George, I was #2 on the swap list. Is there something else that I need to do? Kenny

I just finished the first iteration of my fpv ground station. I bought a Pelican case and used industrial strength velcro to mount all the stuff. The monitor I bought somewhere a couple of years ago for $30. It's a 10" 4X3 and it does blue screen. It's the guts for a lcd monitor, but it...

Jesper, you shoot some fine video and what a sweet octo. I like the on-axis mount of your PL. You're definitely at the pinnacle of AP. Those videos are just stunning.

I just wanted to speak in defense of George. I was in his position 8 years ago when I designed a real time system for a company that found itself in a bad situation. All during the design and fw process, I caught nothing but hell for not giving them what they wanted, when they wanted it, before...

Make sure you're not trying them at the same time. Can only do them one at a time. Only PL or flashmagic, not both.

Here's where to get it from http://www.advancemag.com/index.htm . Interesting reading but mostly did a fly by on me:) They have an engineering package for $183.50USD that probably has enough to do many servos. I didn't find this until I had already bought a 4' sq sheet of .031" soft iron from...

Same place you get unobtainium:) I wouldn't put the iron on the PL ... only on the servo's. It might not work, but it won't cost much to find out. I'll let you know how it works.

I think it needs to be ferrous, like iron, to contain the magnetic field. It won't eliminate the field, but I hope it will attenuate it so that the mags work ok. I'm very new to this but it would seem like the mags are an essential component in the camera stabilization scheme, to help stabilize...

smooth man ... what audio track is that? Great jazz! Has anyone experiencing the magnetic problem with the picloc, tried to solve it yet? I think all that anybody has tried is positioning. I'm trying to get hold of some iron foil. I'm thinking that if you wrapped the servos with a couple of...

Wow, that's a definite +1 on the Octo side of the ledger. I'll keep that in mind. Swinging 14" props will make a larger frame. That was my only concern with the Octo. That video will make me re-consider whether the X8 is the right way to go. On another note, I'm putting in the addon board and...

Which posting would that be ... I'm always looking for the best

Thanks MombasaFlash and yes my new build will be an X8 or an Octo. Haven't completely decided but I'm leaning toward the X8.

Questions I have about the Picloc functionality My understanding of how the PL funtions goes like this. You point the camera at something, then center the control. The PL now maintains camera attitude regardless of the flight deck attitude changes, within reason. Is this right? In operation...

Thanks MombasaFlash. You've made me think about the PL positioning, and the ramifications of placing it with the camera. I'm so new to this that I only powered up my PL today and updated the FW to the latest version. I'm not sure what the two Auxiliaries are for yet, but I guess I'll figure that...

I agree. It's the only way to do 2 person AP properly

I've read this thread completely now and I haven't noticed that many builds where the PL is mounted on the camera plate, not using any external pots, just the PL for feedback and CR servos. This is how I plan to use mine. Anyone else using it this way? Thanks Boris for your help getting my...
