"I manage to get it working. Just follow the LED connection section and then use the same electronic chip as recommended for the apm1. Instead of 12V I use the 5V from the APM2.5 as power source and it works fine."
Please help.I have setup my camera trigger according to Arducopter wiki pages. I am using pin AN9 and also use ch7 (trigger camera). Good news is if I measure the signal pin of AN9 I can see it goes high (4.65V) when I trigger ch7. Bad news if I…

That is awesome. You have not done test on a trex600 as yet? I suspect the PID values should be very much the same.....
Anybody that has tried it on a trex600? Please share also PID values...

"@Crondelaar, I agree with you. Fying the copter or plane FPV (accending and decending) to have the least vibrations is a challenge not to mention getting the perfect shot."
"@Andre, You can see these guys have been around for some time. I would still be scared to fly over people even if I have the latest and best equipment. There is still the risk factor. But it is very good material."
