Dave, My comment was directed to 'ovdt' It left his quote out for some reason................ Good luck with your new build. What FCB are you going with ? Sid

Good luck with your build and thanks for your offer of the blog. Exciting times lay ahead but tinged with apprehension no doubt............... Sid

The 5D with good glass is big jump in weight...........may need to consider an Octo ? Sid

Dave, can you do me a favour? I have been having problems with my Gu 344 controller for the past while. I have swopped out Motors and ESC's and redone all connections on two separate occasions, all to no avail so I suspect the problem is the Gu 344. I intended to install the CC...

aah !.... Dave, don't leave us hanging like this, cant you explain to your Mrs that you are a trail blazer involved in ground breaking technology and have to report to a World Wide Community ? Sid

The GoPro HD is a very capable performer for Aerial Imaging, particularly now that the latest Firmware supports Live Video out ? The fisheye effect and sensor sensitivity to vibes being its drawbacks, but they can be resolved. Sid

Very strange indeed.......... one would imagine Australia might be on their Radar too. I wonder how our Asian friends reacted to the application ?

Yeah, this unrelenting wind is bad for business............. One of Obamas Helis is still sitting in Dublin Airport having been damaged whilst landing in Mondays Gale.

OK..... it is becoming obvious that we need a Legal mind on this one. I approached a Patent Company with an idea for a Golf Swing improvement device(not another one, I hear you say) some years back and whilst my idea was inventive to some degree, the expert said; I am reading between the line...

mmm ! ....... thought I had seen something like it in the past, AsTec, the big hitters.............. a H8 with converging verticals ? Do we need the Legal Dept. on this one ? Interested to see what your Patent research throws up. Good idea on the dedicated thread............... Dave...

Very interesting idea............... are you saying that your captured image was over painted almost like a painting by numbers approach ? I know PS has an 'Oil on canvas' and Water colour effect which I have used on some old Castles. Sid

Yeah !...... very interesting. I wonder if it would be practical to have a modular design, could help greatly with transportation etc. Dave(Droider) made reference to a frame design contribution from MRF to honour the CC ? ......... maybe we should explore this config. ? Jeremy where art...

Welcome back to the crazy world of Aerial Imaging !...... I've been shooting mixed numbers at Golf Courses for the past 40 years and Aerial shots these past 3 years but the weather here has been terrible this past month so all flights grounded. Good luck in your shoot...

Excellent progress ............. one step closer to the release. That Octo V frame is growing on me and makes a lot of sense for AVP ? Sid

Dave, It was obvious from the early days that certain individuals with commercial interests felt threatened by your project. Their vain attempts to thwart your efforts with negative input is childish behaviour to say the least and the release of the CC board is a testament of the resolve and...

Bart, Had my MyVu's out last evening and they work great for LoS and a framing glance. Using a 900mhz, 200 mw and the stock antennae from RangeVideo. Notice some picture deterioration at about 200yds, I am sure a Patch Antenna would improve matters for me. Never had any interference issues...

Ross, If you are in an urgent need to go Octo wit GPS and Nav.................... check out the UAVX board, full support too ! Sid

Very interesting thoughts and observations guys.................... there comes a stage in all of this where we reach a point of no return. This dilemma is fueled by the technological advances and creative endeavours of individuals. It is a human trait that our level of expectation increases...

........ the game changing community that is ' OpenPilot' Synergy at its best..... yes its 'CC' for the minor platforms and the 'Pro' board for the work horse ? Sid

Even before the motors spin, the image appears soft................ clean the lenses and do a hand test and compare before chasing vibes and different modes. 720P is not as prone to the dreaded 'jello' as 1080p.
