    Hello!

    I am trying to build a 3 axis brushless gimbal.
    I have already a 2 axis AlexMos controller.
    I saw the option for Yaw axis will be available from July.

    What do you recommend?

    2 Alexmos controller boards
    or
    1 Alexmos controller board with expansion for the third axis?

    The motors are 5206 and it's for a Canon 5DmkIII.

    Thanks everybody!

    Hi, stick with two Alexmos boards. The expansion is going to be a while before is stable.

    I didn't say it wont work but like everything else that comes out at first you have to do alot of work to get it right providing there are no bugs. The one in the picture is the 3axis board only plus you need the 2 axis controller, So, the controller is $180 and the board is $80 which it makes $259,00
    Is not all in one.
    So, you might as well wait for the Alexmos expansion 3axis board

    ok i also think that two alexmos is better
    how does you do that with two board and two sensor
    do you connect the power cables from both the board togheter
    and how do you mount the sensor to pan axis?

    Doesn't matter to me... just was curious why you posted it in two threads.

    Looking very promising. Have you recorded any on board video? I really hope running dual motors is successful!
