A project log for Timelapse Camera Gimbal and Pi Rig

Right so the design brief that I am going to build a rig to sit in place and take photographs which will eventually be converted into video.

Right so as I am still learning this whole idea of blogging my design and build process. I have spent a fair bit of time playing with the design of the rig, I think I am heading toward a more industrial kind of look ( yup its about how the rig looks as well as its practical application in my mind).

As you can see there have been many variation in the design and even the one above has some idea's I have kept and others that really haven't made much headway. but my current thinking here is that the Pi will mount in the big flat space ( I have 1 Rasp b, which is why there are 2 mounting screw wholes in the main flat panel). I will put mounting holes that will also work with the B+ as well. the main flat panel will be laser cut and then heated and bent.

Below are the first 2 iterations (obviously not Venom who was sculpted in Zbrush, incidentally all the printing was done using an UP mini printer),

This really I think will end up being the final design
