I've got a pair of these with Freefly servos that were replaced with brushless motors. Now they're just sitting around collecting dust and I'm not sure what to do with them. Like floppy disks I hate to think that they're practically useless especially given what I paid, but I understand if that's simply the way it is. Thoughts? Offers? Dan
Yes I have and I contacted them but G-Lock doesn't help me in this particular situation. My brushless setup is working great so no reason to put the Radians back on there to take advantage of G-Lock.
The abandonment of Radians was evident over a year ago. I would say they are more like a Zip drive than a floppy drive. Still useful at some level to the right person.
I use mine on an old gimbal just for doing still photography. They are still the best thing going for servo gimbals, but it seems they have really lost their resale value. Pre Movi I was ready to give up the DIY brushless gimbal dance and go back to the simple Radian days.
Keeping a servo based gimbal for photography could be logical. Since the servo based gimbal is considerably lighter than the brushless gimbals, it will provide you some more flight time. No need for balancing for different lenses, etc. That's what I'm doing right now.
i live in hawaii, where the winds are gusty...without warning. i use a two axis brushless setup paired with a radian for pan, works really well in windy situations.
