I have a F450 that I am considering placing a camera gimbal under. It looks like pretty much the whole middle of the frame is part of the power distribution covered with some sort of coating/paint. Is that how it is made? If so, if I put bolts through it it would short out the battery. :upset:

Here is mine on my F450. The landing gear extensions were a little short to get the gimbal under the quad but I made a mount out of some G10 I had cut out with a bandsaw and sanded to shape with a belt sander. :D The CG is a little far forward though. I may try to raise the quad so I can fit it...

Those are nice. I have my gopro in a gimbal now but I will surely bookmark that site for future use.

Yes, you have to keep anything on the quad from blocking the antenna. I had problems at first with my battery blocking my signal when I would turn to come back. I would have a clear picture going out but when I turned back I could hardly see anything. I moved the antenna up much higher and...

Also you may want to check and see if your TX and/or RX are reverse SMA connectors. With my Foxtech stuff I had to get adapters to make them work with bluebeam antennas.

5.8 is pretty weak in terms of range. I have a 200mw TX on my quad and have went probably 1/4 mile so far but that was LOS. If you try to go behind trees and such range is much less. On my plane I am using an 800mw 1.2 TX and have gone 4 miles so far with perfect video. If I was going for range...

Thanks Ed. It is a Naza. I knew I read something about it and it was probably referring to the WKM. I'll see if I can get the COG a little closer to the center though. Dune, It is this one. http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?2549-New-GoPro-Tilt-and-roll-gimbal I am also using...

Hey everyone. I have just put a camera gimbal on the front of my F450 which moved my COG quite a bit forward. Is COG very important for quads? My guess is that the front motors would just have to spin a little faster to lift a little more and balance it all out. I have hovered it in the...

It got it all together. I thought it was going to be flimsy when I first looked at the pieces but once you get everything together it is very rigid. Now I just need to figure out how I want to mount it to my F450. The easiest place would be to just mount it to the tab sticking off of the...

I got home early from work today and my gimbal was here. :tennis: Hopefully I will have a chance to put it together later and figure out if I can stuff it under my F450 with landing gear extensions.

I have read that but I have been wondering how many people have actually tried it. I was thinking of a video switcher but was trying to keep everything as simple as I could. I may go that route. Thanks.

Hi everyone. I have been flying my quad using my gopro as a flight camera as well. I have a camera gimbal on the way that I will stabilize through my Naza. Has anyone tried flying FPV through a stabilized camera on a quad? I know I will loose the tilting sensation so it will probably be a...

I do that a lot flying FPV. It seems like every time I see or do something really cool I land and look at the camera and I forgot to push record. :upset:

Nice! I can't wait until I get mine. You don't happen to have the video from the GoPro while you were flying around like that do you? Just curious what it looks like.

Okay. I'm officially an idiot now. Thanks guys for the help. I was thinking surely I didn't have all those errors. :D

Wait a minute, Something just clicked and I think I might be looking at this all wrong. I am getting that list under the About menu at the top and selecting error codes. Is this a list of the actual codes I have or just a list to tell you what the error codes mean? If it is just a generic...

I am pretty sure I registered it. I seem to recall something coming up the first time I hooked everything up. If not, how could I do it now? Yeah, I am pretty sure that something is stored on my CPU since it does it even without the Naza connected. I removed the whole assistant program...

No problem, I just took it the wrong way. Sometimes It's hard to understand what people mean by what they typed. My first question was kinda vague. I powered down everything and reconnected it as you said and have tried several combinations of when I plugged the Naza in and when I launched...

Another little tidbit. Without even having the Naza connected it will bring up these error codes. I even uninstalled the whole Naza assistant and they still are there when I re installed it. For some reason they just aren't going away. The same errors have been on there since I set up the...

Okay, I think those comments were a little uncalled for but whatever. I have read the horrible manual several times and I just searched the PDF and there is only one mention of error codes and that is just telling you it is in the menu. Nothing in there says they will clear themselves when...
