servo control via pause button, has anyone here tried this?

TurboGhost · Feb 18, 2018

No, but i plan to make 1 myself. Hell if anyone else wants 1 ill do it for $45 shipped, lol

Im having one printed by makexyz for $12 bucks. Not sure who would pay $50?! Lol i just hope the soldering works out.

TurboGhost · Feb 18, 2018

Thats why i had the "lol". That is rediculous... $12 isnt too bad though, does it come with a servo or just the printed item?

Oh i didnt realize that makexyz is like 3d hubs, so its pretty much some guy in your area printing it and sending it to ya... Thats normally cool unless u get an unexperienced printer... I may actually sign up to do some printing. Thanks for posting, i may actually be able to make a few $ on the side!

Servo i got from amazon for $7 i think. Yeah just a local printer. just upload a iges to the website. I modeled one up easy.

solocleveland · Feb 21, 2018

TurboGhost · Feb 22, 2018

Seems a little off... These are reasons i built my own, lol

Any chance to get an stl file for the mount please? I'd like to try to print it but suck at 3d modeling.

These are $8 shipped. I figured it was worth a try. I plan to drop a spool of PowerPro 50# line for stringing ham radio antennas. I just ordered this from China, so it likey will be late Nov/early December before it gets here. I'm not using the standard transceiver, opting for a remote relay used to switch power to the servo instead, triggered by a keyfob device --- 0nly because i already have 4 of these lightweight remote switches. This will be mounted to an Iris+, and I may have to remove the gimbal due to overall weight. I'm running an oversized, overweight battery also (a Floureon 5400MAH 3S beastie that barely fits with the hatch shut)..
I'll let you know how it all turns out.
