Impressive! I enjoyed watching your flight. What do you think is the cheapest way to get a complete unit (quadcopter, transceiver, batteries + charging device), what price?
-
@captainendoe24 You can, It'll just be very expensive, will also fly about 10min max on a battery charge, and as there's no redundancy or failsafe whatsoever you'll fall like a rock to the ground in case of any kind of problem ;)

Damned impressive for first FPV! I am all setup for FPV on my Hexa, but don't have the confidence yet. You were cool as cucumber doing those landings right next to yourself!

why cant i build this 100 times bigger put a seat on it and take it to work?

The possibilities for applications of quadcopters is huge and flight times will get better as technology evolves. Innovators drive society and technology forward.
My wet dream currently is to build a quadcopter that would follow me (using some kind of a radio signal) plus avoiding obstacles (using a sonar).

@alexgrinkov The MikroKopter platform already supports tracking and following, it has already been able to do that for about 2 years. The target is a little GPS beacon with radio modem. No obstacle avoidance though, that's rather hard to do, sonar is unreliable outdoors.

@kilrahvp
I'm rather interested in expermenting with autonomous flight than just flying it manually like a toy. Obstacle avoidance is crucuial for that. Why is it supposed to be unreliable outdoors?

@alexgrinkov Range on common units is short, measurement differs when passing different materials, for example grassy ground absorbs sound a lot more than concrete and thus gives different readings or range reduction.

Very cool! How did you overlay the flight data ontop of the downlink video? The current supplied from the batteries is just amazing.

@themainproblem Hi, On this video I was using a DragonOSD module.
