3D-Printable Handheld Camera Gimbal

grabcad

This is a handheld camera gimbal modelled after the Tarot Professional 5D2 gimbal. It is designed such that it can be assembled and disassembled quickly using PVC pipes and 3D-printed parts.I used an MPU6050 Accelerometer/Gyroscope module as the input to detect movements and two standard servos as output to counteract movements. I controlled this system by filtering the MPU6050 input with a Kalman filter (LQE) and feeding the processed input into a tuned PID loop, computed on an Arduino Nano. The gimbal is powered by two 18650 cells, producing 8.4V, which is then stepped-down to 6V using an LM2596 Buck Converter. The following is the part list:- 2 x 18650 Cells- 1 x 18650 Battery Holder- 1 x LM2596 Buck Converter- 1 x Arduino NANO- 1 x MPU6050 Accelerometer and Gyroscope- 2 x MG996R Standard Servos- 6 x 20mm Bearings- 48 x 1/8x1-1/2in Machine Screws- 48 x 1/8in Nuts- 5/16in Threaded Rod- GT2 Belts- 3/4in PVC- 3D-Printed PartsArduino Code: https://github.com/JasonJZLiu/3D-Printable-Handheld-Camera-GimbalI will be providing a demo video soon.
