"I believe Mario meant attitude as in pitch roll yaw?"
"Sigh, I would buy this in a heartbeat for my mapping project if I could afford it."
"Sounds to me like a mechanical problem like a prop loosening."
"That's a no-go, probably won't have enough thrust to get off the ground. Why don't you post a picture, we may be able to help."
"Hi Rhosyn. Check out the manual. There are indeed inputs on that gimbal for pan/tilt. These are indeed compatible with the Pixhawk. I do not know if you have any kind of FPV setup on your Iris+, but this needs a video transmitter and receiver.…"
"No built in functionality for altitude based deployment right now. If you check the wiki page there are some options for mode based deployment. I assume you are working with 'copter, anyway.
It is also possible to DIY it, if you are ambitious. I…"

"Excellent, how do I get the certification? Is it available yet?"
"Glenn- Actually, you will want to keep the prop direction exactly the same as a standard quad. Instead, reverse the spin direction of the motors. Since they are mounted upsidedown, this will make them spin the props in the correct direction.…"

"You should take it more seriously than a toy."
"For anything with more than 4 props, being able to lose a prop and keep flying is old news. Very old news."

"How much? I'd love a fixer-upper."
"@Warren http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-loading-firmware-onto-pixha... Keep in mind that the last firmware compatible with APM are Copter 3.2.1 and Plane 3.3.0."
"@Pascal read this page, you can determine a shutter delay time between the CAM message and the picture."
"Yes, please post log. Until then, we do not have enough information."
