    Hi Tiger

    I remembered the following when you first posted but was only today I was able to find it again.
    ... also when I first found it back in April  I didn't think anyone here would be interested so I didn't post. I had suggested such tech for our birds prior.

    Oh well like they say "know your audience"

    Anyhow I thought you would like to have a look at this guys video camera stabilization
    ... However not as cost effective has the HackADay version, it's JUST so expensive!
    ... Thus making the HackADay version indeed GOOD news

    Hey wOOd...  Small world!  I designed and injection mold some of the drive components for that gimbal.  :)

    Haha, so YOUR the reason WHY the system is so expensive [​IMG] hehe, kidding of course

    Certainly the MōVI is a nice system but after looking at Foxtech's site that is something I could be interested in.
    ...Obviously it just appeals to my level and what I would be willing to spend.

    Although they say the gimbals are sold out and I would think, probably for good reason?
    ... But, I would be more interested in only buying the 'controller' ??
    ... Then I could add my own customizations by sourcing and building the rest myself ...

    wOOd - I think you could build one pretty easy with the KK2 board ($29) that we all fly with.  I think that's where I'd start.
