planning on putting one and go pro on. How much more drain on the battery? Will it work without input from the transmitter?
The power drain from the battery is not much, but when you start adding weight you will lose fly time. Using the 9 inch vision props will help ,you can also use a larger battery like the Multistar 4000 .

After a few good crashes while attached to the FC40 ,the Walkera is still going strong. It has a new home on a F550 . The only problem I have had with the metal version is I pinched the wires on the support arm ,causing the gimbal to have the shakes. I repaired the wires and all is good. I don't think the plastic version would take the abuse I have given it. With the stock Phantom battery and Vision props I got about 9 min. With the Multistar 4000 I averaged 12 to 13.
I like the Walkera so much I am thinking about getting the G3d gimbal .
I took this video with the Walkera 2d this past weekend
I have the new transmitter with built in lipo battery and tilt wheel. (I broke my original trying to add a tilt knob) I also did the yaw mod . With a switch and adjustable resistor. After watching this video I think I'm going to order the 3D ..thanks Beario...this hobby this keeps my UPS man happy.The video looks smooth as well. Just wondering what the advantage is of one over the other, and then I did some research to see, so now leaning more towards the 3D. Did you setup the pitch lever? Looks like we will need longer legs after watching this video --->

I found a few EBay sellers for the G3 ,any luck with a store type dealer?These videos are for a phantom 2, but I plan to use them for reference. There is some soldering required or you can use the extra power cables in the phantom. There is another install video in English also. The mounting plate will require you to drill a hole. Also you can ignore the 3d printed parts they are selling for the phantom 2

I just ordered it. Same Ebay seller. I have a three day camping trip this weekend. Hope it gets here before FridaySo far the lowest price I can find in the US is on Ebay. Ships from California it says in 2 to 3 days for $138.96

This price is better than Amazon and other sellers and they do have a 30 day return policy. If I do not find anything better going to pull the trigger here.

i use a small video camera for the FPV ,its stuck to the right motor of the gimbal. i dont have anything connected to the SJ . i only record from it.Tallyrver I do have a question in regards to the SJCAM. I have had 2 of them just die on me and so I run a 2 camera setup with a separate camera for FPV. I'm just not sure why they keep dying I have no power attached to the SJCAM from the OSD, just the ground cable and the video cable. I am wondering your experiences so far and if you can show me a picture of your setup because we have the same OSD.
