Compact Gimbal Vertical Z ( 4th ) Axis Stabilizer by ScottyMakesStuff
by Thingiverse
Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago
UPDATE!
This design has been superseded by my new Compact Pro 4th Axis Stabilizer which produces at least 30% smoother footage than this version
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2672749
Here's a design for all you amateur and professional videographers out there!
Whereas the video gimbal stabilizer has been one of the most significant game changers for independent filmmakers the compact phone and action cam gimbal has done the same for vloggers the world over. It allows close to production quality footage using just one hand and without the need for additional camera operators and expensive equipment. In the competitive world of vlogging the compact gimbal (such as the Zhiyun Smooth Q, DJI Osmo & Feiyu G4 Pro) helps get more great looking content online more easily!
But they still lack one vital ingredient, they don’t stabilize for up and down motion and rely on the vloggers skill to minimise this motion with their arm.
This up and down vertical motion or Z axis motion isn’t always possible to reduce by hand especially with fast action or walking backwards.
That’s when I decided to build a single handed Vertical Z ( or 4th ) axis stabilizer for Phone & Action cam gimbals. After a number of design iterations I’m really happy with my Compact Single Handed Z Axis Gimbal Stabilizer. It takes vlogging Gimbal footage to that next level.
Check out the showcase video here:- https://youtu.be/wSXtcQcZbnc
The assembly is almost the same as the larger gimbal stanilizer video I made here:- https://youtu.be/6a4sg2BikhE
################## UPDATE: ###################
1) After some further testing I've added a second and more versatile spring for this stabilizer to the post printing section. There's links and a full explanation about which of the two suggested springs will be best for you.
2) There's also an additional support added that's for gimbal handles larger than 40mm. It's called ZAPG_HolderFlat60mm.stl
3) I've also given some more advice in the post printing section about setting up the fluid dampening that isn't covered in the DIY video.
The stabiliser will hold a payload (gimbal & phone) of between 250 gram to 1.2 kg. If your payload is 1kg or higher then I suggest my two handed version of this gimbal stabilizer here:-https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2450913
This stabilizer is designed for gimbals with a 1/4 -20 thread on the base (which is most of them) but this won't work on the DJI Osmo as it's missing it. If anyone has a Osmo and wants to remix a holder for it then I'm sure it'll be appreciated!
The full list of parts and links is found in the Post Printing section below.
There's two gimbal holder parts. The ZAPG_HolderFlat.stl is for gimbal handles up to 40mm diameter. The other ZAPG_HolderFlat60mm.stl will hold up to a 60mm diameter handle.
