Title: DIY FiberGlass Gimbal Post by: Himadri Roy on August 26, 2015, 11:54:00 PM Things required
1)Servos(I used standard Futaba S3003 servos) 2)Fiberglass sheet 3)Cutting tools 4)Flame Torch or gas stove for Bending 5)Araldite First cut two strips of fiberglass measuring 2.5 cm X 26 cm (http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah197/Himadriroy1997/DSC01787_zpsvojvs8pz.jpg) (http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/Himadriroy1997/media/DSC01787_zpsvojvs8pz.jpg.html) For the camera tray cut a 3.5 cm X 23 cm As my camera's base measured 10 cm X 2.5 cm I divided the strips accordingly. After marking it I bent the strips by heating it over a gas burner.

Title: Re: DIY FiberGlass Gimbal Post by: medicineman1987 on August 27, 2015, 06:02:58 PM Nicely done.. Video of it in action please? Are you gonna control this from the flight controller itself or do you have something else in mind?
