When it comes to brushless gimbals whether you are a pro-cinematographer or a multi-rotor hobbyist there is no question AlexMos controllers with Basecam (SimpleBGC) has set the mark in the industry for performance, ease of use and a host of user definable options.
HobbyKing™ is proud to offer the officially licensed Quanum 32 Bit dual IMU V3 BGC, powered by Basecam. This is not an unlicensed copy with unsupported hacked software, It was designed from the ground up by Basecam using quality components and a 4 layer PCB design (unlike clones), each pre-loaded with Basecam boot-loader and firmware, and is fully supported and updatable via the Basecam website.
This V3 version has full support for the latest firmware updatable from the Basecam GUI software. The dual IMU mounts one sensor on the stabilized frame and the other on the hand or multirotor frame to figure out the differential angles to blend motor movement, the new powerhouse 32 bit MPU is used to calculate motor movement with advance math and provide a shake free gimbal even at high tilt angles. The32 bit platform also has many more new features and can be found on the BaseCam web site here http://www.basecamelectronics.com/
The performance of the Quanum BGC is robust enough for the largest of brushless gimbal motors even the full DSLR 90mm sized monsters. The BGC is supplied with high quality silicon wire for connections to the two IMUs and 3 axis board, allowing for proper flexing during operation. The Quanum BGC is equipped with onboard USB, for an easy connection to the Basecam GUI or utilize the serial port for an optional wireless solution.
The Basecam software is a powerful tool for setup and tuning but its graphical interface makes it easy even for beginners to use. The Basecam software can configure the BGC for complete standalone operation or the popular “follow” mode for handheld gimbals...even modes that work directly with Multi-rotor controllers for hybrid control. There are too many options to list. For a full list of features check out the manual under the files tab below or check out “SimpleBGC.com”. Basecam also has a huge on-line support community full of how-to videos and forums for tuning and creative ideas.
