Well done William! Do you know if the gimbal head of this unit can be reassembled rotated 180 degrees so that it will work with cameras like the Lenovo Mirage VR180 Camera. The Mirage has two forward facing 180 degree cameras that are partially or totally blocked when mounted in the standard configuration. There are other issues that need to be addressed to balance the camera but if the head can be rotated 180 degrees from its standard orientation then the Osmo handle can be held in its normal orientation. Just starting to experiment with this idea and thought you might be able be able to prevent any false starts.
