Eye in the Sky

The prototype is ready for testing!


Want to take 3D pictures? Then you need a 3D camera. Or two cameras in this case (even got the right colors).
Want to fly with this contraption? They it has to be as light as possible!


Two carbon fibre tubes, length 100cm and diameter 10mm. Drilled trough a plastic box for electric components for orientation (it's good if they are parallel to each other) and bonded together with layers of super glue. The movable mounting for the camera is (for now) composed of an old xBee break out board with a hole for a 1/4'' camera mounting screw. All attached to the tubes with "snail" clamp.

Yes, the last part needs some work before it will be light enough to put on an rc plane, but for testing on the ground this works just fine.
