My cheap Chinese is cheap Chinese.
I'm looking for something better, lighter, more crash resistant

I have the metal Walkers, weighs 120g.
Total Phantom weight with std battery and GoPro 3+ black is 1000g.
Flight time 7-8 min, no banging it.
Three curb crashes with no damage but one prop end.
Great gimbal, smooth, no jello.

I also have the metal 2D version and it works fine. I expect the plastic version to work similar and save a few grams of weight.

Just an FYI. I ordered the Walkera 2D Plastic from BangGood.com. Great price but...3 weeks after ordering it mine is still sitting at a dock somewhere in China waiting to start the next leg. If you want it quickly spend the extra $$$ and buy locally.

In case you wanted to know about the CheapChineseGimbal:
Here's what I got for 62 greenbacks.

It weighs in at 199.5 without the 2 mounting screws.
It can be a pain in the *** to connect if you don't know this: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=25901&hilit=+joy
I have crashed it into all kinds of stuff, many many times, and it still works just like new, most of the time.
Sometimes it doesn't want to "wake-up" properly after a crash. I just unplug it and plug it back in. Sometimes I need to remind it which direction it should be pointing, if that doesn't work I slap it around a bit... seriously, I give it a couple whacks in the butt.
The gimbal also has a really nice pitch control feature that isn't mentioned in the ad.
You may want to consider taller landing gear, or a special take off pad. There is only about 1/8" below my gimbal, when I'm on a perfectly flat and level surface.
Wanna know more, you might want to pm me to make sure I notice your question.
