Title: Suitable undercarriage which gimbal will attach to for a GoPro
Post by: JezUK1 on May 08, 2013, 12:36:58 PM
I've decided the undercarriage I currently have is far too heavy as it is killing my flight time even with bigger batteries. Can anyone suggest a decent undercarriage which is lightweight and can hold a gimbal? I have a DJI450 and a GoPro3.

If any of you have a similar setup I'd be very interested in what you use and your flight times. By the time I get up there it's more or less time to come down again it's absolutely ridiculous!

Unless I upgrade the motors? Would that help or would that simply add to my problem. I currently have the 10 size rotorblades on.

Before you ask, pricing will be up there as soon as I have it.

All the best

I chose this one as its the lightest I could find - a fair price and it works extremely well.
