Is anyone using the APM2 for FPV and creating some nice video?
If so, could you post a link to your best video so far?
Or maybe you know someone that has made a nice video using the APM2 and if so could you share the link.
Thank you in advance,
Rick

I have read somewhere it is possible with clear video reception, but I have also read of folks toasting their min OSD.
Thank you in advance :)

Read more…I read someone is programming their ESC's as if they were nicads even though they are running lipo's.
Apparently the idea is when one does this, the ESC's will not shut down in a low voltage situation?
If this is true, it would appear to make sense.

We are a bit concerned about the speed controls pumping too much voltage into our APM2.
It appears our ESC's are outputting nearly 6 volts. Is this too much?
