Balcombe Viaduct in Sussex, England Balcombe Viaduct by Sam_C_Moore, on Flickr

I feel like all I've flown in is wind around 15 to 20mph, maybe more at times in short bursts and despite this the s900 has been very stable. Seems to hold altitude very well and the gimbal is so smooth. This is also with a wookong so I have no idea how this compares to the A2. I guess one...

MrMarr, it works perfectly as soon as I linked everything up. Really happy about this. Its basically cost me £65 delivered for a controller/receiver and this switch to get a second operator working on the Zenmuse Gimbal. I am just waiting for a second monitor to arrive now so both operators can...

OK this is all good, as it turns out I didnt need to use the learn function, it just seemed to work. I had the Futaba 14SG setup using switch SD (channel 8 on my setup) which is to switch between output channels.. I may update the controller at a later date, but for now coming in at about £65...

Hi Bart, received my multiplexer yesterday and have soldered up all the pins. Only pan and tilt are required as I want to keep the master with control of the shutter and modes. I havent connected to the receivers yet, but will post up photos once its done. Your video was very helpful and I did...

Bart this is fantastic, absolutely perfect for my needs, have managed to find a UK website that stocks this switch and just made the order. Very excited to receive this now :D.

Bart that looks absolutely brilliant, thank you so much for posting, much appreciated. I will look into this switch option.

A compilation of footage using an S900 with GH4 and Phantom 2 with GoPro Hero 3 from August to December. Have learned a lot and still learning, but getting much more confident in my ability.

Hello, I wonder if anyone could help me here, I have an S900 with a WKM Wookong, plus 2 receivers which one has complete control of the multirotor including gimbal and a second receiver that just controls the gimbal if I need a second operator. Now the setup I have means I have to swap cables...

The GH4 continues to impress me for film work, I use a 5D3 for general ground still and video work, but the GH4 is becoming my choice for video. The Olympus 12mm, f5.6 is the sweet spot for me, I would say from F8 onwards defraction starts to show although really this is more of a concern with...

The RX100 is a very good camera, also look into micro four thirds like the Panasonic GM1. The sensor is better on the panasonic and the 12-32mm kit lens is tiny but suprisingly good quality (you also have the option of adding other lenses), slightly heavier than the Sony but I stuck one of these...

That is strange, I have just edited the link and it should be working now, not sure how I messed that up first time, but anyway, thank you for the kind words. I am actually desperate to get out and fly over some low laying mist/fog. :D

Hi Steve, That is very interesting thank you for uploading, I think the sketch was resized on upload, so its tricky to read the text but I am a little confused on using channel 8, as being in Mode D on the Futaba 7008SB, channels 9-12 are linked to the Z15 so that should free up the first 8...

Hi Steve, OK I take back my last post, its NEARLY perfect :). Shutter, Pan, Tilt and Mode all assigned direct from the Z15 and working well on the controller, but I forgot about the retracts which I wanted on Channel 8, but I am confused how to link it up as this is part of Sbus. How are you...
