I am using a standard Spectrum 2.4 with battery telemetry module. On the 1.3 I am using channel 7. The 1.3 is tucked away underneath the two carbon plates and the three spectrums are mounted high (2.5") on some insulation board. No line of sight contact.
As the subject of high priced zoom lenses used for high end TV and cinema production was touched on recently. They are actually not that special in terms of optical res. Some of the EOS zooms are actually better. What you pay all that money to correct is a phenomena known as breathing. When you make a large focus change as in a differential focus shot the lens makes a slight zoom at the same time. I don't think we need to worry ourselves too much about that. FWIW....
Done a bit more testing with the S800 on the stiff arms and all is well and building on the reliability aspect. I always still take the precaution of strapping the model down on a workmate, then snapping the throttle open a few times in different modes to check for any motor malfunction. I do this as a pre flight check before each days flying. If it's gona fail then that is probably when....
Also remember to do a range check at the same time.:tennis:
I also avoid the autonomous flight modes when shooting. Coming home etc. mostly I use manual and atti.
GPS will fight you sometimes when you want some freedom.
