    • Remove gimbal from base handle by loosening round plate found at the top of the handle.

    This step isn't clear. How is the ring removed? Twist? Pry?

    Tried for hours. Seems it’s glued on?

    Jo Dee Lee -

    ok, the top cap is screwed on. I used a double sided tape around it to have a better grip and just twisted it. The cap has thread lock in it.

    I know. - Nowhere. You need buy another gimbal (non-working) for a parts. By the way, it will be good to make a manual for other disassembling of a gimbal - I mean rotating parts. Some info of this can be found in this video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5Xi-b8s...

    But not too much :(
