Yahboom 2-DOF Servo Pan-Tilt Kit for DIY Robot, Electric Platform with Metal Servo, Accessories for Camera or Robot Arms Bracket (2DOF Metal servo Without Control Board)

Absolutely great value amd very well built Pan-Tilt camera platform. All parts included including large digital servvos. Very happy with the quality of the hardware. Includes a large Pan bearing. Very smooth movements. The shipment actually arrives days earlier than expected.

Never expected to find exactly what I was looking for in a nicely made and fairly priced kit on Amazon, but here it is. I needed a mount for a solar tracker between the size of "toy" and "permanent installation" and there isn't much out there aside from full custom made. This PT mount is perfect for my application though! The entire kit is good quality, the aluminum plates are nicely finished and precisely machined, no issues with fit anywhere. Tolerances are quite good. The servos seem to be good quality, no strange noises, wobbles, or searching. My only complaint would be that I had to dig through the manufacturer's youtube page to find the assembly video, but after that assembly took only 10 minutes or so. Would buy again if I need one.

THere was no manual or other written instructions to help put it together, but I was able to follow the video that's the last in the product pictures on the Amazon page. Using that, I was able to put it together, all the necessary parts were there. I'm still trying to get it working with an RPi using GPIO pins (PWM) and a Bottango servo shield. A couple weeks in, the top swivel piece fell off the top servo - it's not sized right - too wide so one side is always going to be loose. Docked one star.

This is a high-quality kit! All the parts are there. The anodized aluminum looks great. The servos are excellent and well fitted. Unfortunately, it didn't come with assembly instructions. I had to figure it out and it took me three attempts to get everything just right. The anodized aluminum plates top and bottoms are identical which caused me to have to disassemble it a couple of times to get all the holes to line up. Still, I'm glad I bought it and now that it is assembled properly, I expect to have a great time with this device over the years. I'm using it to animate a Halloween foam pumpkin which is probably overkill for the application. The trick-or-treaters are going to love it though.

Pretty decent kit for the money. Instructions are online which is a little annoying but not too difficult to follow. So far the servos are holding up well. Not crazy about the green color but I'd buy it again. Update (6/20/2024): The online instructions won't open on their website (Error rendering embedded code Invalid PDF). They have an installation video here on Amazon but it isn't easy to follow-certainly not as well as written instructions with illustrations. I understand the desire for them to save money by not including printed instructions. But if you are going to save money by doing so, you are obligated to provide clear and easy to follow instructions easily found online. I've deducted 2 stars for this waste of time.
