Recently, Vimeo user, Kluzo, used the CAME-7800 gimbal to cover an event in Paris! The CAME-7800 uses three motors that stabilize the camera along with the pan, tilt, and roll axis. The motors will help compensate for shakes, vibrations, and other unwanted movements, allowing you to get some smooth shots. (Monitor Is Optional) Click below for ...continue reading
In this quick video posted by Youtube user, Joe Taravella, he takes his new CAME-Single gimbal out for a test run! The footage looks great, especially when he walks up and down the stairs. He used his Sony A7S with a Sony 10-18mm F4 lens.The new CAME-Single is one of the first commercially available 3-Axis 32-bit basecam ...continue reading
The CAME-Steadicam can hold camera setups that are roughly 5 to 33 pounds with a minimum height of 27.5 inches and a max of 40 inches. The CAME-Steadicam comes equipped with a baseplate that has a Power, AV and HDMI connector. You also have the option to buy the stabilizer and the vest separately or ...continue reading
Vimeo user, Milton: Motion & Design, posted this video of his first test run right after opening his CAME-Single gimbal! Click the picture below for more information on the CAME-Single gimbal.
Gimbals can work with either one or two IMU sensors. One sensor is placed above the camera to track camera positions, and the second (optional) is typically mounted to the vertical frame post for tracking frame angles. If you are using a Dual IMU system and cannot click on the Frame IMU button, it's possible ...continue reading
Brushless Motors can be wired to spin in clockwise or counterclockwise, and the software to control them can automatically change directions. Motors on Gimbals can also be mounted in many different ways, so the software needs to detect which way is the proper rotation for your setup. This is when you may need to use ...continue reading
If you have connected your gimbal via USB, you may need to install the proper driver for your Mac or PC to communicate with the control board which can be found Here>>. Once you have installed the proper Mac or PC driver and restarted your computer, connect the gimbal, go into the SimpleBGC software, and ...continue reading
Encoders are often used in Robotics for highly accurate monitoring of motor position. Some of the benefits of using Encoders are to: prevent motors from losing synchronization and skipping steps, provides important information about frame and camera angles, decreases power consumption (longer battery life), increases Torque, increases precision of stabilization, and more. Currently our only ...continue reading
Currently the only gimbal that has the motor encoders is the CAME-Single. We may start to implement these encoders onto newer versions of our gimbals in the future.
Setting up Sensor Orientation [Note: It is important that you Calibrate your Sensors After Performing these instructions] There are two sensors on the CAME-TV 7800 Gimbal. One is located above the camera frame, and the other on the vertical frame. These sensors will determine Right from Left as well as Top and Bottom. As your ...continue reading
If you've received your gimbal, balanced your camera, and find the system works perfectly when panning Left or Right, but is not stable when Tilting Up or Down, double check if you've mounted the Camera Frame in the correct position. Take a look at the image below. The Pitch motor (controls Tilt) should be located ...continue reading
The following PDF document has been provided to explain instructions on modifying the Follow Modes on your CAME-TV 7800 Gimbal. These instructions are similar for other Gimbal Models as well. You'll need to connect to the gimbal via a USB Cable, and launch the software. For information about installing the SimpleBGC software, visit These Instructions. ...continue reading
Configure RC Tab Settings - JoyStick Control Options Connect to the Gimbal with a USB Cable and launch the SimpleBGC Software. For info about downloading and installing the software read this article. NOTE: The values above are shown as a sample only and may not pertain to your gimbal's unique RC settings. Do NOT copy ...continue reading
If your Gimbal is Beeping more than 15 times and continues non-stop, this could be a Low Battery Warning. If the beeping stops after about 13-14 beeps, this could be a Calibration Process (see here). If the beeping does not stop, try to charge the battery for several hours and then try again. If you ...continue reading
If your gimbal beeps several several times (approximately 13 times) whenever you restart the system, this could be a Calibration Mode. If it continues to beep non-stop, this most likely is a Low Battery Warning (see here). When your Gimbal is going through a Calibration process it is important to have the entire gimbal level, ...continue reading
