CAME (Single3) gimbal BMPCC4k counterweight

cults3d

At first glance it doesn't seem possible to mount the Black Magic Pocket 4k on a small gimbal like the CAME Single 3, even though it is capable of taking the weight. The body is too wide and battery weight on the wrong side to balance the camera. However, by putting a counterweight on the opposite side of the tilt encoder... it is possible and works very well: My prototype was made of odd bits of aluminium, and a 200gm brass weight as in the photos. No modifications to the gimbal are required. The 3D STLs enclosed, replicate the parts without the weight, which can be replaced with a similar weight in steel washers, or less (if spaced further out). Adjustment is via M5 bolts and a GoPro thumbscrew (STL included, requires a short M5 bolt). The extension rails are clamped with a (min) M5x50mm bolt.
