In this project I added motion control to my camera tripod. I found a NEMA 23 stepper motor and driver that had enough power to rotate the boom. I designed and 3D printed a coupler and mounting bracket as well as an electronics and Lipo battery holder. Then I used my phone connected to a bluetooth module to program start and stop points. The goal of this projects was to add some more visually interesting camera shots to my YouTube videos.
New videos are uploaded on Fridays!
