Hello all, this is my first post here after a period of lurking around
I have a Sony RX100 mounted on a Phantom 2. The RX100 is one of the best small-compacts, and it's light enough for the Phantom to carry.
I purchased a mount from dronexpert in Netherlands. It's not a gimbal, just two plastic plates with some electronics and servos inside. It feeds live video from the camera to a monitor clamped on the DJI remote, and I can fire the shutter with a flip of the S2 switch. Tilting the camera is possible from 0 to 90 degrees.
This works great, but as somebody mentioned high frequency vibrations can be a problem, and cause blurred photos. I usually take 5-6 photos when I have placed the Phantom in position, and at least one of them is always sharp. I have now mounted foam tubes on the landing gear too see if it can reduce vibrations.
Take-off weight with the RX100 and the mounting plate is exactly 1385 grams - a little bit on the heavy side. But flying is stable, no problem. However the heavy load drains the batteries. 10-12 minutes probably all I get.
Here are some examples of my photos with this setup:
