Can anyone recommend a gimbal for the Black Magic Micro which I want to install under my Tarot 680 Pro Hex? Powered with DJI E800 kit, DJI Naza M V2 with GPS, datalink, OSD and Immersion Video Transmitter. Would love something which could tie into Naza FC and OSD but not a deal breaker. Inspire has been great but need something a little more expandable.

I haven't been able to find much, please let me know if you do find a better solution. We have a 680 frame as well.

Check out the new Inspire 1 Pro. I think that will suit your needs nicely.

The pro is nice but I want the hex setup and more camera flexibility  than the X5R currently offers.

Besides my current Inspire with X3 has its place where it performs very well.

And this new hex flys so damn nice!

well, easiair05, I don't recommend you to pun naza on to the heavy and expensive hardware.  Simply saying the you don't want to fly your 680 with 2000+USD  camera with Phantom 2 controller. So for this kit i'd recommend you A2. And gimbal for Balckmagic  is here: http://www.dji.com/product/zenmuse-z15-bmpcc

Tim,

and here's a silly question:
can we use the X5 / X5R camera on a S900 or S1000 set up?

tks

@rodger I personally have the Inspire Pro and don't feel the same way. It is an amazing tool, but it is nice to have a bird that isn't so reliant on DJI to stay operable. Something as small as a bug in the firmware can ground your Inspire quite easily. This wouldn't ever happen to his hex, and he would be able to repair/replace any parts in the field. With an Inspire, you can swap out all the parts you want but if it's bricked its bricked. We now have the Inspire Pro & an additional Inspire 1 as a backup... Looking back, I should have just bought an Alta.

Tim,

and here's a silly question:

Hi Lino, no right now it is not possible to use X5/X5R cameras on other platforms

Exactly taylorellis1, The hex doesn't fail due to the firmware issues which is why we went this way. Two jobs I went on I had to scrap due to firmware issues once we were on sight (lost video feed, no connection issues) so I needed a backup. Plus I'm not at the mercy of the propriety issues of the Inspire. Don't get me wrong I love the Inspire but not impressed with the pro model camera for the cost. The A2 will be the next upgrade but the M has never failed me, Tim,  I think the gimbal you suggest is for the pocket cam model. The micro is black magic's newest lightweight cinema camera and different body style. I will check it out though thanks.
