All New, what motors?

bbuster

Good day everyone,

I would like to build my own Gimbal and using a 32Bit Alexmos board with 2 sensors (i think this is better than just 1?)

I do have a 12v Lithium battery which i user for my HDMI screen and led light and would like to know if i can use this battery to power the gimbal? (http://www.ebay.com/itm/182061029567?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT)

I have also found some motors that could support my camera's weight (Canon Eos 5d Mark III + 24-70 lens)
(http://eud.dx.com/product/brushless-gimbal-motor-gm7008h-high-performance-large-torque-for-z-axis-dslr-camera-black-844382214)

Is this possible? Can i use the battery, power the Alexmos board with it and connect the motors to the board and will it all work?

Thank you!

12v is ok to power the gimbal. 2 sensors is better for non encoder gimbal. encoder gimbal needs just 1 sensor (IMU)

How well it will work much depends of the frame.

Thank you,

how can i know if the board is encoded or not? I don't see it mentioned anywhere?

you may want to look at motor combos with BGC controller , motors, IMU, & encoders!

Thank you but those are much more expensive and the motors are not listed as 2kg of camera weight.

3x the motors in my list are under $120 and can lift almost 3kg
Alexmos board with 2 IMU sensors (camera + frame) doesn't need encoded motors right?

never heard of those brand motors before! so I should warn you!!! you get what you pay for !! 99% of gimbals are running i-flight, Tiger-RC, DYS , elite, gimbals motors. I would not buy those unless I seen them on something that works well. for i-flight GM6008H kit with motors , encoder , controller & imu around $400-$500 encoder motors are the NEW thing less hassle!

Howdy, Stranger!
