Summary

A pitch and roll gimbal, born from the idea of the "Super Simple Gimbal" by crezzee over on rcgroups
However as you can see, it is a different configuration with the "muscles" (2x9g servo's) behind the camera allowing for a super low profile design. Ideal for attaching to my Spyda 500 Quadcopter design.

In this way the camera can be tilted 90 deg to look directly down as you can see in the images.

The white components are printed from flexible filament. I use FilaFlex elastic filament from Recreus. This adds the benefit of isolating the camera from the frame vibrations and reduce the "Jello" effect.
