Was tested on a DJI Phantom 1.1.1 with a GoPro HD Hero 3+ Silver Edition (without FPV).
Negatives:
The Gimbal comes without detailed instructions, who (like me) has never worked in the model, a video should look on Youtube. (The device then closed so no problem).
Unfortunately, there can only be secured with a screw, otherwise the battery door not quite absorbed. Have the Gimbal then also attached to the rear (camera looking toward the status LED), so is the focus somewhat central.
The adjusting screws for setting the zero positions are with the supplied plastic screwdriver to adjust only very bad, one must not make too often but luckily.
At the GoPro mount always 2 screws need to be resolved in order to take the camera out. As these are very small, they are quickly lost. Unfortunately, one must always make, since otherwise neither the SD card gets, still can connect a cable. (Whether or FPV so that is possible, I do not know.)
** Supplement 19:11:14 **
If one applies the other way around GoPro (on the head), the connections are on the free side, FPV should be no problem. However, the landing gear is then seen in the Camera Wide mode.

In stronger winds "flutters" but the Gimbal something is, to my knowledge, a general Gimbalproblem.
Positive:
The stabilization does best work, videos are nice and soft. Nachstabilisieren must be only in stronger winds.
The vibration dampers function as expected. Since these are only clamped, I still pushed through two cable ties to secure them. However, my worries were unfounded, those things also hold in high winds and rapid flights well.
The swivel range is a good size, even pans down-back are possible (maximum pivot range, and pan speed can be set in the software Nazam).
By mounting the lens of GoPro is exactly centered below the Phantom. This part of the Quadrocopter are less often in the image.
One can Gimbal without Nazam configuration use (Simply the power cable disconnect), but the tendency must adjust to one of the screws then ever.
Conclusion:
I have occupied myself in advance much with gimbal point and now states that this favorable Gimbal need not hide from expensive competitors. Only the attachment provides for me is a point of criticism, as this is relatively complicated with a screw and generally. However, he is not well designed for the Phantom.
He does exactly what he should and to my complete satisfaction.
4 of 5 stars because it is associated with more effort than necessary.
