Single HD Gyro Image stabilizer

Step 2 Design

The camera is mounted on a hinge with fastening screw. The other part of the hinge mounts a HD.
The HD can be tilted in the vertical ( Y-) plane from way under the camera to a hugging position for storage.

(my understanding of...) the theory would indicate the best position of the axis of rotation is parallel to its optical axis.

But in this design, any position of the HD Gyro can be tested. It also makes storage and transport much easier than the 2 Gyro model.
