Upward Facing Gimbal

[JamesRC]

Hi Guys,

I wanted to do some indoor (ceiling) imaging, and so require my camera facing upwards. I've been trying to find a gimbal that would work for this but so far have been unsuccessful. For reference, I have a custom drone that I can mount stuff on top. Are there any gimbals out there that I can mount on top of my drone? And are there any cameras you guys could recommend for such a gimbal? Thanks in advance!

Whats your budget?
The Freefly Alta (Skyview) will do what you are after ALTA Camera Drone with Folding Carbon Booms by Freefly

Again, depending on budget...

My budget for the entire drone + gimbal + camera is $5k USD. I wouldn't need to mount my 5D DSLR on it, so the Freefly is overkill. Images and 720p video is fine for me. I was thinking more of a mount that I could buy and attach to one of my self-built drones. The Freefly does look cool!

Hmm, what's the price of the Exom? Might just be the cheaper option.

I just searched their site. I don't believe they have upward facing gimbals? Lots of options though!

Not sure but I believe about 4-5x your budget...

Just been doing a shoot with one these past couple of days, it's a really great machine. Only thing I have against it right now is... their hard 400ft altitude limitation, and even more so the fact that they do not mention it anywhere. Unacceptable for a machine of this price. Did cause us unexpected trouble on the shoot.
