TBS Discovery (Team BlackSheep) Brushless Gimbal / upgrade to Discovery Pro ***NOW ALSO WITH OPTIONAL FPV TX MOUNT***

thingiverse

NOW IT WORKS!!! PRINTABLE AND FUNCTIONAL DESIGN!!! Minor tweaks will arrive soon enough, though! The new design of the TBS Discovery Gimbal made by Nathan_ really inspired me. I've recently added a main plate, which offers the possibility to add an FPV video transmitter mount specifically designed for the FatShark 250mW 5.8 GHz TX. This clever solution gets rid of the need to hook up the TX under an arm or on the top plate. The transmitter is now at a safe distance from the RC receiver and the GPS antenna can be mounted in the middle of the top plate without worrying about interference. If you're interested, simply download and print the main plate and TX mount! I added my own custom GoPro mount to the design, offering the possibility to mount the GoPro upside down if needed and two openings for easy access to the buttons. Furthermore, this mount is capable of working seamlessly with both the original 30-pin FPV out in an inverted or normal orientation! Note that using the normal USB FPV out is still an option. Initially, I wasn't a fan of the way the vibration dampers were mounted horizontally rather than vertically in Nathan's design. Therefore, I modified them and now the GoPro can be positioned even closer to the frame, reducing the risk of oscillations occurring. Please keep in mind that pictures may show an older version of my work. My revised design with the rear vibration damper inside the TBS frame has been completed and is now live! RELEASE NOTES: -V_0.2.3: I refined the dimensions for better accuracy, added a shaft hole to the roll mount, included a new main plate design that requires less material, and made some additional adjustments. -V_0.2.2: Minor improvements were implemented; bottom plate thickness increased for greater durability, and rounded edges were introduced to make the roll mount more ergonomic. -V_0.2.1: This release focused on enhancing stability and introducing new mounting holes for easier assembly. -V_0.2: The improved pitch mount took center stage, while work began on a new main plate and corresponding roll mount design. -V_0.1.1: I fixed the dimension issues that plagued the STL files in the previous version. -V_0.1: Unfortunately, it still had several major problems - notably the roll mount was too low and too long. Instructions: Material needed: 1x Main plate 1x Roll mount 1x Pitch mount 1x GoPro mount (similar to Nathan's creation) 4x Vibration dampers 2x 2208 Gimbal BL Motors 1x BGC (BaseCam or any other model) Oh, and let's not forget the TBS Discovery!
