ViewDual-Axis FPV Gimbal
I have finally tried building and flying a dual axis FPV gimbal, with camera pitch and roll being dynamically controlled via head tracking. I wanted to know if this would be possible to fly in acro, how difficult it would be to learn, and if it would be practical. I want to briefly discuss what…

ViewFPV Gimbal – Camera Mount Options
Many of the open source gimbal designs share the same 20mm bearing housing, this means that for most designs the only frame-specific part is the base, while the top/camera mount is cross-compatible between all designs that share the 20mm bearing housing. This doesn’t mean that they will all work perfectly on any base/frame, this just…

ViewOn-Servo Design
I have started tinkering with a design where the top “hinge” rotates directly on the servos axle instead of having a secondary axle and linkage. This would provide some advantages if it were able to produce smooth movement but will also have some notable disadvantages, worth testing though. Will update post after initial testing. Update:…

This is a case and mount for an Arduino based Open-Source Head Tracker. This is the head tracker enclosure design I started with, the enclosure itself is not my design, Lee from Painless360 designed it, I only made the mount for Fat Shark, its a rudimentary design but works. This can be mounted universally using…
ViewEarly Designs
After some early testing I started to make some changes to the gimbal designs Andy Shin had made, reinforcing the hinge and even experimenting with designs that intentionally added friction to the hinge in addition to a sprung servo linkage in an attempt to stop the servo jitters from making it to the camera. I…
