2017 HolyBro PixFalcon COMBO kit (GPS/OSD/Telemetry) - Australian stock, ships overnight  - Ardu Copter Open Source PX4 Auto-Pilot is a miniaturised Pixhawk PX4 with extremely good GPS autonomous lock, mission planner Navigation / ground "Mission Planner" control and datalogging; our kit includes the datalink hardware (which can be plugged directly to an Android Phone/tablet and used with "Tower" app or "Droid Planner" Apps ) - this version is the full monty kit- with On screen display mini OSD ; super accurate 8M GPS typically finds 17+ GPS in AU including USA/RU and CN sats ; PDB power distribution board/BEC  (PDB used for small Quads) ; 2 x datalinks air+ground 433 frequency hopping Telemetry for mission planner ; supplied with wires and IMU isolation tape - including 8 pins ESC break outboard (for FWing Ops)

Because this Autopilot (PixFalcon) is so small it is perfect for smaller quieter farm drones 500g->2kg or for serious commercial aerial photo work leveraging off a smaller QUIET drone , smaller survey aircraft and low risk video creative drone ops in Australia - city or Farm Ag work - without the autopilot itself being too big (like Pixhawk).

Question - Can PixFalcon trigger a camera using spare PWM outputs for a Quad on M5-M8? Answer = The PixFalcon has 8 PWM motor/servo outputs i.e. the hardware is fully enabled but we all need to "ask" the PX4 DevTeam nicely to write this small code change HERE - Please take a minute to confirm your interest in this feature as DevTeam allocates resources based on demand - please ping them.  In the meantime we can tell you how to setup your PixFalcon for survey Ops if purchased from us.

The "Modes" used by APM PX4 are called different names to MultiWii and BetaFlight ; So Horizon mode is similar to APM Stabilised Mode ; Headfree in wii (or Homelock in dji) is called "simple mode" in APM PX4 ; Full explanation of modes for APM is Here ; Sports Mode is similar to Acro mode but limited in bank angle unless the advanced parameter is changed.
