im going to dig in and studdy this and study the area. being raised on a farm, plus most of my family have large cattle farms, i think i may be able to make a decent decision. although, being aroud rednecks, to include me, i can't count the times ive had friends want me to use my airplane so...

you know..... when i skydive, i notice a lot of dead spots in fields. im not jumping every weekend like i use to but at least a weeknd a month. maybe i need to start paying better attention when im under canopy and pin point the fields. i could set something up with those owners.

yea. that makes it really hard to dump 8 grand on PIX4. lol

i do like the write up @Mactadpole but it seems that if your ether not already a big player in it or goverment granted.... it may not happen. i live in the south west arkansas and there are fields everwhere but not a lot of tech.... still playing the odds with it.

im just wondering if i should jump into this market. where i live, there are endless fields of beans, corn, cotton, etc. it would seem that mapping would be a good route to take. but.... is there anyone doing it that's actually making money at it? ive looked at several platforms. of course...

yea. i think im going the way of a tarot 690 building it myself. just cheaper, i know what's in it and i can mount something other than a gopro. the octo i have now does it's purpose and has worked well. except for the freaking esc's !! that's a whole nother story!

Ugh..... so many options. ... I already have an 1100 to carry my SLR camera and I use it for my a6000 as well. I'm looking for something a bit easier to transport, setup, etc. I was thinking of just getting a solo but got to looking at the tarot x6 or x4. Mainly because I don't want to be stuck...

ok... so i went to lowes and got the 2 position level along with the 3 in line buble level. used the 2 position to stay on top of the multi then put the other level on the esc's, since they are flat and mounted under the motors. 5 were tilted to make a left hand turn, i was able to straighten...

yes sir. the calibration has been done in mission planner. the motors look flat, no yaw trim at all and everything is centered.

as far as i know... i have checked them before and im pretty sure that when i installed the new esc's that i made sure they were. i will check again when i get home though.

hello guys I posted this in APM forum but no one has been able to help me so far. maybe you guys can. i have an Rctimer s1100 pro setup with pixhawk, x8r sbus, taranis with opentx latest firm. I bought it all from a guy that had it set up and ready to go. in the beginning I had a small yaw...

for a while I have been waiting to use my A6000 as FPV but I also wanted the functions of gentwire-multi. problem was that the Sony hdmi to av converter board plugs directly into the camera which left no room for the Multi cable. here was my fix if you guys are wanting this type of setup. the...

@Old Man . if those guys come to my area let me know. I would like to watch how professionals do this stuff. lol. at least get to know some more people in this industry. I wish we had more of people this way. :( it's amazing to watch and even more amazing to be a part of. I don't think it's...

no luck today... :( we had a get together to feed the people searching today. this community is stronger that any i have ever seen. it's like being in the military again. the people are soooo close!! we are all family no matter the age, skin, or decent. i was able to get the multi out. video is...

sounds. I've ordered the MinimOSD. can't wait to get it setup. I'm hoping to go out today and get some footage of the floods here. the Red River here in Texarkana, TX of over the banks. my wife has a cousin still missing. I was out flying my buddies helicopter 2 days ago looking for him...
