The GoPro Camera Assembly
The GoPro camera assembly includes a padded support for a GoPro 3 (any edition), an optional
support for an SD camera (FatShark CMOS, with ‘GoPro equivalent’ Lens, highly reommended).
For the standard version of the XuGong, a simple tiltonly gimbal using a Hitec HS65MG servo
(or similar) is supported. This is a fairly robust mechanism, which works well for a quad which
will be crammed into a backpack during travel.
The ‘HB’ version of this servo works also, but the gears are a bit fragile for this application.
A brushless gimbal is under development for the XuGong, and will be available in early 2014.
Several 3rdparty brushless gimbals have been successfully used on the XuGong, including the
Tarot, which with a few simple modifications can be mounted on the XuGong’s front bulkhead.
