AR.Drone ~ Custom Pan & Tilt Device for my GoPro Hero 2

Custom Pan & Tilt Device for my GoPro Hero Camera

I have spent just over 24-hours fashioning a device to hold my GoPro Hero Naked Camera and allow me to use it with a Parrot AR.Drone quadricopter. First, I want it beneath the drone. This design facilitates that. My next article will have a bit more on that. The real question is how will it fly with the camera below? On the design: I made it from items in my junk box. The legs are a piece of a water cage. The top [for panning] is from a bell and the rod for tilting id a piece of fender stay. Heat shrink tubing, with a short piece of carbon fiber for a solid back, and a robber pad make up the device. Total weight, without camera, 40 grams.
