I find the price of the Bl-Ctrl 2.0 a bet to expensive for my liking, so I went for the I2C to PWM convertor from abusemark website. I will be following your build with interest, as I'm a complete newb to MR aircraft ;) Ross

Dave you hit it right on the head, 2nd job, problems & goodbye..these are my main concerns with this side of the hobby. I recently heardof a flight control board supplie (no names mentioned) that has caused one of the members on this forum problems, I was going to buy the same board, so I kept...

Hi Dirk, I to am also waiting on Rob & Linda to send out a CS8, it was a droidworx octo that made me decide they are more stable than a maxi joker 3 for filming. Are you going to keep with your current equipment or or you going to change anything? I went with a 2820/07 motor & 50A ESC's...

Screened cables are a must with all those electronics. Keep the video TX as far away from the electronics as possible.

Sebbie put up the wrong ones Mat. I have bought 10 x Emax GT2820/07, 140g & 2.3kg thrust. Ross

Thanks Ken, I did add the link to my favourites, but I have so much in there that I'm confusing myself!!! I even read ALL that thread from start to finish, am now a touch more enlightened ;) Ross

Where does one get the TC from? Ross

I2C??? I like the idea of standard ESC's, the troble with MK controllers is the small current (25A) from memory, my motors might well draw 50A each!!!!!!!!! Ross

Only found it last night myself after searching for canon 40D hacks, but that 550D should be beautiful once patched. Ross

Dave, go to range video & they have the DX201 there, even better go to youtube & search for DX201, the results are stunning, its a tiny pixim camera & can be programmed from a plug in lead/box...worth ever penny in my book. Ross

Dont forget to PM me before coming down here, would be great to meet you. I did think at the time of posting my prvious that vid cams might have been new out & VERY expensive, look how far we have come now! Chris Golds still flies RC at Chivenor as well as painting some great oil paintings. Ross

You can find all lenses field of view (FOV) if you go to thier respective manufacturers website. I use a set square with degrees graduation & overlay on a OS map before going to a shoot, that way I can make a choice of what lens would be best to get all in that I want, it also means I can be...

You sure did Mat...will it do octos or just quads? Ross

Im confused (that's easy for me)! Exactly what is copter control, who makes & what can it do? Next question....who is Thread & why do I always have to reply to him :) Ross

Nice flying Jeff, love the location. Dave, FPV is very easy, a DX201 + transmitter of your choice...5.8GHz has very good transmission properties & smaller antennas. I also use 1.3GHz, but not happy with the crap standard antennas available, so have to make our own. Ross

Dave, here is what I'm on about:- http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Magic_Lantern_Firmware_Wiki Ross

It should carry that 550D no problems & with good results, dont forget to use lantern on it! Ross

epants = ebay Nice lenses & cameras, but ALL zoom lenses have massive weight, hence why I suggested a fixed focus lens. I have a 28-70mm F2.8 sigma, but I never use it on my aerial ship, I stick with the 28mm as that is what the human eye sees (crop factor taken into account). Ross

Canon or even a good sigma Ross

Allowing for the multiplication factor of the 550D, a 28mm F1.2 or F1.8 lens would give you the same field of view as the human eye, they are light lenses & can be bought for a good price on epants. Ross
