Hi All.

Had some time to kill before work today so made a camera mount for the hex. Super light, Stable and very cheap.  :P
"Borrowed" a carboard box some tape and chuck of foam and hey presto one camera mount. Not the best looking mount around but did the job surprisingly well.
What ya all think?

Wow !

Was just messing around. Got some parts on the way to make some retractable landing skids then I want to get a Gimbal. Looking at a H3 3D one. Just have to work out what bits I need. I have put the full naze32 in the hex now so have the Basic naze32 I was going to use for the Gimbal. Just not sure if that is going to work the best. The H3 3d Gimbals seems fairly decent. A bit cheaper if you don't need the GCU. Not sure what that does. Is it the drivers for the brushless motors or the gimbal control.
Need to research that all some more.
Also I don't have a gopro but something similar. Its a bit longer but so not sure if will fit. If I had to buy a go pro would be the most expensive part of it all.
Maybe will have a look around for another gimbal as well. Want to stay 3 axis I think. 2 is a damm site cheaper but.
decisions decisions.

Here was my video. Apart form he lack of Gimbal the quality seems ok .
