Hi! I just want to inform you that there is a very good progress in the german forum here:
http://fpv-community.de/showthread.php?19252-Brushless-Gimbal-Controller
and here:
http://fpv-community.de/showthread.php?15899-Brushless-Direct-Drive-Gimbal
concerning the brushless gimbal that was originally kicked off by Alexmos.
Greetings

@Lefebvre:
You are right the video is not yet very promising. But if you look a little around on the links you will see that they smoothed things. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=g56bWTFu...!) . I am pretty confident they will come up with a solution everyone can build.
I dunno, the performance in the video posted is nothing to write home about, IMO.
No, not at all. The BLDC motors have almost zero torque.
BLDC's are interesting technology, but they have a very specific use-case.
Perhaps you can ask in the forum to outline the key facts of their current findings/progress in English. I am sure they will do that.
BTW: They have prototypes available now - going out to community testers: http://fpv-community.de/showthread.php?19252-Brushless-Gimbal-Contr...

This looks extremely usefull for long range antenna trackers. We have problems with r/c servos and large antennas due to weight and wind.
Yes, i am also very excited about their progress! And the best thing is they publish all their code/schematics etc.
(like this http://fpv-community.de/showthread.php?15899-Brushless-Direct-Drive...)
I think this could get some people here started to improve things. I am not involved in the project but i think more brains can do more. Thats why i posted it here.
Community pushes things ahead.

Very cool! Looks like it is very stable!
