Help with DJI s800

[DanTheFisherMan]

I would like to know if it is possible to hook my DJI s800 up w two TX's.? one for flight control and one for filming?

It all depends on the amount of channels on the transmitter and receiver. You can get away with 8 but 14 is better.

Of course it is, that's the way most people do it anyway. One Rx connected to the WKM for the pilot, one Rx connected to the gimbal for the camera operator. If you use the Zenmuse gimbal and retractable legs, this is pretty much the only way to get full functionality, as you need 8 channels for flight control (throttle, yaw, pitch, roll, mode, IOC, come-home, retracts) and 8 for camera (pan, roll, tilt, mode, FPV look fwd/down, video rec start/stop, still shutter, HDMI on/off).

Also, the Zenmuse expects control on channels 1-8 also, so even with two Rx's bound to one Tx you would have some problems - it's doable with FrSky receivers I believe, but still... unless you are an octopus, it would be hard to control for one person..!!!
