I have a dji f550, stock motors, apm 2.5

    There are some very expensive gimbals out there which i feel are grossly over priced, but there are now some reasonably priced ones coming onto the market that will do as good a job for a much lower price. 

    The last two I bought were from iflight RC. These are very well made. The stabilizer they sell is a bit of trick to get it up and running, but once its working its very good.

    FoxtechFPV also sell a few good models http://www.foxtechfpv.com/

    I'm using an Arris 2000 under my F550. it's very well built specifically for the Hero 3 without the case and is excellent from the factory. All I had to do was mount it and add power.

    Not sure what you're trying to spend, but i'm just entering this 'game' so I'm starting low - just ordered a Tarot T-2D after a lot of research - was originally going with the rctimer gimbal setup until i found the Tarot. I've spoken to users who own both and they say the tarot is an improvement, and has an overall smaller footprint.

    IF you want a good quality gimbal then you need to do three things.

    1: buy the TRUE alexmos gimbal controller from somewhere like csg shop

    2: buy or wind yourself some motors (iflight-rc.com)

    3: build yourself a gimbal.*

    *if you want some plans I actually designed a gimbal out of 5mm carbon fiber sheets for the bgm4006's form iflight. The design is just a bunch of sheets you glue to a 5mm think material of your choice and then cut out. You will need a bearing though....

    This is the reason I'm looking at nex5/7
    Much better just heavier.

    Honestly if your looking for AP equipment gopro is NOT one of them!

    unless you swap lenses and even then its not the best solution for quality

    I am curious to know what do you think of the Tarot brushless gimbal and stabilization system.

    Although I currently don't use a gimbal I will soon be buying a hero 3 black and am looking at the Aeroxcraft gimbal and the yun1.

    Although I feel I may just skip the gopro and go for an nex5/7.
