This GPS drone may currently be the lowest priced GPS quadcopter with an included gimbal. It's also extremely fast. Find it here you can find the SJCam SJ5000X Elite Camera here here is SJCam's online shop for cameras and accessories very capable quadcopter has actually been available for a couple years now. But only recently has its price dropped dramatically.
Pro's
- Low price GPS quadcopter that comes with an included stabilized gimbal. Priced similar to the CX-20, 3D X8, and X380.
- Includes GPS position hold, altitude hold, headless mode, return to home/landing, and gimbal tilt control.
- Does not drop from the sky.Slowly descends to a landing when battery power gets low.
- Very fast quadcopter in altitude hold mode. Also extremely fast return to home.
Con's
- Gimbal camera mount is sized for GoPros. Other cameras can fit, but may require some slight modifications of the mount to hold them securely.
- It seems to have an electronic fence set at about 200 meters. You see me bump into it at 11:59, from which I couldn't proceed any further outward. Believe this can be modified to allow further distance, but am unsure how to do such at the moment.
- Requires FAA registration.

It seems like a really good model and the price is unbelievable! :) Thanks for the review! I can't imagine making aerial shoots without a good gimbal... The videos would be all jelloish and useless. Therefore, you need to get more familiar with gimbal models and choose the right one for what you need.
