They';re a standard DYS frame, which we think works very well for the NEX5, 6 and 7 cameras.
5008 motors with CarbonCore Multicopter logos.
Basecam 3-axis boards with USB socket.
3 memories or profiles for different gain settings.
We';re bench-testing these and leaving them on for as long as possible.

We can email to you the firmware, profile.hex, GUI and our own text quick guide.
Gimbals will be delivered ready for fitting to a Cortex 62x62mm mounting points, bench tested with NEX5 (not included), in plain brown box with a lot of bubble wrap.
Supplied product may vary very slightly from the photos, the point is it';ll work and you won';t have to spend a fortnight figuring it out!

All spare parts are available and will soon be online again.

On the original website photos, the Gimbal is shown fitted to the lower frame plate of the Cortex.  It';s too close to keep the propellers out the view in forward flight. This is with 235m legs that are built-in to the Carbon Airframe kits. In the Almost-Ready-to-Fly (ARTF Cortex) pic on the right, the 235mm legs have been removed and 385mm legs fitted.

These pictures show a parts kit we can offer for lowering the gimbal away from the Cortex chassis, and propellers.
The Cortex has a forward-mounted position for the gimbal as well as the centrally fitted as shown in the next photos. Fitting it forward will also improve the view but I';ll try that later. Also flying with Dual Rates on in the transmitter, reducing the control throws at full sticks to 50% halves the pitch and bank angle of the multi-rotor also keeping the props out of shot.

We have hundreds of 12 x 190mm Carbon tubes and 60mm pillars, although I need to get some 5x10x10 grommets.
All the edges were cut from 16 grommets and super glued to the 60mm pillars with 10mm washers and bolts glued in.

The newly assembled CarbonCore 3-Axis Gimbal with Sony NEX5 Camera.
This has been bench tested bother before and after fitting to the Cortex.
The centre of the camera lens is about 350mm from the lower frame plate.

The 3-Axis Alexmos Gimbal is now fitted to the Cortex with Naza.
The bolts on the ends of the carbon tubes go through keyholes in the lower frame plate and are bolted-up trough holes in the top plate.

The Gimbal Receiver is powered by the +5V from the Naza Regulator, that also powers the Cortex flight receiver.
The Gimbal itself is powered by the left blue regulator set to 11.1V, this will also power the video transmission we';ll fit next.

This thread is now going over to the Cortex Naza Build thread for flight test results!

I';ve now edited together some ground-to-air footage with aerial shots from the NEX5 on the CarbonCore 3-Axis Gimbal!
