SONY FDR-AX100 on FeiyuTech AK4000

I finally found a Gimbal that works great with my Sony AX100. The first one I tried was a DJI RONIN M. I really liked the Ronin but I had a problem mounting this camera. It's not possible to open the LCD screen on the AX100 on the Ronin M. So the only way I could use it was to open the view finder. But even that interfered with the Ronin. I worked around it by putting a balance weight on the camera. But the biggest problem still was that I had to practically shoot blind. The AX -100 isn't able to pass video thru a remote monitor while recording in 4k. So I decided to give the AK4000 a try and it works great. The camera clears the gimbal in any position, even with the lens hood installed. The AK4000 also has not problem to handle the weight of the camera as it's rated at 8lbs payload. So far this gimbal is working great and seems to do everything I wanted. I'm not producing videos for a living, it's just for my own pleasure. I have a hard time to free handle a video camera and those motorized gimbals are a lifesaver for me.
