My story... Bought an Iris+, bought the 3DR Tarrot gimble. Screwed it on, connected the wires as per pretty good instructions, and it worked beautifully! Tilts up and down with the knob on the radio! COOL! Bought a second Iris+ after the price drop on Amazon, just to be a test bird. Bought the cheap gimble, that everybody sells for around $50 $60. Had to rig a mount, as it was designed with DJI in mind. Got it on the Iris+, and nothing worked right. Spent an hour in mission planner, tweaking the gimble settings. Almost got it close to right, and when re-routing wires, plugged one in wrong, and let the magic smoke out of the gimble control board. Soooo, I ordered another 3DR gimble, screwed it on, connected the wires, annd presto! works perfect.
BTW, I ordered 2 replacement controller boards for the cheap gimble, around $5 each, and they work.
