    Hey Thijm, thank you very much for sharing this with us. Great job you have done with this Movi. So you have basicly converted M10 pan and vertical booms to M15's. I was trying to find spare M15 vertical arm for two tubes but with no success. Would you please share where did you found these parts for sale. Thank you very much again

    P.S. M10_dxf.zip is missing

    Thankx a lot. The dxf files are fine now. I have checked in famoushobby web site but can't find the two pan tubes aluminum arm there. When did you have ordered it ? Probably they didn't sell them anymore.

    Search for Fa023. Only issue is that they are to high. But can easily be modified!

    Hey thijm, thank you very much for everything. Appreciate your help. By the way did you buy the vertical arm with the motor or they sold it to you separately ?

    Thijm,
    i saw you have managed to extend the 25mm tubes on the side of the M10.
    Does this work flawlessly? I extended them and made them a few cm longer to get more clearence in the back for using more heavy lensens and for using the Alexa Mini. By this i found out, that the M10 won't boot if the extension is more than 1.5cm. By pushing it back, it boots and works as usual.
    Have you discovered the same problem? Is there any "savelock" in the system to stop m10s from getting modified this way?

    Thanks
    Norbert

    Hi Norbert,

    No issues at all. Sounds like something is loose. Check if all connectors are still firmly in place.
    Did you cut the tie wraps on the roll bar, to give the cables more room? Both ends have 2 tie wraps. only cut the outmost on both sides (see pic). 1 tie wrap per side is fine.

    Yes, i cut exactly these. I checked all connectors and even replaced the cables.
    It seems the sensor on the bottom of the camera mount knows how far he is away from the headunit...

    Weird. I know other users who also extend them without any issues. Also fine on v5.0.
    25mm tube on the motor side is 20cm in length . What are you using?

    Maybe it's got a broken wire somewhere. Did you get the replacement imu cable with yours?
    Not any advice i would recommend, but you could try to extend while its powered and see if the app give any info on disconnected devices. Also the function “reset controller” in the app will reboot the device and checks all hardware for folds. Results are shown in terminal

    It is most likely the sense cable plug in the tilt motor. These need to sit really tight and are easily plugged (partly) out when extending the tubes. it is not even visible on first sight. Then the M-10 won´t boot.

    Best,

    Wolf

    I can confirm that my M10 works fine with extensions as well. Mine are extended 10cm total.

    Hi everybody,

    now, it works!
    Wolf was right.... sort of.
    I discovered a broken cable to the tilt motor, wich lost contact only in a certain position when extending the tubes.
    I made new (and slightly longer) cables and everything works flawlessly.

    Thank you guys
    Norbert
