Double E rc Rock crawler

 This is an update on the rock crawler i reviewed  on the 15/3/20, as you can see I'm experimenting with cameras on it, but at this time I am awaiting batteries as the one I have doesn't seem to want to charge as it's not been used for a while. 

Update: the 4x4 decided to acquire a connection fault somewhere, but so far having stripped it down, I still haven’t found anything, so cannot try the 2D gimbal yet, so I’ll keep at it. I have tried the camera on top as in the pic, on the dampener & foam, but it’s worse than the mobius was on the front bonnet.

More to follow.







I have an sjcam on top with some dampening, & a mobius low down on the front.


But for something which probable will work I'm toying with the idea of putting the D2 gimbal off my old Cx20 drone onto a frame to hang at the front, & when I've managed it I'll post it on my youtube channel, should be fun!!
UPDATE: Didn't bother with gimbal off cx20 as i bought the gopro hero7 with it's own stabilisation.

A different take on the Fimi Palm

 


If you've come here from my youtube channel, may i say welcome, as i said the little 3 axis gimbal  fimi Palm I think is a brilliant concept in photo stabilisation, but from the time i had it in my hand, it's also a very delicate bit of gear. I still keep looking at it on youtube to see what others are saying about it, there's lots of positive reviews but there are also some who seem a bit wary like me, so watch this space.
