I've not heard of it before, but it looks like a pretty serious piece of kit.  I take it the camera gimble will eventually take something larger than a GoPro, the poor little thing looks lost on it ;)

Looking forward to see the end result. I just hope you are not going to just be using a gopro on that beast of a gimball.
