GoPro Turrent Unit

Its my gopro 360 turrent unit proto type 2.5 just knocking some kinks out before it goes on its first flight under my quadcopter. 


Details:

Pan: 360+

Tilt:260

Its ment to be mounted it the fuselage of the HK FPV 168, with the gopro on the bottom. All the wires are ran threw a 12 cable spindle the can turn at 2200rpms with out losing connection between the wires. i have test it and it works great on the bench. after its first flight i will cut out the carbon fiber version and adapt it to the FPV 168 for its first airal recon flight.

Looks great. But it appears you could drop the mass by 20-40% by using a carbon fiber post and a belt instead of chain at a minimum.

I'm hoping it will drop the weight a great deal and a belt driven pan would work good to but the chain I'm using plastic and does not weight a lot to begin with. But it's not completed yet so and ideas are a great help to me. Thank you
