I have mounted the camera in the head, and have the head moving! I don't have the servo secure yet so that is why it is wobbly. I posted a vid below on a preview of how it works. I just controlled it with my radio but in flight the Raspberry Pi (RPFS) will use it to "Scan" around.

Cut a hole for they eye

Pi camera mounted with hot glue

lens pokes through

Servo, needs hard wood mounts, just held on with glue for now.

A preview. Note the plastic eye cover, made from a Christmas Ornament.

Watch the Vid of the head.

Joey, do you plan to make the rotating head more slowly or this is the final movement? It's about the vibration at the en of the rotation path.

No the head will move slowly and have much more fluid motion. I made it move fast because it looked like bobble head Servo is just hot glue on, so too much ability to move. I am making the mount.

The head will move automatically.
