Undoing the electronics in the head is simpler that it sounds, it's only about pulling gently the ribbon out of the connector on the back of the small plate that is found in the head....
Where it gets slightly more complicated though is that to have the gimbal still oriented normally (i.e. double tap and the camera faces forward) while the head is upside down, the small plate (and the mount around it obviously) has to be turned 180° compared to its normal position...no big deal except there are two little spots and a bit of an edge that need to be dremelled down to allow this. The pics posted by Sergio on the Facebook page show this better than I could explain with words.
If you don't grind those parts in the head, you can only do the mod by twisting the cable, and the gimbal will not face forward when double tapping. You can still use it fine but will need to triple-tap and engage the selfie mode to have the camera facing forward.
Personally I went for the grinding, nothing complicated, just go slow if you're using a dremel or drill so as not to damage the screw mounts that are just next to those spots that need to be ground down.
One final note, if you do the grinding mod, note that the marks on the head and the locking ring will not be aligned anymore...not a deal-breaker as far as I'm concerned.
Happy moding to all! : ) |
