GIMBALL

grabcad

I made this a while back, thought I would take a closer look at it and finish the concept, not sure if it would work in reality, 2 bearings for the rotating central column probably means more friction, but can someone tell me if there would be other issues due to axial loads and alignment or machining accuracy effecting things. ie normal steadicam uses 1 RealiSlim gothic arch bearing. http://iso-l8r.blogspot.co.uk/
