"Thanks for the link, John. It looks like the number of downloads is very small so it's difficult to get a sense of its maturity. Do you have any direct experience with this or do you know of anyone that has used it?

Philip Giacalone commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Announcing T-3, Round 3: The Reliability Round"@Chris and Robert -- Right, thanks. That's a new and interesting challenge for me, since I've only used a video camera, to date."
Philip Giacalone commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Announcing T-3, Round 3: The Reliability Round"An interesting idea and challenge. Question, though...

Matthew M commented on Philip Giacalone's blog post Introduction and UDB mode switching question"Thanks Riccardo, I was only suggesting turning it off for debug/test. He doesn't have the GPS yet."
Riccardo Kuebler commented on Philip Giacalone's blog post Introduction and UDB mode switching question"Matthew,
the option to turn GPS off is only for debug. Don't fly with it.
There is a work in progress to have stabilization without GPS, but it is work in progress.
Best regards,
Ric"
