Gimbal Power

[steve fh]

Right having order a hero3 next step is a brushless gimbal.

Probably a toss up between the new Tarot or RC timer with associated controller.

Question is power source.  I run 4S on the quad. Can i run these via a 12V BEC or will i need a separate 3S lipo (IE add weight to the set up) ?

Also on these gimbals when you use the RC to control pitch does the gimbal retain full stability control un like the servo gimbals that run out of travel ?

Thanks

The AlexMos boards will run quite happily direct off a 4s LiPo. No BEC';s, filters etc required.

If using the RC to alter pitch or roll your only limits are the length of the motor and sensor wires.

rctimer board runs from up to 6S quite happily.

Yup.
