"I'm very new at this (2yrs) but will tell u how I have my 680pro setup. Separate 1000mah battery for gimbal and vtx. Works perfect amd the battery is small not adding much weight. What voltage is ubec? Is the gimbal getting enough? I can't remember…"
"Yes Glenn correct that's what happened to me. I uploaded a tlog then clicked the flight and it tries to load but then nothing. I thought it was just that they didn't accept tlogs. I couldn't even see the test log there. Very bizarre interface."
"so it does not like tlogs? i just uploaded to exmaps and they work fine in there. thank you."
"do you support ios and osx (apple and safari)? i had a buddy just try the link i sent them and he couldnt get it to play. i love this 3d imagery and track that it shows."
"Thank you fpr the post. I had this same issue with the same adapters 3 weeks ago on my 680 pro. Now that I have them on right I really like these things. I'm putting some on my iris."
"that should work fine but you still need to solder one end of the turnigy switch to power only. it doesnt have a negative except for the rx end. then the other end of positive from switch goes to the lights. the switch is just a power interrupt by…"
"Richard, i hard wired (soldered) to the battery connection point on my Iris for one end of switch then the other power line to the lights. use common ground so just tied all negatives together. worked great."
"thanks for confirming my understanding. i should have my exemption by end of november. bring on the uav license please!!! haha."
"my understanding is that the FAA has control over any aircraft. and they have determined that uas/uav are aircraft. they dont delineate betweek public and private airspace. there is no private airspace. they own all airspace it seems. you can fly…"
"It looks like you might benefit from a conversation with Wil Cashen at uavsa.org. give him a call and maybe he can give you some direction."
"guys the faa will have a uav/uas license soon so this will not be necessary if just flying multirotors for business. but of course even if you have a uas/uav license you will still need the 333 exemption plus COAs if the blanket one in effect now…"
"Justin, you may be correct in these descriptions I really do not know as I am very new to this industry. However, i asked very specific questions regarding the pilot license requirements to the chairman at uavsa.org and he stated right now you must…"
"$500 using uavsa.org. Very helpful organization that seems to really care. contact them and you won't be sorry. They are swamped but have hired more staff to help out and they really know what they are doing. i was thoroughly impressed. i just…"
"incorrect. you do not need a pilots license to file. BUT, most likely if your exemption is approved, it will state you cannot fly unless the PIC (pilot in command) has a pilots license. so you can hire someone to fly your uav using your exemption.…"
"the ecalc.ch website helped me some for a ballpark reference. learn to use that and then it might answer your questions much better. many factors play a roll so its not a simple answer. total weight (All up weight = auw) is an essential component to…"
"yup. im in florida and Rick Scott signed a bill/law whatever that said you need permission to take any photos/video of homes. this seemed unreasonable at first but then it stated only if the reason you are using the uav is for surveillance.…"
