Description
This is the structure for a panorama robot using a GoPro Hero camera.
Uses two R/C servo motors. The tilt servo (the top one) can be a regular cheap servo. For the bottom pan servo you need one that can rotate 360 degrees (for regular servos the range is limited to about 180 degrees). These are a little difficult to get by, I used this one:

Great project.
It is possible to modify a regular servo to rotate 360 degrees.
i did it many years ago.
My memory is not that great but I beleive all it required was cutting a lug off one of the gears and removing a rheostat.
But that will give you a continuous rotation servo, you loose the absolute positioning ability.
