I have just finished the opening stages on adding my (now working!) camera system to my Nexstar EP:
The camera is held on to the NexStar's removable canopy by two zip ties run through several small slits I cut into it, and are strong enough I can hold the canopy upside down and move it around with no signs of stress. The transmitter is held on in a similar fashion on the top of the left landing gear. I still need to clean up the wiring inside, so I'm not going to post any pictures of that just yet ;) . If anyone is interested, I have a run-up test with the engine; the prop moves so fast it doesn't hinder the camera at all.Once I get this all figured out, I’ll get my EzOSD in line as well, and from there I’ll start figuring out the ArduPilot and whatnot. My only concern is the wireless telemetry; I’m using 2.4GHz for the video and the standard Channel 42 for the NexStar itself.Judging from the pictures, what does it look like I've done well and what do I need to change?
