My big concern is the robustness of the connection between the camera and the servo: it's a pretty small screw holding it all together.Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259433565415179843.post-91803934836891333722013-05-13T08:41:37.021-04:002013-05-13T08:41:37.021-04:00Not so sure it would be patentable - basically ope...Not so sure it would be patentable - basically open-source code and an Arduino.

I see you hanging with all the crazy mad-skilled surfers, body suit flying wackoes, heli pilots and aerobatic stunt flyers, avalanche skiers, base jumpers, BMX flyers, and dune-hopping dirt bikers!!!! All thanks to your mad scientist electro-skills and a few brave beta testers willing to risk everything to film their work day commutes in Montreal and Vancouver in '360-pana-Dave-O-vision'. Simply amazing. Next time blur out the circuit board secret componentry though.
