Those are the parts we are dealing with. The spools to the right are stand-ins for their future shapes after being shoved through the head of a 3D printer.
The gimbal itself is the 700 (shipped) CM301 from rctimer.com. This is a pretty-close-to-exact (dimensions-wise) clone of the Cinestar with the exception of going cheap on the screws, bolts, servos, boom clamps and pots. The rest is, from what I've seen, pretty good quality CF.
Not pictured is the 3rd axis of the gimbal and a few other parts.
The motors/controller:
2 x iPower GBM5206-150T These were rated at 2000g when I ordered, since then it has been dropped to 1400g. Odd, yes. We will see.
1 x Brushless Gimbal v3.0 Martinez board with IMU
----
$218 shipped.
Throw in some new screws, possibly some new clamps, and you are still sitting right under $1000.
How much weight will this actually hold, provided you achieve as perfect a balance as possible? Who knows, we will have to wait and see.
Still need to design and print the adapters for the BL motors and something to hold the Martinez in place.
I can't promise I'll be quick with this, but I will share whatever steps I take along the way. If you have one of these or the cinestar, the same process should apply.
