    First FPV flight of TBS Discovery

    So Which would you choose for me? lol I have been looking at both the QAV, and now the TBS Discovery.

    FPV flying a quad, Basic Gimble questions- Viewing through camera on a gimbal?

    That makes more sense . So ok, I better stick with one camera for now. I don't plan on havering a co pilot unless my son wants in. But id'd expect he would want to fly instead .

    1 Easy Question on the DJI NAZA . Will it power my radio RX or do i need 2nd pwr src

    Hi everyone. I was looking at the DJ NAZA V2. I understand that my radio rx connects to it via SBUS or individual control channels, but I was wondering if the DJ NAZA also provides power to the radio RX? Or do I need to still use a 2nd battery/receiver battery??
