Carbon Fiber Shock Absorber Gimbal PTZ for DJI Phantom Quadcopter Airplane Gopro Hero 3 FPV (DJI F450 Gimbal,Gopro Hero 3 Shock Absorber Gimbal,Quadcopter Gimbal PTZ)

I used this mount to put my gopro3 on my bugs4w drone and it works really well.

I got this and immediately saw how all the pieces fit together, but having built an Alien X-Mode 450 drone from he ground up, this was super easy in comparison. The damper grommets are superb for isolating certain frequencies of vibration that NTSC cameras are sensitive to, they are both sturdy and more secure than I am accustomed to. I fly a 2.5lbs quad with emax 2216/810kv motors swinging 12x4.5" propellers on 3s for filming and 4s for more acrobatic movements, and previously I had a problem with jello in 30hz and 60hz. Not anymore though, even considering the only change I made was to mount my Hero 4 Session on this"cost effective" gimbal... and voilà, it's gone. Not sure how a different gimbal made that much difference, but my money is on the grommets. Oh, and go posterity, I had to use 4 brass standoffs to make sure the gimbal cleared my landing gear and frame, but again it was super easy for me.

Got this for a Syma X8C. This does not fit/mount to the X8C without being creative or modifying the UAV. Not going into detail but I got creative and mounted it to my X8C. I was extremely surprised at the quality of video (Hero 4 Black) I was able to obtain, no jello even though I expected a little. I only had the gimbal on a short time though. I had difficulty controlling a safe decent with the gimbal and GoPro mounted and was worried about damage to my camera. The X8C has plenty to lift it but once the X8C starts down it is hard to go back up. Might have too much weight with my "creative" mount. I haven't seen anyone else with X8C's with my issue. The gimbal itself is of good quality. However, It comes with NO instructions.

Before I got this, I had attached my camera to my drone with velcro, which works alright. It added a bit of shake to the video on top of the movement of the drone. With this, it removed the added shake quite well while keeping the camera fairly steady. The parts weren't difficult to put together though the pivot portion doesn't really tighten as well as I would like. The top portion is carbon fiber and the arm that comes down is aluminium. The back plate for the camera is also carbon fiber. It holds the camera snugly and works well for what it was made for.

Good easy product. Didn't come with instructions but after looking at the reviews I went with zip ties for security and the screw that attaches the mount is not trusted so I used my go pro mounting screw
