But I didn't see the image with a right arrow on it that says it can be watched.

Fixed it.

Eh? Typically here the site shows itself before we play it. At least it worked like that before the forum upgrade. And yes, I would say I'm impressed.

Good fix.

Wow! Great stuff going on here. Love the video Ken!

xanadu - the gripper is amazing! The video is SO cool too. That is going on my blog!

Thanks Whit. If I can get it stable enough for telepresence can you fly it? I'd also like a link to your blog.

Ken: That's an awesome video of the ELEV-8 Super in China. I'm sure you know I approve of your musical selection: http://forums.parallax.com/discussion/155482/solved-need-help-from-classical-music-pro

Nice blog, thanks for the mention, I'm right up there with the Badge and BB-8!

The camera is out of a small drone called the Blade QX Nano, similar to this - http://www.horizonhobby.com/SPMVA1100?KPID=SPMVA1100&CAWELAID=320011980000165275&CAGPSPN=pla&catargetid=320011980000236499&cadevice=c&gclid=CjwKEAjw1f6vBRC7tLqO_aih5WISJAAE0CYwlZL9PL4lCFwd1SXwXmyHPU7JjXoPmjv_bEcU0wS9NRoCgmHw_wcB&kpid=SPMVA1100

I use a small LCD with SD recording for that camera. http://www.getfpv.com/lumenier-dx600-dvr.html

The two make a great pair for robot FPV, at around $200 for both it's the cheapest I could find.

Yes, It has a flight controller called OpenPilot. The Propeller is in-between the RC receiver and the flight controller so I can control both with one controller.
