    Go Pro Hero 2 - Has anyone found a way to remotely snap photos using the transmitter

    I used to use 5 but got fed of disposing of so many files, so went to 10sec, Find it allows more FPV time to frame shots also. I so wish Gopro would offer a narrow FOV for stills, its so frustrating having such a capable little camera rendered unsuitable for distant shots. So someone please tell...

    Go Pro Hero 2 - Has anyone found a way to remotely snap photos using the transmitter

    Looks like basically the same as the Gentwire HERO. You set the camera to automatically record or start shooting on start up, and these basically switch the camera on and off.

    Cinestar 8 brushless conversion :)

    Will certainly be following your thread here Tom. wish I had the time to devote to mod'ing my gimbal myself, but with working away at sea half my time I can only rob so much time from my family. I would certainly be interested if you were going to sell kits for the CS gimbal.

    Cinestar 8 brushless conversion :)

    That looks sweet right enough, nice alternative to the MoVI, Neat job!! Still fine tuning my CS2X/Radian setup and thinking whats the point in servo driven gimbals now!! Are you considering production of these as kits?

    think you'll be OK, lets see, Aileron, Elevator, Throttle, Rudder, Fight mode, leaves 1 channel for either OIC or Failsafe (RTF/Autoland). If you dont want to use manual mode you can make RTH your third flight mode (GPS,ATTI and RTH) I take it the DX6 has a 3 pos'n switch. You'll need more...

    quad or 6 ?

    My F450 setup, the gopro is fixed, so smoothness of video depends on the wind really and command inputs obviously, can pull some smooth clips out of the footage on a calm day. Yeah GP2 has live video out. You should not need a 2nd transmitter for a gimbal, not at quad level really, you only...

    quad or 6 ?

    Where do we start?? Its all down to how much you want to spend (to an extent) and what you want to carry. If its just a gopro then a small quad willl do the job. The gopro silver is basically a gopro 2 and personally if I were to choose I would go for the lower cost, lesser hassle, gopro 2. I...

    Simple flight ops manual for BNUC candidates ??????

    What do you think Dave; Airworthiness checks for sub 20kg? Maybe this would be a good thing and would avoid flight tests for each an every system. I mean lets face it, at the moment its really a test of the system not the pilot.

    XAircraft SuperX unboxing

    I think he just took on more than he could chew I think, when you could get hold of him it was clear he was a well meaning guy and tried to do the right thing. He tried to issue a recall on a batch of FC1212S AHRS units for safety reasons but I believe higher powers were not in agreement.

    GoPro 3 Black 4k & 2.7K output

    Is it 2.7K still only available in wide FOV with the new firmware? Not much good for AP or AV. Surely lose so much quality in post, after lens distortion and crop. may as well use 1080 narrow

    Is anyone using the Hitec Aurora9 radio?

    Yeah, Aurora 9. dont know if its common, cant say I've noticed much talk online of it, maybe I'm just too rough with them. (More used to aircraft grade switches on ROV Control stations) so probably.

    Is anyone using the Hitec Aurora9 radio?

    I quite like them Bart, but I had not had mine very long and one of the 3 position switches went tits up, then one of the 2 pos'n switches did the same, and last week the Idle up switch got all intermittent on me. must contact Hitec and see if I can order some switches. dont want to switch...

    XAircraft Still in business

    Good to see XA still going strong, looking forward to hearing how the Super X works out and seeing the long awaited TAG6 perform. Also released the X650 Pro, upgraded from the X650 V series. using larger ESC's Tiger Motors / APC 11" props. however I think with the new motor/ESC mounts, not sure...

    Flying safety. oath to not fly over people!

    There are also flight minima for flying over congested areas and congregations of people for manned aircraft.

    Question: Canon S100 HDMI Live Output

    CHDK Intervalometer script works a treat. This is really the only non-mechanical way to remote trigger as the USB is occupied for AV out, so cannot use GentwireUSB etc and have live view. best of luck with it.
