"looks like he was gobbled up by a large and powerful gimbal company so he wouldn't put them out of business.  I would like some more information on this as well. "

"There are tons of GPRS modules out there.  Lots of them in the $15-30 range. They aren't transparent serial links though, so you'd need to write code for both the airborne firmware and the ground station. I don't really…"

"wow, nice find.  I agree as well as the dronecell... I can't seem to find it anywhere, don't know why."

"I agree, and thank you for your response :)"

"I Think 3G/QPRS is really something to be implemented to the ArduPilot world. Hopefully soon."

"Found this little sucker, says it's for cell phones.  could I just run a cable from the antenna port of the xBeePro 900 RPSMA to the "input" of that 3W 900mhz amplifier? Will this allow me…"

"LOL, nice... ok that makes sense which means "NO" you are not pushing everything over that Xbee link.  Is the er9x still transmitting to it's own data to the Rx on the air-frame?"

"Thank you for responding, I didn't know the Xbee 900 preformed so well.  5k is do-able for my project so I guess I should just go with those and some nicely built Tx Rx antennas.  Would be nice to know how to amplify the crap out of…"

"please bare with me and this stupid question but...  If I understand correctly you are receiving telem data from the APM2.0 (via xBee shield) as well as sending telem data i.e. waypoints back to the APM2.0 directly from the receiver…"

"I would like to know as well found this but I think its along the same lines: http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/issues/detail?id=527 thinking about doing this instead for my…"

"I don't see a price there?"

"Nice same camera I would use, nice design"

"oh I see ok thank you"

"Nice work, well as far as the nikon goes check out Red hen if you haven't already. They make an adaptor for Nikon DSLRs that allow you to use your own GPS (with electronic compasses) to tag the images as you take them. Hope this helps Joey"
