CNC Gimbal installation on P1.1.1

[Woody]

I've been thinking about getting one of these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281642233884?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT Just looking for advice about installation and setup. Would anybody here be willing to help me through the process?

That looks like the same one I have Woody. Mine weighs 200 grams and I'm swapping it out for the plastic Walkera because it's much lighter.
According to that ad, it weighs in at 230 grams. That's one seriously heavy gimbal.

I just looked at the Walkera on eBay and I don't think it works with a GoPro Hero 2, that's why I was looking at the CNC. Please let me know how your new gimbal works out for you.

I have this gimbal, Weights 160 grams http://www.marktplaats.nl/a/hobby-e...VS-Zu763ERu7-6iWNJcKsArOaZXkS2mJByIC5p5_8c3nA

btw, consider hooking up your gimbal to the GUI software and upgrade the motor power output. The stock power output is very low. Its set to 50. Maxed out its 256 I believe. I've set roll at 80 and pitch at 100.

I had that gimbal, and it worked alright. It would pitch up if I accelerated too quickly or made small adjustments in a hover. I tried to use the Alexmos bcg software but the gimbal controller is a Chinese copy of an Alexmos board, and not compatible with the software. If you buy one of those make sure it's compatible with the Alexmos software, as the Chinese one does not have its own version of the assistant software. I use mine on a stick now as a handheld Gopro gimbal
