Adobe After Effects, Track Camera to map the surfaces then a few masks for the foreground objects passing in front. Nick

well spotted, it is indeed a Nex-5N, S800evo, Z15, Wookong setup.

Hi everyone, here's a video I just finished for my local county in Flintshire, North Wales Regards, Nick

I was having exactly this issue. It was compounded when I made up a lead to plug a composite video monitor straight into my Z15 3.5mm jack and got a good video signal, which only left the IOS unit to be the culprit. After swapping the IOSD out, it turns out the fault actually lay with HDMI...

Really nice visuals - right back at ya with the music comment though :shame: Nick

First Video Posting First time I've put my efforts in front of you guys, so be gentle with me. Shot in and around North Wales and Liverpool UK. Nick.

I think you misunderstood me there. If you put say, six different bearings in, each +30 degrees for the same waypoint with Wookong or Naza, you will not get 6 smooth, clockwise rotations with a common centre point. Try it yourself. I have done a lot of testing of this with F550s and S800-evos...

I tried using waypoints originally and it simply doesn't work. The aircraft moves off station as it turns, as well as crazy, seemingly random changes of rotation direction. so to get from 60 to 90 degrees it doesn't necessarily move +30, it may well move -330. Hence building something.

Well I built one of these to solve the same problem- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLOLlXz3Sss&feature=share&list=UUWxjDcSEBTgLc_xCn4PZiRQ&index=7 Since perfecting the electronics, I machined an aluminium load bearing and carbon fibre side frames, as it was for stills I didn't use a gimbal.

I got 'my ticket' with them too, Great bunch of guys and I have to say, having sat through a lifetime of various training, This is probably the only course that fully held my attention from beginning to end.

I'm struggling with POI myself, maybe you guys can provide some clarity. The wookong manual states that POI can be set in flight by flicking from OFF to POI and back once. The LED should flash CYAN (not green) in my experience this simply doesn't work. It implies the POI centre will be 5m ahead...

Don't understand your iPad range point here? are you saying the 900MHz version has more range the the 2.4GHz version? if so, OK, I can't comment as the 2.4GHz version is the only one allowable in the UK. Or are you talking about the bluetooth iPad connection? which does indeed have limited...

not in any usable way. you choose between banking on turns, or stop and turn. In stop and turn you can specify an angle, which is relative to North and points the aircraft in that direction, albeit abruptly. With a Z15, turn the gimbal, and note the angle on the OSD to make it repeatable, is...

Hi guys, I went a different way with this. with a full system you need a can bus hub anyway, so I fabricated a bracket to mount this on the landing gear rails, that you can see in this picture: You need to get the RC connector for the retracts, and in my case cross feeds from the primary...

+1 again, there is a design flaw with AVL58 IMHO, the aerial connector is just clamped by the case and soldered, it isn't mechanically held in place with a nut, so as you flex the aerial, the solder joint fails and lifts the track on the PCB like this The upshot being that it works on the...
