    Purposed shopping list for adding telemetry and FPV to my pixhawk controlled F550. An

    For the telemetry to my laptop I was thinking of getting the hobby king 915mhz kit[1] . Is there any difference between this and the 3DR kit[2] ? For FPV I was thinking of starting with the readymaderc.com 1.3Ghz kit[3] . Before I commit to 1.3Ghz, would there be any interference issues with...

    Pixhawk setup, not receiving commands from my DX18.

    GoPro alternatives?

    Suggest a charger!

    Currently I am building a F550, and after this I want to build a bigger platform for a sony nex and some day a SLR carrying multicopter. Can anyone suggest a charger that I can start with and will be happy with and not want to replace as I build? Bonus: Suggest a pair of batteries for the F550

    Thinking of F550, can it lift this payload (sony nex 5t w/ 2axis gimbal + more)

    I want to be able to use a pixhawk+GPS controller, a small FPV camera, sony nex 5t, video switch between cameras, FPV, telemetry, 2 axis gimbal for the nex. Will the F550 be able to lift this and be a reliable filming platform or should I be looking at larger craft?

    Moving from 180 QX to larger pixhawk+GPS controlled, what frame?

    I want to move to a larger copter that is Pixhawk and GPS controlled. What would be a good frame to carry the pixhawk and GPS? Eventually I want to add FPV+OSD, and camera + gimbal, probably all on another frame, but want to take it slow and just work on GPS for now. I have considered a DJI...
