Retractable low profile Pan Tilt gimbal for Volantex ASW28

thingiverse

This is a simple all printable retractable pan tilt gimbal for Volantex ASW28 (but may be adapted on various aircrafts). Pan tilt gimbal for fpv, in combination with a headtracker, provides a very natural feeling. But for gliders, the drag is too costly. So I designed this retractable gimbal to be used in combination with a fixed camera on the tail fin. When the front camera (retractable) is not used, it retracts to save drag. Designed for 14mm wide cameras (nano type). Ok with foxeer predator v5 and Runcam Nano. Two versions are available : **pan-tilt only** or **retractable pan-tilt**. ### Print parts For both you will need to print the following files : * *tilt_camera_brackets.stl* which comes in normal version (suitable for Runcam nano) or *longer* version (suitable for Foxeer predator nano v5 which is a bit longer). * *pan_bracket.stl* If you don't want the retraction, just print *pan_servo_mount.stl* and glue it to the inside surface of the canopy. If you care about your drag print the following files : * *retractor_internal_part.stl* * *retractor_external_part.stl* * *retractor_gear.stl* ### BOM * pan servo : [270° DM-S0090D](https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/4000056467965.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2fra). * tilt servo : nano size 1.7g [AFRC-D1302](https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/4000694086134.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2fra&spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.6b0e3c006ON1yP&mp=1) * elevator servo (optional) : any 9g servo like [this one](https://www.banggood.com/Volantex-9g-Plastic-Gear-Analog-Servo-With-350mm-DuPont-Cable-For-Phoenix-V2-759-2-RC-Airplane-p-1409855.html?gmcCountry=FR¤cy=EUR&cur_warehouse=CN&createTmp=1&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=cpc_bgs&utm_content=sandra&utm_campaign=sandra-ssc-fr-all-0812-0222&ad_id=455980547277&gclid=CjwKCAiAvOeQBhBkEiwAxutUVM9v6izKNa3Mztg5_8wC8UWDd2YniyFeRUS9gdumr6HxdDBbEQyLlhoCo8YQAvD_BwE) https://youtu.be/p70sJdWsw7I https://youtu.be/h_T77k5SABU
