    Here's my 3 axis and "follow" mode test from yesterday. With 4114 and belt drive there's a loads of torque, so i'll test something bigger camera than GH3 next.

    is the weighing scale of grams.. so that appears to be 350 g
    with two motors on the axis i would have thought the figure would be much higher
    So if with two motors is is so low
    do the brushless gimbals work adequately with just one motor per axis
    just want to know as i have already ordered the items
    and will i eventually have to put two motors per axis

    Ramesh,

    Power isn't the strongest point for BDD mounts but you wont get it any stronger than this ;)

    Very good test Mario...keep the coming. How do you have your dual motors wired to the controllers? How were you able to symc them?

    Yes i'm on the safe side with tuning, can tighten it up quite much. It's funny that with servo drives roll axis were always the most difficult, and with brushless it seems to be the easiest axis to tune so just left it where it was ok. Also got a bunch of new pulleys and belts today, so will be testing which combination is optimal speed/torque wise with cinema cameras.

    Just heard from a company that custom rewound motors for carrying a RED is available in two weeks ! .
    So it seems the torque problem will be solved on the heavy cameras....

    just wondering
    will the current controllers be able to handle the high torque motors
    i find everywhere just one concern
    that the current will smoke the controllers
    hope new generation of controllers come out soon
