Tried for hours. Seems it’s glued on?

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 :(

Step 7

Locate and remove the black screw found at the base of the grey mounting plate.
Remove the grey face plate.

Step 8

Open the battery hatch and remove it by using the tweezers to press the hinge into the device.
Remove the black screw located underneath where the battery hatch was.

Step 9

Use the spudger to remove the front handle casing by sliding the spudger into the area between the handle grooves.
Slide the spudger around the groove to find the 6 clasps that hold the front part of the handle, and unclasp them.
Take off the front handle section to reveal the whole interior of the device.
