3 Axis Camera Pan Tilt Head - Digital Bird

Also check out the new DB3 4 axis PTZ head with OBS & vMix support here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/396866?from=search#profileId-307124

This is the Digital Bird three axis balanced pan tilt head part of the Digital bird motion control system. The head can be used on its own or as part of the wider Digital Bird Motion control system. In order to use this head you will also need to build one of the two WIFI controllers found here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/396876#profileId-310638

Features:

• 360 deg. of continues rotation in the pan axis and 130 deg in the Tilt axis

• Capable of lifting a Tilt payload up to 3.5KG

• Automated mount/dismount via two buttons on the control panel

• Sony NP style batteries with 7.5v external power port

• 3rd axis support for Focus motor through RJ45 port

• Full feature interface though Digital Bird compact WIFI remote or PTZ remote

• OLED battery monitor and PTZ slave ID

• Battery lock for Inverted mounting safety

• Camera shutter control

Operating modes:

• A-B straight run

• A-B with acceleration controls (ramp/Ease)

• A-B-A Bounce mode

• Time-lapse mode with built in intervalometer and camera shutter control.

• Six key sequencer for more complex moves.

• Stop motion functions for animators.

• PTZplus real-time camera functions.

Credits: This project makes particular use of two main open source arduino libraries for which I am very grateful

- gin66/FastAccelStepper A great resource for controlling multiple stepper motors with acceleration control on all steppers - Seithan/EasyNextion Library An easy to use method of setting up and actioning commands from the Nextion displays. Updates:

I have added an additional focus motor mount which allows the focus motor to be mounted on the right hand side of the camera where the motor is less obstructed. The mount parts are 18 & 19 glued together and must be printed as shown to avoid the tube mount simply splitting along the layer lines when tightened.

The mount fits under the camera L bracket and is held in place by the same 30mm long low-profile bolt used to secure the camera swiss clamp. Note however a longer RJ45 cable is required for this location. Part 005_100 the focus mount for the other side has also been updated.

Infill:

Percent fill is the second part of part name so 001_60 = part 1 60%fill

Filament: Matt PLA Black & a colour

Notes:

Infill for each part is listed as part of the part name for example 001-60 required 60% fill. Ensure you understand where supports are required on each part.

Parts are supplied in the correct orientation for printing.
