    Lots of people fly Epics on the cinestar here's video from freefly with them doing it https://vimeo.com/28738207 i think you just need the Red adapter so the mount can fit around it http://www.kopterworx.com/Mounts-Accessories/Red-adapter-for-CS-gimbale.

    XAircraft Pimped my Xaircraft x650 v8 with Torxpower heavy lift motors and WKM etc

    Defiantly worth it for me as i'm gradually upgrading to bigger ship so i'll use these upgrades on my next frame/gimbal setup. and like this i can fly a canon 550 for 9 mins untill i can afford all bit for my next build.
