Hand held gimbal V2

thingiverse

I needed a quality handheld gimbal but didn't want to spend big bucks on something like the Osmo. This is version 2 of my handheld gimbal, and it's a much improved design. The battery cover fits tightly, depending on your printer, you might need to do some sanding to get it right. It uses 10mm tubing to mount the gimbal, I used some spare carbon fiber tubes from my drone. A 1000mah lipo battery fits neatly in the handle and is covered by the handle cover. I added a thumb joystick for gimbal control and screwed the cover back on, check out the link below. If you're using the joystick, remove it from its original casing and just use the circuit board, thumbstick, and wire leads. The joystick thumb cover has a 2mm post that secures the joystick circuit board in the handle. I'm using a DJI smart 3-axis gimbal, but this design would work with any gimbal that uses a 60mm rail system. The top handle can be slid along the 10mm rails and adjusted for the best grip. It also features an on/off switch; I used a spare from my parts bin, but the link below has one that would work. https://www.amazon.com/powerdayHHG-JS-Joystick-controller-Controller-Stabilizer/dp/B01L6VG13Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1490350227&sr=8-1&keywords=gimbal+joystick https://www.amazon.com/Square-Bezel-Momentary-Rocker-Switch/dp/B004GIJ05I/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1490413010&sr=8-10&keywords=square+on+off+switch
