An open-source pan-tilt head designed for DIY motion-control projects such as timelapse, stop motion, repeatable camera moves, and automated positioning.

The structure combines CNC-machined aluminum plates with 3D-printed components to achieve high stiffness, accuracy, and easy customization. The design is modular and hardware-agnostic, allowing builders to adapt motors, bearings, and control electronics to their own setup.

STL files are provided for printed parts, with STEP / machining files for CNC components. Remixes and modifications are encouraged.
