In this paper we report our first experimental results towards the establishment of a novel nanooptomechanical platform consisting of a hybrid, carbon nanotube-based mechanical resonator. We have been able to optically measure and actively control these resonators demonstrating a record force sensitivity at ambient temperature. Finally, we have observed optomechanically-induced dynamical effects and optomechanical enhancement of the force sensitivity in a cavity-free scheme.
