ZR10 2K QHD 30X Hybrid Zoom Gimbal Camera - SIYI's first industry gimbal camera and it won't be the last

Sorry in advance, I’m writing through a translator. I was able to change the ip address of the camera. Apparently, there is a flaw in the siyi assistant program. To change the address, open the program, connect the camera, change the address and click save. Then, turn off only the power of the camera, and then turn it back on. Wait until the program displays the old address, the gateway field will be empty. Then go to another tab (eg firmware) and switch back. All options will be displayed. Now you can change the address and save it.

Thank u for the answer, i solved problem with ip in a different way on the side of another device, but may your solve help somebody, and i try your way may be tomorrow, thank u. And i can’t solve problem with decoding i hope your way help me with it.

Good time!

Project NORA ZR10 MK15, later HM30

I tried to connect by UART4, but gimbal does not react for RCin

Parameters got from here SIYI ZR10 and A8 Gimbals — Plane documentation

When I use SIYI FPV touch screen MK15 zoom and movement are work. But RC channels are no react

SIYI Assistant settings are clear

For example i want to operate via RC channels with use L/R D dial scrolls

Where is my mistake?

If who has experience, please helpp

Thanks!

Hi!

I’ve updated all the firmware and connect the camera to a serial port of Pixhawk (ArduCopter 4.3.2). All the functions are working properly, but the zoom via RC. It works good within some margin, say 1x- 4.3x and then I need to move the RC slider (assigned to zoom function) backward/forward and it zooms further and so on.
Meanwhile when I used sSIYI HM-30 to control zoom with Android app it works smooth in the full range. But again if I have zoom 30x and try to zoom out with RC slider it stops on 10x zoom. Then I need to do “magic” with moving slider backward/forward to overcome such “restriction”.
Is there any solution for this?

Hi Anton,
If there is a video to show the exact issue, I can get fast feedback from the team. Please also mention the SIYI FPV app version. Thanks.

Hi Frank.

I have the same problem as Anton. I use the camera control via the UART port from the flight controller.

For example, I set the zoom to S1 on my TX16, and when I start zooming - it stops at about half of its strength (about as Anton described - about 5x zoom) and does not increase further. In order to continue the zoom - I have to put S1 in the center position and put it back to the maximum value. You also have to do the same when you reduce the zoom.

But the main problem in all this is that the digital zoom does not work. I managed to turn it on a couple of times randomly by moving S1 back and forth, but it doesn’t work that way.

I’ve tried assigning it to different controls - the result is the same.

I would be grateful if you could help solve this problem.

We really need a video to check this issue. Please help if possible. Thanks very much.

I recorded a video of this problem, I think you can see how it works. Also on the video you can see how the digital zoom is turned on, and I did not understand exactly how it is turned on here - some movement up and down from the middle.

I hope this helps in understanding the problem

The problem is gone after changing the slider to 3-pos switch. Thus if we have it (switch) in the middle position nothing happens. When move switch to high/low position camera will zoom in/out correspondingly.
So it seems like the speed of zooming is not controlled by the slider…
Dear Frank, thank you for the very fast reaction to our problems! We are going to use your gimbals exstensively and almost all the functions are good. But we will be very happy if you add the new mode for zooming, so called absolute mode. In this mode we could use the slider the following way:

  • if the slider is in minimal position (1000 us) we have minimal zoom - 1x
  • if the slider is in its maximum (2000 us) camera has maximum zoom - 30x
  • other slider positions correspond to zoom level proportionally.
    Hope it’s clear description?
    What do you think?

Yes, please! This is similar to what I’m asking for in the serial interface. Once you implement absolute zoom (and focus), it would be useful to control it form either PWM or serial.

i also would love this zoom mode. please add it.

I really hope that this problem will be solved quickly.

Please try to use centering dial before we update to support absolute zooming

Hello mate, can you share with me please ZR10 step file)?

Hi All,

I have the siyi fpv app running on windows 11 fully functional with two cameras

Has anyone been able to setup the ZR10 video stream with the new Herelink (AirUnit V1.1)?
I am having some troubles I guess with the network/camera setup.

What exactly are your troubles?

I will try to explain in the best way I can.
The video stream is supposed to come out of the Herelink, both on QGS and any other device that are connected to it its hotspot at rtsp://192.168.43.1:8554/fpv_stream. Whatever device you would connect to the Herelink hotspot will get a 192.168.43.xxx IP.
The internal IP of the network, as far as I have read online is like this: 192.168.144.10 for the AirUnit and 192.168.144.11 for the Ground Unit. One can connect to the “internal” network by using a USB OTG and a ESB to Ethernet adapter on either the Air or the Ground unit, and recently with the Air V1.1, directly to the Eth port exposed on the Air unit. In that case, one could access the video stream at rtsp://192.168.144.10:8554/H264Video.
Accessing the 192.168.144 IPs will not be possible when you are connected though the hotspot since your IP is 192.168.43.xx.
What I would like is as seamless integration of the video stream with the ZR10 camera as we would have if a camera would be connected to the HDMI. In other words, to be able to view the video stream on QGC on the Ground Unit and on a third device that is connected to the Ground Unit via the ground units hotspot or if both are connected to the same access point.
What setting should I do to have the system la that? Maybe the Herelink will automatically forward the video stream if it comes to a specific 192.168.144.xx IP?
I wonder if the AirUnit is listening for a RTSP stream from somewhere so that it could forward it?
By setting the camera IP to 192.168.144.25 I cannot see the stream on QGC, although I have set the same IP for the video stream in QGC.
