Comments
At the very least if you base your design off some-one else's work its a good idea to give them some attribution on your store. But I do agree that most gimbals out there are very similar so it is hard to be 100% unique.
Sure they look similar as originally we got inspired by Jakubs old mount. We redesigned it fully from scratch and made it more balanced and that way better.
There is nothing wrong on improving things, in generally all DIY communities are based on improving things. And even this mount will improve more, there are already few ideas on how to improve it more.
Was it?

Or Tesla?

I don't think anyone intentionally ripped anyone off!
Indeed it does look like copy of gimbal created by polish frames seller & designer.
It looks like a copy of this one

It's not easy to decide which one is better, moreover this one also allows to mount camera with housing.
Looks cool, are you going to be releasing the design files for this camera mounts so we can modify to fit other cameras as not all of us have a go pro :(
Kirill, yes that other type will be released too. We just had great tests with that one and I hope that we can release that in week or so..
Finally!
Jani, as I understood, such kind of mount won't be released?
