I'm new to camera gear, but I hobby in engineering. A friend asked if I could figure out a compact 3 axis gimbal with a follow focus thumb dial on the handle, and an external monitor. He uses a Canon 5D mkII that weighs in at about 11 lbs with his heaviest lens. I was hoping the community here could recommend a motor, controller, and battery combo suitable for this kind of weight. I should also note that the pitch axis will often be off balance because of the lenses.

Sorry for asking to be spoon-fed information. I'm just so busy with work that I can't spare the many hours it'll take me to get up to speed on the electronics side of things. As soon as I have the electronics in hand, I can take measurements, and start modeling the finished product. I will be cnc milling my own components from aluminum. I look forward to sharing the build
