Finding
it hard to choose a gyro?
Should you go for Conventional or Heading Lock? Fast pirouettes or a rock-steady
hover? Clean stops or high holding power? The SmartLock range gives you
the best of both worlds - whatever level you're at.
SmartLock gyros offer two modes, which you can switch in flight for the best performance. SmartLock mode gives you Heading Lock with brains, for high control and fast stops. With Standard mode, you get the 'feel' of a conventional gyro, but with Yaw Rate Demand: consistent response to yaw commands, even with high gain levels.
Plus, ALL our Smart Lock gyros now have the following features:
- Available in Micro size: 24mm x 24mm x 20mm, weight 12g. The smallest fully-featured gyros in the world!
- Quick Setup: easy initial set-up on the field
- Quick Trim: for the most accurate and symmetrical trim setting
- Two-stage power supply regulation: usable with a wide range of power supply voltages
- Accurate measurement of transmitted pulses, with a filter to remove stick bounce
