TBS Gimbal for GoPro Hero 1 or 2

thingiverse

This Gimbal, designed for the TBS Discovery drone, is an improvement on fredviana's modification (which itself was based on Nathan's original design). The main change I made was to alter the camera case, enabling it to accommodate a GoPro Hero 1 or 2. The camera is held in place using velcro tape threaded through the bracket at the bottom. Meanwhile, the two top holes are for the IMU, and the two smaller ones are designed for a Tiger GB2208-80 motor. The case has an extra 10mm height to allow space for anti-vibration pads beneath the camera and screws for the IMU at the top. Credit goes to the team at http://raumfahrtagentur.org. An update was made following suggestions by mark_q from RC Groups, who recommended changes to the roll motor mount to reduce vibration issues. A new stl file called "newmnt3.stl" replaced the previous one ("mounting_plate_mod_fixz.stl"). Additionally, I modified the position of the holes for fixing the pitch motor to the gopro house ("gopro_case.stl") for easier balancing.
