An aerial system includes a body; a lift mechanism; and a two-axis gimbal assembly. A camera housing of the gimbal assembly extends between a first endwall and a second endwall along a pitch axis. An opening in the first endwall receives a camera communication cable. The camera communication cable is coupled to a camera and a control board. The camera housing includes an inner surface that defines a positioning cavity. A positioning cavity in the camera housing receives the camera. A pitch assembly of the support assembly rotates the camera housing about the pitch axis.
