I decided to have a go at designing a brushless gimbal for my TBS Discovery because I didn't want to spend another $500 to buy a TBS Discovery PRO.

Designed to work with Tiger GB2208-80 gimbal motor ($30 each), had an Alexmos BGC lying around, you can get them for about $80.

The camera is balanced so that the lens is in line with the roll motor.  If the FPV camera isn't used the roll motor can by mounted on the centreline of the TBS Discovery.  

Another feature is the ability to mount the camera upside-down and have the pitch motor away from the FPV camera, yet still keeping the lens lined up on the roll motor.

The final design feature is the usb port still being accessible and a simple elastic band to retain the camera.
