Mallofusa 2 DOF Pan and Tilt with Mg995 Servos Sensor Mount for Arduino Robot Set Car Plane DIY

For the price of these you really can't go wrong. I received all the parts pictured, as well as some assorted generic servo parts that I assume just come with each servo when they sell the servos alone.The instructions are horrible, but if you can't figure out how to put this together without instructions then you probably shouldn't be messing with this sort of thing anyway.My parts were all metal (cheese grade, but metal). The servos work fine, they are 180 degree servos which I don't think it says anywhere. I had some issues initially with jitter etc but resolved that by finding a better power supply and making sure my grounds were good.

The media could not be loaded. One liner: Can’t assemble with supplied screws. Look at the images in the product gallery. No screws installed. I just noticed.More things: cannot drive with 3.3v PWM. Ok, I can get around that. Motors are 360 degree. I thought 180 degree. That’s ok, I can get around that. I cannot get around the inability to assemble!!! Lack of instructions should have tipped me off but there is no way to make this work with what they supply.I’d rather pitch each component up in the air and slam it with a baseball bat! At least it would be fun. I read the reviews after with the same complaints. I normally don’t read reviews as I expect basic functionality but this is a complete joke.What’s worse is that the stupid supplier makes no attempt to correct it with the reviews saying the same stuff. Save your money and buy something better the first time. Ugh!!!!!

It is mostly metal except for the servo housings and some of the servo arms. Comes with an assortment of screws most of which are too long for the possible ways of assembling these parts. That being said the plates have many different predrilled hole patterns made for lining up with the aluminum cups. There is not a proper way to assemble this product you have to decide how you want it to work and then figure out where the limitations are.I have included a picture above where I had to cut down the screws for length to assemble the frame to the servo in the same way shown in the ad above. I intend to replace these later with loc-tite after I install it to the vehicle.There are servo mounting plates designed fro RC cars and planes that might help for installing a camera to the side of the servo. These are usually mounted laying on their side with two small 90 degree brackets at the end that mount it to the car.For those of you who had problems with the servo falling out, the hole in the end of the shaft is threaded and the rubber grommet looking thing is meant to act as a shock absorber to save the servo. The thread is the same size and pitch as the screws that came with the kit. Don't use loc-tite here the rubber should tension it enough to keep it in place.

These assemble fine and work great. They feel very sturdy.However, the current draw on these seems to be insane. I have not gotten around to measuring yet, but I was definitely having power problems running on an Arduino with it constantly resetting.At first, I tried running off USB power. Was not a huge surprise that did not work, and that wasn't a huge deal. I then wired them into a wallwart I had. Whenever they ran, the indicator light on the wart would dim the Arduino would reset. I tried a few warts I had (they were all the same brand/model), the same problem. Eventually, I used my benchtop power supply and was able to get it working right.It's possible that the problem is with the wallwarts and they aren't capable of delivering the current they claim. I have not had a problem with them in the past, but I got them cheap when outfitting my lab (I am a teacher), and I've had them work with other servos.The three stars are basically because I feel that I should be able to run a project off standard power supplies without too much of a hassle.I'm going to investigate more, but have been busy with the start of the school year. If it turns out the warts are the issue, I missed something, or I am derping something else up, I am going to update my review.

The media could not be loaded. Mine was different from the picture. The coupling attached to the servos is plastic instead of metal. I'll probably need glue. No instructions, but it was fun to figure-out. I bought it for the gimbal. The legit servos make this a very good deal. Runs on Arduino Uno with some 470 microfarad capacitors placed in parallel with the servos.

The brackets are well made, so a high score for that if it wasn't for the fact that they sent the wrong hardware. The machine screws for the servo circular horns are too long, they will not work! Plus there is so much additional hardware supplied it's hard to figure what to use. I really think they sent the wrong hardware package with the kit. I had to use my own hardware to assemble the kit. The first picture shows how the screws are too long, the other two show all the hardware supplied. Looks like I have a lot of surplus screws for new projects!

Great for heavier (not too heavy) appendages. Very Sturdy. I used it in a range finding application. Bang for the Buck its a great buy. I eventually ended up using CA glue and attaching one of the servo rotors directly to the other servo. I still used the brackets in other ways. So I would say its pretty versatile too.

First off- no instructions - but thats not that big of an issue as its rather simple to figure out how it is suppose to go together, but what the hell is up with all the screws? Its like an assortment of random hardware was thrown into the box - none of the screws make any sense. They are too long and will end up binding the entire thing and it will not fit together correctly. Luckily I have the proper hardware on hand, but honestly, who put this together?
