Naza lite on a quad vs Vbar on a Heli

[helimadness]

I guess Im not trying to compare the FC to a heli but just more curious the difference.

The more I look into it the more I am keen on just a camera platform. Looking at Gimbals the 3 axis seems to be leaps ahead of a 2 axis. The Zenmuse look like fairly cool bits of kit. Sure you pay but looks like its well worth the money. Alexmos Basecam controllers seem to be fairly popular around here. Are they any good?

So think leaning towards a 550 hex with Naza lite. Get that up an running learn how to fly and setup then slowly upgrade to a gimbal I think it the way im going.

The Naza Lite is not compatible with the zenmuses (iirc). So you need at least a Naza 2 if you want to keep that upgrade path open.

The Alexmos controllers work extremely well - I'd say, they are industry standard now - even for larger installations - but they need proper setting up.

But if you use a brushless gimbal then wont you need a separate FC for the gimbal that is brushless compatible. ? Or do the Naza 2 handle both ?

the Zenmuse is controlled thorugh the naza (though it has it's own built in controller) so you need to get a compatible flight controller.
Alexmos based gimbals work completely independed of the flight controller.

Here is the zenmuse H3-2D compaitbility list:
Compatible With DJI Flight Control Systems
The H3-2D gimbal is compatible with DJI flight control systems, it can adjust the roll and pitch angle according to the accurate control of the Gimbal feedback and communicate with the MC in real-time.

It supports WooKong-M, NAZA-M V1, NAZA-M V2, Phantom;
It will support Ace One, WooKong-H, NAZA-H;
It doesn't support NAZA-M LITE.
Notice: NAZA-M V1 and Phantom users need the PMU of NAZA-M V2.
