talking of joystick, i saw that my knob is delayed. stuck in customs or something.
Mr.kenchan, you will have to aware what kind of joystick control you use, because a regular stick controller for R/C car, the stick will spring back to center, so you won't be able to 'fix' the GoPro at a certain angle.

You will need a stick control for R/C plane, the stick on those control does not center itself.... but those control are more expensive.

Also, for the servo, make sure it's high-torque and low-speed thus the servo can rotate/turn the GoPro without getting overload on its motor.

And how to power-up the servo is tricky too, well, you should be able to connect a AA battery module to the receiver thus power to the servo.
