Totally agree! I phrased it that way on purpose because of the uncertainty involved. I was just trying to provide some info that was given to me.

OK, so now I'm hope. I will first try to describe what I have and what the setup is, and if a picture is needed, I can diagram one up later. So I have two of R6208SB receivers (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXAVCR&P=FR&gclid=CLSC492b1roCFe1aMgod3E0ARA), and 1 or 2 SBD sbus...

Definitely. I'm at work right now, but as soon as I get home (in 3 hours) I will write it up and include a diagram of my setup, and how I quickly switch between 2 person and 1 person setups, yet retain landing gear retracts and camera controls.

First, I have not read any of the attachments, so forgive me if what I'm going to say contradicts the content you guys have read. BUT... A friend of mine that is loosely tied to the FAA process told me that the process the FAA was planning for commercial use of a UAS system weighing less that...

Now... who said what when? lol

On your EVO the IMU mount location on a tray that spans the frame below the main rotor/hub assembly. Typcally, a person places the IMU main controller on the main rotor/hub piece, but then places the IMU on the tray on the landing gear assembly. So if you want to take the S800 apart, now you...

For what it's worth, I do know of one AP pilot that is working with the FAA on the regulations trying to look after our interests.

I just love seeing the videos everyone uploads. Great stuff! Kari, what music were you using in your video?

Got it. So we're on the same page. I was just going to do it without the tray. I was going to just strap the IMU to the tray with zip ties which I can cut easily and replace, as you stated. I may have to put some anti-slip tape underneath it. That is, unless someone sees that as non-advisable.

Growth is almost entirely going to come in the form of channels. There are plenty of transmitters that do 8 channel, so it's purely taste and preference at that point. If you want to focus on growth, look for one with 12, 14, or 16 channels. The Futaba 8FG supports 14 with lots of programming...

Steve, I'm not following. With the IMU anti-vibe tray, there is already a mount point for the IMU on the frame. As you not using that, and coming up with your own tray? Do you have a diagram of what you are thinking?

As we all know, the IMU mount on an S800 with the anti-vibe kit means the taking apart the S800 isn't as easy if you glue/tape IMU on the tray as recommended. In my case I mounted the MC on top of the S800 and now unplug the IMU cable... but it is loosening that connection. Has anybody...

Agreed! Nice smooth beautiful shots!

Good one Petw!

I have two Futaba 8FG, and I love them. But that's just me...

Doh! Should have read more closely... Jaja. Thx

DJI, is this only photos taken from a Phantom Vision? Or is it OK from other DJI platforms (e.g. S800 w/Z15-5R, F450 w/Z15 H3-2D)?

Well, hmmm... Where to start... When it comes to buying an MR you are going to get twice as many opinions as people answering... In other words... Tons! You mentioned aerial photography, so that is goi to have to be your basic minimum criteria. You will find that not any frame, or flight...

I think that is the reasonable route to take. I'm sure you will have fun wiring it up to your hex. Happy flying!

Sadly, I won't be able to tell you about the ardupilot. Others will chime in I'm sure. But, from what I understand, the Naza's are better suited for out of the box operation and that the arduino-based FCs require more setup time and understanding. As for the V2 versus Lite... The lite is...
