About this 3D model

A pitch and roll gimbal, born from the idea of the "Super Simple Gimbal" by crezzee over on [rcgroups](http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1793759) However as you can see, it is a different configuration with the "muscles" (2x9g servo's) behind the camera allowing for a super low profile design. Ideal for attaching to my [Spyda 500 Quadcopter](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:160607) design. In this way the camera can be tilted 90 deg to look directly down as you can see in the images. The white components are printed from flexible filament. I use FilaFlex elastic filament from [Recreus](http://recreus.com/). This adds the benefit of isolating the camera from the frame vibrations and reduce the "Jello" effect.
