  • Hi Matt , have you seen this blog post ?

  • I'm definitely going to need to use exponential settings to help reduce the problem of the camera zooming around. 

    I'll be operationalizing it like any other pan/tilt configuration on a plane (whether X8 or Skywalker). I'm still struggling with the idea of making this retractable, or having retractable landing gears.  (I want it to be on the bottom)

  • Hi, Looks really cool, a little too fast if anything, as i would get dizzy looking through the camera on the ground :-)

    How are you hoping to get this to work remotely?

  • I've purchased several slip rings from that eBay seller and they work really well- can't beat the price either.
