Here is the email I received from DJI about their multi axis gimbal for the P2V on 1/18/2014. I couldn't wait so I jumped on the RP bandwagon. Also the expandability and portability of the RP gimbal is worth every penny.

"...about the multi axis thing, we are trying to make it and pls pay attention to our website news."

Funny, on the new DJI website I can't seem to find the "news" tab that used to be present.

Hi all !

I'm a newbie from Switzerland. I've been reading the forum since a while, no Phantom in my toy box yet but I'm planing to get one soon, with a gimbal of course. For now I'm leaning towards Rotopixel but as there is no hurry I may wait and see a little longer, until the best solution is on the market.

Also just found this, the "Stubilizer" (Sorry, can't embed the video) : http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/04/stub ... steadicam/

It's a Kikstarter (crowd funding) gimbal project for "general use" (helmet, dashboard etc) for GoPro. Could this be mounted on a Phantom ?

At least this new thing shows that gimbals get popular and that many companies are jumping in the bandwagon

My guess is that it's probably too heavy and too bulky for something like the phantom.

So many different go pro options why bother trying to retrofit it?

 

[Helveticus]

Right, it looks heavy, even more with the batteries... I would certainly rather get a Rotopixel

But, if successfully hacked to fit on a Phantom and still working when unattached, it could become a "dual use" alternative for the budget minded GoPro owner :?

Hello all :

just to stay focused on the gimbal issue, I've read on the French forum dedicated to DJI that a new gimbal "by DJI" for the P2V was on its way, more news coming in two weeks.

The one who posted this info is the forum admin and creator and seems to know what he is talking about (he gave many information, always correct, in advance thanks to contact at DJI...)

For those who read French :

Thinking about cancelling my order of the Rotorpixel #411 and waiting a little...

I read the same thing yesterday posted by someone who had been in contact with DJI - I was surprised at the time that it did not attract more comment - cannot find it now !

Is it a gimbal or a new vision. I was going to order a vision today since they have battery promo going on.
Now I don't know what to do. If its jus a retro fit gimbal I woul order the vision. But if it's a whole new phantom I'd wat.

 

[pyrophantom]

I suppose a stand alone gimbal for the vision would make sense as DJI would have to try and keep revenue coming in from existing P2V owners wanting to upgrade, whilst also not fleecing them for a P3V because it has a nice new 3 axis gimbal, which could be prohibitively expensive for a lot of people.

Interesting to see where they go with this one.

 

[Pull_Up]

Mind you there are probably some Phantom 1 guys who feel fleeced because they can't take advantage of the swanky new battery technology DJI have come up with without buying a whole new aircraft...

 

[pyrophantom]

Yes there is that way of making people spend more money, but can be a dodgy strategy. Just seems that the lack of a gimbal for P2V then all of a sudden there are 3 and possibly a DJI one in the pipeline or a new aircraft entirely.

 

[iResq]

Probably most of the p2v owners are quite content. I would imagine that the market for a 2 and 3 axis gimble is limited, which is why Keri going for a more universal approach. I would suspect DJI would not offer one if its part of a new bird.

Will be nice to see some footage and comments coming in soon hopefully by the looks of things.

We're nearly on page 150 of this thread... Maybe we should start a new thread, now that it's finally arrived, to discuss the RP gimbal itself... This thread is 50% speculation, 20% aggravation, 20% actual info and 10% about better antennas :lol:

Yes, lets discuss Unicorns!

Mythical creatures. Everybody wants one. Nobody has ever actually seen one in the flesh. Some people believe they exist...

Don't know why I came to think of unicorns...
