Are you going to drive the roll axis stabilization using a gyro?

Nice work....I've noted in my limited time using the E Observer. The flex issues with the Gimbal/Verical assembly. Was considering some type of bracing. Thought more along the line of CNC Plate gussets!

Another Approach:
1) Cutting the stock assembly behind the pan servo mount and installing a roll assembly there, letting it roll with springs and gyro stablized for horizontal hold!

2) That would also leave the strength for heavier cameras.

3) I ll draft it for your thoughts!

Nice Work! Good Luck!

Signwiz,
That sounds interesting, looking forward to seeing your mod. I just think the Observer platofrm has plenty of opportunities for creative modifications.

The Scorpion motor quit today, luckily it happened during a 3' hover. I tried powering it with a different ESC, but same result- it will spool up (very rough shakes) for 2 seconds, then quit abruptly.

Any idea what happened here? To my knowledge, the motor temp has never been over 145°F.
