How to mount an external camera on a Phantom 2 ?

[MiguelVarela]

Hi,

I'm thinking of buying the Phantom 2 and use a compact camera since the Gopro or the built in cameras from DJI have all too wide angles and rolling shutters.
I pretend to take advantage of the DJI phantom 2 capability to have pre set up flight paths.

Problem is I can't find any gibles for other cameras besides the GoPro. All gibles models on the DJI website are for the GoPro or for older DJI copter models.
How are you guys doing it to use the phantom 2 and other cameras besides the GoPro?

Is there any other cheap equipment combination beside this one?

Are you using a live view of the flight  as well? is this important?
I'm planning to take photos at about 30 meters high as I need a good elevation resolution around 10cm accuracy.

Thanks!

if you take only vertical photos, a piece of foam and a few good quality rubber bands can do the job.
Try different densities of foam (some can better filter vibrations )

Like Nadar said, get some foam and some tape or rubber bands, strap it on, and you're good to go.   
You'll probably have better luck and a more detailed answer asking this question on a UAV/phantom forum.

I am using an Phantom FC 40 and a gopro Hero 3+ just for fun purpose. For measurements i use a Octokopter.
I suggest to use a Phantom 2+ (at 5,8 GHZ), than you can use the Gopro at 2,4 GHZ. Just try a simple gimbal or using the gopro parts.

Thanks!

Id seriously first investigate 3dr IRIS+ . I have one and am part of the forum.

The support is better, and the options are more flexible and less expensive.

I have my sony rx100M3 or Canon S100 under it. Has plenty of power.

I sell a number of different mounting options for the Phantom 2:
