Great when it works but serious problems with the motor

I used it for a commercial shoot and after that it worked fine, the tilt motor kept shaking. I've updated the firmware, tried different camera payloads, retuned the engine performance, and watched all the YouTube videos on the subject. Still nothing. Also, the fact that you have to buy the proprietary V-mount battery is a joke for heavier payloads. The fact that you have to ship it to China to have it fixed is just ridiculous. Just the shipping and the time you have to spend getting it repaired is insane. When it works, it does its job very well BUT THIS IS A GAME! If you don't know how to fix internal electrical components, it's not worth the risk if you run into a problem. It's almost impossible to fix.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
