Pre-sidenote:
For the ones of you who have no idea what this; its a camera on a stick and two hinges which make it very stable when in-flight, so if you want to test it, you'll have to save it as a subassembly and put it on your plane/drone.
I've noticed you said that you'd like to have a gimballed camera on the Orca while filming, so I dared to make one. It¨'s pretty stable and manages to neutralize all axis(es?) except Yaw, of course.
Sidenotes:
You can make the root "cone" part shorter if you need.
You can also try to decrease the hinge range from 90 to something else, maybe if you need to rotate the camera up and down

@DerekSP yup... hilarious to find yourself in some strange aerobatic maneuver without noticing.... and then dirt.... XD
@Freerider2142 np! Yeah, its a bit hard to control because you dont really se where youre going unless you have the navball on
Thanks for that, that made my day!!!
I had a few crashes getting used to it because of the camera position and how the Orca fly..
but eventually I made another one that fit the Orca flight a little better.
and again Cheers for this!
@DerekSP Awesome will test it later ;)
cheers!
@TimeTraveler sure, feel free to use it anywhere you want! It's just eight parts
EDIT: seven without the cockpit!
@DerekSP ok, thank you, I will definitely use it with your permission in the future
@TimeTraveler you put it on your plane (on the underside, preferably) and if you switch to Camera 1 you will have a stabilized view with little to no pitch and roll visible. Works great with drones, but will glitch out if you do a barrel roll or something crazy like that
@DerekSP np, so how exactly does it work?
@TimeTraveler thanks!
Pretty cool
