Zenmuse H3-2D shipping soon

Zenmuse H3-2D shipping soon

According to various internet sources, the GoPro Zenmuse should be shipping but with only 2000 units in total for the first batch, with 300 of those destined for Europe.  In the UK the gimbal sells for £450.00 Inc VAT (unless you can find it cheaper, then let us know).
