Anyone mounted a Walkera G-3D gimbal to a F450 frame?

Plumped for the Walkera after a few folk recommended it, but it comes with a frame fixing arrangement specifically designed for one of Walkera';s quads.
Has anyone fitted one to a F450 frame and if so, can you post some pics and guidance?

I used the quick release for my SJ4000 camera, mounted upside down:-

Thanks Andy. I found a few pointers on how to go about it. The rail mounts are quite popular and a couple of people have designed and 3-d printed solutions too.  All the other posts about the gimbal frightened the heck out of me. I';m feeling the pain already [emoji1]

Hi Steve, thanks for that. Rail mounts seem quite a popular way to mount a GoPro type camera to these frames. I';d love to see a pic showing your quad completely and how you mounted your flight battery to maintain the Centre of Gravity in the middle of the frame.Can you oblige? Thanks😀

Hopefully this will work....

Those rails are quite short on the Tarot. Anyway, I have ordered a set of rails. Now the wait begins!
