"I saw his mount using the GoPro parts, pretty cool, that's what reminded me to post this.
I've been using this for about 6 months now and it's worked great, haven't had any range problems. Here's a side view of it at operating angle and the radio…"

Here's my 5 minute mount using two pieces of scrap plexiglass, standoff screws, zip ties, and two of my daughter's hair bands. It did want to hang a little backward with the weight of the Nexus on there but I used a couple of velcro straps around…
Last year I guess I lucked out and bought a 6' piece of 3/4" square tubing from Lowes that was a bit thicker walled than the 3DR arms, but now when I have been to several Lowes stores the same SKU# is 1/16" (.062") thick walled and feels so much…
"My interference was over 300% of mag field yet after running the compassmot it stays perfectly in line whereas before it wold drift almost 90 degrees at times. "
"Finally caved and bought a Nexus 7 to use with this, works great!
Feature request: a good, very visible indication of the forward direction of the quad on the map (like the red line in mission planner). My use for a tablet in the field vs. a…"

"Are all the tablets and phones that this has been tested with been able to power up the 3DR radio?"
"Thanks guys! I'm using VMware Fusion with Windows 7 installed. "
This was my first guided flight a couple of months ago, just getting around to posting it. Video is shot with my iPhone in hand, make sure to view in HD.
"I went back out to the big field this morning and everything performed perfectly. Compass direction was dead on, loiter was great, and I flew two different waypoint missions. My auto-learned compass offsets have always been good and they remained…"
I went out flying a couple of hours ago and noticed some really weird stuff going on like where loiter would start out ok and then begin to swoop around bigger and bigger until I would have to take over in a panic and after looking at everything my…
"What plastic/composite frame is that that Alan has? "
A couple weeks ago I unplugged my power module cable and it took the part of the socket off the APM with it just leaving the bare pins sticking up off the board. I carefully reinstalled it and put about half a drop of superglue on each end of it to…
"As I've mentioned a few times, I have not put any foam under my APM 2.5 on a home built frame that copys the B frame specs and the APM is held to the carrier plate with a 1/2 x 2" strip of 3M automotive molding tape(can be seen here in this…"
I was just curious to see how different people had their APMs and other electronics arranged and mounted, so please join in by posting pictures of your setup. Also, I'd like ideas on mounting the 3DR radio because they way I have it now I'm worried…
"Now that 2.9 is out I'm itching more to try the C frame, has anyone compared the two?"
"Yea, I have several spare motors on order. And this video is from yesterday afternoon in less (but still some) wind. This is the kind of video performance I've always gotten except for the post above."
