Used there are different versions of the cx20 but the nova is the same as the open source one which is deemed by many to be the one to get.

bjsparks Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 I read the open source works with mavlink, is that main difference compared to closed.? also, I see the cx20 advertises 4 channels whilst the nova advertises 7 channels.. how is this if machine the same? cheers for help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 They use the same amount of channels, the radio gear even has 2 extra channels to control a gimbal, so that might be were the confusion comes from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I've got the gimbal and camera with mine, but I would reccomend using a GoPro instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
