I broke that small articulation sphere in my WH gimbal. It doesn’t like twist loads, at all!
I actually managed to save it with superglue and drilling holes that I filled with carbon fibre rods and superglue. I also got a replacement from TM, but the damage to my confidence was done.
I ordered the VKB Black Mamba.
The VKB base had the CH style pincher gimbal, but worked really well.
I still use that gimbal in my DIY RDR ConTrollR.
The VKB cam replacement gimbal was even better.
But I like to use an extension, and more centering force, so I got the BRD-N.
