Gimbal wheel modification

Where did you get the stick?

Great mod mate!!

Out of interest, is there a setting to slow down the speed of this control? I always seem to heavy handed and harsh!

Then it's there (I have the French version) you can set up 0 to 30 and another set up 0 to 50. Presume it's the speed and the sensibility of the wheel.

where'd you get the stick or what should i google? that looks very good,i struggle with the wheel no matter what settings i use.
 
Just checked some old P3 sticks they are all female, when you did the mod did you have to adapt the stick by adding a threaded rod into the wheel? Or do you have a source to buy them somewhere?

I would like to do this mod.

I've drilled a 2mm hole all through the stick and putted a M2 bolt through this hole into the gimbal wheel.
You can see this in the picture above.
 
That's great! A bugbear of mine has been how poor the human factors element of the gimbal is. I also wish they'd changed the axis, from the "x" (side-to-side), to "y" (up-down). Given how critical the gimbal is to the core reason most people buy a Mavic – to take great images – its a painful oversight.
