Zenmuse Gimble is a high quality addition to a Go-Pro 3 Camera.

The Zenmuse Gimble for the DJI Phantom drone enables the camera view to be independent of the pitch and roll of the drone in flight.

A quality product that is well matched for the Go-Pro 3 camera.  The Go-Pro 3 camera only weights 73 grams.

Zenmuse Gimble is a camera stabilizer that keeps the field of view steady and level regardless on how steady the quad-copter is flying.

The 3 way axis Zenmuse Gimble effectiveness is most visible on a video footage, a steady level footage on the move, even when in the flight path there are turns, stops, starts and changes in the elevation. It maintains a steady level balance of view, even at times when the flight platform may be rolling and pitching at times by gusts of wind along the ocean shore line.

Zenmuse Gimble enables for a Professional quality video footage.

The difference between video footage made by the an experienced Aerial UAV user and photographer and inexperienced UAV flight controller photographer is enormous. It is visible in the camera field of view, and any motions along the flight path. The Zenmuse Gimble won’t remove erratic flying, due to lack of visualization and control of the intended flight path, there has to be a well thought out plan in advance for the flight path, so that it captures the landscape features below. The core basics is a well thought out flight path, including the ascending and descending field of view. After experience and a well thought out plan is established, to bring out the most effective features and contours of the landscape, to capture and maximize the visual affect, that’s when the Zenmuse Gimble stardust starts to sparkle, and to do it’s magic on the live video stream.
