Hello everyone. I want to introduce to everyone our company, Gearhead Machineworks. This is a division of our video services company Gearhead Flicks L.L.C. http://www.gearheadflicks.com
We have been designing and building our own ground based and aerial camera equipment for use in our video business for years, and realized one day "Hey these products are so good we really should sell this stuff". So, that is exactly what we are doing. We have been tooling up and establishing or production functions over the past year and are now finally ready to rock.
We are a small company based in Spring Texas USA. We are passionate about what we do and have a goal to provide something different to the market. We aim to provide PREMIUM products to the DIY multirotor and gimbal market along with actual product support and customer service. Since many products for this market are designed, manufactured, and supported from China it can be difficult at best to get the product support and customer service you need after you have spent hundreds, and in some cases thousands of dollars with a given company. Well, this will not happen at Gearhead Machineworks. We will not leave you out to dry. If you buy something from us we will do everything in our power to make sure you are happy and taken care of, post sale. Below is some info about the first product we just released. We have many products soon to be released. Please keep an eye @ our ebay store. The name of our store is gearheadmachineworks. Any questions please feel free to PM, post here, or email me at gearheadmachineworks@gmail.com.

Gearhead Machineworks W.A.S.P. 12 Motor Cage System (DESIGNED FOR LARGE CAMERA GIMBALS)
There is a revolution going on right now in camera stabilization systems. Brushless gimbal technology is taking over. With the right system, simply amazing performance is possible. Unfortunately, full systems capable of delivering quality footage cost exorbitant amounts of money. But, are they really worth these lofty prices? At Gearhead Machineworks our goal is to bring you the best products for your build at a fraction of the cost. We sell parts and assemblies which allow you to build up your own high end camera stabilization rig. We offer premium products for the DIY market. We thoroughly test our designs in our own gimbal systems. During design and development our engineering team communicates directly with our in house video crew. Each new design is handed to the video crew for testing. Field testing is performed and feedback communicated back to our engineers. This trial by fire approach to engineering results in unparalleled quality and performance for a price you can afford. We have the best designs on the market for your DIY project.
The W.A.S.P. 12 Motor Cage System is the same system we use in our gimbals. It has been through multiple design revisions and months of testing. The centerpiece of this system is an innovative outboard bearing support and super rigid aluminum motor cage design. The purpose is to eliminate flex under load and remove radial runout on the motor’s axis, commonly referred to as “slop”. Machine tolerances used in the mating parts are very tight and the structure itself is very rigid. These machine design characteristics are imperative to produce super smooth video, especially with heavy loads seen using 10-12 LB cameras. This motor support system mounts up to 25mm diameter tube. It is designed to house larger brushless motors. It accepts a number of different motor types. The motor cage has a max camera carry capacity of 12 LBS. The same motor mount system can be used on Pan, Roll, and Tilt axes by selecting which option fits your needs. Please check out our video services website too!

Unique design giving your rig a PRO look and PRO performance
Designed to mate quickly and easily to 25mm diameter carbon fiber tube
Innovative external bearing support keeps axis completely slop free
Easily install motor of your choice. Designed to fit a variety of large brushless gimbal motors (Sold without motor)
Includes a slot for passing the motor wires through the carbon fiber tube, hidden from view
Different options are available to fit your particular gimbal build configuration
Tapped holes x 3 located on the rear of the motor mount for affixing things, such as a controller board box or battery tray
Tool free single point balance adjustment thumb screw
High quality matte black anodized finish
All fasteners made of stainless steel for ultimate longevity and corrosion resistance
