Professional PID Tuning Consultation

Options

Option 1: Cinelifters ($200 CAD)

Option 2: Race/Freestyle Hobbyist ($150 CAD)

Option 2: Race/Freestyle Hobbyist ($150 CAD)

Flat rate comprehensive PID tuning service specialized for professional / commercial FPV (first-person-view) drones carrying heavy payloads (cinema camera platforms, aka 'cinelifters'). This option is for those seeking the best flight performance, and are super picky about forward flight stability for HD videography.

This is the best service I offer!


  • Flat-rate $200 CAD (2h meeting + followups)
  • Clients are stepped through the PTB "Basement Tuning" Method for 1 drone, full instruction, configurator set up (Betaflight, Emuflight, INAV), filter optimization, PID tune, field testing.
  • It's all done over 1-on-1 direct video chat https://zoom.us
  • Includes troubleshooting, forward flight stability, solving electrical or mechanical vibration issues, optimizing propwash control, etc.

Option 2: Race/Freestyle Hobbyist ($150 CAD)

Option 2: Race/Freestyle Hobbyist ($150 CAD)

Flat rate comprehensive PID tuning service specialized for freestyle or professional racing FPV (first-person-view) drones. This option is for those seeking optimal filter and PID settings to facilitate minimal propwash, near zero set-point-to-gyro delay, and optimal racing performance.


  • Flat-rate $150 CAD (2h meeting + followups)
  • Clients are stepped through the PTB "Basement Tuning" Method for 1 drone, full instruction, configurator set up (Betaflight, Emuflight, INAV), filter optimization, PID tune, field testing.

Book a Meeting

What's included?

  • Face-to-face meeting over Zoom, plus direct messaging. May involve more than one meeting, at no extra charge, if required. Sometimes clients just want to get the tune done in one meeting, then reserve a followup meeting for addressing questions. NOTE: the first meeting is a 2hour slot, and the PID tune can usually be completed within this time; great for those who need results fast! 
  • Typically ~2 meetings plus some direct messaging is more than sufficient, but I'm reasonable here. You'll know when you've worn out your welcome lol.
  • 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 Discord. See 'Connect With Us' links below.
