I can see from my FPV thread that my tilt-system have inspired people.

I have looked at lots of systems, and could see a common problem is that the tilt-servo can't take the load from the camera at hard-landings, so I created my own tilt-system. I use a Hitec HS-85BB+ MG servo as pan-servo for a smooth and strong base..

You can see the deflection at the pictures, a longer push/pull-rod could create a bigger tilt-range, but I don't see it nessesary.

I haven't made any modifications to the servos, the panning-servo rotate with endpoint at 140% in my transmitter

Have a nice flight...

Here's mine I just finished. Don't have the cam mounted on it yet but it appears like it will work well. Obviously not my design as I went with most of what I saw on other forums.
