Gyro-Stabilized DSLR Platform

I finally had time to put together one axis of my DSLR gyro frame today, and I am quite pleased with the results. The frame is big and heavy as it was originally intended to be a fixed-mount azimuth-altitude star and satellite rig for taking long exposures of planets and orbiting things, but it happened to be a good test bed for my gyro code. It's rock solid thus far:



Hopefully I will find time to build another axis soon so I can really see how solid both my math and my sensor are. I have a huge list of epic features to add to the project, too. I'm hoping I can get it solid enough to film with a 300mm lens and not need post-process stabilization.
