Default Gimbals.

I've bought a few super cheap parts to make a SSG (Super Simple Gimbal) but if it doesn't not work really well - then this looks the dogs nuts for the coin

To add to the mix - Team Blacksheep have announced a Gimbal for the TBS Discovery - this looks interesting....

Decided to build my SSG (super simple gimbal) as my 2 micro servos arrived today.

Very impressed with it - still needs a bit of work - but overall it's miles better than mounting the keychain camera to the quad as it pretty much maintains the horizon line as opposed to making you feel very ill whilst watching the video back.

I had to put on firmware 1.6 for the KK2, with the SSG mod for it to work - but then it works a treat

Wiring is a real mess at the moment as the servo leads only just reach the board

Piccy:


Nice.

TBS Discovery Pro video:

This has got to be the frame setup to have...

No pricing at yet, but it's expected to be under $700 for the frame and gimbal!
