One more little tip. Remember a bad day only gets worse. If things are happening that distracts you before a flight, it isn't going to get any better.

Thats Cool! I remember that day. One of the achievements I'm most proud of. Keep up the hard work and and get your license.

I have this set-up also. I'm flying with 2 operator set-up with Futaba Radio's. To operate the camera, we had to "hard wire" the Futaba receiver (s bus connection only caused the camera to automatically take a picture) to the Z15. It might be worth the try.

A friend of mine took his phantom to the beach and rigged a piece of coat hanger to carry his lure past the sand bars and dropped it. It worked extremely well.

Kloner, i have the same set-up. When the machine was built, with Futaba 14SG's, the camera would automatically take a shot every second. S-bus was used and the only way we could make it quit was to do away with s-bus and hardwire each channel. Only other difference is Im flying A2, Also flying...

It's time for the instructor to let you fly by yourself for 3 touch and goes.

That is a very cool shot!

I have not seen anywhere on this thread that mentions making sure the landing gear is programmed to come down when setting up the failsafe feature.

Through due diligence, the issue of the gimbal activating the shutter release, has been resolved. Adam Willman from E Mergent Hobby in Huntsville, AL, found a work around the problem. Somewhere the gimbal was firing the IR emitter telling the camera to snap a frame. The Zenmuse is being...

Hi Guys, I've got this same set-up and having trouble with the 5D taking pictures by itself about every minute. Also, I was told I would have aperture control on the left slider of the photo radio (Futaba 14SG) but no joy. If I could rectify these 2 problems, I'd be overjoyed! The company that...

The Ronin will be to heavy for a MR.

How's the new gimbal? i got the S1000v and it's smooth. I have to work out one kink in the camera ,(it's taking a still frame every 55 seconds on its own) and it will be perfect. I'm at the beach right now so flying the small machine. Let me hear from you.

I'm using the A2 flight controller.

Thanks Quinton Yes the receiver is plugged into Aux 2 on the GCU. Everything is working, shutter release and video record start and stop, but still getting the unwanted still frames. I'm about to leave for vacation and having to leave it home. I'll still be online trying to figure it out so...

Quinton, No, I haven't tried covering the IR. I assumed that was the shutter and video control. All the channels are mapped per page 16 and yes to using S-Bus. If I can't shoot stills while recording video's, how do I deactivate the shutter release and just control the video record start and...
