"Auction has ended. Will post more soon."
"Should have put more specs. By the way this is 30hz system so we cannot export. Sorry but if you are not in the US and US citizen you should not bid on it. We may have some 9hz cores coming up that are exportable. If you meet the export criteria…"
"Sorry I should have posted more. See the reply above to initial post with more info. Price is up to $295 on Ebay now and the bidding closes in 6 hours."
We have some left over thermal imager cores. These are the internal infrared camera engines that are in finished products. We have it listed on Ebay as a no reserve auction. current high bid is $255 as of 5-19-2014 5pm.L3 Thermal-Eye thermal…
"Sorry, we have been away from the forum for a while. The M1-D is moving really well and being used/tested by a number of UAV manufacturer/integrators. We have looked at the feedback from the board and there are solutions out there that convert the…"
"Sorry guys I am on a big presentation at the moment but I am still working the UAV project. I should have more info and time to get back into this around 3rd week in January. Keep the suggestions coming we are listening."
"Just back in office today. Keep the information coming we are looking at everyones suggestions and trying to move forward with some ideas."
"Hunter,
Yes we are just getting into this small UAV market. We have been in thermal and the pan tilt market for many many years and the M1-D is our latest thermal pan tilt product. From the marketing side I have seen a lot of interest from the…"

I think you are both right. For rotor craft it is more important than fixed wing."

"Erik,
Ahhh that dreaded third degree of rotation! Yes that would be top of the line to open up the potential of 3 axis stabilization. But alas I fear this will not happen. This would truly become a complete re engineering effort or as Steven G…"

Along with a stand alone module we are also trying to look at integration of our motors into the PWM format to interface directly with the autopilot gear. Our video is standard analog NTSC and we understand that most people are…"

I appreciate your comments and take no disrespect. We use GoPRO quite a bit for marketing videos and such and those things are truly awesome. Terrible sound but the picture and form factor is unbelievable for $200. The Hero3 is even smaller…"

We are very familiar with those cores but they are not low cost. 640 is out of the question in this price range. So does everyone agree that the primary use for this would be FPV night operation? Is anyone collecting ground based data with…"

Looks like you are having a relevant discussion to what we were just discussing here in house. Our guys know almost nothing about RC gear. Our motors are stepper motors with a 4 wire configuration operating on 4 volt (I am not the…"

Interesting. We don't use servos but I believe they are stepper motors (I will check with engineering on that). So how would the APM control this? What would we need to provide in the way of interface? Can you recommend a good developer kit…"
