"A conventional, commercial heavy lifting Quadrotor airframe was used to ensure versatility for a wide range of applications, with the aircraft’s AUW at 9.5 kg ... "
"is there any video of this plane and flights?"
"General idea of serial communication with a camera is about two steps:
Step 1 - define constants/commands
byte zoom_teleVar[6]= {0x81, 0x01, 0x04, 0x07, 0x27, 0xFF}; //Zoom In: 81 01 04 07 2x FF , where x is speed- 0(low)-7(hi);byte zoom_wideVar[6]=…"

"Sony FCB camera communication protocol: https://pro.sony.com/bbsccms/assets/files/mkt/indauto/manuals/FCB-E... (starting on page 38)
I can post simple code for arduino, which allows to communicate with Sony FCB camera."
I can post simple code for arduino, which allows to communicate with Sony FCB camera."
"With Sony FCB cameras you actually don't need a controller for serial communication, if you don't want to. It's good to have one like iShot EM12338 interface board, but you can always try to connect directly to the camera."
"I made similar setup with Sony FCB 980S camera, but I use Serial communications to control camera and gimbal, I think it's more reliable vs RC channels. "
"What motors do you use for this camera gimbal? "
"I've seen the price somewhere, it's about $20K"
"I believe that's related to special rules and permissions for civil aviation flights in that area. But a quad on a back yard is not a civil aviation and does not require FAA approval.

"But there are no active TFRs in DC/MD/VA area as of today - http://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.jsp?p=list&type=all&sort=d&......
And I believe those areas should not be permanently grayed out, there are at least two (!) AMA fields in that area - DCRC club…"

Does anybody know how to turn off this white overlay? That's Washington, DC area, but you can find such white spots all over the map. It seems that it came with the latest release.mission planner.jpg
"I agree with you on antennas. My model is FPV Raptor V2. What do you mean, when saying two antennas? (sorry I'm not a tech guru with ubiquiti :) )"
"as far as I understand, Rocket M5 vs M900 is all about frequency... and I feel like with 900mghz you can reach a longer distance than with 5ghz"
"With Arduplane (APM:plane) flight controller sometimes you don't need low latency to observe the plane position/movement etc, as you can do automatic flights or 'point-and-click' flights with a mission planner. But HD Video link is still important,…"
"sounds good, I have no limitation for a ground base station antenna, but what about TX antenna? are there any compact options?"
"I was looking for 10+ km range with M900, is that possible?
btw, for me latency is not important at all, i'm not going to use HD camera as an FPV camera"
