    nx1100 on a backpack sized drone

    I almost forgot about this forum! I've since got a number of successful models of the mount working and they're on Shapeways if anyone is interested:

    nx1100 on a backpack sized drone

    It hasn't crashed ... I was joking around. I'm getting my own 3D printer soon so I'll be able to pump out prototype fixtures much faster.

    Samsung Samsung NX Mini Announced

    The primary sensor is usually larger and therefore on the rear (along with an LED flash) so that you can take shots of where you park with the number readable ... the secondary sensor is on the screen side for face to face VOIP through Skype or a similar application. It also doubles as a...

    nx1100 on a backpack sized drone

    I'll be keeping you guys posted as the mount improves ... it's not intended specifically for the Samsung ... it's just a tripod screw rail. The NX1100 is on the heavy side for the Phantom 2's payload, but it does fly and can gain altitude without chewing through battery too quickly. Once it's a...

    nx1100 on a backpack sized drone

    It's a work in progress still ... I'm getting a jello effect due to instability in the dampeners (round plugs that the mount attaches to) but it's one of the heftier cameras successfully lifted off by a drone of this size and that was what I was out to prove. It's also got a lovely range on the...

    Samsung The 30mm is just a great lens

    Thanks! I might actually wait for that to release and then just buy it with the kit wide angle lens. It's a full 70g lighter

    Samsung The 30mm is just a great lens

    Yeah, I thought that a better aperture would help a bit for night shooting. I guess the 16mm would be more helpful if you think that it's not a huge difference. I don't mind the lens being unstabilised as this means it's more lightweight and the drone will fly less erratically.

    Samsung The 30mm is just a great lens

    Thanks Matt! The problem I'm having when making this decision is I'm trying to balance a requirement for good night shooting (including video), which is what makes the 30mm look so attractive. Short of making a decision for me, if the lens needs to be lightweight and good for night time video...

    Samsung Samsung NX firmware modifications

    Well I imagine you could send better instructions to the phone via a custom wifi app. Or change the way the buttons work. As a drone flier I'd love to have the ability to take photos and resume video by just pressing the remote viewfinder button.

    Samsung Samsung NX firmware modifications

    I saw elsewhere online that the NX software is open source for a number of cameras and confirmed that it's available for download. My camera doesn't have anything available yet but I was curious if anyone knew of any projects to make upgrades to the cameras operating system?

    Samsung Nx1100

    I just bought one of these too. It's my first camera that I bought as a camera. Amazing image quality considering the size, but what interests me the most is the weight. I am expecting these to begin selling like hotcakes once the quadrotor community realises they exist.

    Samsung The 30mm is just a great lens

    The results from this lens look amazing. I've just bought myself an NX1100 for use on my quadrotor. It's a light little drone and can handle a ~300g payload which makes my purchase ideal because it's the only sub 200g APS-C camera that I could find. Sony's A2000 comes in a little heavier but...
