There are quite a few starting with the Cinestar Radian, Photohigher Skyline, Hover Fly gimbal controller all the way to the Tarot 3 axis controller and you can also use the Open Pilot CC or CC3D as a stand alone 3 axis gimbal controller. Then you have the brushless gimbal motor controller recently from Alexmos and Martinez.

You indeed get very bad vibrations on the video.
It can be due to two opposite factors:
-Or you need then to increase D term on the roll gimbal axis (and eventually roll motor power)
-Or just the opposite : you have increased too much D on the roll axis and it generates this vibration on the roll axis (and eventually too much power on the roll motor).
If you want an idea of a pretty well tuned brushless gimbal that costs less than 200€ for a NEX5 , look here :
http://kamkop.de/gimbals/standard/7/brushless-gimbal-s?c=7 . Tested results here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw7Z-iPGiKQ
 
In your X8 configuration of your model, what motors and prop size do you intend to use (and what ESC size ?), for what total AUW ?

with gimbal lock when he was trying to use APM to stabilize a camera. No
one on the diydrones forum was able to help him, so he contacted me
directly. Here is his

=== Alex Moss ===
http://www.basecamelectronics.com
AlexMos is planning a 3rd axis add-on board -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttKQ1GsSX64
Anyone know how will the GUI/config utility of the VR Gimbal board will compare to the latest from AlexMos..
https://vimeo.com/64351956
Software seems to be the biggest difference at the moment between the AlexMos' controller and the open source Martinez one. There seems to be very limited documentation or development happening with the Martinez variety, even though RCTimer, iFlight and many others now have cloned versions of their own.
Side note: looks like iFlight just released a series of brushless gimbals too -> http://www.funtobuyonline.com/multi-rotors-parts/camera-mount-gimba...

Steve: Arducopter's current gimbal stabilization routine also does not let you configure PIDs or enable rate based control. It only has most basic of options to set angle and output range. Flight controllers like Wookong, OpenPilot, and Hoverfly would be a better better comparison for servo controllers And dedicated gimbal control boards like Radian, Tarot ZYX, Skyline, Hoverfly's and Smoooth should outperform most flight controllers. APM never really made it to the party.

Combine this design with Inverted_v-tail#Spyplanes, by modding it to fit inside the Bats frame. Bats frame is used because it lands on grass fields autonomously and protects the camera payload using a fiber canopy that snaps over the camera during landing/take-off(Uav catapult
Build high power InfraRedLeds or laser leds(add laser dispersion lenses) into frame, for IR illumination of a night target for a low lux astronomy camera like the Watec 0.003(google ebay) if a thermal camera is to expensive for the application. 
http://www.leteckafotografie.com/aerialvideo/plane_eye.htm
This little plane is very powerful. Adding a
light cradle camera to it with a little video
transmitter makes it ideal for monitoring
what is happening on the ground. Have
you ever get yourself in a traffic jam? I
guess a lot of us always wonder where
the line of cars ends. I would take this
video plane from my trunk and within 5
minutes see. I can imagine hundreds of
applications where this handy model
plane would find itself useful. It is small,
light, wind proved and soft (if it is
accidentally going to hit a person). I
mean I would not like this to happen - this
plane could be pretty fast. Speed of 160
km per hour is not a problem for our set-
up. There are tuned set-ups on the web
where this plane can reach speed of 240kph.

When using KX191 colour and night mode CCD camera on little
planes, I noticed that each time the camera is pointed sideways, the
large camera body works like a rudder and the plane begins to steer.
I made this carbon fiber case to house the camera in it. The unwanted
steering stopped. Also the aerodynamics is better. There is also video
to see how it works on FunJet in flight.
The gimbal with servos and KX 191 camera, weights 100 grams.

http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/gimball-3d-printed-diy-gimbal-with-closed-hull-part1-design I think the guys over at SurVoyer 
diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/laser-rangefinder-assisted-landings-on-our-survoyeur-mk-ii-uav have the right idea about making a gimbal wind resistant. It's inline with the fuselage. In my opinion, and from what I've used so far with gimbals, is that wind is hard to overcome. This on a copter is a no brainer, but hanging on the front of a plane... I'd love to see some video first. Very good design and look by the way.
