Yet Another Poor Man's Handheld Brushless Gimbal Ever since I got the Mavic pro i haven't been using my home built drones for aerial photography anymore. So I figure I'll turn my cheap chinese 2 axis brushless gimbal into a handheld one so i can use it when i go traveling. I've looked at the other designs on thingiverse but i didn't like that they all left wires hanging about in the open. No offence to the other designers... I wanted one that would look much cleaner and travel better without having to worry about wires snagging on stuff. So I set out to design my own. I designed this to be used with an EKEN H8 Plus and action cam with the same body format as Gopro Hero 3. This design makes use of contact adhesive to glue the parts together and requires soldering and basic electronics skills. Some filing and fitting of the parts may be required. Do not attempt if you have a problem with any of the above. Update March 25, 2018 - added Gopro Hero 5/6 mount - over sized sensor slot to accommodate different sensors. - includes 2 types of sensor clips; an inside clip or outside. - Use a piece of double sided tape on the back of the sensor to help it stay in place. - added bottom case rev2 - increased thickness and added counter sink for nuts - added grooves to help position the handle when gluing
