Raspberry Pi camera pan-tilt

For a robotics project I needed a small footprint pan-tilt for the Raspberry Pi camera, with as much robustness as possible and with minimum backslack. The design is based in DMS-MG90 micro servos.

Construction is very easy. Just glue the legs to the pan servo support with cyanocrilate. Cut and trim a servo arm and fit it in the top part of the tilt support. Insert the pan servo in place and then screw the servo arm to the pan servo. Screw the tilt servo in the tilt support with two small sheet metal threads. Cut and trim a servo arm and glue it to the corresponding arm of the camera support (so that it aligns with the tilt servo). Insert a 9 mm diameter small bearing into the corresponding hole in the tilt support. Adjust the camera support on the tilt support and then screw the servo arm to the tilt servo, and fit a 4mm thread into the bearing. Finally screw the camera in place and glue all the cables with thermo adhesive.
