HaHaHa!  Like it, Like it!

I';m done gimbaling for a while Jim, but they do seem a good GoPro solution.  I have yet to enter the world of the 3 axis!!

Thats a great price for the uk

I know, I must admit i';m tempted.

They are very good. But why oh why do the designers insist on putting the motors on the right,   I end up putting the camera in upside down and inverting it so I can get to the ports on the right.

I keep wondering this as well. Pain in the Ass having to de mount the camera each time you want to down load.

Must admit I';d considered mounting the gopro upside down as well.

Hi all,

Has anybody used one of these yet? If so, how do they perform?

I';m about to press the ';buy it now'; button as it looks like just the thing I need :-)

The tarot 2d is good but I';m getting fed up with the fishtail camera shots that seem unavoidable with a smaller form factor quad.

Can';t seem to find any Zenmuse 3d in the UK, plus I';m thinking that this is likely to be overpriced as is the Zen 2D vs the 2D Tarot. IMHO the Tarot is as good or even better for 1/2 the price. (Despite the ';naked'; cables etc)

With follow-me on yaw retracts aren';t essential.

[QuadBod]

But why oh why do the designers insist on putting the motors on the right,   

I think the logic is that it allows the lens to be kept at the centre of rotation while maintaining a compact form-factor.

I end up putting the camera in upside down and inverting it so I can get to the ports on the right.

On a Tarot-2D You can quite easily pop the SD card in and out, and a 90 degree USB cable fits with a bit of fiddling.

I';d be interested to hear from anyone that has had one of these for a while and how they find it ???

[mikim]

Yes me too. Think I';m just going to jump in and take the risk... Looks good enough. :-)

[al-xg]

I have one, haven';t fully set it up yet though. Seems to work pretty well but some adjustment is probably needed to avoid wobbles at extreme angles.

Great.. Where did you get yours?

So would I - I have one on back-order at HK!

[Theflyingfreak]

Have pressed the button on one today, should be here tomorrow hopefully  ::)

has anyone mounted it on a 450 and if so any comments on best way to mount it / how far forward to put it, I think I#ve got to drill some holes in the bottom plate to fit it on ??

Hi, where have you ordered yours from please? I';m seriously considering one of these but still looking round for the best price.

Cheers,

Andy.

[Theflyingfreak]

ashutchy,
I ordered it from RC legends http://www.rclegends.co.uk/dys-smart3.html mainly because I felt the guys were so helpful that if you had a problem you';d probably get good backup and I';ve heard at least 4 / 5 cases of people ordering the cheapest they could find on E-Bay and being sent rubbish copies that were useless and decided it just wasn';t worth the risk!!

[ashutchy]

Many thanks for that and yes, I';m inclined to agree. For what I could potentially save buying from eBay it';s just isn';t worth the risk.
