As Bart says; 550D/T2i???

I'll have a look, cheers Andy. I have a feeling its all probably not worth the hassle, but might be fun just to play about with. Were you timing riders on the Fort Bill DH course? I wish I could view your last mtb video post, but I'm out at sea at the Elgin/Franklin palava and our connection is...

The particular camera I've just been using is a canon G5 controlling it subsea with 232 converted to 485 because of the line length. The wireless USB has a low range the wireless 232 Tx/Rxhas a range of up to 1800m, this one looks suitable, it a wholesale link though...

Generally accepted means of camera control are camremote, gentles or plain old trigger servo. all basically Rx pulse controlled and limited to varying degrees. Been mulling over use of rs232 comms for full unlimited camera control. only limiting factor being the need for a laptop. Anyone doing...

I have Sandisk, happy enough, but never compared to anything else, I probably wouldnt be anle to tell the difference anyway!

I'n not sure on the finer details and like I said this was just said verbally. but I came away with the impression that if the change was not too major then that would be the case. Hopefully somebody else might be able to clarify. I would still advise anyone thinking of doing the BNUC be very...

I feel your pain Ross, I was hammering the sticks training with 450 heli's and planes for the BMFA-A and then the change. good thing was, it was generic, by type (FW/rotary) unlike the BNUC. this is my main gripe with the BNUC-S...It is specific to that single SUAS. Having said that, I have...

If I'm using a Naza I use its inbuilt monitoring and never fall below 3.6v. otherwise i use one of the small cheap audible alarms that connects to the charging plug of the battery, also set to 3.6v http://quadcopters.co.uk/lipo-battery-warning-alarm-buzzer-1-8s-182-p.asp

Yeah I think the BMFA will need to review there tests in line with advancing technology.....FBL Heli's etc.

Is it a GP1 or 2 you have? if its a 2 you can set the FOV to narrow in 1080.

Was they with your J1 Gunter, I think I recognise its unique image quality, its nice, good in low light. nice shots, shame you didnt have some more time up north to do some of the castles and ruins about Moray. If your up this way again, give us a shout, on the MR front, its lonely up here.

Many people on here have invested a masssive amount of time money and hair on developing a service to a standard which is marketable.I guess they dont want every swinging **** buying a readily available RTF rig and de-valuing an industry. The burgeoning MR thing is good for manufacturers and...

You probably want to get a honeybee or such like to do all your 'ground interceptions' with!! F550 could get costly.

As long as you have all your orientations sussed its fine, its basically like flying a regular rc heli, but with slow rate of yaw. start of with low rates and a good bit of expo. and keep it close. cheap fixed pitch helis like the honeybee are great for learning and dont cost much to repair...

All covered previously thanks Ross. I haven't missed your point either I just look at things in another way If you dont have commercial aims, then whats your problem? quit your whinging. My boiler broke down 2 weeks ago, I had to pay an engineer £250 for 15min work. why because he was a CORGI...

your biting your nose off to spite your face Ross! Seize the benefits and stop focusing on the money, its not that hekin much, try and get any professional certificationl for cheap. you could make it back in a couple of days with your quality work and eqpt for quacks sake!!

Have you considered mast photography Pete?

The gopro is an ironic camera, because it is as well suited to AP as it is Ill-suited. It ticks all the boxes, but you still just dont get great results, (not bad, just not great). and the way it handles colour, and light and the wide angle will bug the hell out of you. but its so bloody...

I was getting a problem with jello effect for a while, I found that one of my motor shafts was just slightly bent, I changed this but still had some jello, I balanced my props which improved things a little. what vibration there was left I took care of with Align anti vibration gel, (similar or...

I'm sure one of the more reputable MR vendors would put you a custom package together including hardware.
