Hmm, unfortunately I was expecting what you said. So what would you do to speed up the overall rotation without getting to much of jitters and stuff that makes the final movie unusable? I have a camera, that only needs to rotate around its lens axis and align with the horizon that way. I am...

Hey guys, right after finishing the modification of the fast Savox brushless servo (0.06s) I am still having problems with the overall speed of my system. I am using the hoverfly gimbal controller with the Savox SB-2271SG. My university project needs to rotate the camera more than 360°. I am...

Okay, I got the Savox SB-2271SG modified for CR. :) I made a short photo-story to show you my steps. It's possible, not too complicated and works perfectly. 1) Remove the screws, the top and bottom cap and the metal gears. 2) Use a small screwdriver or similar to push the top plastic up and...

Thanks for your replies! I read about the 2272 having a magnetic encoder. If that's true, wouldn't it be enough to only modify the gears and leave the rest untouched?

Thanks Andrew! I already tried the sparkfun board, but I am not good at programming and my final control-board was just not good enough. Besides it got burned some days ago. My time is running away and I needed a working stabilization system that is as small and light as possible. That is the...

Hi guys, my name is Christian and I am really new the the world of Gimbal systems. I am 29, studying mechanical engineering at the RWTH University in Aachen, Germany. Currently I am working on a big project for university that is dealing with the development of a camera stabilization system (on...

Hey guys, I have a short question concerning the connection of the servos to the Hoverfly Gimbal system: Do I need the potentiometer / encoder do be connected with the gimbal system? I need to use a continuous rotation servo, that does not need any potentiometer / encoder. If I modify a servo...

Hey guys, I am currently building a camera stabilization system for an university project. The goal is to automatically align the camera (Go Pro Hero 3) with the horizon. I am using the hoverfly gimbal system as controlling unit. The last thing that's still missing is a very fast actuator for...
