I'm wondering if I can use the mavic/phantom/.. camera+gimbal for my project.
For this purpose, I need to be able to capture the image from the camera so is the protocol open to use?
Also how is the interface for the gimbal?

I think I was not clear here, I mean gimbal+camera as stand-alone (with out the quad itself)

Take the props OFF........setup for your shots holding the aircraft.   The stabilization is always ON as long as you have the TX/RC and iPad/device ON to see the shot being observed.

Good luck.

Hello there amin67rgmail.com. Thank you for reaching out and for the inquiry. For the DJI Mavic Air, you may try using the PolarPro Katana Mavic Air Cinema Grip System. The Katana Grip allows the Mavic Air to be utilized for on-the-ground shots. Even though difficult environments, no-fly zones, indoors, and crowded areas may limit the ability to take off, the Katana Grip makes it possible to use the Mavic Air's camera and three-axis gimbal as a precise handheld camera. A monitor mount ensures perfect framing of shots to help create professional-quality footage. From action sports follow-cams to small video productions, the creative possibilities the Katana Grip are only limited by the filmmaker's imagination. For reference I will post a link where in you can learn more about the PolarPro Katana Mavic Air Cinema Grip System. Thank you.

Certainly yes, but you'll have to cannibalize the bird or get all the necessary components. The camera+gimbal itself will not do you any good. You'll need the image processor/recorder hardware, antennas to communicate with RC+video monitor and all related wiring. It is more complicated than you think...
