I'm waiting for delivery of my new X8+ and have a few configuration questions (parts mostly)
1- I haven't seen a camera caddy/mount available the same as the one that's part of the X8-M package
2- Which is the interface cable from the Canon sx260 that connects to the PixHawk?
3- What do I need for the MP computer to get the realtime feedbcak from the X*+ mission underway?
Thanks, in advance for help on these questions!

1. 3DR sells a mapping package with the a pixhawk and rasdios (https://store.3drobotics.com/products/multicopter-mapping-electroni...) or if you have access to a 3D printer, there are several designs on Thingeverse and Shapeways. I'm using a modified version of this one on my Y6 - http://www.shapeways.com/product/HZUUEU8J5/camera-case-front?li=mor...
2. Search the internet for the cable, there are also instructions in the Ardupilot wiki page. I built mine from a e-flite light switch (http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/381264786362?lpid=82&chn=ps).
3. You need a set of telemetry radios (915 MHz or 433 MHz) - https://store.3drobotics.com/products/3dr-radio-433_mhz?taxon_id=34
