D I have 3 askman mounts now they are all underslung, I would love to find a gimbal like the one DJ used to make for a nice 600 front mount.

You guys should just buy the following:

Two Futaba Parallax servos: $24
One sheet of 12x24x3/32" G10: $25
Misc hardware: $5.00

Then proceed to build your own kick ass front mount. It's fun and easy, and about 1/8 price.

There is just something nicer about someone who can machine parts

Here is my current front mount..

G10 is easy to cut with a jig saw, the smooth and round with a hand power sander.

I really like making mounts for some reason. I've made three front mounts, and now have a perfected design that I like. Now I'm doing 360 underslung mounts too. It's a fun process, and you can build to exactly what works for you, rather than a mount that works for everyone well, but isn't specific to one's needs.

Thanks for the tips fellas.
Just so happens I am a fitter machinest with CNC experience.
I also hate doing foreign orders so I have sent an email to askman.

I think you'll find Askman is away this week (read his homepage). The man works like a trogan.... you gotta take a break sometime :).
