[Ethan850]

hi,
i am looking into building a hexacopter, and i am looking for a good Gimbal. i had picked out the x cam 1 10 (link below) and i read the reviews and they said that it was a bad gimbal mout. they said it had lots of the jello affect. please help im not sure what gimbal i should get my budget for the gimbal is about 200$. i have a go pro hero + black edition and i would like to be able to control it with my dx5 spectrum transmitter. if possible i would also like it to be able to rotate and pan and tilt. thanks for you're help guys!!

You might be very hard pressed to have control of a three axis gimbal from a 5 channel transmitter that's primarily used for flight control. Then you have the problem of finding a 3 axis gimbal that fits your budget.

The Xcam gimbal is fine. And if will get jello if you do not balance your props and motors.
I have this gimbal on a “long duration” quad i am using for flying in higher winds and bad weather and it’s done a fine job.
