Hello all.

Yes i'm a newb. I am patiently reading everything on this BBS and after joining late into the night find myself returning this morning to not understand what I am up against. Here is my story.

I am about to build a OCTO mutlirotor.
I want to build a 3 Axis Camera Gimbal powerful enough for a RED and position the camera from a RC Radio Controller on the ground.

Here is what I've found.
iPower Gimbal Brushless Motor GBM8017-120T

Here are my questions concerning the stabilization controller:
Is it required or recommended that the same motor be used on all three axis?
Is there a concise summary of the steps to get the controller board operational?

(I see alot of questions about not being able to get things working for one reason or another and it seems people just don't have the information they need...)

What basic adjustments are required to get the various motor choices people have to work correctly?

Finally, with the stabilization working satisfactorily, what is the recommended minimal RC radio controller needed to position the camera for the operator.

Thanks in advance for any assitance you can provide.
