the fw when everything beside the gimbal is not connected to the "main cinecore box" could brick the unit?

Hmm, this is surprising as 3S battery delivers only half of the 6S voltage. I will rather not mess with this, but ...Hi, there is no need to use 6s or hv, regular 3s lipo or lion will do the job
Well this morning I was working on my system and I plugged a 3s lipo just to check what will happen and everything booted up as on 6s, all working ok incl gimbal and feed, but ofcourse the drain is hugeHmm, this is surprising as 3S battery delivers only half of the 6S voltage.

You mean "old FAT as opposed to exFAT" SSD format? Yes, that is a problem if you purchase new unformatted SSD drive. In this case indeed both Cinecore module and FC board must be updated, and the only way is to transplant these parts, checking the license activation after update and before removing the transplant back to a donor. Sometimes the license may disappear during FW update, be aware.Thats what I thoughtand yes its recording both on sd and ssd so it is not crucial but its still on the fw with old file system so its a bit annoying. One more question what is the model of the antennas you use in your system insead of the original ones?
Thanks! Any chance you could share what antenna you used in your system?You mean "old FAT as opposed to exFAT" SSD format? Yes, that is a problem if you purchase new unformatted SSD drive.

Thank you sir!Matrice 600 Lightbridge antennas. These are on market in two flavours: older type with right angle connectors, shrink wrapped or embedded in plastic mold (better) and newer with straight connectors. eBay ...

That’s a nice rig! Is there a way to start and stop recording and control exposure without the controller connected?Exactly! Here's my Osmo X5S/X7 rig build with parts from scavenged bird... It won't fly, but it delivers all imagery goods Inspire 2 is capable of ...
