SinusoidDelta Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 The cams definitely look laser cut based on the edge finish and HAZ coloration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The LT Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 The cams definitely look laser cut based on the edge finish and HAZ coloration. They look just like the regular laser-cut cams of BRD. BRD cams are very precisely and smoothly cutted and never required any polishing or sanding.

Cyph3r Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Durability Testing of the VPC WarBRD Mechanism The tests emulated the forces the mechanism will experience in normal use - although obviously exaggerated! The tests simulated what could be considered as 5 years of hard 8-hour day usage. Baur was sent this sample after the tests and he concluded that the unit was in fact slightly better due to the fact the contact points were slightly more polished after the intense tests! He was very pleased with the results and quality of the construction and encountered no unpleasant wear compared to the untested samples. It's worth noting that we do not actually recommend using the VPC WarBRD with extensions - this was done in the tests to exaggerate the load. :joystick: ► Website: www.virpil.com // ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VirPilControls // ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/VirPilControls For support please email support@virpil.com to open a ticket!

dburne Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 If we add an extension, say for helicopter flight, it shouldn't effect anything negatively, correct? I would imagine the gimbal design and hardware do not allow for use with extensions. Certainly one I guess could do it anyway but probably would not be supported say in warranty and therefore not recommended by VPC. A lower priced gimbal would have to have some concessions.

Sokol1_br Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 A lower priced gimbal would have to have some concessions. T50 gimbal ~$ 234.00 WarBRD ~$ 202.00 No much difference in price, so if the guy want use extension get T50 base instead. The extension restriction is probable due CAM geometry/springs - Like in BRD gimbals, D is not suitable, DS and N is and design is very similar in all. BRD design allow a more low profile gimbal, desirable for desktop use, and even so may result practical only with Delta grip, since T50 is very tall. Constructively WarBRD looks more sturdy than BRD gimbals in what is based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
