Hi all,
I have a TBS Discovery for some time now, very good quad.
But when I saw arriving Discovery Pro I said I want it!
I almost had a heart attack.
So I decided to custom mine.
I had to make a well-considered simple and removable system.
So I bought a cheap gimbal for testing, this:
Here is my first test, I posted there some time.
Considering the quality of the nacelle (plug & play), I decided to keep it and modify it to TBS.
I wanted to have a system in line with the Discovery, so I got started in the measurement and design to allow this.
I removed the unnecessary things.
Then I printed my adaptation in 3d printing.
The advantage of this system, I unscrew a screw and two cables unplugged, gimbal power supply and servo wire gimbal, and I can remove the gimbal to go for a real FPV flight.
That the Discovery Pro does not allow, because the gimbal is unremovable.
I am very satisfied of results.
The first flight with this custom

Having the camera that far forward will interfere with your centre of gravity, surely? Ive got a disco and its just ok with the gopro in place - you must have quite a forward lean?
@Gary, Thanks, keep in touch for the video
@Taylor, good luck
@Euan, I dont understand you Euan !?
That's a CoG nightmare, surely?

Great adaptation Polak74 and a really nice description of the conversion.
I look forward to seeing your video.
Thinking about doing something similar for my Flip.
