I uploaded a video recently showing this little pan/tilt mount for the Mobius and RuncamHD cameras. This video shows it mounted on the plane, and some video from it. (both the flight cam and RuncamHD)

After flying it, my final thoughts: The pan is about what I expected. It's different than the self centering setups I've used in the past, but it's not hard to get used to quickly in the air. The gear drive makes it precise and slow enough that finding center (or any other position you want) is easy. It wouldn't be my first choice for a low/fast plane where you're constantly panning around flying around obstacles or something like that, but for cruising around taking in the sights, it's nice. Not having to hold the camera to one side or the other is nice too, set it and leave it there until you're ready to move it again. The tilt is good, smooth, but I would like for it to tilt down a bit more. I often fly around looking down over the nose of the plane, or down off one side. There's enough tilt in this mount, but if there were a bit more I'd make use of it. ;) So in short, if you want a relatively lightweight 360º pan and tilt mount to work with a nice flight cam and the Runcam and/or Mobius HD cameras, with a continuous rotation pan servo and tight, friction free tilt, this is for you! lol .

Here's some affiliate links to the video gear I use from Ready Made R/C:

1.3GHz video transmitters (I use 200, 400, 800, and 1500mW on various planes) https://goo.gl/Mhq6TW

I recommend this receiver to go with them. I use an older Racewood type they used to sell, but these are supposed to be at least as good with the same Comtech tuners in them. Apparently Racewood is no longer in business, so here's what replaced them: https://goo.gl/xC2RLx

I use this 8dbi Patch Antenna, it has been my go-to antenna for a long time now, for years! lol I've been out more then 10 miles using one of these and the 800mW vtx listed above: https://goo.gl/hGmcNS

On the transmitter side, the stock dipoles that come with them work pretty good together with that patch, but if you want slightly better performance and less weight/drag, consider these: https://goo.gl/CPuFGf
