@Mike, yes a continous servo and zoom camera will bump up the cost somewhat :/

The KK board is aparently very programmable, there are many custom firmwares available, perhaps the fixed wing stabilise version can be used as a starting point.

Either way, I believe there's a huge demand for a nice & cheap camera gimbal, hobby class. I'm sure many people here can put something together for less than $200. If they can take it to 3DR or HK etc, we'll all be very happy ;)

" - Camera $ 40 "

 

Not the camera in this video or any other camera able to see a human from 500ft+ will be under $300.

 

I have gone down this road and the only cheap option is a high quality FPV camera with a fixed focal length lens (50mm max) which just isn't good enough and still costs over $100.

Nice job :)

I think you guys should go for it.  Do the work, make your price and see where it goes.  It's a very good looking gimbal that will catch someone's eye.
