Correct, the M is adapted from the Scale Heli unit and has none of the limitations of the heli controller. Ken

OK, I'll PM you my mailing address and you can send one over so I can do that... :p Ken

Yes, the ESC control signal cable plugs into the DJI controller but the ESCs still need to get battery power, they only get control signals from the DJI so you still need a power harness (board, ring, etc) of some sort to provide battery power to the ESCs and they in turn power the motors and...

As soon as I get it setup and dialed in I'll do some back to back flights in the same place with both the DJI and the Droidworx AD6 while recording video from a GoPro. ALso plan to do some park it at altitude in position and altitude hold while recording to see how well each does there, then...

I'll let you know how well it works as soon as mine gets here, hopefully by this time next week. I'll be doing direct comparison of the DJI with my MK Hexa, looking for which is the most stable platform for APV. I do like the return to home failsafe and auto land feature, have to wait and see...

From their website... "Procerus Technologies, founded in January of 2004, develops and markets the Kestrel™ Autopilot System for mini and micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs and MAVs). The company’s purpose is to bring innovative and meaningful miniature UAV avionics products to market for...

Expensive yes, made for hobby use, most definitely not. This is several steps above anything any of us are currently using and at $8500 US for just the flight controller the price certainly reflects the intent to be a high end commercial grade system. Their website is here, you can see some...

Practice and proper setup! Take the camera off and maybe even the AV200 as well and spend a lot of time getting the feel of the controls and what it takes to fly smooth and level before you try flying with the distraction of having a camera onboard, and make sure the accelerometer is...

The gimbal barely notices the GoPro is there, the response is probably as good as it will ever get for roll and tilt compensation. The main problem with a lot of the bigger gimbals is the servos can't deal with the weight of the camera they are often laden with. To me if I were going to make a...

I looked at the Ragecam lenses but found they still have some degree of fisheye effect in all of them. Since I already had the Sunex it wasn't worth the cost just to be able to have the case waterproof again, I just took the glass lens off the front and let the Sunex stick through. If I had a...

DSL355A-650-F2.8 is the Sunex part number, they also have a European distributor so you don't need to order from the US, their contact info is in a list on the website I linked to earlier. Ken

Current state of the build... It won't be flown with this setup until the new flight controller setup arrives and is installed. Ken

The Sunex lens is a replacement lens that while not specifically made for the GoPro fits in place of the original fisheye lens and gives the recorded video a more normal flat look. You give up some of the field of view that can be had with the stock fisheye and you don't get that distorted...

I use the GoPro with Sunex lens the most, it's the least expensive option for 60 FPS progressive video which IMO is the minimum resolution needed to get smooth pans in all directions while flying. I also use a Canon SX 200 and a Canon Vixia camcorder. The Vixia has nice video in its native...

His method of setting compensation is incorrect, it is not to set servo speed, it is used to make sure the platform is level to the horizon at higher angles of movement, I describe the proper procedure for setting compensation here...
