It would be eaisest to just add the mobius and use the installed camera for FPV only.

Shipping Costs from the China warehouse has killed more than one transaction for me from hobby king. It sucks because they really do have a great selection and good prices. I always try to get my stuff domestically when I can.

Yep, if you watch the videos explaining the project the producer was involved in Flite Test and a couple of the guys from flite test are in the film. I wonder how they dampened the sound of the quad and still got good audio from the actors.

Yeah it turns out the project is finished so you can view all the episodes. I thought the writing and story line could have been a lot better but I still liked it a lot. Very cool overall despite the gaps in the story and lack of zombies, lol. Very professionally made, loved watching the behind...

found this series of you tube videos called "rotor drone DR1". It's an apocalyptic end of the world type film that drones play a major role in. I have only got through a couple of episodes so far but I like it a lot. Unknown disease wipes out most of mankind but before that drones were a...

Pretty awesome! Best way to learn! Your almost at journeyman level.

Yep. You can pick up a flamewheel 450 kit with the Naza M lite with GPS for around $350. It will include motors and ESC's too. Then all you need is some batteries and a charger and of course a radio.

Hobby king and others have rtf quad packages that are less than a phantom 2. It would be an upgrade from the small quads an put you in the 350 class size quad. There's 2 or 3 out there that get decent reviews.

Magix movie edit pro 2014. It was about $100. It's okay I guess, I don't really have anything to compare it to. Windows movie maker is not that great. I have a gopro and the free editing software that they offer does well for others but I had problems with it. My requirements were to cut and...

Good old you tube, I would be lost without them.

I think recommended gains are supposed to be higher than 100. Mine are around 135 or so, I would have to hook it up to be sure. The gains effect pitch and yaw so I don't know if throttle is affected. The lower the setting the more sluggish and mushy the controls are. Wouldn't think voltage would...

I can ascend, hover and turn, now I need to learn to actually fly while filming. LOL

And their letting developers create apps for it as well so it can do even more. With a narrower lens they got rid of the fisheye thats so common with these videos. DJI is top of the line but everyone is getting in the game. You can get a full sized FPV quad from hobbyking for $450.

Fully controllable 360 degree gimbal. FPV that transmits in HD. Stabilized video up to 4k resolution. Retractable landing gear. Really cool looking quad. Between $3000 and $4000 out the door but it would cost probably more to build a quad of that caliber by yourself. This technology is really...

Not sure if you guys are on the DJI mailling list but they are hyping a big announcement tonight of a new product that their unveiling. DJI products are pretty good so I hope this is not a let down after they hyped it up.
