Pan & Tilt Head - Homemade

[@Woodworker1947]

Brilliant design and it works well!!! - do like the attention on getting the camera to balance, something you don't usually see on these types of videos - well done :).

[@JYTVSOC]

Thank you for your presentation and additional information below on the pan tilt head. I will share it with my students so that they could possibly build their own.

[@claudiaftprivacy6478]

This is one of the better pan tilt heads i have seen so far, very nice smooth and steady. Great job!

[@computerjantje]

the first diy ptz that is actually stable while moving :) Good job

[@bottmaker]

Well done!! Thanks for the informative video!..... Especially love the soothing music in the background.

[@cornerstoneproductio]

Excellent Job my Friend ...well thought out!... You inspire us!

[@CMtvMultimedia]

what is the size of the big gear?

[@YUDISKSTUDIO]

i suka banget videonya bermanfaat menambah ilmu untuk d praktekan sendiri thank's

[@DanielLooper]

very clean design, thank you for the video!

[@homeworkpictureshq]

Brilliant idea

[@Greatest-1-command]

Where did you buy the motor and gears?

[@Greatest-1-command]

Where did you get the motors.

Hello Sethy Jean, Compliments of the season. It's now been two years since you've posted this video but I've just come across it. First I'll like to say very good job, well done. Second, I'll like to ask you and the community why are pan and tilt machines designed with servo motors ? I've been given a levelling project at uni and my first thought was stepper motors. But the more I research it the more I find that nobody has used stepper motors. Is there a reason apart from the lack of feedback from stepper motors. I like the joystick approach, I was tending to a app controller but I guess the joystick would be quicker and less of a learning curve. Lastly, is there any chance I could get the schematics and code from you, it will really help me on my way and my design.

[@MikeDylanWells1968]

great music..do you have a website

[@MonacoMike]

From one engineer to obviously another " Great Project " ! At first I thought you might be parking your car on it ha ha. Nice fabrication and I like the way you can adjust things. I've been wanting to but just a single axis panning unit that can rotate a full 360 + degrees and run off of a battery where I can just switch it on and off, although having it variable speed ( 0.5 to 2 rpm ) would be a plus. Again, GREAT JOB !

[@sethyjean3607]

Thank you so much!. If you wish to have just panning axis my recommendation is servocity.com. They have a gear motor gearbox for $60, motor not including, you can find a motor for less than $20, and you could get a controller from servocity.com called digital manual speed controller for $80.

[@MonacoMike]

sethy Jean Thanks Sethy Jean, I've been trying to sort though all of the things Servo City has but for me it gets a little confusing because I don't know what parts will work together. I did find a belt driven panning unit they have but they want $160 for it and then I still have to buy a motor to drive it. ( www.servocity.com/html/super_duty_belt_drive_pan_syst.html#.VOHxQS7RU3g ). I could see that I would have over $200 invested in it before I was through. That's the concept I have in mind but would like to see if I could make something smaller. What did you see that was only $60 and $20 ?

[@MonacoMike]

sethy Jean Very interesting. I missed that one. I had zeroed in the the other belt driven unit. I wonder why this one is $100 cheaper? It looks like it could very easily be changed to a belt drive. I also hadn't noticed their video available so I watched them and now am concerned about the amount of noise. Do you know if the noise is coming out of the motor or the gears? That was one problem with the little music box panning unit I made. There was to much noise where I could use it at a dinner table situation and still be able to pick up conversations. What's your experience and thoughts about using something like these for what I'm wanting to do? After looking around some more this one has possibilities also: www.servocity.com/html/ddp155_base_pan.html#.VOLLjy7RU3g but it also sounds a little noisy. Do you think they could be put inside of another enclosure with a longer shaft to mount the turntable on the outside to quiet it down? I didn't see any dimensions of the one you sent me a link for.

