GO-PRO HERO Retractable 360 PAN 120 TILT
I like looking 90 degrees down below my FPV plane, as well as right behind it with the camera pointing at its tail. This could be done only if the camera is exposed below the fuselage. Such mount would get damaged while landing. I am thinking about a retractable 360 Pan and 120 Tilt mechanism that will do the job. I have already made a similar design.
http://www.youtube.com/user/Andrita35#p/u/6/snwp6onsyIg That one is too complicated and expensive to reproduce. I plan the Go pro retractable mount to cost just a little more then the other mounts. It should be easy to built and adapt to your existing air frame. Anybody has seen a similar design or has any idea when looking at my pictures? |

Accordingly to the scale, you´ll need an empty cilinder of around 20cm diameter and 20-25cm height...
What plane do you want to use that have this empty room? |

wouldn't it be easier to put some landing gear on the plane?

Landing gear - Yes it would be easier. Who of you hates landing gear in the view - I do. If the video should look cool, there must be nothing in the view.
Plane? There are a lot of them. One must choose or construct wide enough fuselage. Easy star would not do though. I am not sure about the bay diameter yet, but I am working, getting exited. |

Sorry, I had just woke up from the nap and was a bit susceptible

Is the whole go pro cam assembly supported by just the pan servo output shaft? If so, you will have play that may induce vibrations. Try to support the mount with more then just the output shaft.
Why the odd geometry on top plate? Is it already designed to fit a specific plane, or intended for all? |
