"Looks interesting, but like the usb port on the Garmin is in a different location from the GoPro so the fixed FPV plug on the Tarot would need to be freed up or relocated? I am going to try the cheap option SJ4000 first. I am done with GoPro. I…"
"Did some more research and it looks like the SJ4000 cam should work. But looks like I will need to replace the GoPro mini USB cable on the Iris with one that has a micro USB plug... also picked up one of those. Not too bad if this works. Worth $40…"
"OK, a typo above. The throttle channel seems to work but the right stick (needed to arm disarm and maneuver) does not. I just tested her again tied down, armed with tower, ran the throttle up, but no reaction to slewing the right stick or to…"
"What I was thinking is that if the GPS database includes elevation (maybe a bad assumption?) that when you load waypoints into Pixhawk you could specify AGL relative to each waypoint instead of relative to takeoff elevation. Seems that would be far…"

"Yes, Indeed, I could still use the cover and I am in the US. PM sent."
"I am in the same boat. I e-mailed 3DR, too, but never heard back. Not that my Iris+ has behaved badly but can't hurt to have the mast... plus I think it looks cool. But I don't want to pay for a whole new UBLOX to get the cover. Maybe Jimmy…"
"BTW, I found the arducopter mission planning wiki... I promise to spend some time there instead of just flying blind with MP so to speak."
