Here is some test footage shot on my new quadcopter (DJI Phantom1). Most of the beginning shots were pre-gimbal as you can tell from the shaking and jello effects. Later when you see the propellers, I had installed the motion stabilizing gimbal. I left the props in the shot so I could judge how it was handling the gusty conditions. I'm quite happy with it. Even in gusty winds flying at full speed, the gimbal did a decent job evening out the shots. Not bad for a $100 add-on. All shot on a go-pro 3.
If you want to scare the neighbors just get one and tell everyone you have a drone lol.
