The high-end MōVI stabilized camera system is based on the same brushless gimbals we use for stabilized aerial imaging work. I put this handheld GoPro HERO3 gimbal together in just a few minutes using a Rotorpixel HERO3 gimbal (http://rotorpixel.com), an Opteka X-Grip, 2S LiPo battery, 4 x AA battery housing, and a servo tester.

Who says brushless gimbals need to be attached to multirotor aircraft? I took a Rotorpixel HERO3 brushless gimbal and adapted it into a handheld GoPro stabilization system by adding an Opteka X-Grip, 2S LiPo battery, 4 x AA battery housing, and servo tester. Freefly Systems made news at NAB this year by announcing the MōVI, a high-end, stabilized camera platform ...

Add a knob to your Phantom remote for gimbal pitch control

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOZZ07E6htE] For my non-Phantom quads, I use a Spektrum DX8 radio, which has plenty of channels including one on a knob, which is perfect for controlling the pitch of a gimbal (so you can make the camera look up and down during flight). The Phantom radio has a secret 7th channel which can be ...

I set up a Rotorpixel Gimbal Hero 3 today (made specifically for the GoPro HERO3 camera), and it is totally awesome.  The GoPro Hero 3 camera just snaps into the camera mount, and the whole gimbal can be powered off of the auxiliary power lead on a DJI Phantom quadcopter. The isolation mount is flexible, so ...

DJI Phantom with Rotorpixel Gimbal Lite and wire-isolation mount, GoPro HERO3 Black camera set to 2.7K/30p, Graupner carbon-fiber props, and landing gear extensions. It was a really windy day—you’ll see the props in the frame as the quad angles itself to stay ...

Keri sent me one of the early Rotorpixel Gimbal Lite prototypes, which I promptly attached to my DJI Phantom quadcopter and sent into the air, holding a GoPro HERO3 Black camera. The gimbal controllers and motors are being powered by Phantom’s auxiliary power cable (with JST connectors soldered on).
