    Crazy Question -How keep IMU warm while waiting for the Shot

    Re: Crazy Question -How keep IMU warm while waiting for the Great ideas, and I will definitely rig the T splitter. In case anyone's interested, here's what I found: I lost about 10% of capacity for every 10 minutes of just sitting on the ground. When switching from a spare battery to the...

    Crazy Question -How keep IMU warm while waiting for the Shot

    Re: Crazy Question -How keep IMU warm while waiting for the Thanks for the info. Yes, as I said, I'm going to run another test. And I'm going to try to position a Cam asst. up the river, which is a huge variable dependent on a number of factors. It's just such a pain that you can't just swap...

    Discharge rate with motors off? Or how keep IMU warm?

    Thanks, that's very helpful. And yes, I've thought about positioning a helper, and will try to do that. I just don't know if he can get access to the river or an overlook, with enough lead time. Good info... thanks!

    Discharge rate with motors off? Or how keep IMU warm?

    Hi, does anyone know the discharge rate or amount while just letting the P1 sit, without motors running? I'm a pro video Director, and I'm going on a Shoot in a week, of whitewater kayakers coming down a river. The challenge is, from the time I see them coming around the bend, I probably only...

    What frequencies/components for FPV and Flight control?

    What frequencies/components for FPV and Flight control?

    Hi, I'm putting together an FPV system and a new Flight TX/Rx, but the more I read the more undecided I become. Here's what I know: I travel a lot with the Phantom, but rarely fly in urban areas, so 900 MHz seems like a good option. I will be building a larger UAV next year, probably a Hex, so...

    High quality pictures better than gopro dixxion

    Very interesting, thanks for the info. It would be great if the range was higher. So is there a reason you don't use it for FPV? Is the HD signal too much bandwidth, so the frame rate is reduced... or just personal preference for LOS?

    High quality pictures better than gopro dixxion

    I also use the Sony RX-100, it's an amazing camera; I'll try to post some video in the next few days. Halfpipe, which HD transmitter are you using? I'm going to add FPV and really need the option for through-the-lens viewing, straight out of the Sony. (Ideally, I'd like to be able to switch...
