Open Source

Our Dynamixel AX-12 2 Axis GoPro Gimbal was designed around the Arduino line of products to make them easy for the consumer to use, modify and upgrade them as they see fit. In order to allow everyone to make changes quickly an easily to their gimbals we have released our source code. The source code is actually very small and simple making it easy to modify.

Designed for GoPro Use

Our Dynamixel AX-12 2 Axis GoPro Gimbal was designed specifically to support the GoPro cameras. The Axis of the gimbal are both inline with the center of the lens meaning the center of your shot, will stay the center of your shot as you pan, tilt, or rotate.

    Hi There,

    Interested in the Dynamixel GoPro Gimbal. A couple of questions: Do you have any pics or vids of it mounted on a multirotor? About how much does it weigh? Will it fit the smaller new Gopro 3 with or without the GoPro case? Do you know if the Arduino APM 2.0 or 2.5 (Arducopter) can handle the control, or would it have to have its own? What’s the material it’s made of? (Sorry, that was more than a couple, I’ll STFU!)

    Best Regards & Happy Holidays

    Oliver

    P.S. Your flying crab is absolutely brilliant!!
