Not yet just one, I plan to mount another and split the trigger signal and see if there are any issues, or are you talking about if there is enough space for two cameras, seem to be plenty I am ordering another mount to see if I can run two cameras, not sure when.

I also do environmental, remediation. You should be able to find it, it did take 4 weeks for mine to post. If you send your name or company that you registered under I can try to find it. You can go though posts that are dated about 4 weeks after yours and see if they have posted that time...

I did not get anything, it took about a month for the listing to be posted, yours should be posted, look for at about a month after you sent it in, or do a search for the name you submitted under. You also sort by title and see if you can find it Civil PE ?, I am too

See my post above,, I eliminated the fence and have not had any issues. I believe you can also increase the HDOP mine see to be just a little over, but I have not tried that yet. One thing I did notice it is ready to fly much sooner, needs fewer satellites to fly.

I get 15 - 20 minutes flight time with the 10K ma, I have not notice any unbalance seems to fly fine. I dont do much photography so I dont know how stable it will be without a gimble

Congratulations on the X8, I really like mine it is can do a lot. GPS stable flight is when you put the mode switch in the LTR positions, top is STD standard, LTR Loiter, and Auto fly a mission. It is pretty stable in the STD mode but mine will drift a bit, very stable in the LTR mode. I did...

On my previous post I included a summary of the proposed rules, there will be FAA approved training, hopefully if you do get a pilots lic it would substitute, but would at least help meet the requirements.

We have a local sport aircraft association which has a lot of options, I am still hesitant to get my pilots license. I worry about my life and home insurance once I have the license, I guess after I got it I could say I don't fly. For the limited number of commercial UAV flights I would...

See attached, pretty good on basics of setting up a survey

"The FAA does provide waivers/permission on a case by case basis" The section 333 is a exemption to many of the requirements that really do not apply to a UAV. The exemption is granted under condition that you are truly operating a UAV and must follow guidelines within the exemption.

I think we need to remember we are flying a very small toy. The need to a full pilots license for this type of flight is silly and dangerous. Do you really want thousands of people who what to fly a toy, flying a real aircraft? I do believe training is needed but I do not believe a full...

I have been using mission planner for a few months now. Very simple and works very well, good documentation through their wiki. It will take you though getting the waypoints set and can also trigger the camera in the correct spot. I would recommend reading up on aerial surveys to get the...

You can get a sport license, I have quotes for less than $5,000. A pilots license will most likely not be needed once the new regulations are in place but that will be 2017.

As close as I can tell I am number 1261 to get the exemption, I filed on May 31 and it has taken about 3 months. At that time there were about 400 application to process, now there are over 3000. I don't have a pilots license so I cannot fly, but I am contemplating a number of ways to meet all...

I wonder how long before it is released, looks like some good info. I have been thinking of how to get that same information in my community, we have a number of small airports and I really do not know how they are classified
