The Ronin-m would absolutely fit a DJI S1000. There are four female threads below the "handlebar quick release" setup that can adapt to any mounting plate depending on your setup.

Ronin-m was unboxed, test balanced, mounted, but never flown. We switched to FF gimbal systems and no longer need it as backup. Comes with extra battery, lens support, tilt axis extension, and rail system included. $1250 Thanks for looking!

A new Fox show, APB uses a modified Inspire as part of the on screen production. Sometimes CGI, sometimes attached to a long pole where clearances were prohibitive, but nifty seeing drone technology implemented.

I know the feeling. I always wanted a pilot license so the decision was a little simpler. $5k does buy a full set of batteries for a rig or a lot of other production gear. Have you considered the option of working with a 333 holding company and/or licensed pilots you are comfortable with until...

Does your livelihood depend on it? If so, I'd continue the course. I'd expect the FAA to grandfather the current process into whatever they come up with. However, there is no sure date the FAA will release the new rules or that all current 333 holders won't have to go through the new process...

A few early customer reviews reported the camera runs hot when recording internal 4k. "max record time of 18 min in cool basement" Everything else is pure praise.

Email reply concerning the gimbal and battery.

I appreciate the notes of caution and tip from Bartman and deluge2. I'm not "banking" on anything, just excited to see how these new products perform! @deulge2 - I have a pre-order from B&H. Didn't know about the "extra" battery, is it applicable dealer wide? Thanks! Edit - I have a pending...

According to Best Buy's website the Solo will be in stores and on doorsteps June 8th. I hope the gimbal will be ready for a trip I have planned for early July.

Apparently Chimps are all 3DR after the Solo campaign. Not so much for DJI. :p http://i.imgur.com/ivu7txP.gifv (original youtube video) Silly drone operator flying too close gets what was coming. Luckily no Chimps were hurt.
