360 Photography Motorised Panorama Head

First off, let me please ask that if you like these designs and find them useful please do like, follow and share my content. And if you have any ideas or concepts to modify the content I would love to hear! I have begun this motorised 360 panorama camera gimbal in Fusion 360, and wanted to upload my progress with it to Thingiverse as I work towards finishing it off. This is a project that I have been planning to do for a while now and am excited to finish the concept and share it with others. If you want all of the STL files, please ask or open the Fusion 360 design file and find them all within there. At this point in time I am designing it based off of my only DSLR body which is a Canon 7d MKII. I will attempt to make it somewhat universal for all other similar sized cameras. So far it is merely a mock up of Version 1.0. The head will be powered by NEMA style stepper motors driven with GT2 type belts. The control will be via an Arduino and motor driver shield. All will be given under the open source licensing schemes. The design will incorporate a user programmable interface and wireless control. As this is very much in its infancy, please do share any thoughts or ideas. I would love to head! :)
