Bigger than a GoPro on F550?

I';ve been doing a fair amount of filming recently with my F550 which currently has a GoPro Hero 4 on it.
Now don';t get me wrong, I love GoPro';s and for a lot of the stuff I';m currently doing it does a good enough job.
However, I am starting to get frustrated by its limitations, particularly with regards to handling lower light without being grainier than a beach in Fiji.

What I want to know is, without major alterations to my hex (which is currently flying using the DJI E310 system) and 1050 Graupner EProps, is it possible for me to fit it with a gimbal to take something beefier such as a BM Cinema pocket or GH4?

It depends on your AUW.  You will invariably lose flight time when adding more weight.

I don';t know the weight of the GH4, but I reckon it will be a fair bit chunkier than a GoPro.  Then add the gimbal to it.

What';s your current AUW and LiPo?

I would imagine you';d struggle to carry a gh4 with its gimbal on there, you';re looking at pretty much 2kg for the lot, maybe more when you add the bits to control it.
The black Magic setup is about 1.5kg so more doable certainly but probably still on the sluggish side for a 550.
Hope that helps

Thanks guys, I think this is just too much to ask of my poor little 550 to be honest.
Will have to start saving those pennies
