Gimbal Pan Stabiliser Kit with Arduino Uno + MPU6050
Gimbal Pan Stabiliser Kit with Arduino Uno + MPU6050 — Learn Motion Control by Building a Self‑Correcting Camera Platform
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Shaky hands ruin the best video moments. With this kit you’ll build a single‑axis camera stabiliser that reacts to motion in real time. The MPU6050 detects angular rotation, an Arduino Uno processes the data, and an SG90 servo instantly counter‑rotates the platform — keeping a camera level even when your hand tilts.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a pan‑axis gimbal that reads its own orientation via the MPU6050’s gyroscope and drives the servo to keep a camera mount facing the same direction. Hold the platform and tilt it left or right — the mount stays put. It’s a fully functional motion‑control system you can mount on a handheld rig, a robot, or a moving model.
What You'll Learn
- How gyroscopes and accelerometers work together inside the MPU6050 IMU
- Writing Arduino code to poll sensor data and map it to servo angles in real time
- The fundamentals of closed‑loop feedback control for motion correction
- Calibrating a physical stabilisation system and tuning its response to real‑world movement

Who This Kit Is For
Young innovators aged 10 and above who want to see physics come alive through a working stabiliser. CBSE Class 11‑12 students can use it for sensor‑based physics projects, while ATL Tinkering Labs will find it ideal for introducing motion control basics. B.Tech ECE/EEE students and Smart India Hackathon participants will appreciate the real‑time feedback loop as a hands‑on controls experiment.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to chat with the AI companion — it knows every wire and line of code in this kit. You can also send a WhatsApp message to our support team and get a human response within hours.
Can I use this stabiliser with a GoPro or phone?
The SG90 servo can easily handle lightweight cameras like a GoPro, smartphone, or small action camera up to about 100g. You’ll need to design a simple mount (not included) to attach your device, and our AI companion can suggest 3D‑printed or cardboard options.
Do I need to solder anything?
No soldering is required. All connections are made on the included 400‑point breadboard using the jumper wires. The entire kit is plug‑and‑play.
What if the MPU6050 gives erratic readings?
Erratic data usually points to loose wiring or vibration. The AI companion will walk you through double‑checking your connections, using the 100nF capacitors for noise filtering, and calibrating the gyroscope offset in the Arduino code until the readings are smooth.
MPU6050 detects rotation. Servo compensates to keep a camera platform stable despite body rotation.
