Hey Sean, look into the cheap brushless gimbals that are out right now which can be mounted to the phantom. A friend of mine has one on his phantom and the video is very clean and stable.. it really turns the phantom into a near professional video tool.

Sean,

You're probably "on this" already, but there's a lot of info on the web re. gimbals for quads. DJI's new offering specifically for the Phantom, the "Zenmuse", integrates nicely, but is getting spotty reviews in terms of reliability and costs 3 times as much as a Tarot and others. I'm still on the fence trying to figure out which way to go on this.

I do have all the stuff inbound for FPV though.
