    Hi everyone,

    my name is Emiliano and I'm based in Italy. I own a P3 Standard and a Tarot 960 Hexa with a clunky servo gimbal from Tarot attached to it. So far I've been using the P3 mainly for video work as it's stabilized very well and the Tarot just for taking photos with my Canon 6D and Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM lens.

    From a few video tests I made with the Canon 6D, I noticed the image is not very stable - I don't have a problem with a little bit of wobbliness with plenty of daylight on a full frame camera (shutter speed > 1/1000th at all times) but for night shots I'd rather have a more stable platform. At ISO 12800 f/2.8 I can't get a properly exposed picture at less than 1/15 which doesn't really give me satisfactory results. Here's a link to a night shot of the city of Brescia which as you can see looks ok at first glance but looking closer you can definitely notice a bit of blur.

    I've been having a look at good brushless gimbals suitable for the Tarot 960 frame and Canon 6D but haven't found anything so far. The Zenmuse series are made for GoPro, Panasonic GH and Canon 5D MKIII. The Tarot 3-axis brushless gimbal is designed for the 5D MKIII too.

    Does anyone know of a brushless gimbal that would work well on my Canon 6D? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
