figured I'd build a little suspense :twisted:
stay tuned fellas... Got something in the mail today :cool: . I'm working on something tonight that I should be able to show by tomorrow. Hopefully with some video tests.
Don't worry either... If you are running a TPPacks eCCPM mod on your Raptor (which you should do anyways to reduce about 8oz.) this will work with the existing gimbal kits many of you have purchased. It could be the perfect compliment to my Carbon Gimbals.
more info tomorrow!!!

:lol: affirmative! but you don't count Gary! you've already got a bit of an inside scoop!
as of now I'm 90 minutes away from being finished with the fabrication/modification and I gotta say I sure as hell hope it performs as good as it looks. :D :D

That's what I'm talking about. Front mount panos. Flip a switch and let it fire off a 180 pano for you while you just sit there and let your ap2000i hold it for you. :D :D

Cmon, wake up sleepy head... :D
Yes, there are reasonably priced servo control boards used in animatronics that when triggered will control up to 4 servos for up to like 4 minutes.
You can program your pan servo and triger servo, so that by flipping a switch, the board will wake up, and it will pan to your pre recorded position1, then take a picture, then pan to pre recorded position2, then take a picture, then .... until you reach across your 180 degrees. It should take about 5 seconds for that to happen, but you have nothing to do but hold the heli still with your ap2000i while it is doing it.

Nice to see you're off for a little "pre-victory" bang. :smokin: :smokin: ....cause I know you couldn't possibly mean you were actually going to take a nap?????
C'mon DJ.....repeat after me, I'll sleep when I'm dead, I'll sleep when I'm dead.
Now stop F'in with the damn Raptor-Cam and get that Joker mount going. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
