As stated, the price is in CDN $'s.....I know because my charge card showed $409 CDN which includes $20 for shipping.
I'm in now if Rotorpixel verify this. Eric, what country do you live in? $409 CDN is about $369 USD.EricT said:
Ordered from Canada, paid in US dollars :roll:
ROTORPIXEL.COM 6472908378 ON
409.00 USD @ 1.1334
463.58

It's definitely USD... I emailed Keri before the pre-order went live to ask him if he was going to be selling in CAD and he said to me his online store would be using USD, and that's what I was charged when I actually bought.
Ok, installation looks nice and straightforward. Just waiting for the lens filter balancing instructions to be uploaded and I'll be all set!

BManCan said:I wonder how many rotorpixel gimbals were purchased by Phantom Vision owners near the Toronto area.
Maybe Keri could organize a "Build your Gimbal" day, and we all show up and help assemble / build/ test our own gimbals
All kidding aside, hopefully the shipping confirmations start ramping up soon.
Patiently waiting for my order ###383.

I live in Canada, just outside metropolitan Toronto and I must apologize....the charge to my credit card was for more than the $389 + $20 shipping......it was exchanged to CDN$'s whch is below par to the US$.

Put me down for one... Just one... does it include free shipping.
Funny thing is if I had actually done that, I would bet there would have been plenty who would buy them.
Check the website - some instructions and FAQ are up. Power from the white camera lead it looks like.

yeah I read the instructions..i didnt see anything about where they are pulling power from.
Well the fact that they call the servo wire the "pitch control cable" leads me to conclude they pull power from the camera's jack...?

You can pull the power from the stock phantom 2 vision jack. See a wiring diagram here: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid= ... EwNDE4ZDk0
Since the instructions say plug the stock jack to the gimbal, I guess that is how it works?
"We designed and manufactured a custom circuit board which accepts the thick white cable coming from the Phantom 2 Vision body. power is pulled from this white cable, and sent to the gimbal control board, and a thin/flexible custom cable plugs into the back of the Vision camera to maintain all wi-fi/FPV/telemetry information.
The IMU is mounted on the top of the camera (not shown in the images online, but we're updating things soon) in a small protective plastic case, and thin wire runs alongside the thin white cable plugging into the back of the Vision.
The 3-pin cable which normally goes to the Vision camera's crummy servo, instead plugs into our gimbal control board with another custom cable (thanks to DJI's choice of non-standard 2.0mm pitch connector...), which allows the pitch control to be maintained through the smartphone app.
So, as our product description says, you just need to plug in 2 wires... the standard white cable into our custom circuit, and the 3-pin servo cable into our board.
I hope that was helpful!"
i had no idea that white cable carried power?

no, i was under the assumption that the power came from the cable that attaches to the top of the camera.

Yes, turns out the connector is actually standard: http://www.wowhobbies.com/wwa-mc101moto ... e130x.aspx as stated by mattkaine in this post viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9002&start=140
