Gimbal

thingiverse

This gimbal is a key component of a project I've been working on at school. Designed by me and my fellow students, we have collaborated on the mechanics, electronics, and software. To ensure a successful test, we attached a GoPro to it since we didn't have time to perfect fitting a DSLR. The Gimbal could benefit from minor adjustments, particularly larger motors for Yaw and Roll, as well as overall strength improvements.
