Will a Gimbal work with Syma X8G?

[Brian Trudeau]

Another newbie here, so bear with me if you would. I`m hoping to get the Syma X8G soon, because of the quality of the camera at the price. I`d still prefer better quality (re Gello) if poss though, and wondered if anyone knew if a 2 axis brushless gimbal would fit between the camera and it`s base without grounding the poor thing? Thanks

You note many change out the landing gear. Many options and colors.

Thanks Jackson. Appreciate the links too. One more question, the links you show on ebay are for a DJI, not a Syma, are they compatible? Thanks

You may need to make some of them work. Ain't brain surgery.

Watch this vid.

Ok thanks. Never done any modding before

I`ve seen both cheap carbon fibre gymbals eg: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231645055466?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
and more expensive ones with motors. Obviously the more expensive ones with motors are better, but if I were to buy a gymbal with motor that was intended for a say, DHI, would that work? Thanks

You are not going to be able to control movement with the X8, but once adjusted you'll get decent stabilized video, but you still may need a few tweaks to completely eliminate jello. But you will need to pull a power source from somewhere.

Thanks Jackson. Good with my hands, but dont know jack about electrics and wiring

Good with my hands

Well if that's the case you should make your own anti-jello mount for the camera. There are tons of YouTube vids out there there, they can be made for next to nothing.

Good Luck.
