There should be invented some kind of system that automatically tilts the fpv camera so it angle straight no matter angle of the quad, using a servo perhaps...
What do you think?

It's been done many times before. Most people found they couldn't fly that way.

it sounds like a good idea, but it makes it really difficult to fly through the camera. Since you don't know the angle, you cant really tell what way you're tilted, only what direction you're moving. So you always find yourself drifting backwards, or in weird directions.

Maybe as a improvement on that idea, is just a couple of set angles on a switch using servo to tilt the cam. But that's extra weight and more things to break.

I have done some research on this, general consensus was that using preset angles worked better than any automation, and skilled pilots found it was no help. Here is a good 2 part article on it. http://www.propwashed.com/automatic-fpv-...-tilt-part

I think as you're learning and getting used to camera angle this idea seems great. Being able to turn your head at all sounds like it would be really helpful when you haven't trained your brain to interpret the alternative situational awareness needed for FPV flying. However there does come a point where you gain enough experience that your brain starts to fill in the details that you cant see. You start to be able to predict how close you are to the ground even though your quad is level and the camera is pointing upward (very important for landing), you start to know what is beside you because you were pointed at it before you did a quarter yaw spin away from it. It's sort of like being in a car, you can't see exactly where your tires are on the road but mentally you're aware if you're close to the lines or not.

Watching some people try to parallel park on the street outside my apartment confirms that this is not a universal skill!

The fact that the street is on a hill makes it even more hilarious sometimes unless my car happens to be the one they are trying to park behind.

LOL!
Reminds me of being a kid...
Me - "Dad is it hard to drive?"
Dad - *muttering under his breath* "All the f'kin idiots on the road, it can't be that hard!"

It would be quite cool to have a micro servo to bring the angle down just for take-off and landing.

I have asked the question before, with the micro brushless motors that are all over the place right now, how come there hasn't been a micro gimbal?

It might be possible to race with a '3rd person view' setup on a 2 axis gimbal, as you can see the orientation of the quad change, but I imagine trying to get the CG right would be a nightmare!

It's definitely a range of skill level lol

Tbh i did this on my very first quad, with a simple servo setup.

I had it set up to:
- level in angle mode
- 3 angles selectable in acro mode (2 tilted for flight, 1 flat for landing)

...in the end, i never flew angle mode at all, and while flying, i couldn't concentrate enough to switch - i had to land first, then switch... so i actually never used it at all.

In a word: torque!

But how much torque would one need to stabilize a 20g SQ-11 micro cam? Or is it due to the fact that there simply isn't enough space in a micro motor for the amount of windings required to make it run so slowly? Oh yeah, don't gimbal motors have more poles too?

I think you answered your own question!
