FPV Quadcopter at Mt Cordeaux, Cunningham's Gap

404 Views · Posted 11 years ago

Nothing like spending your Sunday going on a bush walk with friends. Add some scary FPV and you have a nice video. We were supposed to get to the big mountain in the video and fly off there, but the track is closed, so I had to settle for flying over there and then nearly getting whisked away by the sudden wind.

(here are some pics from a previous walk up there, incidentally: http://www.flickr.com/photos/strepto42/sets/72157626548436043/with/5698742549/)

Anyway, all sorts of bad things could have happened, but didn't, and I was very lucky.

I thought I had the brushless gimbal dialled in as well, but in flight it is still very wobbly. It did get very windy at times, however it is still wobbling under vibration regardless. Back to the drawing board.
