Aeroxcraft Camera gimbal DJI F550

Does anyone know if it is ok to put something like the Sony NEX-5 on the DJI F550 Naza+GPS. I'm thinking of getting the Aeroxcraft camera gimbal and landing gear so I can haul the NEX-5. Is this camera too big for the F550 or would it haul it? I know Aeroxcraft makes a gimbal for the GoPro, but that they also make the larger gimbal for the NEX-5.

I've asked similar questions in the past but this I don't think I've specifically asked if the stock DJI F550 should haul a camera the size of the NEX-5.

It should be ok with the 16mm pancake but it is probably at the limits of the ability of the stock 550 to give you a steady camera platform. My 550 is fitted with the Aerocraft landing gear, GoPro gimbal, 9x5 props and 5000 mAh 4S and I wouldn't want it any heavier otherwise slow movements are too hard to achieve as the effective throttle range is reduced.
Also the gimbal is a direct control type so it doesn't offer very stable movement and there's still noticeable gimbal movement even with the latest firmware, recommended servos and recommended separate BEC.

@ast0b0y,

Ok, this is what I thought. Sounds like you and I have a pretty similar setup, except I'm using the Quad Frame landing gear and the matching gimbal.
