VariZoom
Shot using GSS 520
In the meantime I made a short video with footage from first tests and projects with the Porta Head 2 and 5 prototypes. The footage is not stabilized in post to show the actual results of the gimbal. More footage will follow soon and also a test with the gimbal combined with the steadicam.
Best regards, Andreas

Thanks adamquesada, we are also testing a smaller 3-axis gimbal for GOPRO3:

Looks like the Movi has started shipping....
Heres a new video from Alex. The GUI seems pretty straightforward and not too complicated. The results in the video look just as good as the commercial rigs too. Ahh what to do...
What's your solution for the remote HDMI monitoring?
You can check topics about WHDI - http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/1134/wireless-hdmi-connection-whdi-options#Item_12
It is cheapest option for monitoring without lags. But range can be limited.
@ahbleza - pretty sure they use the Paralinx Arrow: Www.paralinx.ner
Did anyone test this kit as a starting point ? http://www.uuustore.com/mastorhx-twoaxis-brushless-gimbal-ptz-camera-mount-set-for-gh3-gh2-5n-nex7-camera-aerial-photography-p-1831.html It look well made, better than the falcon's and ok for a gh3 ... I know it's a 2 ways but it may fits my needs (a shoulder mounted rig like the Tom Antos one, so I want it to pan with me !)
@Mikelinn What's your solution for the remote HDMI monitoring?
I've been doing my research. I'm going to build one. I ordered a 5010-360kv motor to test. I will rewing the motor. I wish Martinez and Alex Mos had 3 axis single boards designed already. I've been looking at the Evvbg board which is 3 axis. Has a better microcontroller. And I've seen footage where both the Martinez and Evvbg are running Alex Mos firmware.
I do think the virticle axis is needed. That is the major benefit of a real steadycam. The arm absorbs the up and down motion of walking or running.
Since I will only be using it with a GH-2, I'm thinking of downscaling the rig. I don't hava a controller yet, but I will report back on my progress.
@MikeLinn nice footage!
The gyromatic gimbal certainly looks quite slick and well thought out. Much more so then the stabilgo which failed because they were asking for more then people were willing to pay for something that could be put together for under $200. At $550 for this one, I still think its too much and will probably not reach its goal but good luck to them.
@kevin_kirchman I think you are referring to the gimbal "frame" I linked to, not the gimbal w/controllers+motors I bought? If so, I have not yet bought the frame, so I cannot say unfortunately.
Looks exactly like the aliexpress, famoushobby movi clone. Good to know the motors can support a BMC.
