"Hey James,
Thanks for the link. I put it in my wish list. I bought the 2-axis version for about $100. It did take about 3 weeks.

Good luck, I'll be watching on the side.

"Can you provide a link to the gimbal you purchased?I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you can control the GLB gimbal with the NAZA directly. I know that the DJI  ZenMus gimbal is brushless and it will work with the Naza if you use the PMU from DJI…"

"To Hein and Sandy:
Hein, your image of your gimbal board is totally different than mine.
Sandy, Your image of your board is exactly like mine. Did you also get a single cable with three individual female pins on either end? I'm at a loss as to what…"

"I have a DX7 so I am sort of limited to one 3-position switch and a couple of 2-pos switches. No dials at all. Since the switches are used to control flight functions of the Naza, you could say I'm a few switches short of a full console, but thanks…"

"Yes, kinda sorta. It was not completely level and I wanted to add a little forward tilt to it. - If it ain't broke, right? Regardless I would still like to be able to change some of the settings. It's my nature. Ha."
