A highly advanced camera system consisting of a pan/tilt platform designed specifically for capturing high-resolution aerial photographs from kites. This robust system utilizes two high-speed servos that can be effortlessly controlled via an on-board computer or a remote control receiver, ensuring seamless operation in various environmental conditions. The top frame of this exceptional system has been meticulously modified from the Titan 2 Rig, while the leg supports are crafted from the sturdy Redstone Rig components. The Picavet suspension shaft forms an integral part of the panning mechanism, guaranteeing smooth and precise movements. Gears for this sophisticated platform have been carefully designed by experts in the field and can be sourced from reputable websites such as Thingiverse, including references to designs number 621348 and 20661. Enthusiasts interested in acquiring pre-packaged kits to construct this exceptional pan/tilt rig can find them readily available at The KAPtery. Assembling the components of this remarkable camera system requires a series of steps, which are conveniently outlined in detailed instructions also accessible at The KAPtery. To initiate panning operations, simply place a 0.312" diameter solid fiberglass rod into position as the axis for rotational motion. This unique axle is complemented by custom-sized gears, a bushing (spacer tube), and precise holes within the top of the upper rig frame, ensuring optimal functionality. Additionally, the small gear is designed to seamlessly integrate with the spline of a high-performance Fitec continuous rotation micro servo. To facilitate effortless assembly, detailed step-by-step instructions are provided by The KAPtery, enabling enthusiasts to successfully complete the camera system setup and commence capturing breathtaking aerial photographs from kites.
