Let's hope the main FPV camera isn't the GoPro, ask anyone who's been doing FPV for more than a week and they'll tell you the GoPro is a terrible FPV camera. Most CMOS based camera's are pretty crap for FPV. TBS doesn't use the GoPro…"

"I installed the largest of the three Qt packages for Windows as there isn't any clear way to tell which one is which. I still get the error I received before install Qt that Nick mentions above. I suppose its really a Tech Preview ;)"
"My issue with the LED is its position. The reason the NAZA has a loosed LED module that you position on its own is for visibility. Get the vehicle up past eye level and that LED becomes useless. With the NAZA's (not a NAZA/DJI fan at all, btw) you…"
