GREMSY H16

Gremsy gimbals support SBUS, SPEKTRUM/JR, PPM protocols. The following are some names for your reference: Futaba T14SG, Spektrum DX6i, Taranis, etc.

The Gremsy H16 has the same communication with Futaba as Gremsy H7. Please refer to this tutorial: https://goo.gl/R6XrPz

At the moment, Gremsy gimbals can be controlled via LightBridge 2 but it has some limitations in control channels. For instance, it doesn’t offer you the ability to control the Tilt and Pan speed via a remote channel, and you can’t ON/OFF the gimbal or switch between Lock/Follow with this setup. Therefore, we recommend to use a direct Tx-Rx to control our gimbals.

Yes, you can use the third party’s product.

Before starting the gTune app, go to Setting -> Cellular -> Turn off Cellular Data. Cellular network signal can cause distortion to the wifi signal of the gimbal. Thus it should be turned off first to make sure the app connecting with the gimbal wifi properly.

Make sure your gimbal is already powered ON, after that open your wifi setting in your device, find and connect to the gimbal’s wifi using password: gremsygstabi

• Before running gTune mobile app, turn off your mobile internet and make sure to  connect with the gimbal’s wifi. Otherwise, the app can’t connect to the gimbal properly.
• Firmware upgrading procedure with gTune Desktop software: Before upgrading, please temporarily unplug the receiver (if available). Otherwise, you will be stuck on erasing step and can not get it completed. Of course, the software will remind you but it’s better to do it yourself first.

It takes about 1 - 2 hours to fully charge the battery.

Each battery can run up to 6 - 8 hours depending on the attached camera rig and gimbal usage.

There are 2 pieces of battery in each H16 package.

The following are some good practices for you:

• Store the battery in cool places at room temperature (ideally between 10°C - 26°C).
• Gremsy batteries do not have built-in over-discharge protection. They are recommended to use battery voltage checker to make sure the batteries staying above 3V per cell (it’s 4.2V per cell for full charged battery). Otherwise, battery’s cell will be dipped too low and your battery will be un-rechargeable.

• Stop using or charging the battery immediately if the battery appears to be damaged.
• Remove the battery from the gimbal in case you don’t use it for a long time.

• Charging current: select 2A for 3400mAh battery and 3A (or 4A) for 6800mAh battery.

• Charging procedure: You should plug in the balance cable first, and then connect with the JST cable.

The gPower 4S-3400mAh battery weighs only 192.5g.

The H16 uses the gPower 4S-3400mAh battery.

Besides, the H7 is compatible with Gremsy Battery 4S - 6800 mAh with dual power supply cable to power gimbal and RED(*) together.

(*) To connect with RED: You need the support from Lemo cable to connect XT60 of battery with RED power port.

Yes, It can.

It is possible, however we highly recommend to use with original H7 batteries to avoid any unexpected thing.

Absolutely.

Yes, you can. Some of our clients made some custom models in order to assemble Circular Quick Release with second flight controller like A2, A3, Naza, Wookong and use CanLink in ALTA setup.

For further information about using Canlink and H16 with ALTA, feel free to contact us at   [email protected]

Please refer to one of the options below:

• Using ALTA Adapter in order to connect H16 pan motor to the Toad in the Hole. In this situation, CanLink as additional option is not suitable. Here is guide image for your reference.

• Removing the Toad in the Hole of ALTA and replacing by Circular Quick Release so that all function of H16 is maintained in connection with Canlink.

Yes, Gremsy H16 is absolutely suitable for original M600 without extended landing gear. For mounting, we highly recommend the Damping Plate Pro to assemble with 12mm carbon rail of frame.  

Yes, you can. We highly recommend you to use Damping Plate Pro to assemble the H16 into frame and please make sure the total weight of the system does not exceed the maximum payload of S1000/ S1000+.
