I haven't given up on the camera, and I am not sure. I did, however, sell my S1000. I don't do this for a profession and simply was too expensive/stressful for me! haha.

I took my Phantom 2 with H3-3D to Northern Michigan's Bay Harbor for the weekend to share some scenes with all of you. It is 1/10th the cost of my previous setup (S1000 with 5DIII), but I think the results can be pretty decent when you really take the time to learn how to get the most out of the...

sorry no, i will remove it now

From the S1000, probably about 100 minutes total, 1 minute used.

While I prepared and practice for autopilot flights with the 2.4 ghz bluetooth datalink via my iPad while at home, I never ended up using it in the field, primarily due to the absence of cell service (i couldn't download any maps, and hadn't pre-loaded them when i had the chance when i was in...

Thanks! It performed very well. Here are some things I learned: (1) consider buying a carry case that allows the system to be transported assembled. I had to disassemble/reassemble the arms, gimbal, and landing gear before every commercial flight. They now sell cases that are expensive...

I just took my S1000 to the Southwest, I strongly encourage ALL of you to take your multirotors there - it sure beats all of the shots from my back yard and local football field! https://vimeo.com/93111033

Great to hear, and good thinking. If I were you, I would definitely not sacrifice the BTU, primarily because you would be cutting off the main method of the system communicating with you and/or warning you (the LED). The hub will add weight, but might be easier to find than the cord. I buy...

Hi Kaptankaos, I made the following diagram to show you exactly how my 2.4 ghz datalink is hooked up to my A2 (and verified working during yesterday's test flight). I took snapshots of a couple portions of DJI literature and highlighted in pink exactly where I plugged in and with what type of...

Farmer Fred, I had to come back into this forum and first of all thank you again for your advice but ALSO let you know that even after your warning I STILL managed to forget about the having some throttle ready for the change over from auto-pilot to my tx. Boy, did she fall fast! Luckily, I...

kaptanakoas: today on my S1000, i hooked the air end right up to the PMU on the A2 and it worked fine on with my iPad mini -- with the exception of flight simulator mode, as I had been warned (running iOS7). I also tried it on the WKM with my S800 EVO (on the WKM i hooked into the gps port) and...

Thanks a ton for the input, especially for the advice about applying throttle in advance (in preparation of jumping back to transmitter control) -- I would have never thought of that and definitely would have needed a new pair of shorts following the unexpected loss of altitude! I am going to...

I know this sounds a bit anal, but it is better to be safe than sorry: is there a way to set a Futaba transmitter (mine is the 8G, for example) to beep or warn me if I have my landing gear switch in the retract position? That way when I fire up my tx I have a basically idiot-proof way of...
