"I did it with a 3-pos (F) and a 2 pos (D)switch on the WFT09.  First assign ch5 to the F switch in the auxilary channels menu item. Then set ch5 endpoints to -80% +50% in the endpoints menu item. Then go to "advanced".  I assume…"

"I would love to see a step-by-step on how you did that (or at least more info). I'm gathering info on building a quad and that sounds very interesting.    "

"Turnigy 9x + FrSky has been working well for me. If I were buying one now I would probably get it from http://parkeflyer.com/transmitters/fs-th9x.html . The model they sell has the easily detachable default module (FlySky)."

The perfect quadcopter camera?

Posted on August 3, 2012 at 12:30pm 22 Comments

I love my Canon mark 2 and gopro camera but it's absolutely terrible as a quadcopter camera.

The vibrations coupled with the CMOS sensor wrecks the whole image beyond repair.

Nearly all of today's cameras are made with CMOS sensors rather than the classical CCD sensor because CMOS offers better image quality and at lower power consumption... But there's a heavy cost…
