Anyone using this camera? Thoughts or opinions? I was thinking it might be nice to serve dual roles as both an AP cam & point & shoot for pics around town.

I have been looking into Ardupilot & openpilot and that is a possibility, but to be honest, I would like to take a lot of the guess work out of it. It seems that having a kit that was made to all work together would be a lot easier to deal with in the long run. The tricopter I have now started...

Good luck! It sounds like you might have had a four leaf clover in your pocket, or was it the rabbits foot? That could have been total disaster, but I'm glad it wasn't. Well, if you aren't wrecking once in a while, you aren't learning. ;-)

And these are the reasons that I'm thinking about building a MK. I do everything by hand, including designing & building the craft, but the idea of having GPS way-points mapped out, position & altitude hold is calling out to me! I can't imagine how fun FPV would be under those conditions. ;-)...

So has anyone else seen this article today on Endgadet? I guess they are using MK hexa's to help count crops on the west coast of the US. http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/09/six-rotor-drone-counts-trees-not-kills/

I think those are what crash started out with for his FPV build? Seems like a lot of light can get in around the sides.

Bart, it is not the easiest thing to pull them down your nose like that. Personally, I try to fly 100% in the goggles including landing & taking off. For me, I start to get confused if I switch between goggle & normal views. Just the differences in lighting can be enough to make me loose...

Yup, sure thing Dave. I'll probably have some time tonight to get something posted.

I've only ever flown with the Fat Sharks, but I can't recommend them enough. I'm thrilled with my purchase.

So I finally got some decent weather here and got a little more time in the goggles. 5 batteries all together yesterday. I had some of the gains cranked up so there is a little wobble side to side, but nothing I cant tune out. This flight was much more successful than any of my previous ones...

It seems like I can only find calm skies at sunrise right now, so I hit the park just after dawn yesterday and shot a little video. This is all shot via FPV and was really practice for another video I have in mind. I'm hoping to wrap that up sometime in June.
