linus6948 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Terrific picture and video quality. What does this technology cost? Don this was cobbled together as cheaply as I possibly could do it. Copter $257 2 axis gimbal $65 SJ4000 camera(GoPro Clone)$73 Nexus 7 tablet $65 Telemetry Parts $22 7in LCD monitor $21 FPV gear $41 Lipo batteries $80 Phantom props 2 pairs $7 and a lot of time spent finding out how to do the mods, here is what I did to get the telemetry to function http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/quanum-nova-new-release-flight-processor Edited April 6, 2015 by linus6948 Quote
Don Coatney Posted April 6, 2015 Report Posted April 6, 2015 Not too bad on price. I thought it would be a lot more. 1 Quote
linus6948 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Posted April 7, 2015 Did some electrical work in a trap house at my gun club and took a few quad flights after I was finished and then it started to rain and I had to quit. Quote

Dodgeb4ya Posted May 17, 2015 Report Posted May 17, 2015 How about a "Lily" camera drone you throw up in the air and it will follow and film what you are doing.....http://www.wired.com/2015/05/lily-robotics-drone/ 3 Quote
linus6948 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Posted May 18, 2015 The CX20 I`m playing with is capable of doing that as are many others now available on the market. The drone when asked will follow the GPS equipped 7in Nexus tablet that it is in telemetry contact with like a "tag-along puppy" at the height you select. Quote
