FPV Pan system

thingiverse

360 degree FPV pan system for RC planes uses a standard throw metal gear 9 gram servo to control it. Six 4/40, 3/8 inch screws and two 8mm ID skateboard bearings are required for the assembly. Ceramic bearings are recommended as they weigh less. A short piece of standard printer belt and a small star lock washer will also be needed. The lock washer should be sandwiched between the pinion gear and camera shaft when screwing together with an M2 x 12mm screw. This allows for spacing and to ensure grip. Deck spacing can be adjusted by using spacers cut to length. The mount shaft has been updated with a 1/8 inch center hole to accommodate a carbon dowel rod glued in lengthwise for added strength. This design combines elements from two other designs, part_4_belt_drive_gear and pinion gear, both from thingiverse.com.
