I want to have a gimbal to stabilize the GoPro camera on my next multicoper project. I understand that for best results I should have a brushless gimbal, but most of them are pretty expensive. Therefore I am thinking of building my own. HobbyKing has motors and a “gimbal controller”.
Motors: http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__42247__Quanum_2208_Precision_Brushless_Gimbal_Motor_GoPRO_size_100_200g_.html
controller: http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__41386__2_Axis_Brushless_Camera_Gimbal_Stabilization_Control_Board_w_IMU.html
Has anyone tried those motors or this controller? Do they work well?
I have made a simple Google SketchUp design:
It is built out of high quality plywood and some aluminum parts.
What are the important things to think about while building a gimbal? I understand that the camera needs to bee “in balance” so it can be rotated with as little torque as possible.
