Maybe RED should buy this 2-axis gimbal system...

[Sanjin Jukic]

Maybe the RED ELEMENT division should have a look and buy one of these 2-axis gimbal stabilisation system

that right now both are in early stage of development and could get a further accommodation to Epic/Scarlet...!!!???

Affordable gimbal stabilisation systems are the future...

System 1:

or

System 2:

the zenmuse is available now, not in early development. and the freefly MOVI was pretty much the hit of NAB as far as i could tell in terms of a revolutionary product - i doubt they're looking to sell the enterprise with that kind of reaction.

i hadn't seen the zenmuse being hand-held like that - easily as stable as the MOVI gimbal (and about 1/3 of the price), but of course bound to either a panny GH2/3 or sony NEX-6/7, which is unfortunate.

this is one of those strange back-end meetings of technology; aerial platform tech finding a very rapid adoption in the cine world. i'm about to upgrade my company's aerial rig to a freefly cinestar-8 to fly the 5DII (and potentially the scarlet, but i don't think i have the stomach for it.)

although at $4000, the new blackmagic camera might make for a suitable aerial 4K cam...

BMC will be a fantastic Aerial cam. I think thats going to be a big hi in Aerial. So self contained, relatively light, great performance, and if it takes a dive, better to lose a $3999 camera than a $28,000 epic....

This is all open source code stuff. Building a nice mini head with good ball bearings etc is not that hard especially if you do not have to care so much about the weight as you do for a kopter.
We have a droid hexa XL for sale, making it into one of those is as easy as removing the propellers..

there is no intellectual property there boys...just a bunch of parts off the shelf put together, so nothing to buy!

FANTASTIC !!!!!!!

curious at what off-the-shelf components one can use to make one of these. as far as i can tell, both gimbals feature pretty heavily engineered custom motors that are silent, lightning-quick to respond (in concert with the accelerometers which are also, if i'm not mistaken, proprietary,) and completely fluid to the point of undetectable stabilisation.

the MOVI gimbal seemed mind-bogglingly unbelievable to me. COMPLETELY silent (eerily so) and impossible to trip up, stability-wise.

i've played around with a few other drone-based gimbals and they're cool, they do a pretty good job, but nothing close to what these newer ones do. if you guys know of low-cost gimbals similar in performance to the MOVI or the zenmuse, i'd love to know about them, as i'm going with the 2-axis cinestar gimbal to start with, and it's nowhere near these two in performance.
