I have been through the whole gamut when it comes to shutter release in an Aerial Platforms. There are broadly two approaches.....with or without a downlink, some of the Kite AP guys insist on shooting blind, they feel it adds to the element of expectation. The downlink approach is indispensable...

OK !.............you have a very specific need. Does that involve interval shooting of high res. RAW or Jpeg. Will you use a downlink for framing or eyeball it?? Sid

Dave,.......Great, nothing like a few days off after long days. Flying conditions are good for tomorrow and Sat. Hope all your expected bits arrive.

When I stated 'a difference', I meant a difference in image quality. The FOV difference to me is only discernable in the Aerial shots from the extreme fisheye effect in 170* FOV. So, it will be interesting to see what effect the Sunex lense mod. has with its FOV?

So its the YT syndrome................well that's good, in that it is not attributed to camera or mount. I did the firmware upgrade and PAL gives me 50 FPS. I mostly use r5 1080p and noticed a difference between it and 720p while some claim there is no difference ? Sid

Ken,.....Been checking out the Hoverfly Pro development history on a video forum. They have come a long way since those early attempts at flight with the Quadpowered board. I dont intend to lift a 5Dmk11 and glass in fact the GoPro HD gives a remarkable image most of the time, notwithstanding...

I'd be very surprised if they don't have interval shooting..........in the absence of a remote trigger I use a micro servo positioned on the camera for shutter release and use a spare rx channel, works flawlessly. A much more convenient feature is AV out !

Dave, Two cameras worthy of consideration are : http://www.dpreview.com/previews/panasonicdmcgh2/ http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonynex5nex3/ They tick many of the boxes for AVP ...

Ken, Nice !.....So the Sunex lense mod addresses the 'fisheye effect'. I always felt the GoPro HD had exposure issues. Will be good to see some stable footage in good light to see what affect if any the Sunex lense has on exposure. In your pans I noticed some motion judder, what mode...

Bart, Ken............thanks for your welcome and prompt replies. It's nice to be on a Forum where a novice to Multicopters feels at home. In the past I got the feeling that some unanswered questions was an indication of my intrusion. I want to put this RCAP hobby on a commercial footing and...

I'm Sid Baldwin...........into AP for some time using different platforms (SkyCam Ireland) Gaui 330X got me hooked on Multicopters, now using UAVX Quad and want to go Y6 or X8 for AV. Thanks for the informative posts....need to decide on a FCB, Frame, mount etc. without breaking the bank ?
