Reddit mentions of DX6i DSMX 6-Channel Transmitter Only Mode 2

Is this the correct one?

Can you recommend a good fixed 4ch fixed pitch for me to get? The CP X looks cool, but I bet I would destroy it, having flowing nothing other than a s107, even after a while at the sim.

It's not mine, NCSU hired some professionals to take this footage. I would guess they did take outdoor footage of the library as well, but I'm not able to find much else about this. I don't know what it was used in.

Of course, you could always do it yourself - two examples at opposite ends of the spectrum would be the expensive but high-end DJI Phantom + a GoPro, or a cheap low-quality quad like the V959 (with built-in camera).

The quad in that video looks custom built, but I recognized the transmitter as the DX6i which is basically a beginner/intermediate transmitter, so they probably aren't even very experienced (by that I mean, anyone could do it with just a little practice).

Since your micro uses DSM2 I would look at going with a DX6i. This Tx would be compatible with both DSM2 and DSMX. Full range DSMX receivers have been tested up to 1.5 miles in range depending on conditions.

I learned to fly on my own, with some input from my uncle who is an expert RC pilot, and alot of online research. First, I would recommend getting a decent transmitter and not cheaping out, for reliability, features, and to have one that will carry over to future planes. I have the Spektrum DX6i for about $140. You can find them at most hobby shops, or Amazon, eBay, etc. You can use this transmitter with a mono 1/8" cable to plug into your sound card, and use the free simulator [FMS] (http://modelsimulator.com/) along with a program called Smart Propo Plus to practice flying for free. For your first plane, I would start with the Hobbyzone Super Cub. It's a nice prop plane with no ailerons, which makes it very easy to learn takeoff and landing techniques. It handles well, parts are readily available and cheap. It is also very durable and will handle rough crashes well. This version is Bind & Fly. This means there is easy assembly, and you simply install a jumper to automatically bind the receiver to your transmitter. Let me know if this helps, I can write more details about how I started learning to actually fly.
