Well I might have to try and make this compatible with my mount.
Is there anyone who can weigh the 3D printed version?

Project MotorPixie - Open Source 2-axis gimbal for P2V

I have confirmed that the F1 connector is in fact tilt control. I simply moved the stock pitch servo from F2 to F1. Instead of the servo being activated when the phantom pitched the servo activated when the phantom tilted.
I'm going to connect my gimbal to to the stock NAZA-M when it arrives at F1 and F2. If this goes as expected it's going to be difficult to convince me the extra weight, power consumption and expense for an external controller can be rationalized.
Hello.
Here is my proto for 3 axis gimbal for P2V.
It work fine at ground but some vibration problem in flight.
Please remember .... its a first proto. Lego lending gear just used to test ! ;-)
I propose again to collaborate with every people wanting a free and open design for everybody.
Already printing corrected parts to reduce vibration in flight.
Very exiting.
News will follow

teji,
Keep up the good work!
I'm waiting for all my stuff to arrive.
As soon as it's in I will hopefully be able to help here.
PS: What control board are you using for the 3 axis gimbal?

Here is First test about my 3 axis home made open source gimbal on my P2V
Please note, it's a proto ! only a proto ! This is his second day of life, and second flight ! ;-)
No settings yet !
the gimbal continue to vibrate, i have to eliminate theses vibrations.
but 3 axis stabilisation work fine. Has to fine tune P.I.D. settings & 7th channel to pich channels.

Soon I have all my parts to build the gimbal. DK, how did you attached the camera? Is it ony M5 plastic screws in to the camera holes, if so is that enough?
do you have an open source for the gimbal.... can you make the files available so I can print. What controller are you using?teji said:
Thanks
Great Job

I threaded the holes with a metal 5mm screw first, then used the 5mm nylon screws. They have survived one triple backwards and one double forwards flip without any damage or coming loose (or damaging the FC200). I guess you could use rubber tubing and 3mm screws (DronExpert style) but I really like the tight fit of the 5mm screws. I only use the two holes in the back, which seems to be sufficient. The bracket is bent out of a 2mm piece of aluminium, the shape is a bit tricky - trial and error.

Send me your mail via MP, I can provide you details
My gimbal is printed and waiting for my controller. What motors are you using? Can you send my a profile settings. Thanksteji said:
.All I really want is a **** good compact 3 axis gimble the present camera I can live with.Get building lads-lets's not get mad but get even.
When I wrote this,yesterday, I knew that resourceful V2 owners were out there and capable of producing some sort of answer to the V2+.
I didn't think it would happen quite so quick.
Lesson for you DJI not to get too smug or greedy.

Never 3d printed something. Where in the states can I get this printed? East coast preferred.....
Got myself a 3D printer, got sidetracked 
Example: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:356168
Just to let people know, it is an ongoing project, and you all better buy a 3D printer, 'cause it is the next big thing ;-)
Decided I wanted to print the gimbal instead of handcrafting it out of aluminium:

A little status update:
This is what it looks like, when I do my testing: http://youtu.be/ApPEFi2EdyM

Hi marcel,
Exciting news, we've received your payment and Peanuts Printing's Hub has
started printing your Order
On monday i have my 3d printed gimbal
Controller board and gimbal engines are in the house
I want to thank everyone who has helped developing

Please note that the design: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:363690 has changed:New versions 22/6/2014:
* Updated FC200 enclosure to make adjusting balance point easier
* Updated pitch arm to make adjusting balance point easier and there is now clearance 360.
* Updated baseplate to accommodate 360 clearance and nicer cabling.
* Updated BaseCam case to make board fit within confines of box. Easier access to cables. Reduced height by 1mm.
Note: IMU box is subject to change.
