You can also find the same setup on Amazon. Gearbest seems to be out of stock, frequently.

Can you be a little more detailed on how to do that?

The motors are different. Go to Amazon and look them up. You can see the difference there. And, if you have them in your hands, you can feel the difference. I'd like to see what kind of hybrid you create. o_O

I've been conversing with this guy, Christian Porto who has already done this. His video (proof of success) is here:

I finally invested in a good balance charger and parallel board. I am sooooo haaaaapy that I did. Man! Getting a solid, balanced charge on up to 6 batteries at once, in less than half the time it used to take to charge just one battery! It's worth every penny...

Take a look at: http://www.amazon.com/DBPOWER-Waterproof-Action-Batteries-Accessories/dp/B00PF9MTJ6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1458079018&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=dbpower+action+camera&psc=1. A great camera with wifi for a fraction of a GoPro.

The stiff zip ties cancel out the cushion of the foam padding. Get some sticky back velcro, double it, and use that to mount your camera with.

These are actually OEM replacement motors for the C and W models. They will work in a G. BUT, they're not as strong of a motor that comes in the G. This is the OEM type replacement motor for the G: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014ITZNK0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00. It...

The camera mount for the X8G is actually designed to accept the GoPro. No other mods required. But, keep looking at different youtube videos and posts here. You may want to add a gimbal, and bigger battery, eventually. May I suggest...

Mike, with the X8G, jello is not the issue. The C and W models have a fixed mount that, as you said, can be cushioned very cheaply.The X8G camera mount includes cushioning that cancels out the jello quite well. The object of the powered gimbal is to keep the camera focused at the angle that you...

I found some 2500mAh / 25C batteries that fit, on Amazon. I also have some 3000mAh / 30C that are just a little too long to fit into the compartment. Weight is the big issue. The W motors ARE stronger and will lift more. But, between the G2D gimbal and camera, I can't add the extra weight. So, I...

I'm looking for a 3000mAh 30c battery that will fit in the X8W battery compartment. Anybody ever hear of such an animal?

My friend with the C just crashed it and destroyed his G2-D gimbal. Not enough power to support the additional weight. Another friend just ordered a G and all the same gear that I have. Can't wait to see how it goes. He will have either the same exceptional performance that I do, or the same...

Agreed. The camera on the G is much better than on the C. Another friend has just ordered the same set up as I have from Amazon, including the G, gimbal, camera, the works. I'm really looking forward to seeing if his motors are as good as mine. Or, if it's just some kind of fluke. I know my...

The question is; are any of those designed to work with the Syma X8 series? And, regarding the complete kit. Well, it's not complete for one thing. You still need the transmitter, receiver, batteries, landing gear, etc. Seeing that I already have the quad, I'm just looking at upgrading, not...
