I have to agree with some about the 'pan'. I hardly use it now. It was a novelty at first.

Does anyone know if the new gopro turns off its live output feed if the memory card fills up?

It's actually $18.99 if you order it without the pan/tilt module.

I can't find it .. can you post a link?

You put your osd on a switch???

I would imagine you could use whatever channel you like It uses a two position switch.

The gopro Hero2 always gives live feed as long as battery holds out.

On the link I posted you can select what options you want on the drop down menu- the very bottom is the 'no pan/tilt module -$25'.

Ahh got it :-) thanks man!

Well I just discovered my Genius CP servo connectors fit my camera just perfectly, so I sacrificed a connector from a stripped servo and now my FPV cam is back up again! So this means tomorrow I can get my first FPV flight in since the crash and loss over a month ago!

Plus I have a 1 watt 2.4Ghz booster coming too .

I still am having vibration issues however which makes my FY31AP not function properly... So my next purchase will probably be a 2200kv motor and a new 6x4 prop, anyone have a good budget recommendation for motor/prop/adapter and preferably from a source known to have everything in good balance?

I also tested my pan mount finally, works good however physically the servo has roughly 180 degree total rotational capability from center (I.E. 90 degrees in either direction), however even with my radio set to 150% travel it only goes about 60 degrees.... anyone have an idea how I can get it to do full travel?

I guess this depends on what you are doing with your setup... I can only see it as an asset honestly... one of my main goals is aerial videography, so having pan is quite handy, espailly when I get set my AP to do a circle around something and just keep the camera focused on what I want, which I plan to do for a few upcoming events in my area (Of course from safe distances :P)

Bah, after doing bench tests with everything I have found out my display totally chops off half of the bottom line of info of my hornet osd... That really sucks because mah used, and home distance are going to be a pain to tell easily... I am sure it's my display to blame... Actually I should hook it up to my ezcap and see how it looks on there...

Assuming weather is OK tomorrow I am going to do an FPV flight which I will record. Will be first FPV flight since crash a month ago, as well as first flight with OSD, and first with camera pan . I have no intention of going much farther then 1500 ft ground distance, and only over open land :P. I think my vibes are still too high for AP to work properly, though I will do a test flight before my FPV flight to see how well it will behave. From what I have noticed thus far with my AP tests is that RTH will probably work fine as long as throttle is fairly low and will more then likely either gain or loose altitude slightly, or bank a little too much, but still would come back towards me enough to regain control, hopefully... but I don't plan to test that tomorrow anyway :P.

At either rate too I should have my 1 watt 2.4Ghz booster in a day or two which should really boost my range.

NorCal,
If you're looking for a good motor, try this one: http://www.gobrushless.com/shop/inde...=MD2505-C-2535

I have 2 different Microdan engines and they are awesome. I'll be buying another one later today for my Skywalker that just came in.
