Yea your right without the Transmitter. I already have a entry level dx6i. So far its got 7 models on it. It can hold up to ten. I would spend the extra money and get a transmitter. Dx6i is a 6 channel, it also just dropped in price to 139.99. Look on ebay for the gimble. They are half the price. Might be shit but worth a look at. I searched go pro damper and they came up.
