Help to chose servo motor

Hi all,

I’m new here so hello to all and sorry if I ask something that it was already asked … I have try to search but didn’t find answer for my question.

I need one servo motor, I will prefer digital but it is not excluding to get analog. Request for servo motors is following:

  • torque 7-10kg
  • quiet
  • small deadzone
  • precise
  • 180° angel travel

I need them for control focus and zoom on cameras. For now I have use few types of analog servo motors and I think that they can be better. I have try some very cheap Modelcraft RS-2 and few models of Hitec … All digital that I have try didn’t have option to go 180° which is necessary to control full range of zoom or focus. Also, I have test GWS 1T and 3T servo motors, but they are not precise for my needs …they have big steps and can’t use it for my needs.

Also, I didn’t test models that have price more then 70€ so may be solution is that price range?

So please, if it is not problem, can someone suggest me good servo motor whit asked options?

I have buy few servo motors and didn’t finde good solution for my needs and now I would like to stop wasting my money on blind shoots buying servo motors by .pdf specifications.

Thank you for your help in advance, best regards from Croatia.

If you need 10Kg-cm or greater, you are likely in the realm of 1/4 scale servos. These include:
Hitec HS-755HB, Hitec HS-755MG, HS-805BB, HS-985MG etc.
If you need a normal (standard) sized servo with good torque and high accuracy, consider the HSR-5980SG. There is also the option of a specialty servo like a Dynamixel, though these are not controlled like hobby servo motors.
