RunCam2 Gimbal for Crossfire by willie42

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

As the videos of my rollei410 were to bad (extreme compression-artefacts) I tried another cam, the RunCam2.
Because of the different form of the cam-body I had to change the length of the arms to have the lens in the center, and because of the longer gimbal arms, it makes sense to use the shortened battery-tray.
With one motor on the right side, I added counter weight on the left (tin coins).
UPDATES
Update: I added a short battery-tray for mounting the gimbal at a lower level. More info: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2188215
Update2: Here is a little video. There are still some vibrations - besides a few gusts ;) . I think I will have to use harder damping balls.

Update3: I added a shorter version of gimbal_arm1. This makes it possible to run the system without counter-weights - as a consequence the total weight is reduced, but I had to move the lens out of the center.
This and the use of harder dampening balls makes the trembling/shaking that I had in the previous footage disappear:https://youtu.be/TCtnjOtO6rI
