My team has recently purchased a Sentinel drone and we are in the process of procuring a suitable gimbal payload to enhance its versatility. While reviewing the product datasheet available here, we noted that the specified payload capacity for the Sentinel drone is 1kg.

To ensure seamless integration and optimal performance, I am reaching out to kindly request clarification on the practical payload capacity that the Sentinel drone can effectively accommodate. Specifically, I am interested in understanding whether it is advisable to attach a payload nearing the 1kg limit (as the Gimbal we are looking at is ~900g), or if there are certain considerations or precautions that we should be mindful of during this process.

Looking forward to your support.

@modaltb I see.

Just one last thing, do you think a gimbal of ~900g would be ok to be attached to the Sentinel without any issues? As the quoted max. payload for the Sentinel is 1kg?

@modaltb I see. Thanks for the heads-up.

Any suggestions on how can I get an easy-to-use gimbal attachment to work with the Sentinel? The simplest for now, but I should be able to control it while getting the live stream.

@modaltb Which Gimbal(s) did you try from Gremsy? They are a bit expensive so I wanted to see if the ones you tried satisfy my requirements, I might as well get the same one.

@modaltb I see. In this case, what should be the work around if I really need to control the gimbal?

@admin Thank you for the response.

On the link you posted, it says

Interface
Communication Interface for Control Signal: USB(UVC) / CAN(DroneCAN)

Does this mean we can use either of them and we can still control the pan/tilt/zoom through UVC?

Hello,

I am planning to integrate the XACTIC CX-GB300 (Multispectral gimbal camera) with my Sentinel drone.

https://xacti-co.com/service/drone_camera/

Following these instructions I am guessing I will have to buy an add-on board (Which I already have since I have the LTE 5G Modem), and the 4-pin JST to USB 2.0 Type A Female (MCBL-00009-1).

Now, can anyone guide me about the next steps required for the integration

@Alex-Kushleyev Ohh.

Yes please let me know how can I. I'm afraid I'll be needed spare parts for my research.

@Alex-Kushleyev I would prefer a carbon frame.

Is it a standard frame I can buy online? Like the S500 frame for the Sentinel?

Hello,

Where can I get a spare body for the Starling V2, in case I break this one?

Is there a 3D file I can use to print my own spare?

I've recently ordered the Starling drone and I am unsure about the R/C controller options of this drone.

The Starling webpage features an iFlight Commando 8 Radio Transmitter, but I wanted to confirm if I buy any other ELRS 915MHz Radio transmitter and it should work, right?
