Pan tilt mechanism that mimics hand movements

Hi
I am trying to build a Pan tilt mechanism that mimics hand movements…I used an MPU6050 sensor…but it did not meet my expectations at all!
Any better idea?

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

@magued Can you describe a bit more what you’re looking for? For example in the video, the servos jitter, but some of that can be solved using filtering (code).

Thanks for replying
I will appreciate help in overcoming the servos jitter…though this is not the main problem I am facing
I could obtain a tilt movement when moving my fingers

However I couldn’t obtain a pan movement when moving hand horizontally

this movement was obtained when rolling my hand

or I won’t be able to obtain it since it is not a ROTATION?

If you want motion which is horizontal to the earth’s axis, you need a magnetic compass. A gyro would work, but there’s often drift since it only measures angular acceleration, which needs to be integrated over time to get angular velocity, then acceleration.
