Mobilized Image Stabilizer
Overview
Shooting a video too shaky in your camera? Try this! This product is a simple add-on that can connect to the hotshoe of a camera, collecting data from the gyroscope simultaneously as the recording undergoing.
Description
This project integrated a microcontroller with a powerful gyroscope+acceleration chip to provide data recording and collection. By using a USB-C connector, it achieves immense connectivity and extensibility to various brands of cameras and video recording devices
Features
The MPU6500 SiP chip is used to collection tilt, acceleration, and other gyroscopical data
A USB-C connector is implemented to achieve universal connectivity
A Micro-SD card slot is included for the extensibility
Extra pins are connected to multiple sockets for extensibility

Problems and Future Improvements
Route thickness can have more precise calculation
Via are presented on the pads - this should never happen
Considering double-side component placement to future reduce size and dimension
Componennts should have been placed further to improve soldering experience and thermal consideration
