footage will be done this weekend. This thing works! pretty good out of the box! the settings are not optimal for the pocket... I have to tune and balance it first + find a grip... Anything else than 14mm pancake + pocket did not go well, but a great start!

@eyeiaye you can connect either a special joystick (around 60$) or a full RC remote. It has multiple modes (fixed, follow and so on) and the board is licenced AlexMos Board ( http://www.basecamelectronics.com/ ). Most used (and copied) board for brushless Gimbals as far as I know. + still awaiting delivery... exceptionaly stuck in Hong Kong...

I found something very interesting and hopefully I will be able to mod it to fit my GX7 - 0.7mm to high (Pocket seems ok):

http://www.hobby-wing.com/arris-zhaoyun-3-axis-brushless-gimbal.html Just ordered and will post footage. This is a multirotor gimbal, sou you have to think for yourself to get handles attached. Price is way interesting!

Bloody hell, a few months ago I did a bit of research into 2 axis gimbals and have now come out the other end building this thing. A 3 axis handheld will be something I put together later next year. There are kits out there that are pretty much under $700 for everything you need.

Been having a go with the DEFY G2 lately and thought I'd share some footage from both testing and couple of jobs. Gotta say it's pretty straight forward to setup and use. Takes a bit of practice to get used to when walking or running. But way easier than my previous very limited steady-cam experience (both in the setup/balancing and actual use). Also, the customer service in my own personal experience has been top notch. The crew was always stoked to help answer any questions and even sent a couple of personalized video tutorials to help get me up and running. Loving it so far.

The DEFY maybe so good that Relentless does not comply with the production. But less well is the fact, to put off the customer due to a delivery date again and again. I've already ordered and paid for a G2 on 18 September 2013. The delivery was promised originally the end of October, then November. Now we already have December and I still get no binding message.

So dear DEFY fans, be careful with the promised delivery times.

Test of WCP Camera Stabilizer

ahhh great thing @Rambo ! this is definitely my next project, can't wait to see your pics of the beast !

Coming from multirotor background my needs for steady footage have now dropped over into land based requirements, and there are so many things in the pipeline in this part of the industry. I have thought about adapting some of our brushless gimbals to be used by hand but just the amount of messing about has put me off and so I await a manufactured solution like everyone else. Must tip a hat to Alexmos for their incredible controller boards, and hope that fairly soon we will have an affordable GH3 stabilized gimbal for the semi-pro or amateur videographer.
