Arducopter and Zenmuse gimbal

Posted by Reegan Busby on October 3, 2013 at 2:41pm

Hello everyone (Im new), ive been vigorously researching and finalising what components id need to build my own quadcopter

Id like to know if the DJI Zenmuse H3-2D gimbal is compatible with Arducopter 2.5? The Naza controllers are just way too expensive and ive need the most stable gimbal for video filming and so far the zenmuse h3 2d has come out on top. The price is steep but as a professional image quality is everything!

Will add a discussion tomorrow about the setup im intending to build

Thanks

Hopefully you have experience flying. Before you fly with expensive equipment you need to be sure you can fly well and safely. Even with all the automatics you still need flying skills.

dji zenmuse is not compatible with any other controller than dji's own

What are you trying to do? The gimbal control board takes care of the gimbal leveling. You cannot connect it directly to the APM that is for servo controlled gimbals which is now old tech. You can connect the gimbal control board to a couple channels on your RC receiver for pitch and roll manual control that would over ride the normal gimbal anytime you want.
