Best Gyroscope under $50 |
| Question: |
Hello to everyone,
I'm looking for the best gyroscope for under $50. I'm largely interested in liesure experimenting, that is I won't be doing any ground breaking experiments. I simply enjoy playing with gyroscopes and figure it's high time I got myself a decent one.
While I would love to have the precision machined gyroscope featured on this site, I simply can't justify (logically or or experimentally...that is looking at my wallet) spending that much on what will be used as a toy for me. So I'm in search of the highest quality gyro I can get for around $50 US. Gimbals would definately be nice, but if they're not included I could bodge some together I'm sure.
I've found a couple and would like some oppinions, the first few look to be some serious gyros, the third is even a little over what I"m looking to spend. The last is a toy, for sure, but It's got to be better than those metal ones that run about $6.

And I would of course love to be linked to any other gyros you think might suit my needs.
Thanks in advance for any help!

| | | All the ones you picked out are not of great quality. I used to sell the gimballed ones and they were quite poor. The rotor had a habbit of rusting and the bearings were just plain bearings.
The best toy gyroscope is http://www.gyroscope.com/d.asp?product=GYROTOP
and if you can afford these are the best
