I would like to build a hand held 'platform' that I could mount a video cam on and have the computer hold it flat and level and pointing where I aim it while I am chasing critters; lots of running. I have tried the mechanical devices for this and they just don't cut it. The objective of course is to produce a bounce free video image while ones arm is not steady.
It strikes me that the same logic used in the tri or quad copters with the Arduino an IMU and three stepper motors might be applicable. Am I on the right track?
Thanks for any input.
