    Yep. Although he still is trash..

    He kept one of my batteries (small 3S 2000 mah)
    Broke my ground station tripod
    Scratched the FPV screen to hell, there was a plastic cover on it when I sent it in just for that reason, and they must have removed it when they were trouble shooting it.
    There's also lots of fpv jello since he moved the tx to a different spot and didn't use any kind of vibration dampening but as you can see the video from the gh4 is pretty good so that's more of a gripe than anything.

    It's alright... Fairly overpriced for what you get... And support is hit or miss... If the owner doesn't like you getting support can be problematic.

    The folding feature is cool, but other than that there isn't anything too spectacular about it. It is pretty damn quick though.

    It does, steady as a rock with the A2. In that vid I posted the wind was pretty strong, I'd say 20 mph or so with 30 mph gusts or so.

    It's about the cream of the crop right now for hobby controllers... the better ones are way out of the price range of most people...

    Are we talking like $5k+ ? Or more? I figure dragon link was up there since they used it near space but it's still for hobbyists no?
