Using 3rd Party gimbals on a Solo?

With the Sony camera on this gimbal how is the balance it looks like it will throw the Solo off since it's farther forward?
Also, what is the difference in weight of the Sony compared to a GoPro Hero 4 Black?

Nope its counterbalanced using weights and the PIDS are spot on takes Silky smooth video...The Solo has no problem with this payload no heavier than a regular 3DR-Gimbal/Gopro setup

Many Thank !

Actually you can get full control with a Firefly 8s you can take pictures and record video using pwm output channel 6, 7 or 8 and solex and the remote control cable

When you say full control what exactly do you mean? This video showed none of that only a stabilized image, and no info at all on youtube, is this your setup?

The holy grail of an after maket gimbal would be Plug and Play for newer style cameras such as the firefly etc. and SmartShot capability.

Nothing beats the simplicity of the Original 3DR Gimbal and a GoPro setup...For the SOLO Platform...Although they are somewhat fragile, scarce and super expensive now?

A couple of ways one would be photo intervals set at a specific time sequence or the sony has WiFi and a live view remote wrist controller, I know wifi is not recommended to have turned on but I have used it with no issues.. there is also a remote that you could hack to work with PWM signals......sony remote.jpg
