"Shoulder mount cameras are heavy, expensive, delicate and require lots of fingers to operate. (as do the smaller canons that are designed for professional handheld use.) How do you plan to control zoom, focus, iris, pan and tilt at a minimum on…"
"I can't give a reply that you'll find directly useful, because I've got little experience with coptors... or ANYTHING on that scale.
But I hope that when you say you know it's a big undertaking you understand that this means both expensive and…"

"I don't have specific experience with the AIOP, but since the arduplaneng firmware is ported from the normal arduplane, I THINK this advice is still correct.
For a three channel plane (no ailerons) you connect the rudder to the AILERON channel of…"

"It's really something in-between. The DEA absolutely CAN come into a state that allows medical marijuana use and arrest all those cancer patients. But in 2009 the Justice Department issued a statement that they wouldn't be investigating or…"
"It IS wrong of me to use my drone or any other device to take pictures through my neighbor's windows or over their privacy fence into their backyard. We all know that 'drones' have a PR problem... one of the ways to get over that is that we should…"
"You can upload a new or updated flight plan in the air, as long as the telemetry link is working, and you can also make a looping flight plan by using the "Jump" feature in the mission planner. That way it can loop a series of waypoints a set…"
"First off - I fly in Oklahoma where the ground is flat and so I haven't USED verify height. But according to the manual, it doesn't exactly do what you want, because it only checks and adjusts the ground altitude at waypoints. By default, the…"
"It seems to me that exception 6 is good - As long as you have the property owner or occupant's permission you can shoot all you want. That's a good rule to keep yourself out of trouble with any video recording. And a prosecutor has to prove…"
"I"m a little uncomfortable with this conversation...
One of the forum rules here is that we don't discuss military applications of UAVs.
If you're looking for a drone for a military or government application I really don't think a cheap…"

"Ardupilot should keep running if it loses a GPS fix, which it will above that altitude, so you don't need any sort of reboot... if it gets a fix back it should start using it.
As you think about design... a couple of concerns. One - it's going to…"

"I've been nibbling around the edges of the code for a few weeks myself. Are you two asking about tutorials on using the code as is to get a plane flying itself, or about an overview of what does what so you can start really coding to modify…"
"Seeking a little clarification...
Once the IMU V3 firmware is finished and the code released (I read somewhere that should happen next month?)
Will it be possible to plug the V3 IMU into the Ardupilot Mega 2.0 board and have a functional…"

"I'm also very interested in this...
I've really just started going through the Arduplane code, but from what I've got of it so far it LOOKS like navigation towards a waypoint is done by 2 dimensional bearing... so if it crosses the waypoint at a…"
