Brushless Gimbal for GoPro

thingiverse

To construct this gimbal, you will need several key components. One of these essentials is a bearing with an outside diameter of 11mm, which should be supplemented by 3 meters' worth of screws and corresponding nuts. Another critical aspect to focus on is constructing an axis that can be securely housed within the bearing itself. For this particular step, I resorted to using a substantial 3-meter long screw in tandem with a carbon tube to prevent any unwanted backlash from occurring. When it comes to powering the gimbal itself, I utilized motors procured from HobbyKing's online store, specifically their item #43040 (available here: https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=43040). To address potential issues with camera movement within the housing unit, I discovered that using a product which allows for increased stability was paramount. Thus, I incorporated an interior component dubbed 'interieur.stl' into my design. Notably, this component measures 1 millimeter larger in dimensions than the typical size of a GoPro camera setup. One key factor in maintaining overall stability within the gimbal's internal workings is to prevent any undue slipping or slippage of the camera unit itself. To this end, I employed the use of an adhesive pad specifically designed for this purpose. You can procure this type of pad from HobbyKing's website here: https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__26171__Self_Adhesive_Non_Slip_Battery_Pad_310_x_75mm_.html. As of my latest update on September 19, 2015, I revised the design specifications for the main arm assembly of this gimbal system, and the pertinent files now reside under the label 'gimbal_armature.stl.' Additionally, to further reinforce structural integrity within the system's framework, I took it upon myself to add strategically placed strips made from carbon fiber materials.
