HI there

Heres a few pics of my groundstation , Im using a 7 turn helical made by circular wireless , Immersion rc v2 GS and the immersion rc diversity 5.8ghz receiver.

The pan and tilt system is using HI TEC servos, tilt is direct drive and the pan is geared with an 18wire slip ring running through the centre gearing axel . I've added an amp and voltage lcd display with battery indictor built in. On the rear panel i have more av sockets added along with dc power jack, servo connectors for testing and a power outlet to power my black pearl screen.

The whole tracker unit is very compact and fits into a lunch box that i carry in my flight bag along with my trip pod,only down side to that is i have no where for my sandwiches! lol

Any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers...Aaron

I thought EFPV had stopped making the trackers?

Wanted one of the kits to use with Eagletree Eagle eyes.......

Hi mate, yes unfortunately efpv stopped making these a few years ago but i managed to get my hands on one a couple of years ago before they stopped. I ended up taking all the specs and measurements of my own as a few of my mates wanted them so we cut quite a few frames on my buddys CNC machine and sourced all the bolts,bearings,gearing and slip rings to build them. Im sure if you were in serious need of one i could get you one cut.

Cheers....Aaron

Would be interested or if you have the dimensions and parts list I could print one.

I have a servo city pan tilt so only really need the base with 360 to go with the tilt part of the servo city.

HI Richie, ill get a chat with my mate over the weekend to see if he has the dimensions handy, not sure what CAD programme he is using for the CNC machine but might be able to get a copy of the file, should have a parts list knocking around somewhere here, ill PM you the info once i get it sorted. 3D printed would look cool!
