Tarot's 2-axis brushless gimbal for Gopro, cheap.

by imperialcapital_AI | July 2, 2013 | (0) Posted in Reviews

Just got the 2-axis brushless gimbal for Gopro from Tarot. It's RMB 899, about US$147. 

 

The two brushless motors and are pre-assembled. 

 

The gyro is already installed on the Gopro holder. This is the back side of the holder.

 

This is the front side.

 

The boards to hang the gimble to the aircraft.

 

259.30g is the total weight including the Gopro hero 3.

 

Just connect everything and plug in a 11.1v battery, then it works!

 

Drilled 4 small holes on the battery/camera board and use 4 screws to hang the gimbal below.

Tested on my tricopter:

Would you mind sharing what website you ordered from? I can't seem to find the whole kit anywhere.

But I don't know whether they ship outside of China. You may ask your local hobby shop who deals with Tarot.

I like this gimbal, really clean and simple, lightweight and it seems to be quite sturdy. Where can this be purchased? How much? The link above says 899 yuan which is $150? Does that include board + motors + frame?

I found that foxtechFPV has it. They are a pretty popular website. I think they are based in China but they ship to US. Here is the link : http://www.foxtechfpv.com/gopro-twoaxis-brushless-gimbalwith-gyro-p-1096.html

If you mount the battery tray on top, then your gimbal will be higher and your landing gear can become shorter.
