After my rather disappointing results trying to get aerial footage from my kite I've designed a mount for the camera. I know I could have Googled a design but for me half the fun is in the design and prototype stages of the project.
I decided against gyroscopic stabilisation, the cost of the three powered precision gyroscopes alone killed that idea pretty quick.
I then remembered an episode of scrapheap challenge from years ago where they had to carry open barrels of paint on a vehicle trying to spill as little as possible and that inspired my design. My idea is for a mass damped stabiliser that should be as simple and quick to construct as possible, no gimbals to make and make use of existing materials.
After seeing several websites giving instructions on home built solar energy collectors I decided to have a go and build one for myself out of recycled or scavenged materials for as little cost as possible.
I don't know who to credit for the original design as there are so many variations on different sites, but if anyone knows I'll be happy to credit the original designer.
