Anybody using APM 2.5 for Cam Stabilization only without the GPS? I have a board without the built in GPS. I ask as I have heard of some jitter issues when the GPS is not connected and I'm not sure what minimum connections must be made on the board to get it to work-my quick test didn't work.Thanks!See More

"Deans systems are not just promising, they are excellent!! I have used one for years (1.8) and it has many features that I just love. I guess for many people this will be the first time they have ever heard of them."

Krzysztof Bosak commented on Petroni's blog post Possible R/C or UAV in the news again....."In the article we can witness some tendency for oversimplicity and fearmongering:
"Three years ago, a bird strike took down a commercial airliner that managed to land safely in the Hudson River. "
