How do you find those servo blocks? Are the bearings smooth in them?

Grips, the servo block is from Servo City, the rotating boom is from Multiwiicopter.  Bearings are super smooth, for best results good quality servos are a must.

Just looked at the boom from Multiwicopter...They must be joking!  $108 for that?  There isn't $10 worth of milled parts in it!  Even with the Servo the lot is under $30 to make.  That said, I do like the fact that you can apply it just to the roll axis if you want.  Think I'll make me one of those.

Also, generally the Multiwii stuff is expensive (in fact pretentious in my view) for what it actually is. The APM can be just as stable in flight as the MWii once you get the hang of PID tuning for your specific frame dynamics.

I notice the DS821 in the picture and I commend you on that choice:)

Just as a matter of interest I have used these on occasions when I want pitch/roll levelling of the Gimbal without using the FC to control it.

Nice,

Do you have any video footage?

Thats really neat, I might make my own since the Multiwiicopter product is a bit much.
