Almost The Best FPV Gimbal Ever. - HEQ Gimbal Review

- FPV RC Car Gimbals are hard, but I believe this one will be the best ever. It's great for an FPV drone right out of the box, but the vibrations from a car are a lot more. Here is HEQs contact, if you'd like to encourage them to work on the yaw twitching issue when used with FPV RC cars / Rovers - store.hequavtech.com/pages/co...

This gimbal has been awesome to play with. On very slow vehicles, it works fine and there are no shakes. Once you pick up enough speed, the yaw goes crazy. I'm sure they can fix this issue and I will update as soon as they do!

My O3 Armer will be available at few FPV stores in the near future. Will post links soon!
Let me know if you have questions in the comment section!

He's back!
Glad to hear someone else is experiencing the same issue. Mine jitters like crazy too. Thought it was just my setup..
Excellent work Chadd! It can be very difficult to get gimbals running 100% smooth for sure. Still learning myself after a few years of messing with the storm32 diy units. The mounting to the rc is as critical as anything else especially running high speed and off road. I've had the best results from bolting the gimbal to the chassis. Really, a riser from the chassis that's bolted to the chassis if that makes sense. If you feed some steering into the yaw it'll force the gimbal to look into the turn and still stabilize in yaw, but like you say yaw can be locked out. Most of my fast cars I only run pitch and roll. You could try mechanically locking the yaw axis just use a bit of tape and it might help with the left right shudder your having 👍🙌
Thanks Jipperr! HEQ replied and said they are working hard to fix the issue. I’ll try to lock the yaw and then mechanically fix it as well. Hopefully this doesn’t burn up the motor (not gonna lie I’m a bit worried about doing that). Will follow up! 🤙
Nice work!
Hey do know if this thing would work for me using Crossfire? I use mainly 8ch diversity receivers with the PWM adapters but on the controller I've got the Crossfire Lite module using the DSC port and PPM. I already bought it but now I have to figure out if I need to change my controls up to use it. Also, where can I buy one of your arming circuits?
Great work Chad, been lookijg forward to this review mate👍🏼 Keep us posted with any developments, this looks like a promising product if they actually do care enough to support it👍🏼
So you DID get the fireteam, nice! I'm glad another person aside from Jipper is on the gimbal stuff. There are still too many concerns I have before trying that out but it does look amazing all things considered. Is there any way you can see to simply disable the jitter axis? I would love to have it all setup so I could still look left/right up/down but I guess I would only need up/down stabilization for off road.
Hell yeah dude the Fireteam is awesome😎 I need a custom body (or plate) but that will come. I did use the “FPV Mode” that locks out the yaw axis (the jittery one) but it didn’t lock it well enough and the jitters are getting through.
I’ll be sending some more info to HEQ to try to get this resolved, and hopefully change the name of this video (dropping the “Almost” lol)
@@ChaddRainsFPV Man I've been debating on the Fireteam for a while now.. It's like I already have 2 others a bit smaller but I want my third one to be a complete monster. Like big enough for me to put a dang articulating airsoft gun on it or something. That's a huge endeavor though so in the mean time something like the Fireteam would be awesome.. The main thing is though I wanted to be able to mount the O3 inside the body so it's a true FPV experience. Plus the roll cage for hard driving etc.. Haven't yet figured out a way to make that possible while also using a gimbal. Needs just the right dimensions on a truck... OR just need to butcher something and mod it out real hard.
The way you have it mounted on top seems fine, it just sucks thinking about that amount of work put in if it crashes hard one day. The mounting on top also has that benefit of perspective though.. Just makes it so you can actually see beyond obstructions that are only several inches high. Complete custom body where the cam can sit high and it still looks like you're inside a cabin might be the best bet.
Really good review. Just got my hands on one of these and I don't have any jitter with new firmware but my yaw struggles with staying centered. It's always a bit off for some reason. Apart from that it's a great wee gimbal.
I did notice that mine had some drift, but I considered it very slight. What type of vehicle were you using it on, and what type of speed were you getting? I really appreciate the feedback!
@ChaddRainsFPV I have ancient Hong Nor x2 Pro buggy with Hobbywing 6s 150A esc, speed wise can't say as I haven't measured it but probably around 50mph. Weirdly the drift is only present on new firmware with fpv mode on but old firmware has jitters. I guess drift can be fixed with another firmware update if they do release it.
@ChaddRainsFPV "edit: I do still have yaw twitch. Roll and pitch is fine, but yeah yaw is an issue. If you hear back from manufacturer about this please do let me know.
have to buy a new house before any more toys my wife said😅
Mine too😂
I have the radiolink receiver please help. I'm trying to get headtracking to work. Where do u plug the pwm channels
