I am new to Quad's/UAV's but not new to RC. I have been into RC
fixed wing and helis for 20+ years and I take a short, 2 year break and come
back to Rise of the Machines....

Heck, I don't even know how to post YouTube video's yet, but I was early into electric
heli's and micros, used to give my opinions from a newb's perspective and will
do so again with this great machine and my trials and tribulations with FPV -
both of which I am only about 2 weeks into.

Look here for my progress:

Here is a first tip/idea for me (which has probably already been
done by someone) to combat what I saw as a lack of easy, cheap ways to get pan
and tilt onto my new Phantom.

or a direct link (maybe)...

Excuse the intro - but I just tried editing video on my wife's Mac for the first time
and it was so easy I probably got carried away.

Model SPT-50 - about $20.

2x HS5055MG servos - about $40 total maybe?

1mm Carbon plate (from a crash
years ago - so free).

Hot glue.

Camera (WDR 770) is really
crisp.

Now back to trying to figure out how to set up my 14MZ with the
2.4 TM-14 moduls to run the phantom without having any Sbus Rx's lying around!
Closest Rx I have is an 6008HS. Any suggestions on one I can get that will work
with the old MZ and have an SBus so I can just use one cable to the Naza?
