Trådlös kamerastyrning

As an amateur it can be difficult filming from several angles at the same time as this requires several cameras. It´s also hard to film at occasions when it´s not appropriate to manoeuvre the camera manually. Systems for solving these problems already exist, but it´s either more expensive, professional systems or cheaper systems with limited functionality. The purpose of this project is to develop a cost efficient solution to the problem above that offers a better functionality then existing commercial systems. The biggest difference from existing products is the wireless video feedback from the camera to the remote unit. The result of the project is a system consisting of two units, a manoeuvre unit with a cradle for the video camera and a remote unit from which the operator can control pan and tilt of the video camera. Communication between the two units is wireless. On the remote unit there is a joystick and a display mounted. In addition to this, there is also an IR receiver that is capable of reading the signal from the cameras own remote and sending it to the manoeuvre unit. The manoeuvre unit is equipped with one motor to control the tilt function and one motor to control the pan. There is also a connector for an IR LED to control the video cameras functions. The casing for the manoeuvre unit is made of a plastic material through a process known as SLS, selective laser sintering. The cradle that the video camera is attached to is designed to rotate around the center axises of the camera in order to develop a minimal torque
