My idea of detachable gimbal

You need bigger sensor camera attachment. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=30546&p=279504#p279504

How about Sony QX1, it's way cheaper than GoPro hero 4 and way better image quality as it carries a huge DSLR sensor in it. It's light too (158g) lighter than the lightest NEX camera or way lighter than GH4 and i think any cheap 3 axis gimbal made for gopro/nex from china could be able to hold...
