yeah but i cant find that motor type,the one on hobbyking is already offsale,thats why i asked.

take my professor's mantra: if you can buy it, buy it! it is cheaper than DIY.

here it is much more than a question of motors. The whole thing involves inertial sensors and a well designed electronic system to steer the actuators. If you know the inertia of the moving part, the frequency/amplitude spectrum of the movement to be compensated, then the actuator/motor minimum specs follow from a mechanical calculation. So the motor specs are the easy part. It is a long way from there to a working gimbal-stabilizer.
