I put my 'tank to use too. Didn't fly it as much as I wanted as I'm still having some pretty nasty vibration issues, but managed to get some good shots out of it. All the flying was done with Flying Cinema frames :-)

After a month of tinkering with three different gimbals, I think I've finally got it locked in pretty well. Here are some cows enjoying the sunset on the open range.
I didn't end up using the cinegimbal I bought, but I gave it to a friend who just built a Cinetank L and he's thrilled with it.

And the gimbal you are using is?Originally Posted by AeroMaestro

..in the description of the video. Storm32 gimbal.
Here's one using the Cinegimbal... still only about 90% of what I want. For some reason the recent versions of Arducopter have some yaw wiggle that I just can't tune out (and there's some resonance going there, just to add to the tuning dificulties). Since this video I've moved the Pixhawk from the clean section to the dirty sectio in the hopes of getting rid of last bits of strange flight issues.

Chile, that's beautiful. I think it's your best video yet.
Steveno, the gimbal is a HakRC Storm32 3-Axis from Gearbest.
BLAM. I'ts been a few months since I've posted anything. I was having gimbal problems with the cinetank and just didn't feel like fixing it for a while. (Using that Storm32 gimbal linked above -- turns out a motor wire had been severed.)
Anyway, I took the ol' Cinetank on a hike this weekend. I've been mostly flying at between 4500-7000 feet, but this video is recorded between 10500 and 12200 feet! Flies sooooo differently up there. I was mostly surprised at how much extra Yaw I gain I needed to throw in to keep the tank centered. You'll see there are still some yaw blips in this video -- the wind was probably blowing 25+ mph up there over the ridge.
Still keepin' this thread alive. Here's a highlight reel of all my previously unused footage from this summer.
So good to see the trusty old cinetank still makes good footage.
How is it equipped fc-wise?
Mine havent flown for ages, so it might need a few upgrades.
Sorry I missed this comment a month ago. It's flying with an Eagle Tree Vector. I use a stock Taranis with an X8r receiver and have gotten it out to about 3500 feet before I start getting low RSSI warnings.
