Is there room for HDMI cable out?

2nd the question on the hdmi cable connection?
Also, it there enough room to loosen, then turn the camera to remove the memory card?
Will you have part available for repairs?

I hope you keep it priced reasonably... more competition coming from Align's G3 series gimbals; it supports a range of cameras and lenses in the GH class and comes with Align's exclusive controller for around $1200.

From the videos I saw, the G3 is light years away from the Z15 in terms of stabilization. Close to a well tuned Alexmos, if anything. And no autotuning is mentioned anywhere.
Edit - here's one example OF THE ALIGN G3 GIMBAL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA61Vmrzg00&app=desktop
We'll be offering something significantly better than that.

What video are you referring to?

Looks cute with the aluminium/carbon etc. but the video does not impress. Axis control looks rather coarse and they could at least have sorted out the anti-vibe mounting. I wonder where all the necessary cables are going to be routed?

just FYI - that video is NOT video from F1 gimbal - that is video from new Align gimbal, which yep - not impressed -
it was implied that aligns new product was going to be competing with F1 and Samur posted that video and stated that their product was far superior. As far as I can tell, there is no video from F1 floating around the web yet. Looking forward to it though - especially given the Phobotics boards performance specs.

Haha, that's not an official video, it's testing footage from the development of the CP long before it came to the market. This video is intentionally mislabeled. If you want to see official videos, then go to video.phobotic.com

What is the current state of this gimbal? When will it be available for sale and at what price? Thanks

End of the year, priced between Align G3 ($1100) and Z15 ($2500) - sub $2k.

I'm waiting too but I think it will be the new year. I think these guys are doing it right and right always takes more time than planned.

I was going to wait but decided on the Quadframe V2 Medium size 3 axis gimbal and saved 15% over the Black Friday weekend to boot. Should arrive by weeks end. Bought the CP control from Phobotic as well with 15% discount this weekend, that's on back order and won't arrive for another week or so.

Yeah, I'd like an update on backordered product from Black Friday sale. Last I looked, website said backordered stock shipped on Dec. 14, I haven't received any notification of shipment. Email sent to Roee Monday, no response yet.
