Skywalker FPV Pan and Tilt Turret

I never liked the plywood platforms that many Skywalker builds use to carry their FPV camera because I felt it ruined the Skywalkers nose. So I made this pan and tilt turret that sits inside the removable canopy. For pan I use a sail winch servo from HK which I limit on the transmitter so it only rotates 180 degrees each direction. The pitch servo is just a simple 9G hotglued to the back of the 600TVL Sony camera. The small cog is a friction fit on the servo head and you only need a bit of CA to glue down the hollow pin that holds down the turrets base. The outer dome is also just attached with a bit of CA. There is enough space for the cables of the camera and the 9G servo to be routed through the middle axis so the cables never get tangled or twisted. Here is a video of the whole thing in action: https://goo.gl/photos/iXJ8qKvhhXwxdMGB9
