Gimbal Case For Rollei 410

thingiverse

I designed and built a custom gimbal for my Rollei action cam 410 using a crossfire 2. The Rollei 410's thicker design due to its display caused it to tilt slightly downwards before hitting the roll-motor. I was able to create a functional design, which can be found as "rollei_case.stl". To achieve better performance, I mounted the camera upside-down and added counterweight to its side. The result was exactly what I wanted. You can see the gimbal in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7huOkjO0eY I decided to redesign the case for the new mounting method, resulting in the "upsdown" design. I also incorporated arms made by MikeyB, which were mirrored to accommodate the upside-down setup. The electronics used include a STorM 32 Brushless Gimbal Controller (BGC) and two 2208 motors. For configuration details, please visit http://www.olliw.eu/storm32bgc-v1-wiki/Main_Page. I created a plate called "cross_gim_controller.stl" to mount the STorM 32. You can see another video of the gimbal in action on a windy day: https://youtu.be/rfHGFipKrgc I have also included the FreeCad-files for your reference. UPDATE Jan. 2017: I added a shortened battery tray to reduce camera movement caused by ABS prints, and printed it again in PLA for better stability.
