I've put together a home-made mount for my T600. This mount attaches under the existing skids and is full self-contained with its own receiver/batter/downlink.

Tilt by servo, shutter by servo and left/right back stabilization by gravity and a tension-bolt.
We are doing basic commercial stills with this. We had ordered AskmanAP's pan 'n tilt 50-size mount this morning. This home-made one will be the spare...
We have had a request to video in a spiral motion around a building site and sweeping sideways with a front-facing camera while possible, is differcult (camera won't stay level). That is where a 360 mount will be great. While I could modify my mount, inventing takes many hours I simply don't have any more.

Finally a day without rain and storm..

Surprisingly difficult to fly slow/hover at high altitude..
Camera (Ixus 40) was set to continuous shooting, on/off controlled with servo..

Some still photos attached..
No editing done except resize.
