Camera Mounts

This mount has been designed by Kimberly Atwell of Photohigher NZ.

It fits the Droidworx airframe gear rail assembly directly - although it requires the Droidworx extended landing gear assembly for clearance from the ground.

This full assembly (as the standard droidworx landing gear assembly does) will fit existing Mikrokopter Oktokopter and Hexakopter frames.

If you already have a Droidworx frame or standard landing gear assembly you can simply replace the standard size plates with the carbon fibre landing gear plates extended.

This gymbal is a professional level camera housing with 5: 1 tilt, 10: 1 reduction on roll for very fine and smooth gyro stabilization directly off the flight controller and on-board motion control sensors.

It is precision engineered, beautifully designed and crafted by an expert in the field of RC AP and is primarily constructed from lightweight alloys and machined engineering plastics. It has a high speed coreless roll servo with an external 10 turn potentiometer - digital servo on tilt driving a toothed belt with a fully adjustable camera table for c of g positioning and balancing.

The mount will easily house a large DSLR (canon 7D) or a high quality HD video camera - due to its weight and size it is recommended that a heavy lift hexacopter or octocopter is used. With heavier payloads shorter flight times are to be expected.
