Looks like we may have a contender for the BlackMagic mini cube

This is a very good question. The last time I was using AM was about 7-8 months ago (due to cooperation with Phobotic). I can say that it has changed a lot now, for good. AM with encoders is just reliable and much better. It just work. It is installed in InfnityMR for about 2 weeks, not even once it went crazy. It works.
Phobotic, on the other hand, is also great controller. It delivers amazing accuracy and has much better GUI. But I had to say that encoder is AM, change the way you can play with gimbal. This is something that CP doesn't have.
I am in this good position that I can use both of them
You have to decide on your own.There are videos (on the first page), that you can download and compare.
What I've learned over last 2 years while building gimbals, is that you can have best controller, but if your gimbal mechanics is crap, than you will never get good results ( I am talking here about AM 32bit and CP; AM 8 bit is a different story...).
No. I use only orginal S900 damping and that's it. Of course there is also damping system on the gimbal. But it is quite rigid to eliminate only high freq vibrations.

I think that will be a sweet setup

Is it not possible to use the encoders with the CP?

The CP doesn't utilize motor encoders. Not sure if this is something that Roee will even be working on. He seemed to be of the opinion that they did not offer a benefit for our applications (discussed in a post a while back).
I found this odd since the higher priced gimbals (complete hardware/software packages like Gremsy, Movi, etc) seem to be utilizing encoders. Doesn't mean those companies are correct, but it seems Jakub has found some value and good results here with them too.

Ah. I was going off a post from a little while back. This may be something new.

Is that the Alexmos or the Phobotic???

This test was made on GH4 and 35mm lens. Calculating GH4 crop factor that gives 80.5mm on full frame!
Isn't that amazing?
Note the horizon level - it is perfect!
I was flying on S900 in ATTI mode, as you can see it was quite aggressive flight.
I am sure that if this test was made on different frame than S900 (frame that is a bit more stable and rigid) the performance would be 100% perfect. S900 is terrible, but still the best reference frame for all tests.

Thanks. Yes it is good. 80mm lens test...
What kind of communication do you mean? You want to use MK FC as second IMU source? Or jus you want to use RC?
AlexMos of course has autotuning feature. Actually I use it all the time in all my test. In general I run autotune for each axis separately. Results you can see on my all videos.
