The main mission cameras we're using are Sony NEX's (NEX5s and NEX7s). I needed a very high quality gimbal that not only supported the NEX line of cameras, but had the capacity to handle bigger DSLRs and camcorders if need be. It was surprisingly hard to find an off-the-shelf BLDC-based solution, so I ended up have one custom fabricated.
Note the integrated avionics package mounted on the rear of the gimbal. It includes necessities like onboard HDMI to composite video conversion, and two separate DC busses to power the various components of the camera, gimbal and downlink systems.
