DSLR Gimbal Object Tracking Integration
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I’m setting up a motorised gimbal for my DSLR and need it to lock-on and keep a chosen subject centred while I film. The solution can rely on computer-vision, hardware add-ons, or firmware tweaks—what matters is smooth, reliable object tracking that works in real time with a DSLR-mounted gimbal.
Here’s the core of what I’m after:
• Continuous object recognition and tracking that drives the gimbal’s motors so the camera follows the target hands-free.
• Compatibility with a DSLR body sitting on the gimbal I already own.
• A straightforward way for me to pick or switch the target in the field (touchscreen, phone app, external controller—whichever you feel is most practical).
• Clear instructions and any code or schematics needed so I can reproduce the setup.
I’ll test by walking a subject through varied light and movement; if the camera keeps them framed without hunting or lag, we’re good. Looking forward to your approach and any past examples you can share.
