Great functionality for the price.
For the price of these you really can't go wrong. I received all the parts pictured, as well as some assorted generic servo parts that I assume just come with each servo when they sell the servos alone.The instructions are horrible, but if you can't figure out how to put this together without instructions then you probably shouldn't be messing with this sort of thing anyway.My parts were all metal (cheese grade, but metal). The servos work fine, they are 180 degree servos which I don't think it says anywhere. I had some issues initially with jitter etc but resolved that by finding a better power supply and making sure my grounds were good.

Can’t assemble with what comes with it. Useless pile of random parts.
The media could not be loaded. One liner: Can’t assemble with supplied screws. Look at the images in the product gallery. No screws installed. I just noticed.More things: cannot drive with 3.3v PWM. Ok, I can get around that. Motors are 360 degree. I thought 180 degree. That’s ok, I can get around that. I cannot get around the inability to assemble!!! Lack of instructions should have tipped me off but there is no way to make this work with what they supply.I’d rather pitch each component up in the air and slam it with a baseball bat! At least it would be fun. I read the reviews after with the same complaints. I normally don’t read reviews as I expect basic functionality but this is a complete joke.What’s worse is that the stupid supplier makes no attempt to correct it with the reviews saying the same stuff. Save your money and buy something better the first time. Ugh!!!!!

Or just use a dremel tool to shorten the provided screws like I did
Pros: Inexpensive, solid build quality.Cons: Missing several screws needed to build. The round horns in the photo appear to be metal but the kit came with plastic. You can attach them with the long screws that come in the servo pack but you'll need to cut off the tips of the screws because they are too long. There was no screw provided to accommodate the bearing side of the tilt bracket.Overall I only took away one star because the price is right. If you don't mind the inconvenience you can find screws locally that will work to complete the assembly. Or just use a dremel tool to shorten the provided screws like I did. There were no assembly instructions but I didn't find them necessary.

Good quality, but potentially high current draw
These assemble fine and work great. They feel very sturdy.However, the current draw on these seems to be insane. I have not gotten around to measuring yet, but I was definitely having power problems running on an Arduino with it constantly resetting.At first, I tried running off USB power. Was not a huge surprise that did not work, and that wasn't a huge deal. I then wired them into a wallwart I had. Whenever they ran, the indicator light on the wart would dim the Arduino would reset. I tried a few warts I had (they were all the same brand/model), the same problem. Eventually, I used my benchtop power supply and was able to get it working right.It's possible that the problem is with the wallwarts and they aren't capable of delivering the current they claim. I have not had a problem with them in the past, but I got them cheap when outfitting my lab (I am a teacher), and I've had them work with other servos.The three stars are basically because I feel that I should be able to run a project off standard power supplies without too much of a hassle.I'm going to investigate more, but have been busy with the start of the school year. If it turns out the warts are the issue, I missed something, or I am derping something else up, I am going to update my review.

Pretty Good
The media could not be loaded. Mine was different from the picture. The coupling attached to the servos is plastic instead of metal. I'll probably need glue. No instructions, but it was fun to figure-out. I bought it for the gimbal. The legit servos make this a very good deal. Runs on Arduino Uno with some 470 microfarad capacitors placed in parallel with the servos.

Well made but wrong hardware and no instructions
The brackets are well made, so a high score for that if it wasn't for the fact that they sent the wrong hardware. The machine screws for the servo circular horns are too long, they will not work! Plus there is so much additional hardware supplied it's hard to figure what to use. I really think they sent the wrong hardware package with the kit. I had to use my own hardware to assemble the kit. The first picture shows how the screws are too long, the other two show all the hardware supplied. Looks like I have a lot of surplus screws for new projects!

Are you serious?
First off- no instructions - but thats not that big of an issue as its rather simple to figure out how it is suppose to go together, but what the hell is up with all the screws? Its like an assortment of random hardware was thrown into the box - none of the screws make any sense. They are too long and will end up binding the entire thing and it will not fit together correctly. Luckily I have the proper hardware on hand, but honestly, who put this together?

pan and Tilt
Good product. Works great. Easy to put together. Well built. I used this for mounting a raspberry pi camera module on my robot. Going to buy another shortly.
