Bidirectional brushless DC motor with high starting and holding torque on the cheap

Question

I'm working on a DIY camera gimbal project, and I came across the issue of finding adequate brushless DC motor that:

Has enough starting and holding torque to lift and stably hold a 5kg mass when using a 60cm-length pulley
Is fast enough to move that mass 1.25m/s
Preferably costs under £25 ($32)

I've looked all over the internet on Amazon, Ebay, AliExpress, RS Components and more, but all I've found are things that have 5 times the specs I need, for 5 times the price, or things at £12 a piece but with half the specs. If there's some place I've missed, I'd really appreciate it if someone could help.

Thanks!

Hi, Welcome to Hw Recs! We usually give recommendations about electronic computing, so this may be off-topic for this site. This is probably why you couldn't find a tag to fit your question and put camera as your tag instead, which your question is definitely not about. — Bennett Yeo, Nov 22 '18 at 05:22
@BennettYeo Which site would you suggest I put it on instead? I used the tag 'Camera' because I need these for a camera project, so I thought it would be adequate. — Geza Kerecsenyi, Nov 22 '18 at 20:55
Well the thing is, recommendation type questions are pretty specific to this site and software recs, so it may not fit anywhere else. We've defined Hardware as any primarily electronic item that can perform more than one task, designed to interface with, connect to, or be, a primary computing platform in day-to-day operation. I haven't voted your question for closure, so if the mods don't mark the question off-topic in the next few days you should be good. — Bennett Yeo, Nov 22 '18 at 21:01
You could try electronics.stackexchange.com, not sure how friendly they are to recommendations. Unfortunately, there's not a stackexchange for every question. area51.stackexchange.com is the place for new site proposals, if you're willing to put the time and effort into that. — JMY1000, Nov 26 '18 at 21:11
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's not really a hardware recommendation. — JMY1000, Nov 26 '18 at 21:12
