    I've got a 3-axis Cinestar gimbal with Radians - servo driven. Will the toad in the hole quick release work with this? Will I need any additional parts/adapters?

    I just got the 2 that I had ordered and while probably designed for the Movi, the hole pattern lines up for any Freefly vibration plate (toad side) and I would guess that you could put the hole side on your Cinestar gimbal without any issues (possibly need to change out longer bolts???). That said, I have not taken my apart to try it - just going by the look of things. I was thinking about the idea of being able to switch between my M5 and a 2 axis gimbal for when I fly alone for still photos if it proves difficult to put the M5 into Magestic mode with little or no pan window and just keep it pointing forward.

    Yeah, Gary emailed me that the hole pattern was standard. I think we'll just need to try it and report back. My TITH order should be arriving shortly.

    So, I guess the answer Dan, as so often we say in the software business, is "it should work." :rolleyes:

    No! I swear I only changed one thing!

    Then why is it blue?

    Well I spray-painted it pink and it stopped working, so I thought blue would look better.. and then I only changed that one thing.

    Gonna have to work on your definition of change.
