Complete Cinema Camera Control System

Project

• Dual Bluetooth Microcontrollers.
• Wireless remote acts as the central device, while the Gimbal acts as the Peripheral Device.
• Functions such as Zoom and Focus are controlled using Servo Motors on the Gimbal

System Overview

Main Components: Wireless Remote, Wireless Gimbal.

Remote Settings: Copy Movement, Calibration, Freeze, Off.

• 3-Axis Gimbal is comprised of 3 Brushless Directo Current Motors, each with their own dedicated driver circuit.
• An Arduino BLE Microcontroller is used for the handheld remote, while the Gimbal utilizes a ESP32 Microcontroller.

How It Works

• A wireless remote controls all 3-Axis Gimbal Functions, Utlizing an Accellerometer/Gyroscope.
• The remote also has functionality to control settings on the camera itself.
• Designed to mimic hand movements 1:1.

Results

• My Project has successfully implmented the 3-Axis Gimbal with Wireless control.
• I was not able to implement any other camera functions, or sliding functionality.
• The frame for the 3-Axis Gimbal can be made with more robust materials
