    Getting a S900

    I'm thinking of using that supplier for a S900 with a BMPCC that I already own and use on the ground. Did you have a P2 before? How does the S900 handle in comparison? Did you consider the A2 before going for the Wookong?

    Tutorials for manual-mode flying?

    The BMFA (UK) has just issued it's part A and B examinations for multi-rotors. Guess what - GPS and ATTI is banned, you must do the tests in manual. I was a bit taken aback by this decision, it's like doing your driving test with all the ABS, airbags and other safety features turned off. Anyway...

    One Transmitter To Unite Them All

    Ok, all setup and working now. Here is the epee file I use: It's configured very much like the original Phantom 2 controller. But has a bit more functionality such as a dedicated failsafe switch and a switch to move the camera straight down, straight forward, or any tilt angle using the left...

    UK commercial use and the A2 flight controller

    Yep, I heard a few months back from Helliguy(.co.uk) that the A2 had such a bad safety record it was going to be grounded by the CAA. They were happy to supply me with a S1000 fitted with a Wookong - which is a very good option to consider anyway.

    One Transmitter To Unite Them All

    Ah - ok, many thanks OI. For everybody - Here is what I think the different tabs are used for in the OPEN TX software to program the Taranis X9D Transmitter. It's a mixture of facts, questions and frustrations but could be useful in the future, especial if people can find the time to plough...

    One Transmitter To Unite Them All

    Need help! This is where I have got to.... I've installed and bound a X8R with a GPS s.port module in the Phantom 2 (incorrectly called sbus in the image): I've loaded this eepe file to the X9D: When I connect the Phantom 2 to the PT2 Assistant it all seems to work, in that the...

    How are you identifying your Phantom for return/reward?

    I went for my email address instead of a phone number. Not sure why.

    Galaxy Visitor 2 or Hubsan x4 107D........?

    I have both. The GV2 flies nice and steady on arrival, but can ramp up when you are ready. The X4 is a brute out of the box until you learn how to calm it down. Just my personal experiences. I like the GV2 720HD camera as you can control it from the transmitter. You have to remember to turn on...

    P2 for fun only....NO video wanted please

    The telemetry and fpv from the camera has brought my Phantom safely home twice! I consider it a safety feature.

    Flickering when using Hero 3 on Phantom

    I've heard a neutral density filter does the trick, but I've no first hand experience of it working.

    Cinematography - It's a cruel mistress

    In my view the Phantom / Arial Photography is fantastic for B-roll footage. I don't really see how it can produce A-roll footage. There is no ability to focus as all the cameras are first person view, infinite focus, ultra wide angle lenses. I would be ecstatic to hear any ideas on how to...
