What are the included camera specs on the Walkera? Does $1,899 include a 3-axis gimbal?

I would fully expect to have to replace the camera, and that's what I plan to do when the Hero4 arrives, but you have no option but to take the iLook with the RTF version, and I think it only adds about $100 to the total. The gimbal seems good as viewed in a recent video posted in RCgroups, but may need firmer absorbsion mounts, which I believe are interchangeable with the DJI mounts. The gimbal will accept a GoPro, but then you lose the built in VTX and will have to use something external.
