The mounts will have to be spaced to fit the mounting points of your gimbal if your gimbal has them. You have to be careful though because there are traces in the top plate for receiver connections you probably don’t want to destroy or short out by drilling through. To mount the tube holders you need to drill holes through the top plate of the TBS Discovery. Of course you can use any size tube mount and tube depending on what is available and the size of your gimbal. GetFPV has these 10mm carbon tubes that will serve as the rails. You can buy the tube mounts individually, but they will probably cost more. Hobbyking sells these 10mm carbon tube holders as part of a battery mounting system. Starting with the rail system I sourced the following parts.
An additional problem is the Discovery is not very tall, so leg extensions have to be added to give the gimbal clearance. To mount a three axis gimbal the solution is to add rails to the top plate of the discovery, from which the gimbal can hang from.

At the moment there is no three axis gimbal version of the TBS Discovery, which is why this mod exists. Team Blacksheep later released the TBS Discovery Pro which incorporates a two axis gimbal. It utilizes a small ledge on the front of the frame to hard mount a GoPro and a FPV camera. The original TBS Discovery was never designed for a gimbal. Unfortunately I do not know the name of the person behind it, but all credit for this mod should go to them. I came across a great project and website documenting a TBS Discovery 3-axis gimbal mod. Back in the fall of 2015 I was debating airframes to carry a three axis gimbal.
