Recommend me a cheap camera gimble

Can anyone recommend me a cheap camera gimble? I haven't really looked in to them as I've only recently got my quadcopter flying (nearly) smoothly enough to be worth trying to take video with but I've been asked to video record of my sisters wedding from the air if possible. I'd like to get something a little better in quality than the slightly fuzzy mini spycam footage I've managed so far but I've not looked in to camera gimbles yet and don't know much about them. I'd probably want to buy something rather than make something just to increase my chances of success the first time around in the 3 weeks i have remaining. Should have looked into it sooner really but nevermind :shrug:

After looking around i went for the RCtimer gimble as it does look pretty good. It should be interesting to see if i can get it delivered, working and learn to use it in the 3 weeks before the wedding.

The good news is i hear the grounds where they are getting married are big so i wont be having to fly near people if i can get something working well enough to be worth trying.
