DIY moving main camera

Ok I have a wizard drone and I have been wondering about using a mini servo to move my fpv camera.i will have that servo mapped to the potentiometer aux switch on my flysky tx
Why well to change the angle of the camera during flight.should I feel the need to go bat crazy fast I will point the camera up and of course down for a smooth landing..not like the dump it and hope landings I see on YouTube
I have a few ideas but I am curious to read what you guys have been up to
Cheers guys

While I like your idea, normally people set an angle that suits their speed so that they can see the horizon. With a fixed angle and the horizon you have a good reference point. So a movable camera angle might make fpv flying interesting  ::).
Give it a go though you never know you might get on well with it. I am sure I have seen a few youtube vids with a servo attached to a cam. There might be some info on the forum if you have a search.
I try :-)

With your other answer to my noob needing a camera post. I can now mount the servo above the camera on the top of the drone without losing the ability to quickly stick a camera on the if I want to share my flying adventures.not to mention that I will be a bit lighter..then off set with adding a GPS unit I don't have the figures but I am happy to say I believe it's a draw at worse 😁
