What servos do you use on your camera mounts?

Posted by Christopher Cooper on March 25, 2012 at 5:26am

I've been using cheap and nasty 9g servos for my mount, one came from sparkfun, one from HK, others elsewhere. Anyway, I'm now 3 for 3 in having stripped the gears in them, they don't seem up to the task.

I'd like to get a feel for what actually works. Who makes tough servos? What are you guys using?

Cheers,

Chris

You must buy metal geared servos! emax es08md are what I use and they are fine. bought from giantcod (in the UK).
