Hello,
Have any of you had any luck adding a 2nd camera and 3-axis gimbal, including an HD downlink, to their I1?
Arguably, the M210 is most suited for my application (SAR/public safety) with the need for therm + zoom - but I need to make a decision soon and am wanting to evaluate all possible options; getting something more portable, lighter, and less expensive will, in many cases, be a worthwhile compromise.
These are my goals, if possible:
1) a strong, reliable downlink signal, with long range (in the neighborhood of 3+ miles)
2) ability to pitch and pan from the RC
3) integrates with existing monitor, ideally using the DJI app; if this isn't doable and a 2nd monitor is needed, it's not a deal breaker
4) the 2nd camera/gimbal would most likely be for therm - if the FLIR Vue Pro isn't too much of a compromise (vs the XT series), I'd love to use it for the weight savings.
I've seen several companies selling both fixed mount and gimbaled versions of this concept, but I don't think they're getting the range or integration I'm looking for. Things change all the time and I'm really hoping someone has come up with a nice reliable DIY solution.
I'd love to hear about your setup, its pros/cons, how you accomplished it, what you'd do differently now if starting over, etc.
Thanks!
