Well, the gimbal has always been the tough nut to crush on this project
heck with it
Just going to build one using Dustin's frame
Ordering controller motors and encoders now
This gimbal is scary, going to have a lot in it when I am done, but if it works I think I will fabricate handles so I can use it on the ground, going on a three year slog to get this far and I imagine by the time I get the IMX6 and gimbal working it may possibly be spring
This one
But I think Dustin Made the yaw motor smaller than the 4108s
which is odd, since I thought the yaw motor had most of the work to do.
So the 4008 motors look like they have a 19mm bolt pattern and the 4108s have a 20mm
So I may be stuck with the 4008 or figure out some adapter to allow the bigger motors work
Just found this project. Looks incredible! Have you considered a hand held gimbal like the Zhiyun crane? Might have to prefabricate a handle extension that come back to the body, but then you might could put a motor on it to get pan functions.
it is back to flying today. Just flashed a salvaged IMX6 with open solo, upgraded the antenna and will be mounting it tomorrow. It all goes well the x8r and taranis will get packed away for a bit. Going to be odd flying that thing with a solo controller
