I imagine this 3DR Y6, as filming a documentary on my Amazon aerial plan.
I do not use universal joints, only the damping to obtain subjective images.
FPV flight , and use Stabilize and AltHold mode, in the range of 3 km.
Use PX4FLOW maintain a high level of 3-5 meters ,
3 MB1240 attached to the front , left and right to avoid obstacles.

Comments
its small so it looks like a 5.8G. not a good idea to run it on the 900/433 telemetry module. But I could be wrong on the type of Antenna.
Looks like an awesome setup. What cloverleaf antennas are you using with the telemetry?(and is it 900 or 433 mhz) Have you range tested them at all?
What are your flight times with this setup? Does the PX4FLOW work with the pixhawk? I've wanted to try out a similar system.
