GoPro Pan-N-Tilt RC

Step 11: Radio

So the RC stuff I took my crashed RC helicopter,  took it apart to get the radio stuff and just zip-tied it to the arm i made for the mount. then I just guessed a few times to get the right channels

This is quite freaky. I just spent my last weekend building an almost identical rig for my gopro! The main difference between mine and yours is in the electronics. I used one of the gimbals from an old/cheap TX i had and hooked it to an Arduino to control the servos. The defining difference here is that the servos will stay where you move them to, and they move faster with greater movement of the stick. i.e, they do not automatically re-center when you let go of the stick (i have a button for that). Happy to share if you or anyone else is interested.

I orignal used an arduino to control this but it was too jittrey for me,(and Im bad with code) so I rumaged around and came up with the RC stuff, I do have plans for some of the other chanels on the transmiter. the servos Im using now are cheep so Im thinking of geting some digatal ones to see if i can get it a bit smoother and mabby quieter

Id like to see what you did with your rig as well!