[@sethyjean3607]

MrGrunthunter's Adventures The noise comes only from the motor. It's not loud to mess up your work, but it's not silent. They usually use those to show nice clips using other audio source. It may not be the best for quiet conversations, unless the conversation is loud enough to cover the motor noise.

[@MaColline4321]

nice stuff brother. i am trying to make a pan and tilt head for my jib by using a car windshield motor but it is noisy and has a lot of vibration,is there any other motor i can find mybe in domestic devices?

[@Avidcomp]

Lovely job sir. (good music choice to)

[@sethyjean3607]

Thank you. It's me on the guitar playing my composition. Good that you enjoy it.

[@CanalMiguelLopez]

Very good job!

[@streglof]

Epic setup!! I am curious, as I may possibly endeavor on a similar project of my own one day, what type of bearing you may have used for the tilt axis? I don't see any holes in the aluminum, so I am curious how you secured the bearing in place. Thanks in advance, Laszlo Folgerts from the Netherlands

[@nadafdigitalstudioboroti6793]

It's super excited work

[@kareemahmed2520]

sethy Jean hi good work very very good but What type of motor and the details of which were used Please reply quickly IS the motor dc and the RPM how about ( 32 RPM or 20

[@reggaerootspromo]

good project, so what material is this made, I mean the structure, thanks

[@kobudoka1165]

Hello, your P/T head is perfect! I would like to make one for my use - can you send detailed plans at depositfiles, please?

[@petervanvught3521]

Hi sethy Jean great thing you made. one question; did you made the joy-stick controle yourself or can you supply me some details?

[@sethyjean3607]

I am sorry it took me so long to see your request. I used these controller boards, one for each motor:www.pololu.com/product/1372 and this joystick:www.servocity.com/html/2_function_joystick__thick_sti.html#.U3NEDxaAQjE. Let me know if you need more info.

[@adelkis04]

Hello again , what tipe of motor do you use on this project ? Can you provide me the information about the motors how many rpm size ...

[@sethyjean3607]

I use 12 Volt DC Geared Motor 37mm (Brushed) 6mm shaft. The speeds vary. I use low RPM such as 2 to 5 RPM. The type of camera I use get blurred when moving too fast anyway. The slowest the speed is the more steady, the stronger, and the quieter it is. But you can go up to about 35 rpm even 70, or 100 rpm if you are doing fast movement in dancing, sport type of filming, blablabla… Copy and paste this and they all look like this in the top screwing surface. They are in ebay, amazon. They are cheap in china if you can wait for 1 month delivery (around $10 to $12 a piece). They are also in US for about $17 to $25. www.ebay.com/itm/12V-DC-8RPM-High-Torque-Gear-Box-Electric-Motor/330740356222?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D27538%26meid%3Dba87ffc0a54f40daad272dbb8b70b33a%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D11353%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D181261006414&rt=nc

[@FrankLopezx]

is there a reason why this setup is missing a speed controller? moves nice for pictures or cinematic footage but not for fast action follow ups t that speed, in addition is that stick on the remote acting as a encoder? i only noticed 2 wires coming out of the motors pwr & grd nice system tho, i use a smaller one for my air and ground robots

[@sethyjean3607]

Frank Lopez Thank you for watching my video. i wish I had a speed controller. I tried arduino using some ideas in KZbin, unfortunately it does not work for me. Beside, the Sony Camcorders I use don't handle speed well, the picture gets blury. I can also put a faster motor if I want to. This is the driver I use, brushed DC motor controller: www.servocity.com/html/18v7_simple_motor_controller__.html#.VW5QE875ndk

[@FrankLopezx]

well what you need is to sever a connection between power ground and add a variable resistor in place (sorta like testing amp on a motor only that your will add a pot and a transistor. i think i email so check your box when ya get a chance i can send you the schematics

[@sethyjean3607]

Can you give me more details about the breakout board? I also have to tell you that this system can also be used as RC controller. By the end of this month I will post examples of the applications of some of my video tools.

