I think this was shot with a DJI S800. The RC link to fly it is usually 2.4GHz. A separate link, often at 5.8GHz, is used to send the camera feed back to the ground to help the pilot or compose the shot, or both.
- stevenrace 13y agoGood eye ID'ing the distinctive DJI arms on the hexacopter. The convention seems to be 2.4Ghz for telemetry back the to base-station or radio display - and something lower in the UHF band like 433 or 900Mhz for actual control. Mainly because Zigbee/802.15.4 radios are readily available in 2.4Ghz and 433Mhz goes a lot further (and through more things) by comparison at 1W. [/sitting next to 3 hexacopters at the moment]
- NickNameNick 13y agoWhat kind of transmitter are you using for manual control? I assume you aren't using a ground station all the time... I only ask because most new 'brand name' (JR, Futaba, Airtronics, Robbe) tramsitters seem to be 2.4Ghz. I know FM radios are still available on 36 and 40 Mhz, among others, but I haven't seen many used for a while with new aircraft.
- ivarvong 13y agoUHF transmitters can be rigged on a RC transmitter as a module or through the trainer port, depending on the radio. DragonLink and EZUHF appear to work this way. (I haven't used any of these.)
- stevenrace 13y agoCorrect. The EZUHF is my preferred transmitter.
