Using Ardupilot Mega v2, it is possible to program a head lock using a software on the PC and using the mavlink protocol. So at this point, I am not too worried about programming a head lock.
The problem I was studying was rather : how to garanty that the servo is fast and robust enough to compensate a 60hz rotation during a 4 hours flight, while the payload is 2kg heavy.
The goal was to garanty that the servo wasn't the component undergoing the weight of the payload.
I came up with the idea of using a lazy susan that would be the connection between the balloon and and the payload (this is the piece thanks to which I have a free Z rotation non motorised)
Then, I need to have a rotation that can be controlled by the APMv2 board.
I found very interesting products on servocity. They have plenty of solutions for this kind of heavy duty activity. The schema below shows the whole mechanism.
Below is the a list of servos I am considering.
$60
$160
$60
All this equipments come from servocity. I still have to finalize my choice between the one that best fits my needs.
I will be assembling it using the following lazy susan :
It comes also from servocity (but can be found about anywhere on the web. At the time of writing, it's about $7
