Between firmware and software, PCB designs and 3D-printable parts, everything is ready for you to go. Built-in calibrations and checks get the headache out of the setup process.
Film for 10 hours on a single charge, enjoy 15 watts of peak power and standby time measured in years.
A gimbal is a device that lets you shoot smooth video by canceling out unwanted camera movements. They come in many shapes and sizes, from tiny ones with integrated cameras to heavy-duty devices for DSLRs or film cameras, often mounted on drones or cranes.
OpenGimbal can be all of those! The philosophy behind OpenGimbal is to make every single part customizable and extensible for your own needs. The provided designs allow you to get started with a small but powerful smartphone gimbal in a few hours, but you can always adapt them to your own needs.
