I downloaded and installed the older 8-bit SimpleBGC v2.2-b2. This Windows program requires Java (runtime). This appears to be a cloned-controller, so I think you are risking a bricking with flashing any other firmware. I'm not planning to do any firmware upgrades.

This version of SimpleBGC is fine and seems to work good. The "Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge" driver loaded fine on this laptop. Mine connects with COM5. Its Cycle Time is counting and there are no I2C errors reported. Since it appears to have retrieved the current settings (from the controller) on start, I saved "Profile 1" as the shipping-defaults. Lots of settings here and I suggest you consult manual docs and not change anything that you are not familiar with.I wont redo the great video Brian has done at painless 360 so here is the video
Here is a short video of the gimbal in action ,camera is a Turnigy action camera

Haha, I have to wait until they are back in stock. But I think you can also allow your FC to control it if the firmware is not the best.

Haha, they are sending it to me for free :p Certainly coming from China, but I like that is is aluminium, instead of plastic like most products from China. That way if it breaks I can rep[air it easily.

OK it like this the throttle and pitch works on the one stick ( throttle stick) so we fly on a fixed throttle so the throttle stick now only adjusts pitch, So when the heli is inverted you give it neg pitch to climb up which is down on the throttle stick
The throttle stick in 3D works like this from mid stick down the pitch gets greater( neg pitch ) inverted flying mid stick is hover point mid to full up the pitch gets greater( pos pitch ) heli normal way up, but while your doing this your balancing the heli with the cyclic but remember left is right ,right is left , backwards is forward ,forward is backwards down is up ,up is down
