The tilt (pitch) servo mounted and working in the heavy DSLR mount system:
as followers know, my copter will carry a 1.5kg DSLR system.
I'll be testing the mount with DSLR attached really soon,
so i can figure out if this 13kg servo is enough.
some 'intuitive' tests showed it has great torque, but might be a bit at the edge at certain positions.
I'm ordering 17kg servos anyways...
any other idea for this application ?
actually i think of a worm gear as a perfect solution,
it can have a HUGE torque, and plus it is locking in position (without the motor having to push) which is what i need.
but i'm not going to assemble my own worm gear.
do you know of any ready to buy assembly ? servo-like ?

wow, i like the medium size tilt assembly of servocity,
but it costs more than a 5-servos order i intended to make for the 17kg servos
i think of modifying a servo to do more than 90 degrees, by that increasing the traveling distance and allowing higher ratio between the servo and the tilt mount.
i need 90 degrees on the camera tilt, so now it's a 1:1 ratio...
you must check this page http://servocity.com/html/pan_tilt_roll___accessories.html it can give ideas. They have also good servos :)
What props are you using with that payload?
