Carbon fiber camera gimbal
When using KX191 colour and night mode CCD camera on little
planes, I noticed that each time the camera is pointed sideways, the
large camera body works like a rudder and the plane begins to steer.
I made this carbon fiber case to hose the camera in it. The unwanted
steering stopped. Also the aerodynamics is better.
There is also video
to see how it works on FunJet in flight.
The gimbal with servos and KX 191 camera, weights 100 grams.

This is just the begginnig of a long way. We used wacuum to create
each halve of the camera bowl.

The eye on Funjet plane
The camera gimbal worked on this plane, but I found it a little heavy.
Later on I decided to remove the gimbal and place it on another plane
from Multiplex - Easy Star.
