GIMBAL FOR NIKON D3100

Posted by PAWAN S RAO on February 11, 2014 at 10:33am

My system uses a NIKON D3100 for still Imagery. I was planning to deploy a Gimbal for off - center targets and instances when the drone rolls.

Any Suggestions from ready available Gimbals?

Also which one of SERVO / BRUSHLESS drives will be preferred for still imagery?

If I were to fabricate one myself what should be the servos I would be requiring to handle an approximate load of 800 grams.

    Brushless is the only way to go.
    I have built a few servo gimbals and they now lie in a heap in the corner gathering dust.
    Once you have used a brushless gimbal the hassles of setting up servos and tuning their control is just not worth the effort. You will always get some jerkiness, no matter how small, with a servo gimbal.
