At the back you may also see a big blue wire antenna which is for the 1.2Ghz video transmitter. This allows me to see what the GoPro is recording on a LCD screen (or in goggles) while flying.
As an aside, I didn't tune the T4 as a "camera ship" prior to taking that video. I should have reduced the yaw rate a bit which would have made the left-right movements a lot smoother.

I looked around a little bit at systems for doing binocular FPV, but it seems you want frame syncing and all I've found rely on systems that are fairly old.
An FPV system with one of the new generation of VR headsets would be super.
I'm looking at options to get started without breaking the bank, but I don't want to end up with a toy; I already have a toy, an AR Drone. My interests are mainly a decent camera platform, increased range, real time POV, and autonomous function (in decreasing order). What's your opinion of the Flexbot as a platform to build on? Or should I just bite the bullet and build a big one, like your quad design?
I am debating on ordering the gimbal, but don't have the video figured out completely. They sell a controller board for the T-2D. Do I need that or does the Pixhawk take care of the interface? I can't decide on goggles or tablet so may just wait on video and get it I the air and more familiar with the options.
I ran out of steam the other night when ordering stuff and didn't get the batteries ordered. It seemed like the ones I wanted were all back ordered. What source do you get batteries from? Also, I want a good charger that is fast, safe, and preferably will handle more than one battery at a time. Do these exist? I saw high amperage, but they didn't mention whether they do multiple batteries.
And finally, I need the radio gear. I don't want intro stuff. You mention the Taranis. Do you think that is the ticket for quads?
Thanks again for your help.
