I haven't given up on the camera, and I am not sure. I did, however, sell my S1000. I don't do this for a profession and simply was too expensive/stressful for me! haha.

I took my Phantom 2 with H3-3D to Northern Michigan's Bay Harbor for the weekend to share some scenes with all of you. It is 1/10th the cost of my previous setup (S1000 with 5DIII), but I think the results can be pretty decent when you really take the time to learn how to get the most out of the...

sorry no, i will remove it now

From the S1000, probably about 100 minutes total, 1 minute used.

While I prepared and practice for autopilot flights with the 2.4 ghz bluetooth datalink via my iPad while at home, I never ended up using it in the field, primarily due to the absence of cell service (i couldn't download any maps, and hadn't pre-loaded them when i had the chance when i was in...

Thanks! It performed very well. Here are some things I learned: (1) consider buying a carry case that allows the system to be transported assembled. I had to disassemble/reassemble the arms, gimbal, and landing gear before every commercial flight. They now sell cases that are expensive...

I just took my S1000 to the Southwest, I strongly encourage ALL of you to take your multirotors there - it sure beats all of the shots from my back yard and local football field! https://vimeo.com/93111033

Great to hear, and good thinking. If I were you, I would definitely not sacrifice the BTU, primarily because you would be cutting off the main method of the system communicating with you and/or warning you (the LED). The hub will add weight, but might be easier to find than the cord. I buy...

Hi Kaptankaos, I made the following diagram to show you exactly how my 2.4 ghz datalink is hooked up to my A2 (and verified working during yesterday's test flight). I took snapshots of a couple portions of DJI literature and highlighted in pink exactly where I plugged in and with what type of...

Farmer Fred, I had to come back into this forum and first of all thank you again for your advice but ALSO let you know that even after your warning I STILL managed to forget about the having some throttle ready for the change over from auto-pilot to my tx. Boy, did she fall fast! Luckily, I...

kaptanakoas: today on my S1000, i hooked the air end right up to the PMU on the A2 and it worked fine on with my iPad mini -- with the exception of flight simulator mode, as I had been warned (running iOS7). I also tried it on the WKM with my S800 EVO (on the WKM i hooked into the gps port) and...

Thanks a ton for the input, especially for the advice about applying throttle in advance (in preparation of jumping back to transmitter control) -- I would have never thought of that and definitely would have needed a new pair of shorts following the unexpected loss of altitude! I am going to...

I know this sounds a bit anal, but it is better to be safe than sorry: is there a way to set a Futaba transmitter (mine is the 8G, for example) to beep or warn me if I have my landing gear switch in the retract position? That way when I fire up my tx I have a basically idiot-proof way of...

Hi, Before I officially make my maiden autopilot launch via Ground Station with my iPad, I am taking every precaution and educating myself first -- especially after I have heard (and seen) how "flight simulator" mode does not work on my iPad mini (which the forums seems to say is to be expected...

The best way to know if it is b.s. or not is probably to call another distributor and pretend you are looking to buy, ask if they have any production or supply issues. I got mine the day it came out from IntelligentUAS (1-855-YES-1UAS). I get almost everything from them, I have been dealing...

Thanks, Tahoe Ed. So are you saying that in iOS 7.xx everything should work fine with the only exception being simulator mode? In other words, do you think it is reliable enough for me to use with my $10K S1000,A2, and Canon 5D Zenmuse?! Haha. I'm thinking maybe I will take off the camera and...

Kaptankaos: I have been reading inside other forums that the iPad GS software has a lot of bugs in it ever since Apple upgraded their iPad software to iOS7. Today, I am going to try connecting straight to the ground station using my laptop and a USB cable. I'll let you know the results.

This kind of stuff terrifies me. I think sometimes we think, "wouldn't happen to me" or "can't happen to me" -- and then you read through descriptions like these where the pilots seem to know exactly what they are doing down to every detail, and the system fails them. I'm almost scared to take...
