Is it possible to get this to work with a Sony QX100 ? Gentles Limited: gentWIRE-MULTI

Has anyone had any luck controlling the Sony QX100 .. I managed to repeat the WIFI but find it unreliable... I am thinking of a servo to control the shutter while in flight... I can lock the focus and go with shutter priority and move the craft around to get the zoomed in photo I want... But...

Re: Craft Oscillation with QX100 @ 220 Grams how to correct Hi Mr. Anon... Thank you and you were 100% correct.. I have stabilized the craft and it is working well and getting flight time of 20 mins !! All good... Now I have a new challenge.. that is to shoot a photo upwards from the PHantom...

I need to get a telescopic view of tower infrastructure to Identify corrosion issues. This is the purpose of using the P2. The QX100 is light (220g) and has an excellent Zeiss lens that is very fast, I have already tried the Sony QX10 (70g lighter) and it worked very well except the lens was...

Hi guys... Thanks for the input on VRS.. I am aware of this issue and have been testing vertical ascend/descend to find out when it happens... I will try more angle on the descent to avoid it... It is interesting that it happens so randomly though.. Sometimes I can ascend out of the rapid...

I have added a Ziess lens Sony QX100 camera (extra 240 grams) with intervalometer (120 G)to the P2 and have kept the FC200 for telemetry and FPV. A heavy payload indeed... I have set the gains (as best I can) and tried several firmware/software versions and have had 4 crashes/fly aways all...

The extra weight is 220 Grams. I control the QX100 With a small android phone running a time lapse app. This is mounted on the front of the Phantom. It takes a photo every 5 seconds. The quality of the photos is excellent.. I am having some issues with the Phantom because I had a fly-away on my...

I did my first test flight yesterday and was able to capture some great (non fish eye) photos , however the QX100 with a weight of 220 Grams is making the craft Oscillate badly in hover, there seems to be a harmonic causing this but it gets better if you elevate quickly... Could it be the...

Hi Mal, Yes, Raw image files would be nice, I find with the correct settings the photos are looking very good though..

I will post the photos soon.. This will give the phantom SLR quality still image capability ! I am thinking of 3D printing my design and making it available if there is enough interest. My early prototype was using the Sony QX10.. The QX100 has a much better lens and manual shutter etc. The...

Re: using ch 7 proportional control to trigger a camera shut The QX 10 does not shoot continuously ... Unfortunately... I had to run an android phone on the p2 in the air to maintain the WIFI timelapse program connection.. It worked .. but the shutter speeds are too low to deal with the vibration.

If you are using the Sony Play software to control the camera it will need to see the DSCXXXXX SSID... Other control software may not need this....

Hi Voicis I used a DLINK DAP1320 , you must change the last 3 digits in the SSID after copying it from the Sony QX10... If you find a way to get more than 40 Meters range please let me know.

I have tested the Phantom with the QX10 and shutter trigger... total extra weight with prop guards included is about 250 grams.. I am finding the P2 is drifting around all over the place , I have tried compass calibration without any improvement.. Anybody have any issues with the P2 drifting...

Hi Monsieur I too have a heavy P2. about 220 Grams of extra weight . I am using the QX10 and the vision camera together and a mobile phone onboard to trigger the shutter (I have tried everything else).. Everything seems to work on my test flight but the P2 keeps descending for about 5 secs if I...
