SSG Gimbal

[MrBen]

made a SSG gimbal for my quad today, all you need are a pair of servos and some odds and ends you probably have most of the gear already

SSG Gimbal test

looks good there Ben, here's hoping for good weather so you can show us some flying footage from it.

[MrBen]

So simple and effective!

Puts some of the multi dollar ones to shame, Like it!

got that dialled in pretty nice mate

[MrBen]

yeah the whole thing is bouncing a bit, got to tweak that out now but the gimbal actions themself are great

[MrBen]

Well decided to revisit the SSG this time on the V-Tail quadcopter, I wasnt happy with the way the 1.5 FW flew in acro mode (required for ssg at the time) now on 1.6 ssg fw. Trying to eliminate the bobbing, will see how it performs today as I have stiffened it up even more since this vid.

Re-visit SSG (Super Simple Gimble) Still Tweaking

The bobbing will be due to too much vibration. Are you tuning with auto-level off?
