Dear Friends, Some time ago I've introduced on diydrones.com my carbon profiled gimbal and now the product is ready for preorder. I tried to design something different than cutted carbon plate. After design I've made a few prototypes and tests. The gimbal working properly, the net weight is 700g without camera. The max payload 3000g.
About the technology; it is vacuum formed 3K carbon fiber certified for aerospace industry, including the resin. After 2 Months tests the gimbal was modified and now is ready for wider usage.
The other movie can show how my gimbals works.

Hi Johan, I'm testing the 3 axis gimbals with two sizes: Sony RX 100 and DSLR. Both are working well. The smaller one is powered by Evaldis and the bigger by Alex. I developed also EVVGC pcb but the version with over heating transistor is improved and the serial production will be available after few weeks. The structure of composite and mechanical parts passed all of the tests. The webpage is underconstruction but still required some work http://photodrone.applifactory.pl/
jacekheli: Thank you very much for clearing up that question with the roll motor! I really like it.
Here is an event with my carbon gimbal.
Yes, you can balance for each axis.
The torque is enough, I do not see any problem with fast movement of the drone. The focus - infinity, but with follow focus also was correct.
Crashpilot1000,
I've add two ball bearings 8x16 mm for roll axis in the commercial version.
Do you think that the motors have enough torque to accommodate a lens hood during fast forward flight ?
At which focal length did you do the demo video ?
Very nice arms design.
Olivier.
Looks really nice and is probably much lighter than the ugly bolted stuff. I wonder if the roll motor doesn't need a counter bearing.
Looks great! Hope to get some more information soon.
