I know I need a decent Gimbal and which is a good fit with minor to no modifications? And how is gimbal powered? Prob sound stupid but just want to buy the fight stuff. I've looked all thru there threads and in just flat out lost. Any recommendations? Thanks.
Get the Walkera G-2D. It's well made, lighter than the nameless eBay Chinese ones and pretty much plug and play. There is an auxilliary power cable poking out of one of the FC-40's legs; pull that out and solder the Walkera power lead onto that so when you plug the main battery in, the gimbal will be powered from it. If you want to get fancy and have control over your gimbal tilt, you'll need to connect a single cable from the F2 port on the NAZA controller to the pitch control input on the gimbal and you'll also need to modify your transmitter with a gimbal tilt lever. DJI make one but it's stupidly flimsy looking. I got a 5k linear pot off eBay, drilled a hole in the back of my controller, removed the old mini pot from the RC TX and soldered the new one in its place. Works very well and took about 15 minutes to do.
