DIY Motion Sensing Rotating Camera Base

In this video I build a DIY motion and sound sensing camera base. This thing is great as it lets you only have your camera rotate when there is someone in front of it.

Thinking about quickly finding the blank time to delete on the video, a third servo could rotate a colour blind to cover the lens when both sensors are off. You just have to look for and remove frames that are all one colour. I don’t know if some video editing software might be able to do this automatically. I know it is a bit of a crude method but just following the KISS design approach 🤪😁🤓. If you use the dash cam from your previous video you could drop the 5v input when both sensors are off and it would stop recording when no one about. Nice video thanks.

I saw a video yesterday about modifying a GoPro Karma controller to extend the range of the Drone, but there was no info on where to get the parts. If you have time it would be so cool to see if it’s something you’d be interested in doing/ getting more info on. Keep up the creativity!!! 🤙🏼

Hey Kyle I already have a gopro hero session and I was wondering which one should I get if i needed another one (I also don't want to have to take a gimbal around with me )

That's exactly what I was looking for. If you put the motion sensor on top of a cylinder rod would it be able to track 360 i guess and have the rod twist and point the camera that way.. I was thinking I want to learn all this stuff. My dad, his da and my moms brother were engineers and I wish I had of learned from them as a kid. Learn to make a radio out of a piece of stale bread..

Hey kyle! can you tell us how and where to find copyright free music for our edits?

Its not that hard to implement start/stop timelapse with Arduino, the problem is that it requires Wifi on the GoPro and you know it drains the battery quickly.
