I have tried both connections, and it’s not work. More at all, the herelink Ethernet is AUTO MDIX, so it should automatically work for both cases.
Hello @SIYI . I cannot download new FW for ZR10 from the official website. It says “404 page not found”. It looks like there is some problem with the website. Pease check. Is there an alternative download source?
Sorry for the inconvenience.
The link has been fixed. Please confirm.
It works now. Thanks for quick response.
Do you know, if i plug the ZR10 on my PX orange cube and linked to Mission Planner, there is a GUI appearing on MP ?(GUI appearing like a pop-up, and looks like a controller to control the camera).
I can’t test it by my own because i don’t have the product yet .
Thank you
PX orange has no way of transmitting/receiving data so also no stills or video
but the PX4 orange cube is a flight controller, so he received data right ?
But the question was more linked to the gimbal camera and the Mission Planner. Do you know if a GUI appeared when we connect a ZR10 (or a A8 mini) to MP ? and if not do you know others gimbal camera which can do that ?
Thank you for your response.
You are 100% right. The PX4 orange cube is a flight controller.
It has no transmitter/receiver. This you need to connect to the PX4 Orange. Your Gimbal/camera you connect to this transmitter./ receiver and THAN you can see the image in MP. If you connect the T/R to the PX4 you get the telemetry in MP. If you connect a GCS you can even control the PX4 and if you want you can control the Gimbal as well.
That is the sort of basics
Thank you, yes it is the basics but i’m reading continuously to understand.
But my question at the beginning was more linked to the gimbal camera and the MP.
Is there a GUI (which looks like a controller to move just the gimbal) appearing on the MP (but it’s not the payload control) when we connect the gimbal to the MP ?
Or should i use a xml file to send the command ?
Hi SIYI Team, There are 2 problems I think are critical for quality products that need to be solved by fixing algorithms.
- Autofocus during Zoom:
Autofocus is not continuous during absolute zoom. The focus only begins to adjust after the zoom is fully completed. This delay affects the autofocus quality significantly. In some instances, the focus may not be properly reestablished. A continuous autofocus, which adjusts at every step of the zoom, would greatly reduce the likelihood of losing focus.
- Consistency in Zoom Levels:
The main issue concerns the consistency of zoom levels. Zooming the camera to a specific level should always be the same, as I perform camera calibration at each level. To replicate this issue, please zoom to level 1 and read the zoom level. Then manually zoom out to level 1. If the zoom functioned correctly, the reading should be 1, and further zooming out shouldn’t be possible, as this is the lowest level. Please test this through several cycles, such as 1-5-1 and 1-4.5-1.
I hope these details help in diagnosing and resolving the issues.
We are looking forward to your feedback and a possible solution.
P.S.
I’m a software engineer please let me know if you need help
Best regards, Arthur
Hi! A quick question on the great @SIYI camera: is it possible to negotiate a custom RSTP blocksize? Or, alternatively, may it be possible to adjust it by any other means, like by some special camera setting, or by limiting the Ethernet MTU?
Thanks in advance for the answer!
I believe that our support engineer has reached to you for this issue. I’ll be following up
Please send the specific requirement to support@siyi.biz

Hi there @gartfeo and @SIYI I am also having the same problem as autofocus only begins after absolute zoom which is not the intended behavior. Has there been any solution regarding it yet or it is still in progress. Thank you in advance for your response.
Hi @SIYI , can you please tell me when we can expect a firmware update for ZR-10? I have reported some bugs to you via email, these problems are now very interfering with my project(
I believe there is an update scheduled. Would you mind pm your email addresses, please? I’ll check your reported issues and see how we can react
Hi @SIYI . After upgrading to the latest version for camera, gimbal and zoom, the gimbal no longer correcrly stabilises roll, and slowly drifts to one side until reaching a limit and yawing suddenly to one side. It then rolls to the other side and repeats in a loop.
ACC calibration tried, gyro calibration tried, with no effect. Flight controller AHRS is okay. Any idea what could be causing this? It’s now very problematic and this gimbal is no longer usable.
Thanks
Hello, please tell me your camera model, camera firmware information, and if you use SIYI remote control, including ground and sky firmware information, software version.
Test the gimbal camera by powering it separately to see if it is normal, and whether the cable connection is stable. If the cable connection is unstable, or the power supply voltage is insufficient, the voltage drops during flight and causes a restart. Try to see if this problem can be solved by integrating the flight control.
Finally, please record a video of the abnormality so that we can determine the problem.
Best regards,

Hi @SIYI .
Thanks for the response. We are using SIYI PC ASSISTANT v.1.4.5, with camera version 0.3.5, gimbal version 0.4.0 and zoom version 0.2.3 with the ZR10, with GCS Mission Planner 1.3.82 (ArduPlane 4.5.7.)
Battery voltage is good. This has been tried across different batteries. It was not an issue before updating the gimbal. A video is attached of the issue via google drive, which can be resolved by shutting off the flight controller. It stabilises perfectly fine on its own.
It is connected to a HM30 air and ground unit. Both are updated to latest versions (v0.1.9, v5.2.8.)
Hope to hear back soon. Our flight controller’s AHRS is level and steady, and configured properly, so I do not know what to do.
Thanks very much.
Hi @SIYI , It has been over two years since we first raised the issue with the absolute zoom functionality, and unfortunately, it remains unresolved.Could you please prioritize resolving this issue? To assist in reproducing and diagnosing the problem, I have attached a Python test file that demonstrates the issue. The version I’m using is:
def test():
cam = SIYISDK(server_ip=“192.168.144.25”, port=37260)
if not cam.connect(maxWaitTime=10):
print("No connection ")
exit(1)
# Problem 2: absolute zoom on 1
print('Requesting Zoom out for 3 seconds')
cam.requestZoomOut()
sleep(3)
print("Current Zoom Level is: ", cam.getZoomLevel())
print('Requesting Absolute Zoom Level 2 and waiting for 4 seconds')
cam.requestZoomLevel(2)
sleep(4)
cam.requestZoomHold()
sleep(1)
print("Getting Current Zoom Level: ", cam.getZoomLevel())
print('Requesting Absolute Zoom Level 1 and waiting for 7 seconds')
cam.requestZoomLevel(1)
sleep(7)
cam.requestZoomHold()
sleep(1)
print("Expected Zoom Level to be 1, Actual Zoom Level: ", cam.getZoomLevel())
print("Requesting Zoom out for 3 seconds. Ideally should not zoom out as we already reached the minimum zoom level")
cam.requestZoomOut()
sleep(3)
print("Gettings current Zoom Level: ", cam.getZoomLevel())
if name == “main”:
test()
We would greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.
Thank you for your cooperation.
