Another day of flying… this time with the working gimbal…

June 1, 2015 | Pixar Animation Studios, Quadcopter | By: Mark VandeWettering

At lunch today, I managed to get a quick flight in before the field was taken over by soccer players. Unlike my early attempt, this time the gimbal was working. The footage is not all that interesting, since I don’t have FPV setup, I can’t see what the camera is aimed at, which makes the framing hit and miss, but it is at least reasonably stable. I might try to tweak some of the settings for the gimbal, it moves very quickly when you try to tilt the camera up/down.

But I’ve completed five flights, still no crashes!
