Build a drone video series
JayMcClellan:
I just published the Part 2 video where I assemble and get it flying:
Next I'll build the payload section with a gimbal-stabilized camera platform and FPV transmitter.
awemawson:
Looking very good Jay - if only my to do list wasn't so long already !
JayMcClellan:
I just upload the Part 3 video where I finished the camera platform and shot some aerial video of my house:
AdeV:
Jay,
Very much enjoyed your videos! I didn't realise that camera gimbals were comparatively so cheap (less than $50, over the pond here we can get them for similar money, which makes a pleasant change), I'll definitely be referring back to these when I start putting my own drone together, so thank you!
JayMcClellan:
Ade, I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. My impression of the cheap gimbal is that it is really quite decent in terms of stability, and fairly well made for the price. I think the main thing you get with higher-end gimbals, other than presumed better quality and perhaps a third axis, is a more compact design. This one does the job but it sprouts wires all over and looks aerodynamic as a rocking chair. That doesn't matter much for slow flight though.
