Thanks.

I'm currently assembling a quad for the same purpose I intend to use the quad software itself to stabilize the camera.

Which antennas are you using for the video tx/rx?
I just ordered a new inverted wee for the TX and I need to order now a patch for the RX.


I found the stock antennas to be really bad, specially the one from the TX that had a problem causing interferences. (the internal cord seems to be damaged)
I'm not wanting bigger range as the quad has limited range itself, but the best image quality.

As you can see on the back of the plane there is 3db omni antenna. The same is on the ground.They work just fine for me. Don`t see the point getting something deferent, unless you going to fly very long range. As my video system works over 2-3km its enough form me. I'm awaiting as well for Dragon link UHF (long range module), so will have my plane in control for 10km, but i wont fly that far, as i don`t need to.  all i want is to get 2km without any glitch and come back safe.
Next month Dosd v2 should be back for sale, so will get this as well, as it has autopilot in case you got some trouble with the plane, it drives back to same position as you started flowing gps signal.
For the quality of the video make sure to get proper camera. Cause cheap ones it just nightmare. But you can use your gopro for live flights. Its just not good in the dark.

Exactly I don't plan to go far way with it as like I said I can't either.
The quad eats alot of amps the range is short.

I'll be using the GoPro in the future but for now for testing I'm using a normal camera.

I've read good reviews on the DragonOSD gear but has I already had most parts from EagleTree that was my choice. I'm waiting for their OSD pro that also has RTH. Only problem is that the system doesn't have support for quads so the solution is to couple the GPS signal with the Quad software as well and have it control the auto-level and RTH.

for best tricopter stabilization is a KK system. I heard hobby king should start selling them soon. Its much better than gyros with flymentor or other similar system. Friend of mine is flying with KK, He said it so easy. You can let it go at any time, and it stays were you left in same level. he never tryed on quad, but it should work as good as on tricopter.

I know those has I have some. ;)
The other video that I posted with the GoPro is a Quad using a KK board.

But I'm building a better one, in terms of stability, the KK is great for acrobatics but doesn't have features like auto-level or altitude hold.
I'm just waiting for some cables and I should have the new quad ready soon. I'll share some videos later on.

I seen some youtube videos when quad has some unnamed stabilization. Works great, only thing you have to build them your self. Im not much int to ironing such a small things. But looking forward to get quad me self. Hopefully till that time there will be ready to fly systems for them.
Seen today someone was flying quad in Dundalk, but in a state, so couldn't get in to the backyard for a chat :)

I have one already that I built up.  :wink:
Thanks anyway!



It's ver.2.0 but it's the same, ver.3.0 doesn't bring anything interesting appart from a extra set of i2c connection pads.

Hello, this is my friends Evaldas and his plane that he uses for video and arial fotos. I see this plane when I visited Vilnuis in March, very very interesting plane. Evaldas has a gimble that rotas his camera through 360 degrees. His video footage is awesome.
Evaldas flys the plane and second man operates the camera with a live link to the ground so that the camera operator can see live pictures and control the camera.

My plane is the same as his, or even bigger. But have the same look. Its most popular platform for AP and AV in Lithuania.

Here is my last Flight in Gormanston co Louth

Labas :)
Im doing everything on my own. Just my camera dont have 360 funktion. What i have is tilt function. But that is enought, becouse i have stabiliser in plane and big ruder, so i can turn plane without any swing keeping horisont strait.
But most important thing is a rite plane for AP. If you want to do only fpv flight, glider will suit you :)

Labas Liutas, can you please post some photos of your plane and camera setup.

Yesterday I was on mountain flying a DG600 glider, winds were making it very exciting.
I had my wee camera taped to the wing and made alot of flight with camera at different angles. I then change position of camera to the elevator.
When I land plane camera had dissapeared.    :shock:
Sheep on mountain will be eating it  :cry:  :cry:

Also question on your camera, do you us a gopro camera ?

Dėkojame už Jūsų pagalbą!

Rychard, i posted pics of my plane one page back in this forum. Page 8

My Setup
FY 20 A RC Flight Stabilization System
EZOSD WITH CURRENT SENSOR AND GPS
850 mW 1,3 Ghz Video System
SpyCam™ Miniature Video CCTV Camera with Audio
3D Video Glasses

Still awaiting for dragonlink. It takes so long for them to make new ones :)

Sorry for your camera los. you have to fix it realy hard, to make suore you not gona loose it. I already had 3 cameras crashed. But that was with other unlucky plane i had. This one is so smooth to fly, so easy to control.

Camera on board i had is jx250 fuji film. Havent got go pro yet. But my birthday is next month, so dont mind to get it :D

Hi Lads,

I am new here (and in RC in general), so please be patient :wink: Could you summarize legality issue for me? I am thinking about Turnigy 9x 2,4Ghz apparatus and LawMate TX/RX 500mW 1.2GHz for video transmission. I went trough PDF files posted on the first page, but I am still unsure (and update released in the December). Is it even legal to transmit video on 1.2?GHz Is 2.4GHz apparatus legal in Ireland?

This is not my firs hobby with such a problems here :?
