Default Best 3-Axis gimbal for gopro & pixhawk?

What's the best 3 axis gopro gimbal for a 550 size hex with a PIXHAWK f/c?

Quality is the most important factor to me. Ease of use and setup would be a close second.

Default Gimbal

I am using the DYS 3-axis GoPro gimbal with the Pixhawk. It works great and I am able to control the gimbal with open outputs on the Pixhawk.

Cool. I went with the Feiyu 3 axis. If it doesn't work out I'll probably be bugging you with PMs about yours.

Looks like that will be my next project then. Interfacing with mavlink opens up a ton of possibilities.
