C-40D is a horizontal 2-axis gimbal designed for small FPV cameras and payloads up to 40 g. The construction uses mechanical stabilization with two axes and powerful motors with a temperature-controlled IMU sensor. C-40D can be powered by 7.4–26.4 V (2–6S) and can be installed with the camera facing either down or up as needed.
The C-40D gimbal can be controlled via S.BUS, CRSF, PWM, or the MAVLink protocol, supported in combination with ArduPilot and PX4 autopilots. It can also be directly linked with a headtracker, transferring the pilot’s head movements straight to the gimbal. The gimbal offers six modes, including classic FPV mode, horizon stabilization, tilt lock, or ortho-view mode for vertical top-down shots. It allows setting up three preset modes that can be switched easily, and sensitivity adjustment that determines the response speed to drone/RC model movements.
The gimbal can be configured via PC using the GimbalConfig software. This program is used not only for parameter adjustment but also for firmware updates and calibration. Parameters can be stored in the gimbal memory or exported to files for easy reuse.
Power consumption is about 2 W during normal operation and up to 12 W when motors are blocked. Maximum control range: ±110° pitch and ±45° roll, with rotation speeds of up to 1500°/s.
C-40D is compatible with FPV cameras up to 40 g and, thanks to its low weight of just 38 g, it is suitable for small drones, wings, or other platforms where camera stabilization with minimal size and weight is required.
A USB adapter is required for configuration via PC, which is not included in the package.
