DOF Reality SFU Gearbox Upgrade - Part 3: Modifications
76DOF Reality's new SFU gearbox design provides better movement for their motion platforms. In Part 3 we show you all the modifications we did to get the most out of our H6. This is the third episode in a series that will continue with Part 4, discussing Motion Compensation and why, in my opinion, it is now necessary with all the added motion.
DISCLAIMER: This video documents the process we used to modify the DOF Reality H6 Motion Platform with the SFU Gearboxes. It is NOT intended to replace the official DOF Assembly Instructions.
