Success! Taking video from the quadcopter is about three weeks premature, but I couldn’t resist. I definitely should’ve waited for a roll-cage over the electronics, and this is made apparent by the fact that my front motor isn’t working after a few crashes today.
I wanted to take some aerial shots of Lake Osceola on campus, but I thought it would be more interesting to switch the camera into ‘video’ mode first. It worked out OK because the winds were too strong for me to attempt keeping the quad stable. The few pictures I took in the air turned out to be very blurry. I really need to do some solid testing of my PID parameters before I try anything this crazy again. Next time though, I will go much higher (with calmer winds).
Anyways here is the video that was captured (with an epic last crash) and two pictures extracted from the video.
Amazing.
Simply impressive and inspirational.
….epic….absolutely epic….lemme know next time u take her for a test spin
