thanks
the max payload I did tests at where at 55lb with the amp rate at 8.7 id like to the roboteq board handles an amp limit of 30, but i am more concered or striping gears on the tilt, this is where the most stress is, the pan and roll have an amp rate of no more then 3 amp per channel.. so its nothing realy. I will rate the system for 35lb as standard load.
We have just come across a new motor with bigger gearteeth but nothing tested yet, id like to get it set to where our jib is rated at 100lb load for film cams but that later:)
