Oh, the One can do that (I've done it to more than one house) but the resolution will not be as well-defined until you get it home and do some post-processing. The post-processing is difficult so I generally just give them the picture as is.

Yeah, the drones at most tech support places these days are just that. Even if they actually know to correct a problem, some of them are required by corporate to follow their <censored> <censored> scripts. Those are companies to avoid in the future and let others know about them. Strange...

Get a 3D printer and make you own brackets. That way, you'll get exactly what you need, and maybe for less than the bracket alone.

THAT image is NOT from a FLIR One, it's from a much more expensive model. If you see that detail on a FLIR One, you're doing way better than the unit is capable of doing. :) I've been studying (and using) one for several months now, except I attach mine to a 10 in ch Android tablet. Yes, the...

JHook, you'll probably have to buy and learn how to use a 3D printer and make your own adapter to one of the gimbals already on the market. I do recall seeing that kit on Helipal but refused to pay that horrendous shipping cost AND accepting a 4-6 WEEK delivery time.

There is a frame/legs kit that extends the rods quite far from the hub/center but I just remember where I saw that. I wanted to get it until I saw their price. You put the battery on the back extended rods in order to balance the system since the camera and it's gear are so far forward.

Don't forget to check their "shipping" charges. Rumor has it that it sometimes goes over $100US!!!

So a 4 black will work?

If not for the <censored> <censored> TFR <censored>, IMO you can get the photos and videos and share them with whomever you choose. You just can't charge money for them. I am 107 certificated and I have attended many FAA and other seminars where this issue was discussed. Just don't fly over...

IMO, we should totally BAN bicycles from roads, not drones, because of stuff like this.

Thanks, Jason. I did just that. Wound up getting a clone when I thought I was getting some bits that help mount the gopro in different ways. I call it my "nickel GoPro." (Actual cost $25.) It is REALLY cheaply made. At home, it seems to work ok but actual use is TBD. Even the used GoPro's...

I'm told the Hero3 is what that gimbal was designed for, but I cannot STAND that fisheye effect. Can it be turned off completely in the camera? If not, what other cameras will fit the gimbal? Sure would like to have 4k but 1080p is acceptable. Thanks.

Just got my F550 kit a few days ago. Didn't realize there would be no ground controller or FPV equipment included, :( So I'm spending hours trying to find a good fit. It came with a Naza V2 (is that the same as a Naza M?) and Zenmuse H3-3D. Now where can I find a Hero 3? :) Looking forward...

Just received the F550 kit with zenmuse gimbal. Not new to drones but new to F550. 1. can the zenmuse mount the Hero 5x cameras? Or does it only work with the Hero 3x? 2. What ground controller do you recommend? I'd like to have (almost) live video streaming to the controller and recording...
