Should there any issues using two radios, one to fly the drone and another to control a camera pan/tilt rig under the drone?

We (my team) do this all the time. We have a pilot who flies the quad and one to fly the camera gimbal. I use a JR x9303 and the camera is on a Turnigy. Both 2.4GHz. Our downlink is 900MHz.

Thanks :) Think I´ll have to use 5.8 Ghz downlink here in europe. Figured using a 2.4 Ghz downlink is not a good idea with 2.4 Ghz radios?

You're right. Generally a 2.4 downlink will be too loud for your receivers to hear what they need to. Have fun!

so, i have pilot and operator, 2 transmitters, 2 receivers, 1 control board (arducopter) which also does roll/tilt stabilization for camera

goal is that pilot is operating multicopter, operator is taking care of camera work.... should i use Y-cable to camera controlling servos? so that one signal input is coming from arducopter (stabilization) and other from pilot (actual "controlling" of camera)? or should i have separate camera stabilization?

thanks,
jk
