Jordan Studdard needed a 360 camera mount for his Phantom 3. Given one wasn’t readily available, he built it.
He demonstrates his solution in the following video which is humorous in tone and rather ingenious in execution. It is refreshing to see that the DIY movement that gave birth to 3DR is still alive.

I’d really like to see some kind of stabilised 360, or a 360 gimbal on a bigger drone.
Not sure if it’s physically possible, without ruining the picture. Normal 3 axis gimbals ‘surround’ the camera and as such would ruin 360.
Perhaps some kind of Theta camera on a single axis gimbal + software stabilisation would work?
Has anyone tried this?
