I'm a big fan and supporter of open source multirotors but this is just too impressive to pass. Too bad it is super expensive and out of reach for most hobbyists. Just wanted to share this with the community and see what they have to say about the the frame, gimbal and about DJI in general.

Also nowdays you want to have stteper motors like in CNC,and be able to control them,as I mentioned before new Droidworks Hero gimbals are great example,also it seems AV200 is also upgreaded with them
Great idea but we should came up with some new ideas not just copy something......It is very easy to make Cinestar gimbal
@Cristian Carlsson I second that! We should definitely have a community developed gimbal that we can call our own.. I have access here to a pretty badass laser cutter which cuts metal upto an inch thick and the service is dirt cheap (1 minute machine time = 0.25$).. we could develop one like the photohigher gimbal from aluminum sheet metal .. I'm also comfortable with sheet metal modelling and 3d design for manufacturing on Autodesk Inventor.. i'm sure we can pop out a design in a few weeks and have a prototype ready in a month or two given there is sufficient community interest.. cause if you ask me.. i would never buy a 1k gimbal that I could build myself for $100...
There is new Sony camcoder with better stabilisation than usual,never seen before...this one,Sony CX 730 http://www.videocamerashop.nl/product/173834/sony-hdr-cx730.html
here is example from Mikrkopter forum http://forum.mikrokopter.de/topic-24170-1.html
Wow, impressive kit. What model Sony camera is that? I can't make out the model numbers on the video...
it was a matter of time before someone popped some steppers on a gimbal. I think piezo motors are where its at though. If only a serial interface to drive them from;)
Since we are posting gimbal porn, this one is meant for R/C helicopters but the vibration dampening system is just ooohh..

DJI for 3500$ for 300gr. camera....pfff!..better wait for this http://www.photohigher.co.nz/products/camera-gimbals-and-kits/hero-...
The CineStar gimbal has a very simple design using carbon tubes and pipe clamps. Then you gear down some good digital servos using belts to get nice and smooth movements.
Turns out it is very strong and lightweight, and has been proven to work very, very well.

Same direction I am going in my next DIY build. Keeping it simple without sacrificing performance.
