Servos for Gimbal - Hitec?

Hi Folks,
I'm wondering what model of servos you guys recommend for use with a video camera gimbal?
I'm using the Naza controller and want the best possible quality servo to run the gimbal I'm using.
Metal or nylon gears... I've heard nylon better for gimbal use.
I'm looking in to the HS-7975HB.
Is this a good option? I'm trying to get rid of all buzzing, and any play in camera movements.

Thanks for all the help...

Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
Hitec is having issues with jitters in their high voltage servos. Savox seem to work fine in the mount I've got them in. Buzzing could be tight belts, a gimbal that is way out of balance, too much dead-band, or maybe something else. a little buzzing is normal but if it's really making a lot of noise it may be due to something else.

Helijib,

If you are interested I have the original Savox servo's from the AV-130 mount laying around.

1x the SC-1258TG-360°
1x the SH-1290MG-360°
1x a Vishay 5K 10 turns pot
