Human: 3D printable brushless gopro hero3 gimbal for TBS Discovery quadcopter frame.Presentation video:Check out this flying video:I've also posted a video showing my quadcopter setup and how to mount the parts:Keep in mind that if you buy the TBS Discovery Pro from Team Black Sheep, you won't need this brushless gimbal as it already has one: http://team-blacksheep.com/products/prod:discoproUpdate: This gimbal also works with the original gopro hd heroAnd likely with the hero 2 too. I've added a modified version in file hero1mod.zip, optimized for hero1 - but I haven't tested it myself and won't be able to.Update:TBS Core is not compatible with this gimbal as it gets in its way.I'm working on finding a solution to this problem. Instructions:Print all the parts first. The roll motor mount (pl-roll-mm.stl) needs support during printing.Several prints can be tricky, you may need to drill holes and clean up with a knife after.Printing.The gimbals IMU is glued to the underside of the small plate that protrudes on the down side of the gopro mount.Build it using parts from the goodluckbuy gimbal (see bill of materials).You'll need to cut away parts of the TBS Discovery frame. Yes, you will have to mutilate your frame to use this gimbal - be careful not to cut or drill into any electrical traces in the plates.See the included picture for where to make the cuts.cutplates.jpeg.You need to glue or tape the fpv camera to the mount, and may need to file the hole a bit to get it to fit.Do not force the parts together, as they might break. If they don't fit smoothly, try drilling holes or filing them instead.Fly and enjoy your stabilized video!P.S.
