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 ...

George Krieger took this picture of me catching my Phantom during the Steamer Lane surf shoot.

Aerial footage of surfers at Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz, California. July 21, 2013. Footage taken with a DJI Phantom quadcopter, GoPro HERO3 Black edition camera, Rotorpixel HERO3 gimbal (http://rotorpixel.com/), ReadyMadeRC FPV transmitter, receiver, and remote monitor, and modified DJI Phantom radio. I did seven 4-minute flights with the GoPro in 1080/60p Medium, and cut the video in ...

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 ...

Gallery: Add a knob to your Phantom remote for gimbal pitch control

Once you have a 2-axis gimbal on your quadcopter, it becomes really easy to take aerial panoramas. I sent my DJI Phantom quadcopter up into the air on GPS lock mode with the GoPro 3 camera taking pictures in timelapse mode—1 picture every 2 seconds. I spun the Phantom around once, capturing a full spin (360º) in ...

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 ...

ADS 400Q FPV quadcopter build

​ADS 400Q quadcopter with GoPro and FPV transmitter My first quadcopter build from scratch was a build around the Aerial Design Services 400-Q frame (ADS 400Q). The 400Q is similar to other H-frames in that it: has plenty of space to mount batteries, cameras, transmitters, and more ​allows easy center of gravity tweaking by sliding the battery ...
