Guys - tried all sorts re my cheap gimbal.
What i have found is that by using carbon props and balancing them - then mounting the GoPro straight onto the frame of the Quad - I get the best, almost vibration free video (no jello either).
I realised that the dampening balls (the red things) on the mount were probably inducing some tiny vibrations / rocking of the camera / gimbal unit - so I hard mounted the gimbal to the frame and I have the best video i've had so far by doing this.
So - my concern is that even if I go with a brushless gimbal - they have similar vibration / ball mounts. What are the gimbals like that you guys are using re rigidity of the whole unit and how well it mounts to the frame ? I'm guessing the less movement in the whole structure the better as it can't 'jiggle' about. I'm veering toward the Tarot Gimbal and perhaps the aeroxcraft 550 landing gear - but i'm unsure of how the gimbal would mount.. Still looking and trying to decide !
