"Attached is one image taken from this camera, at 400 ft agl, while airborne in a flying wing UAV.IMG_0468.JPG"
I have a Canon S100 camera, that has been converted by MaxMax for sale. It was only used a couple of times and is still in like new condition. It comes with a memory card, two batteries, a carrying case, and a charger. Canon Chdk is installed and…
"Sorry I just sold them the other day."
"These items are now sold."
"$140, however I would prefer to sell them with the X8. I do have some interest in the whole package, so if that falls through I will let you know and will sell the camera separate."
"Yes, it can be programmed for autonomous flight via Mission Planner, and believe DroidPlanner as well, although I have not tried that one. As I understand it, Droid Planner is just Mission Planner converted and updated to run on Android. Mission…"
"Sorry for the delay in responding.
I have not researched the Iris much, but I believe it uses the pixhawk controller whereas the X8 I have uses the apm controller. I am sure there are other differences, but like I said, I have not researched the…"

"The main reason I moved to a fixed wing was just to get more capacity, as far as flight times and acres covered. I will be flying this as a service as soon as FAA gets their act together and just wanted something that I could cover more ground…"
"The X8 is working fine. It has been a while since I flew it, but I am pretty sure I had the USB camera trigger function working as well (that is the purpose of the USB cable in the pictures). The propellers have a few scuffs on them and the radio…"
"I was using the Canon SX260. I have one that is not modified. The other was modified by removing the IR filter and putting in a Schott BG3 filter I purchased from Event38.
With the single 4200 mah battery, flight times were around 8 minutes.…"

**SOLD**I have for sale a lightly used 3DR X8 (original model) with APM 2.6. I have used it only a hand full of times, mostly with a camera strapped on the bottom, taking aerial images of crops for agricultural use. This unit has never been…
"Thanks for the picture and info Nigel. Are there any jam nuts or anything that the camera's screw down tight against to prevent movement during flight? I have successfully used both an intervalometer script and also the trigger by distance feature…"
"Nigel, how do you have your camera's mounted if you aren't using a gimbal? I have a 3DR X8 and have tried encasing a camera in several layers of expanded foam, which works okay, but it is not a very user friendly option. Also, how do you always…"
"Thanks for the responses. I would +1 the github issue but I am not currently registered. I will try these two work-around's."
Not sure if I am doing something wrong or if I found an issue/bug, but here is what I am seeing: When planning a mission, I start by creating a polygon then go to Auto WP/ Survey (Grid). For the altitude, I had previously thought this was in feet…
"I am having a similar issue to Jamie. I can not find the RELAY_PIN in my parameter list either. I can trigger the camera with my radio, and I can also trigger it by right clicking on the map and selecting trigger camera now, but I cannot get the…"
