Nice experiment. The servo being mechanical will always have latency and some slop due to gear tolerances. This does good job of removing larger and slower roll motions, but leaves smaller / quick motion effects. Recently a new open-source software called Gyroflow has become available. It allows use of FC blackbox gyro data to stabilized video in post processing. There are also some camera's with gyro recording built in, so make stabilizing video easier. In last couple months a cheaper example offering gyro-stabalization is the run-cam Thumb (~$50 US and weighing only ~10g). Andrew Newon (channel) has some good examples of using servo stabilization. My favourite is camera, servo on a stick away from the plane, looking back, capturing the plane in flight.
you were right, first i never have a thought to put any mechanical stabilizer because this days the image stabilizer technology from a camera were good enough, but all still too pricey for me (comparing with a dollar damage cost by this way) :lol
that's the lack from the ardupilot, they do not fully document and detail every function that exists, like this one? it's been around for a very long time (over 8 years ago) but I wouldn't be surprised many still don't know about it until they watch a tutorial video
May be Is not the best stabilizer, but for a tiny plane is a good solution to avoid adding too much weight on it, congrats for your happy ending experiment
That's exactly what I'm trying to give a big picture from this experiment, not too bad handling in windy conditions and i guess just need test with a few brands of servos (not with this cheap servo) for anyone interested to trying :)
Hi Benz, I just googled "Ardupilot gimbal stabilization" and your video came up 😊 I like the result. Yesterday I was trying to get my FC to do this, but I cannot get it "active". Am I missing a prior/initial step apart from setting the servo to function "MountRoll"?
@@benznote2342 Thanks for the quick reply! It was a combination of restarting and setting "type" and "servofunction" in the correct order. It works now 😁
You got too much time on your hands nice truck I honestly thought you were going to tie it in with your aeilerons i haven’t uploaded anything too busy Making payments on my semi truck gotta keep rolling to make money diesel is $700 usd a day to drive

I learned something new. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing I had no idea you could do this ! ITS AWESOME !
Hi DB, Thank you!

hi mike, you have to restart FC every time you change the parameters in the mount function

I thought about trying the same thing you stated. Tap into the ailerons but then I just bought caddx peanut that stabiilze videos for me.
oh sure i will do the same if i were you, unfortunately no one interest to hire a lazy old guy like me, thats why i ended in the bench all day :)
