I did that gimbal and looks working fine. Little bit for tuning...
Maybe some sugegstions?
GoProd gimbal for $4.99

Jani did update the product description on his site...
So can we move on to something more constructive now?

This mount was inspired by the work done by Jakub in Poland.
Wow, I have been designing exactly this same mount in the last couple of days. A basic 2 axis mount for the go pro that holds the camera with an elastic. During my design I came to the hypothesis that a 2 axis mount like this would give inherently smoother control on a quad if the degrees of freedom pivot under the camera's center of gravity. Can this mount work equally when installed upside-down? And to reiterate the question, will the design files be made available for modification? Thanks for the great work!
Jordi has tweeted he has a dual gopro system working. I await the price! It sounds like those $1200 copters will soon be $2000.
It was only a few years ago that Jordi blogged about working towards the sub $100 range. How times change :)
Oh well, back to Jack Crossfires wooden wonders or maybe hobbyking will do something for us :)
The original idea is really really nice. IMO, the author deserve the credit.
However, I gave up from the original, since I saw it here (if not the original... that is really a copy).
It was because I got afraid of some bad junctions with tilted washers and nuts.
As a customer, all I know is: that one from Jani gave me the confidence which I needed to invest on it.
Well... anyway, here goes a suggestion: Jani, I love that icon on the "roll" part. But, all those JD on everywhere is kinda really over... :P Maybe adding a small and discrete "www.jdrones.com" on the camera plate would be very elegant and it does accomplish the purpose.
Speaking of Ardupilot being open source, I posted a couple of days ago here, asking if anyone knows where I can find the current schematics for the oilpan/IMU as the ones linked on the store are for version F, the store is selling version H.
Also it seems that the magnetometer does not have any eagle files, the files are only posted in pdf form.
I cant seem to find the latest eagle files for these two products anywhere. But i guess maybe the guys at teh store have forgotten to update the links, would be nice to get them updated though.
Yes, there are no camera mount drawings yet. I would like to know if they will ever be published?
Drawings of Arducopter are here: http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/Replacement
But there are no mounts yet...
I thought Aducopter is opensource, but I don't see the published plans for this mount. Is there a change of policy?
