Some unedited RAW video clips
16 November 2011
I have been doing continual testing on the camera stabilization with the Copter Control board. The major issue is the performance of the camera gimbal. The GoPro is fairly simple and Jakub's gimbal is working well especially with two Savox servos.
However for the Sony Nex 5 and 5N cameras there is no really good small gimbal on the market that I know of. So I wound up making my own out of plywood. The first one was a bit big and a slight bit heavier than I like. It will work all the way up to a Panasonic GH2 with the bigger gimbal. However I want something that is super small and light and I can use mini servos instead of full size servos.
So I shrank the original gimbal. The result is really encouraging. I will build one more of this gimbal and it it works well I will improve the design to include tab and slot so assembly is easier.
Here is the YouTube video of the clips. They are totally unedited and raw so they don't look like anything from JeffScholl. However there is no reason for me to post anything edited since I want to show the ability of the CC board and the camera gimbal and not any de-shaking software.
