360 pan servo for fpv

by zodrik | April 30, 2013 | (3) Posted in Just Fun

so i did not make a video "HOW TO" because i was not sure from the final product,but it turn to work pretty well,so is really easy to do,no solder are necessary,I just push down the potentiometer and cut of the stopper from the gear so the servo will turn 360°,then thake a few rc car gear  and bearing laying around,and that's it!!!

To me it looks like you made a continuous servo and then geared it down to move slower and to add torque. Which does make for a much easier build but it completely changes how you use it. It would be better if you could get it to behave like a regular servo (so it comes back to center when you let go of the stick).

I tried to turn a servo into a 360degree servo but I gave up because of the complexity of it. Well, I actually did make a 360degree servo that was really easy to make but it moved too fast and had no power. There was no way it could work for FPV.

thoughts about a tilt for the go pro - thinking about head tracking, and recording (switchable) fpv views

hi ,thanks to take your time to check my video...On my plane I have no rudder,so I use the rudder strick to move the camera,and i don't want the servo goes back to center!
If you want make one who goes back to center,you have to make first a 180° with resistance hack and then cut one of the 2 stopper in the servo top! Maybe is not clear,so i'll make a video to show how I did,,
