Current IRIS owner here. Looks like the IRIS+ still only includes a two-axis Tarot gimbal; while the gimbal _vastly_ improves image quality vs direct-mount, failure to stabilize yaw yields a fair amount of shake - I was hoping the IRIS+ would add 3D stabilization to offer full stabilization and was disappointed to see this wasn't the case. On the bright side, the battery pack is much bigger than on the IRIS (5100 mAh vs 3500mAh, which explains much of the flight time difference) and the long legs are now included by default weighing in at the same 1283g. The included follow-me mode is not very good unless it's been dramatically improved from ~3 months ago. Will be interesting to see how this ends up competing with RTF follow-me solutions from AirDog and Hexo+ next year.
