Hi, I'm new to the board and just received my Phantom a few days ago. Been doing a lot of research on the product and finally pulled plugged. With a modified mount, I've been using my Sony TX200v camera on the Phantom for 4 different flights with no issues. While the video quality is far better than the GoPro 3, the jello is still bad.
I did a little more research today and came up with Sony's new Balanced Optical SteadShot (BOSS). There's no way to describe how awesome this seems to work without you guys seeing it for yourself:

)
So my question, how much can the Phantom hold? Here are the weight specs on the Sony HDR-CX430V camera that will be released in March with the BOSS system?
Weight (Approx.) : Approx.11.3oz ((320g) Main Unit Only); Approx.13.2oz(NP-FV50(supplied battery);Approx.14.8oz(NP-FV70); Approx.1lb2.3oz(NP-FV100)
Here is the product specs about the camera from Sony:

The camera is expensive but if the Phantom can hold this Sony I believe it's worth it.
