I made this with a couple servos, a couple of ServoBlocks, some extruded aluminum beams and an Arduino. I’ll probably end up using a smaller camera or even a cell phone instead of the camera in the video.
ServoBlocks
First Look at ServoBlocks (from servocity.com)
I’m making a gyro stabalized two axis camera gimble for a navigation recording system. I was starting to design the mechanics for the gimbal, when I found out about ServoBlocks. ServoBlocks make mounting servos to things much easier. Here’s my first hands on look at the ServoBlocks, I just got in the mail:
This is a video from servocity.com that demonstrates the type of stuff you can do with ServoBlocks:
