We now have 3X Pro front mounts for Align Trex 700E helicopters. The front mount kits are a direct bolt on to 700E helicopter. All hardware is included and the 3X Pro 3 axis gimbal is factory assembled.
The 3X Pro can carry a camera as large as a Canon 5D/7D. All 3 axis can be stabilized with Futaba 401 gyros (not included) or Rotorpics Picloc IMU modules (not included).
We have just released the new mkTR Professional camera mount for multirotor copters. This camera mount is a revised design from our original mkTR. Many improvements like larger size for small/mid size DSLR cameras, reduced parts count, simplified roll/tilt mechanism, much easier assembly, and more!
Beginning around Spring of 2010, multirotor copters became a sensation amongst unmanned aircraft photographers and videographers. The Mikrokopter Hexakopter sparked a global awareness of these bug like flying machines. Equipped with a host of micro sensor packages, GPS, accelerometers, gyros, pressure sensors, magnetometers, and the like, these machines are capable of nearly complete autonomous flight. If outfitted with a telemetry system, they can be flown via a laptop with a Google Earth vertical map display along with other cockpit type instrumentation.
Jago Svensson has put together a custom quadrotor copter using a Gaui GU-344 quad flight controller and one of our mkTR camera mounts. He shot the video with a Canon T2i (550D). Stunning video! The best we've seen yet from a quadrotor copter.
Our mkTR v2 camera mount was designed to work specifically with the Mikrokopter Hexa, Hexa 2, Octo, and Octo 2 multirotor copters. However, it is not limited to only those copters. Many of our customers have adapted it to use with Hoverfly, Arducopter, Gaui, Xaircraft, and other multirotor copters with great results.
The mkTR v2 is a two axis system (tilt/roll). Both axis are proportional allowing for use of camera stabilizing drive from flight control boards that support it.
The tilt axis is contained within the roll. This axis heirachy is critical to successful stabilization by the copters accelerometers/gyros. Some other companies gimbals have the roll axis contained within the tilt. This arrangement is not optimal for accurate camera movements when stabilizing electronically from a flight control sensor array (as in 99% of all current multirotor aircraft.
We offer custom building services for mutirotor and helicopter aircraft. Prices start at $4,000 (quadcopter) and go up to $9,500 for (octocopter).
