Mountable 3-Axis Brushless Gimbal for GoPro Style Camera by Sidux

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Edit (23.04.2017):
I added a GoPro-style mounting containing 3 STL-files. The GoProStyle_Schuh_ZMR250.stl is to be bolted to the bottom plate of the ZMR-frame. The other 2 are bolted together and replace the Storm32 plate.

This is a 3-axis brushless gimbal frame for a GoPro style camera which can atleast pan +/-360° (depending on your wiring).
I had the components for a 3-axis gimbal at home for a while but when I saw a video taken with a 3-axis brushless gimbal on a ZMR250, I had to build mine and stick it onto my ZMR250.
Motors used (just google the names):
Pan: RcTimer 2804 Hollowshaft Brushless Gimbal Motor
Roll: Turnigy HD 2212 Brushless Gimbal Motor
Roll (alternative): DYS BGM2208 70T Brushless Gimbal Motor (short shaft)
Pitch: DYS BGM2208 70T Brushless Gimbal Motor (short shaft)
(I would recommend to get the DYS for both pitch and roll.)
Controller used:
Storm32 BGC ... I only had an I2C IMU module so i used that and routed the cable away from the motor wires.
Damping Balls:
I had those 65g damping balls at home, so I designed it for those (8 pieces).
The camera housing is designed for an Andoer C5 Pro (https://goo.gl/images/gn2LkZ).
If you put it onto a ZMR250, you can print the landing legs aswell. They just clip into the bottom plate and provide enough ground clearance for the gimbal.
Here are some videos which were taken with this gimbal mounted to my ZMR250:https://youtu.be/8__Qv2TvpwUhttps://youtu.be/SWOXpwubFVY
