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.

Cinelifter FPV Gimbal
It’s here. Still a work in progress, but the design works well enough for me to start teasing it. In my opinion no one should be using this with head tracking until they have mastered it on a smaller and less dangerous setup. It is worth mentioning that this (and all Medlin Drone gimbals) willContinue reading “Cinelifter FPV Gimbal”
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”
FPV Gimbal – iFlight XL5 / XL6 / XL7 / DC5 / SL5 / F5 / F5D – LDX-218

FPV Gimbal – Project 399 Super G / Super G Plus / Super G 10″ – LDX-218
This design has two options, one with the servo in horizontal orientation and one in vertical orientation. Both designs allow very high uptilt at or greater than 45 degrees. This is the base design and is intended to be used with the Universal Camera Mount. Guide for 3D printing the gimbal design here.

FPV Gimbal – Holybro Kopis CineWhoop 3″ – LDX-218
This design has two options, one with the servo in horizontal orientation and one that conserves space by putting the servo vertical. Both designs will require the rear to be zip tied down to the top plate as there is no standoffs there to bolt to, this is similar to the Shen Drones Squirt design,Continue reading “FPV Gimbal – Holybro Kopis CineWhoop 3″ – LDX-218”
Fully Switching to the Universal Mount FPV Gimbal
Announcing a full switch to the Universal Mount for standard single-axis FPV gimbals. It works well. It simplifies and increases consistency across different designs. It has excellent durability and camera protection, it’s smaller and looks cool, it’s just better, and it feels like a much more optimized system. My whole fleet is already switched over,Continue reading “Fully Switching to the Universal Mount FPV Gimbal”
Universal FPV Gimbal + Quark Stabilizer
The dual axis head tracking FPV gimbal is very difficult to use effectively, I am still practicing with it occasionally but for now I believe a single axis is more practical. However, someone (PKNEXUS) brought up the idea on discord to have “a single axis gimbal on the roll for the gopro only, with pitchContinue reading “Universal FPV Gimbal + Quark Stabilizer”
