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.

There is nothing wrong if you improve YOUR design.

Using someone else's design (even after "improving it") for making money it's
illegal in civilized world. Why you don't try to do the same in Europe or USA ;)

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.

Nobody would proof that this is copied or not. But bad image remains Jani. I will remember that.

Come on, hard to claim infringement on a bloody gimbal...it pans and tilts.
I don't think anyone intentionally ripped anyone off!

Indeed it does look like copy of gimbal created by polish frames seller & designer.
