H-copter fpv cam tilt mount

thingiverse

My quadcopter frame is running an APM2.6 flight controller and I didn't want to waste its onboard gimbal stabilization features, so I quickly designed this add-on, printed it out, fitted it to my frame, and test-flown it throughout the morning. I'm thrilled to report that it works incredibly well. The parts are held together with assorted 2mm screws and bolts lying around, but anything under 10mm in length with a 2mm thread diameter will do just fine - even the ones that come with servo motors are sufficient. The Tower-Pro MG995 digital high-speed servo is being used, but any similar-sized servo will work. I recommend not using smaller digital servos because they often lack the torque needed for smooth movement, which is essential for a gimbal. Don't use analogue servos either; they can't keep up with fine movements. Overall, this is a simple concept designed to do one thing - provide pitch cam stabilization, and it does so flawlessly in my opinion. I've used my snap-on/snap-off fitting style, making it a 30-second job to swap out or replace the gimbal if needed. Print Settings Printer: Colido Printrite DIY 3D printer Rafts: No rafts were used.
