    Finally got my mini Tx and camera. Can't believe how little this Tx is compared to the TS832.

    And of course the fully complete build, so clean!

    What's a good lens cover that I can put on my GoPro while flying and recording on the gimbal? I just want something that will protect the lens just in case I crash. Easier to replace that than the GoPro lol

    Gh4 can shoot c4k though. Low light video is also phenominal.

    Ya but you can buy 3 4k inspires for the price of that s900... Unless you're shooting something that actually needs c4k or even have a tv or monitor to view the footage, it's kind of overkill...

    No doubt the gh4 is a badass camera however... Just a bit more than most need... More of a want I reckon.

    Heh I don't need luck. But I did look up all the components and they are all god for a 6S setup so Idk what the issue is. Camera setting maybe? :rain:

    ya maybe... is the camera good for 6s also?

    If it worked for a while and stopped, I would think it would be related to wiring or the camera or tx got fried... if the tx gets too hot without airflow over it, it will also fry or go into a 'shutdown' mode depending on the quality of tx.

    It has a fan on it to keep it cool, I've held it in my hands after it been running for 20 minutes or so and it was still cool. The Zenmuse is good for 6S as well, and up to I think 12S. The only connections that actually go in to the camera is the micro hdmi and the shutter controller. Micro hdmi is 5 volts, not sure if the shutter control has any voltage. It might just send a signal, it's a regular 3.5mm jack.
