Camera gymbal test

Been working on a customized camera gymbal and mount over the last few days, its designed to accomodate a Canon 5D Mk2 and has gyro stabilisation. It also includes a video transmitter and camera remote control unit. See some pics and video below, gyro stabilisation here we come! The basic principle is working, just needs a bit more refining for small movements and centre points.

Website finished and Build begins!

Our website is complete... checkout www.horizonap.com, now all we need are some photos!. This will be soon as we have began to build the 600, when complete it will have a rotor span of 1.24 meters, and with a powerful Xera motor will be capable of lifting a Canon 5D Mkii and the DJI autopilot system, for more information see Our Equipment.

A little about us...

Horizon AP was born when myself and a friend realised that the technology was now available to allow us to provide a much higher quality and more bespoke service. We have an extensive background in the world of RC Helicopters, and more recently fully autonomous small unmanned aerial vehicle (SUAV) systems. Today, with this knowledge, and a passion for technology and photography, we are commited to producing a fascinating aerial perspective, at a fantastic price. We can show off your home or business, survey your archaelogical site or film your event to name just some applications. We can provide a perspective and bespoke quality that rivals anything you have ever seen before.

What you will see here is some of our newer ideas, designs and the latest photos and video from our tests as we work towards the best system possible...
