Why not? But what do you need to stabilize with CC? Since camera hanging on wire, in this particular setup you only need to control pan and tilt for camera.
To avoid entire gimbal swinging on a wire there is mechanical gyro, so from a first sight it looks like you are fine with RX directly to servos.

a friend of mine asked me for help on building a cable cam...do you have links where to get good info on this topic?

Here is the gyros they are using: http://www.ken-lab.c...ml/pricing.html

Thanks for the info. I thought to use a cc is too for this system .
I've seen the page that you put, and the prices are very expensive, too for me .
Sorry to insist, but I am very new to this and I have little idea.
With a tx could move left and right, and then use other channels to the pan and tilt, right?
If anyone can help me in make a list of the materials that I need, i would be very greatful,
Right now I have one that works by gravity, but I want to make one to use it in any place
Sorry by ma english

I don't know much about this system too, but looking at the pictures and googling for a bit you can get all the info you need.
The first thing you got to do is find out how much money you can afford to spend on the project.

Here is some info found on vimeo

It is a hacker (a30-10L), but only because it was a motor I had on hand until my 850kV motor comes in. It's 1185kV (so FAR from optimal), and is pretty jumpy in the lower throttle ranges. But, it did work while we tested and got everything running.

You'll need ESC with reverse function to run gimbal in both ways.

If don't have access to CNC, some parts can be found here, lots of hardware: http://servocity.com...ccessories.html
