Overview
About Tarot T-3D IV 3-Axis GoPro Gimbal.
The Tarot T-3D IV (model TL3T02) is a compact 3-axis brushless gimbal built specifically to carry the GoPro Hero4 Session-class action camera on multirotors, fixed-wing platforms and other RC aircraft. It uses three brushless motors driven by a built-in IMU control module and a dedicated servo-drive board, which together sense and counteract pitch, roll and yaw motion in real time. The result is smooth, jello-free footage even when the airframe is vibrating, banking or fighting wind, with quoted attitude-control accuracy of about plus or minus 0.02 degrees.
Mechanically the unit is a lightweight metal-and-composite frame that mounts the camera between dual roll and pan arms, keeping the lens level while the aircraft maneuvers. It supports two operating modes: Pan Follow (PF), where the camera smoothly tracks the heading of the aircraft, and First Person View (FPV) mode, which locks the camera to follow flight attitude for an immersive pilot's-eye view. The gimbal runs directly from a 3S to 6S LiPo and can be commanded over standard receiver channels or paired with Tarot's ZYX-M flight controller.
It is aimed at FPV and aerial-video builders, mapping and inspection hobbyists, and integrators assembling camera drones around a Session-form-factor camera who want stabilized output without the bulk and weight of a larger handle-style gimbal.
Key features
Why it stands out.
High attitude-control accuracy of about plus or minus 0.02 degrees keeps the horizon level during aggressive flight
Pan Follow and FPV modes let you switch between smooth tracking shots and immersive pilot-view framing
Lightweight ~153 g metal frame minimizes payload penalty so it suits compact multirotors and wings
Wide 3S-6S LiPo input and ZYX-M flight-controller compatibility simplify integration into existing builds

Buying guide
How to choose.
Confirm camera fit before buying: the T-3D IV is dimensioned for the GoPro Hero4 Session form factor. If you run a full-size Hero or a newer larger GoPro, choose a different Tarot mount (for example the T4-3D family) instead, because the cradle geometry and balance are specific to the Session shape.
Match it to your power and control system. The gimbal accepts a wide 3S-6S input, so it works on most multirotor packs, but plan for clean power and confirm whether you will command it via spare receiver channels or through a Tarot ZYX-M flight controller. Builders wanting integrated tilt control and mode switching benefit from the flight-controller pairing.
Budget for vibration isolation. Like any brushless gimbal, footage quality depends heavily on a well-damped mounting plate and a balanced airframe. Pair it with quality anti-vibration mounts and balanced props, and treat the quoted ~153 g as airframe payload when sizing your motors and battery.
FAQ
Common questions.
Which camera does the Tarot T-3D IV fit?
It is designed for the GoPro Hero4 Session and other cameras of the same compact cube size. It is not intended for full-size GoPro Hero bodies, which have different dimensions and weight. Always check the physical fit of your camera before purchase, since the cradle and balance are tuned for the Session form factor.
What is the input voltage for this gimbal?
The T-3D IV accepts a 3S to 6S LiPo, roughly 11V to 26V, so it runs from most common multirotor flight packs. Typical working current is about 30 mA at 25V, with much higher stall current, so route it on clean, adequately rated power leads for stable motor performance.
What is the difference between Pan Follow and FPV mode?
In Pan Follow mode the camera smoothly tracks the aircraft heading for natural cinematic panning while keeping the horizon level. In FPV mode the camera follows flight attitude to give an immersive pilot's-eye perspective. You select the mode through your control link or flight controller depending on the shot you want.
How heavy is the T-3D IV and does it affect flight time?
The gimbal weighs about 153 g without the camera. Add the camera weight and treat the total as payload when sizing motors, propellers and battery. Heavier payloads reduce flight time, so confirm your drone has adequate thrust margin before fitting it.
Can I control the tilt and modes during flight?
Yes. The gimbal has a built-in IMU and servo-drive module and can be commanded over receiver channels or via a Tarot ZYX-M flight controller, allowing in-flight tilt adjustment and mode switching. The exact wiring depends on your radio and flight controller configuration.
Does it work for FPV racing or aggressive flying?
It is built for stabilized capture rather than racing telemetry, but its quoted +/- 200 deg/s controllable speed and +/- 0.02 deg accuracy let it hold a level horizon during banking and dynamic maneuvers. For best results pair it with vibration isolation and a balanced airframe.
