A revolutionary Idea for the next 3-axis gimbal

[Michael Ma]

Here's what would be a game changer for me:

A temporary lock trigger/button for the roll axis (by the way of a friction brake or a locking pin) so that I can use the zoom ring for quick zoom in's and out's while recording.  Maybe locking all the axes would work better.  But this is just one thing that we can't do right how with the 3-axis gimbal turned on and would be a major upgrade.  Would love to see this on the Pilotfly H3, Came TV Single 2, Beholder DS2, etc.

Thoughts?

Sounds pretty cool.. but do you expect the gimbal to hold the roll axis perfectly steady while you zoom in/out?  If so that seems like a hard problem since the motors will have to be adjusting rapidly to forces acting directly on the camera lens.. unless you have some smooth gear rings attached or something.
