Rasmus replied to Roberto Hawkowski's discussion High definition FPV"I am also looking for a decent HD video transmission solution for long distances. In my opinion, the only way to do it legally in Europe is to use digital video compression, because it uses far less radio bandwidth than any analog solution.
I have…"

I do not have numbers right now, but delay could be very significant ( ~1sec )"
Dave Schwartz replied to Roberto Hawkowski's discussion High definition FPV"Yes, I looked at GoPro as well. I like their product but decided against it for my application because GoPro is a single integreated unit. In other words the image head and board are all in one.

Replacing FMA with a 6DOF IMU
Posted on August 30, 2009 at 7:22am 28 Comments 0 Likes
Hello,
If I understand right, Ardupilot is dependent on FMA for roll and pitch stability.
I have 6DOF IMU from Sparkfun and I want to use it to monitor the roll, yaw and pitch angles of my model airplane and use this data to perform FMA functions i.e. maintain roll and pitch stability.
Sparksfun's 6DOF IMU gives accelerations and gyro data. On benchtop experiments, I can accurately measure my roll and pitch angles using only accelerometers. But, if the IMU flies in model… Continue

Hello,
Many people are using Ardupilot on easystar airplane.
What other airplanes are being used with Ardupilot and how to adjust Ardupilot code for the athoer airplanes?

High definition FPV
Hello,
Is there such thing as high definition FPV? i.e. is it possible to transmit high definition video from UAV for FPV application?
Do you know any high definition FPV system?
