"That would totally do the trick. Looks like they've started shipping to backers. Hope they make it over the line with this one."
"I've had my eye on the Air A01 since it came out last year with it in mind as a stills camera. Paired with the 12 or 14mm prime lenses, this thing would be a great camera.
Olympus has claimed this camera is an "open" platform, though I haven't seen…"

"@MarioSpeedwagon I expect WalMart's in that list for the same reason as BestBuy. They sell consumer electronic level quadcopters and RCs and want to be a part of the potential registration process. If it's too restrictive, they won't be able to sell…"
"that is a pretty decent list, I must say. I have hope! :)"
"We're watching all of this with great interest up in here Canada.
I hope the FAA hears that the hobby community has been a huge contributor to the current state of the UAV market and onerous registration and restrictions will severely limit…"

"Thanks @Randy, I'll give those a suggestions a try.
My Gimbal was no more accurate with 3.2.1, just saying it wasn't any better in 3.3. :)
I do know that my gimbal will go past nadir and point slightly backwards. If there's a tuning option in…"

"slow to update and test this out but I finally got around to it today.
Had problems calibrating my accelerometers. Results just didn't look right in APMPlanner at first and got a couple of ACC_HEALTH status warnings. After a reboot, things seemed…"

"correction: ardupilot documentation is updated, configuration changes are just sprinkled throughout the docs."
"We really need an "Upgrade Checklist" in APM Planner that lists whatever recalibrations a pilot needs to do after a new firmware is installed. the ardupilot documentation doesn't mention any of these and there's no indicator anywhere in the mission…"
"Is there a changelog file for AC3.1.5?
I also had a crash with 3.1.4 (as well as a malfunctioning IRIS after my firmware update) and witnessed a friend's IRIS go into a serious nosedive.
I don't have a lot of confidence in the updates since 3.1.2."

"good tips, thanks!"
"yep, I did have to do that as I was getting a 0 volt on the roll line causing my camera to be tilted permanently. Disconnecting that let the gimbal do its thing. :)"
"thanks! Pretty happy with how it's working. I'll have some more video from this weekend."
"Yep, using FlySky. You need to tell your Pixhawk / APM controller that you're using channel 6 to control tilt.

"settings on the gimbal itself are stock settings from 3DR. I went with the assumption that they've set the firmware and settings for the IRIS before leaving the station. Turned out to be true enough."
