Easy Gimbal Swap! (Simple!)

[Drone Master]

I can only imagine what DJI’s so called fee would be to do this.
I can see the trading of gimbals beginning soon!

That’s cool.

A Flir option would be remarkable.

I really hope someone sells the M2Pro and M2Zoom camera assemblies in a few months. Would be awesome to be able to swap cameras!

 

[Lapeer20m]

Also would be interesting to see how flight time is affected by not having a camera.

Not that mavic without a camera makes much sense, but would just be interesting to see the numbers.

So does the software/firmware automatically detect the camera installed to provide the proper camera options?

I had mentioned that in another thread. Maybe that is what the fee is for by DJI. Hopefully it won’t need any additional firmware. I guess we will soon find out.

I will be selling them much sooner than that, and do the gimbal swaps for customers as well.

Do you know how the Mavic or Go 4 detects a camera change?

Its based on the gimbal firmware, just like the Inspire series does.

Great information, thank you.

Great!

Wow surprisingly easy. Can't wait to see what other types of camera are released in the future. With the enterprise event coming up, I wonder if we'll see any others, or even the Mavic Enterprise model that was leaked last month.

Holy $650. That is quite expensive.

Yes but it's a much better camera than even the Phantom 4 pro has. The P4P Gimbal still sells for $599 new

One more thing, in photography, much of the time, quality lenses go for more than the cost of the camera body. In this case, the gimbal is only half the cost of the drone.

For sure - I guess the hasselblad lens/processor with the 1 inch sony sensor is likely a lot more expensive than the zoom version. Good thing I have the pro

The M2P drone alone goes for $200 more, and it's all in the gimbal/lens. Otherwise, the drones are identical.

Thats a good question, Mossiback. If the firmware is different between the Mavic Zoom and the Mavic 2 pro then there might be problems

Impressive
