Replacing Vertical Servo Mount with Push-Through Servo Mount

The servo is large 40x40x20mm and a lot of frames do not have the space required for horizontally mounting the servo to the top plate between the front four standoffs the same way the Terraplane does. I had solved this by mounting the servo vertically, this worked well at first but once I switched overContinue reading “Replacing Vertical Servo Mount with Push-Through Servo Mount”

FPV Gimbal – Rebel Basic – LDX-218

This is the base design is intended to be used with the 18mm Universal Camera Mount. This frame design forced this gimbal to use a 18mm bearing housing meaning it is not compatible with the standard camera mount options shown elsewhere on the site. Guide for 3D printing the gimbal design here. Files on Thingiverse:Continue reading “FPV Gimbal – Rebel Basic – LDX-218”

FPV Gimbal – Moka Ayeleon 4″ / Ayeleon 5″ / Moka 3.5″ – LDX-218

This is the base design is intended to be used with the Universal Camera Mount. I have made a ‘vertical servo’ and ‘push through’ base design, I prefer the ‘push though’ but both had advantages/disadvantages. Guide for 3D printing the gimbal design here.

Head Tracking FPV Gimbal Simulator with VR Goggles

Until recently, the only way I have known of for someone to learn to fly with a head tracking FPV gimbal has been to have a drone in the air. This is a significant problem since when learning it is easy to get disoriented and crash. I was not aware of any simulator that supportedContinue reading “Head Tracking FPV Gimbal Simulator with VR Goggles”
