Just wanted to post a quick update. My joker finally got some balls:D
The ball was made by me. I found a really nice 11" half sphere at ikea which i used to create the final mold, then used that mold to create the two halves of the sphere. Turned out pretty good i think for my very first try at doing a mold and fiberglass work.
The ball was the last part of the joker bird, she is now complete, the mount is wired up with gyro roll, the tilt and pan work great, and so far, knock on wood, everything is running very smooth.
