1. Introduction

Brushless Gimbal is the next generation technology for high quality aerial photography. Senrigan GP-55 Brushl
ess Gimbal is driven directly with two Brushless Motors for 3-axis movement roll, tilt and yaw without gears or 
belts. The main advantages of this design compared to traditional actuators (servos) are the Brushless Gimbals 
have no backlash in the gear/belt, and it provides the instantaneous response to the disturbance. Due to lack of g
ears/ belts, this new Brushless Gimbal is extrenely easy to install and with low weight which is perfect for aerial 
activities. The lower the weight, the longer the flying time you can achieve.
Differ than others, the motors and Gimbal Controller of Senrigan GP-55 Brushless Gimbal have been well test a
nd tuned of the PID parameter for NEX N5/ N7 Cameras in the factory before selling. So no worries about the s
etting or PID tuning of the Brushless Gimbal. However, it is easy and convenience to change the setting (setup 
Follow Mode etc.) of GP-55 since it is using the famous Gimbal Software called Alexmos which is one of the 
most user friendly and functional software for brushless gimbals.

Features:

-Included with the newest 32 bits Alexmos Controller (with Auto PID Tuning)
-Double IMU Sensors price more precise and stable performance.
-Bluetooth module: Allow you to adjust the P.I.D values, Settings and control the Controller without wire by usi
ng your Android Smartphones.
-Direct drive of Brushless Motors for 3-axis including Roll, Tilt and Yaw axis.
-Simple and strong Mechanism Design
-Made of CNC Metal Parts and full Carbon Fiber Frames which is super light and strong.
-Super Steady Performance with high quality Rubber Tension Damper Balls.
-High Quality 3-axis Alexmos Brushless Gimbal Controller with High Quality CNC Casing.
-Well tested and PID parameter tuned by the factory for NEX N5/ N7/ Similar size cameras.
-Controllable Tilt and Yaw Axis Movement.
-Suitable for Alware Cyclone X8/ DJI S800 multicopters
-Easy to install and use.
-Ligh in weight.
