Watching the footage, I was amazed how the gimbal turned everyday footage into extraordinary, smooth, high quality cinematic shots! Obviously, I wanted one... until I checked the price tag.No way would I pay that much.So I set out to build my own! Now obviously, a homemade version may not compete with a top of the line production team such as...

Each had an ATtiny microcontroller that required programming. Using a clip-on programmer seemed like the best way to get all of the boards programmed. This particular microcontroller requires ...
