This simple but effective mod allows you to fit a Walkera G2D gimbal to the stock camera mount fitting beneath the battery.
Allows for quick and easy fitting and removal of the gimbal.
I used this clip to secure my Akaso EK700 camera .... https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1795933
And this is the landing gear I use ..... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06VV21JYF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I had to drill the landing gear screw holes a bit wider as they didn't quite line up with the Bugs 3.
First test with the gimbal fitted ..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKtRV4nx8h4&feature=youtu.be
Gimbal mount adapter :
Fix the adapter to the gimbal mounting plate with 2 screws and nuts (see pictures above).
Gimbal power :
I used the balance port from the stock battery to power the gimbal.
Remove the female connector and middle wire from a 2s lipo balance expansion cable and splice it to the cable with the 2 pin female connector that comes with the gimbal.
(Make sure to splice the red wire to red and black to black)
This is the cable I used ..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lipo-Balance-Extension-Charger-Cable-Lead-2s-JST-XH-2-cell-7-4V/230786425855?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
