think big, think heavy. or think different.. to overcome the recoil you're looking at some serious engineering and heavy gyros...Anvh wrote:
Your welcome Gary, would be interested what your results would be.
One thing though, are those gyros on your R/C Heli used on his own to stabilize it or was their output submitted to the rotors?
I believe it's the later one you see so the Gyros wouldn't have enough mass/energy to keep your camera stabilize, although I can just as easily be wrong though.
The older gyros had a pair of brass discs and were electronically coupled to the control system. I am considering inertial resistance by larger alloy discs. Looking at the site you linked too, a small system was quoted at 30lbs weight! I also suspect they use gyro stabilised gimbal mounts.

Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

No recoil. These use C02. Also not sub FAC air rifles. Very quiet and accurate at reasonably close range and not normally used like a typical sniper rifle. Heavy due to cylinder capacity.K10D wrote:

AH! ok.No recoil. These use C02. Also not sub FAC air rifles. Very quiet and accurate at reasonably close range and not normally used like a typical sniper rifle. Heavy due to cylinder capacity.

maybe try a servo controlled trigger... as well..seems to me pulling the trigger, not unlike pressing the shutter is where the operator is most like to induce a shake....

Better get 2 new 2.5" HDDs, attach one vertically one horizontally, some interface to connect to the camera and you will have an ultimate camera photo storage + stabiliser in one
Kind regards,

Your website has come along well since you first drew attention to it. It looks extremely professional, and should be an example to all.

Hard discs? Ridiculous. Try getting a new battery halfway up K2. I always use the Bludgeon Engineering solution, which was presented to Bolton Enterprises in 1989 but ended up in a car boot sale in Cyprus a few years ago. Trouble is, I've lost the string. Apologies for the quality of the pic. It's late.

K2?
Perhaps Pentax should name more of their models after mountains, and after mountains with more exciting names than K2. The new white ones would sell much better if named Mont Blanc, for instance.

They could very well do that George.
The lower the mountain the more entry level it is or how higher the more pro it is, it could work you know.
