2.1.3. Actively Stabilized Camera Mount (Gimbal)
The following figure describes the parts (or sub-assemblies) of the gimbal.
2.2. THE INTEL® COCKPIT CONTROLLER (CTR)
The CTR is the main control hub for the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV and the attached
payloads/ cameras. It is designed to be carried and operated by one person and
displays all relevant flight information.
The communication between the CTR and the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV is ensured by two
independent 2.4 GHz digital data links. The preview video is transmitted digitally on 5.8
GHz. The CTR uses the same battery type as the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV. The battery is in
Figure 2.6: Units of the Gimbal
The actively stabilized camera mount
consists of:
(1) Circuitry for controlling the camera
(2) Payload (e. g. Sony Alpha 7R)
(3) Pitch servo
(4) Carbon fiber structure
(5) Knurled securing nut for the actively
stabilized camera mount
(6) Payload adapter (see below for
details). The payload adapter is the
connection between the camera
mount and the central unit of the
UAV. It is movable when mounted on
the rod of the camera mount and
connected by a cable.
The payload adapter (backside)
(1) Connector plug, should be connected
to the equivalent at the front side of
the UAV (see no. (2) in “Central Unit
Front View without Gimbal (Camera
Mount)” on page 21).
(2) Adapter slot for the ball link
connector of the roll servo
(3) Releasing clip
(4) Hole for the camera mount’s carbon
rod
