Title: FPV head tracking
Post by: izmile on August 19, 2010, 03:32:13 AM
Hello Gents,

Got a question for the FPV folks. Has anyone used head tracking for your FPV gear? If yes, please let me know which one and its pros and cons. The ones that I saw are insanely expensive!

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but it does look simple and cool !

Thanks guys. I think HK stuff is a good bet.

BTW, you are right Anwar. I was thinking of building one using a 2 axis gyro (LPY510) and an audrino. But for HK's cost, I guess, its not worth it.

Hi izmile, do check rcgroups for more info on the HK HT gyro.. I think its also sold as the X-1000 under a different brand name.. Oh and guys, if your tx does not support it then it can be used with the turnigy 9x (59$ only ;D)
