Imagine you are flying a canon 550d/5d, nikon d5100 or similar cams. What annoys you the most about the designs already available?

Some examples:
- Price
- Slack in servos
- Vibration / lack of vibration-isolation
- Jitter
- Not enough space to pack vtx batteries, vtx and so on
- Not big enough camera plate
- Something else?

Also, what do you like about the current designs (if possible, post a link)

A friend and I are planning to give the gimbal-market a shot with some new ideas, but would be nice with some user input before we finalize the design.

Most inconvenient thing I found is to have to rebalance the camera every time I want to mount it again. Now I have another plate bolted in place with the camera screw position drilled, installed such that it marks the correct balance point for me.

Can you clarify a bit ? Maybe with some pictures?

Almost ready, but not yet for production.
Weight is about 2kg and can handle Alexa, Epic & F3
Center ring is 40cm. Cam plate is 20cm/25cm
Still waiting for the Picloc's

It has bin almost a year now. Let's hope soon.

hi!

From the pictures it looks like you should only activate roll-compensation if you dont use nick-compensation and vice versa.
I mean for example if the cam is looking down and you roll. the image will "yaw" - or am interpreting the pictures wrong?

cheers

The plate where the camera mounts has got slots so that you can slide the camera back and forth to find its balance point. Once I found the balance point, I used the plate I made to make that location permanent by having the plate fixed so that the camera screw can only be installed at that one point. Hope thats helpful to you
