Professional PID Tuning Consultation

OPTIONS

Cinelifter ($200 CAD)

Cinelifter + Gimbal ($275 CAD)

Cinelifter + Gimbal ($275 CAD)

Flat rate comprehensive PID tuning service specialized for professional / commercial FPV drones carrying heavy payloads (cinema camera platforms; MAX 13inch prop (> 13 inch inquire directly). This option is for those seeking the best flight performance and forward flight stability for HD videography. This is the best service I offer!


  • Flat-rate $200 CAD (2h video meeting + direct message)
  • 13inch MAX
  • Clients are stepped through the PTB PID tuning method, configurator set up (Betaflight, Emuflight, INAV), filter optimization, PID tune, field testing.
  • Includes troubleshooting, forward flight stability, solving electrical or mechanical vibration issues, optimizing propwash control, etc.

Cinelifter + Gimbal ($275 CAD)

Cinelifter + Gimbal ($275 CAD)

Cinelifter + Gimbal ($275 CAD)

Same as the 'Cinelifter' option with an additional PID optimization for carrying a heavy cinecam gimbal such as the DJI RS2/RS3. This is the most comprehensive service I offer!


  • Flat-rate $275 CAD (2+ hour video meeting + direct message)
  • 13inch MAX
  • Clients are stepped through the PTB PID tuning method, configurator set up (Betaflight, Emuflight, INAV), filter optimization, PID tune, field testing.
  • Two unique PID profiles created: one for hardmounted cams, a second for a gimbal (2nd gimbal position requires separate booking)
  • Includes troubleshooting, forward flight stability, solving electrical or mechanical vibration issues, optimizing propwash control, etc.

Gimbal Optimization ($100 CAD)

Cinelifter + Gimbal ($275 CAD)

Gimbal Optimization ($100 CAD)

Specialized service for optimizing drone for carrying a gimbal (e.g. DJI RS3 or Freefly MOVI). Ideally, the drone should have been tuned previously without gimbal.


  • $100 CAD (1h video meeting)
  • Involves a sytematic adjustment of filters and PIDs to achieve the perfect balance between safety and stability.
  • To optimize top and bottom mounted gimbal positions requires booking two separate sessions.

Macro-Quad Hobbyist ($180 CAD)

Macro-Quad Hobbyist ($180 CAD)

Gimbal Optimization ($100 CAD)

Flat rate comprehensive PID tuning service for 7 to 13 inch FPV drones, Merica 9inch, Long range 7inch, etc. 

NOT FOR CINELIFTERS


  • Flat-rate $180 CAD (2h video meeting + direct message)
  • 13 inch MAX  (> 13 inch inquire directly)
  • Clients are stepped through the PTB PID tuning method, configurator set up (Betaflight, Emuflight, INAV), filter optimization, PID tune, field testing.
  • Includes troubleshooting, forward flight stability, solving electrical or mechanical vibration issues, optimizing propwash control, etc.

Mini-Quad Hobbyist ($150 CAD)

Macro-Quad Hobbyist ($180 CAD)

Hourly Consultation ($100 CAD)

Flat rate comprehensive PID tuning service for your typical 'mini-quad' freestyle/racing FPV drones (< 7 inch). 

NOT FOR CINELIFTERS


  • Flat-rate $150 CAD (2h video meeting + direct message)
  • < 7 inch (1 drone)
  • Clients are stepped through the PTB PID tuning method, configurator set up (Betaflight, Emuflight, INAV), filter optimization, PID tune, field testing.
  • Includes troubleshooting, forward flight stability, solving electrical or mechanical vibration issues, optimizing propwash control, etc.

Hourly Consultation ($100 CAD)

Macro-Quad Hobbyist ($180 CAD)

Hourly Consultation ($100 CAD)

1-on-1 video meeting for anything from PID/filter tuning advice to troubleshooting FPV (first-person-view) drone issues.


  • $100 (1h video meeting)
  • Troubleshooting general PID or filter-related issues, electrical or mechanical vibration issues, etc.
  • Note, the hourly option is not a tuning service per se, see other options for that. It is designed for troubleshooting and addressing tuning-related issues

Book a Meeting

What's included?

  • Face-to-face meeting over Zoom, plus direct messaging. Flat-rate options may involve more than one meeting if needed, at no extra charge.
  • PID tuning can begin immediately after a booking is made if desired. Clients can be guided over direct message, and often the tune can be completed this way. The meeting may then be reserved for fine tuning or questions.
  • Step-by-step flight firmware set up (Betaflight, Emuflight, INAV only), configuration set up, RX optimization. (NOTE: GPS or RTH functionality is NOT part of the PID / filter tuning process, but I am happy to provide some advice there as well).
  • Step-by-step walk through how to perform the PIDtoolbox PID tuning method, usually in real time during a meeting if possible, but not essential.
  • Detailed blackbox log-file analyses, recommendation, explanation behind the decisions at each step.
  • Opportunity to build  PID tuning knowledge, and how to use and interpret PIDtoolbox results.
  • Troubleshooting issues such as forward flight stability, vibration/oscillation issues, propwash, hot motors, and other common issues. I've solved most issues you will ever encounter.

What's required?

  • You will need enough space to hover and move roll and pitch axis around line-of-sight (angle or acro mode is fine). Usually 5-10 meters squared is sufficient. Some people do this in the field by connecting their computer to a smart phone over hotspot.
  • You will need to connect over Zoom video chat via a computer that also has your configurator installed (Betaflight, Emuflight, INAV). 
  • You will need a functioning mic and web cam to communicate. If the computer is not equipped with a mic or cam, some people connect via a cell phone for voice and video, and simultaneously connect via computer to share flight configurator settings.
  • You will need to connect over direct messaging because it's where we share logfiles and communicate directly outside the face-to-face meetings. Facebook messenger is easiest for me to keep track of everybody, but I am also on Instagram, and Discord. See 'Connect With Us' links below.
