RunCam2 Gimbal for Crossfire

thingiverse

As the videos from my Rollei410 were woefully subpar due to extreme compression artifacts, I decided to give another camera a try - namely the RunCam2. Given the distinct form of the cam-body, I had to adjust the length of the arms in order to position the lens precisely in the center. And with longer gimbal arms now in play, it makes perfect sense to employ a shortened battery-tray. To counterbalance the single motor on the right side, I added some weight on the left - namely tin coins. UPDATES Update: I've implemented a short battery-tray designed for mounting the gimbal at a lower level. More details can be found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2188215 Update2: Check out this short video - there are still some vibrations, but I attribute that to the gusts. It seems I'll need to switch to harder damping balls. https://youtu.be/h5YS4Z0wpEw Update3: I've created a shorter version of gimbal_arm1, which now enables me to run the system without counter-weights - as a result, the total weight has been reduced. However, this means I had to move the lens out of the center. Combining this adjustment with the use of harder dampening balls has eradicated the trembling/shaking issues that plagued my previous footage: https://youtu.be/TCtnjOtO6rI
