The base frame I started with was a 500x500 basic Amazon quad copter kit. Once I put that together I started working with the hardware and electronics which pushed me to buy longer carbon fiber arms to expand the wingspan and allow for larger motors, larger rotors and more lift. Obviously as you can see there was additional re-enforcement with aluminum for the batteries and larger carbon fiber printed mounting brackets for the core of Stinson 1. Overall it turned out a lot larger than originally planned yet the stability, flight time and payload turned out great.
Since all video sources on Stinson 1 are composite, we used a USB composite input device. The video switcher switches between thermal and daylight for both video broadcast and video input to the Raspberry Pi.
damn nice setup. What kind of flight times do you get? That's something I can't find much info about with these types of builds.
Impressive setup. Very DIY Matrice-like in functionality. What is the base frame for this setup?

Hi how did you connect the video output for the A8 mini gimbal to the raspberry pi