[@sethyjean3607]

Ups, I just read your codes idea. Thank you.

[@FrankLopezx]

your system has many applications of which i already noticed when i first looked at it, so i know "not just photography" did you check my email on your box?> well that code i gave you will do the job the rest is up to your skill need help let me know

[@teasouth_SC]

I would love a price on one and then after examation two more if they work for me? What would be the distance on the joy stick use?

[@DanielLooper]

Where did you get the gear for your system? i am looking for 5mm bore gear to take a 200 step 1.8 stepper to give a clean 360 Degre at 1 or even .5 degree of motion. still trying to figure out the gear tooth and size.

[@sethyjean3607]

+Daniel Looper, Thank you for checking out my pan & tilt head. I get my gears from servocity.com, I don't notice any 5mm bore gear. I use DC geared motor, I don't know much about stepper motor. I see a lot of 5mm pinion in Amazon & Ebay, but not large gear.

[@ochoixemay8061]

I think you used servo motor? Because if using DC motor is in the free state when it can not be re-clamping spindle.

[@davidflorey]

Might be using a worm gear internally - which helps with very low RPM and also locking gears into position - preventing slip...

[@TonyGeestudio]

Great crane where did you get the frame and is it metal or aluminum. By the way i like your music track . Great video -God Bless.

[@nagudevi496]

Extent work where is available motors ,wells tilt and pan controller and battery please give me web links

[@vesbim]

well done from Liverpool England x

[@AixOrgue]

hello, What do you use for the electronic part ? I tried for my project, arduino (pwm) but the motors don't start in low speed.

[@Tosnic]

I envy your build with all the metal. I was going to build mine of wood xD

[@adelkis04]

hello sethy jean , what type of bearings do you use ? and the specifications of the gears . can you provide me that info please. thank you

[@sethyjean3607]

Hello Adel: The bearings are flanged ball bearings 3/8" bore www.servocity.com/html/flanged_ball_bearings.html#.VDIRX96AQjE The gears are 32 pitch www.servocity.com/html/32_pitch_aluminum_hub_gears__1.html#.VDIRyN6AQjE and these hubs: www.servocity.com/html/0_770__clamping_hubs.html#.VDISQd6AQjE I hope I answered your questions.

[@NavinRamrattan]

could u give me a list of link too all the parts, im interested in the motor specs and the gear and pinion sizes and so on. thank you

[@sethyjean3607]

I find the motors thru ebay, china about $ 12.00 each or servocity.com (USA), $25-$35 each. The motors are 37mm 12 volts 1/4 inch bore or shaft. Gears and pinions from servocity.com. They are 32 pitch. I'll be more than happy to answer more questions.

[@nightvisionbuilders6337]

sethy Jean Hi Sethy. Great build well done. Do you have more on all the main parts? Motor speeds and also how you made the joystick controls? Thanks :-D

Please share the diy of head

[@MrRUKidddingMe]

Great job on design and music. Does the motor create vibration/noise for on-camera recording? What motors did you use? Thanks...

[@morpheuz2006]

Good work....very smooth.... any tutorial to DIY? spect for motors

[@rickpom1]

Brilliant! Great tune too. Knew you had to be musician from the stand. :o)

[@sethyjean3607]

Rick Pomeroy Thank you, Thank you...

[@johnfriedel1762]

Why don't you speak and discuss how you made it instead of playing music? I have noticed on many videos of the Pan/ Tilt head, music is played because the motors are not quiet and it would not be good for recording dialog.

[@Buycheaplinks]

Great job, I am wondering if you would post the schematics, very well made! great music too..

[@exclusive-technology3798]

Now... that was a system....

[@HoundDogMech]

Obviously U don't fly R/C or full scale ///Pull back to go up Push forward to go down. Ia there a way to get the speed Variable and about 180 degrees in pitch and yaw at at least 45 degrees per second. I Video fast model Planes.
