Congrats to the PRENAV team, who were one of the winners of the Flying Robot Film Festival with the above video, which shows their precision navigation technology running with Pixhawk. Impressive!

While PRENAV is more scenic, your picture really demonstrates precision. In my opinion the PRENAV video is too much manipulated (accelerated like in 0.31, post-produced like in 0.35, combo like in everywhere).
Obviously their goal is cinema!
I did something similar as well:

or precursor at least...
+1 John ... really what PRENAV has is a symbiotic system/technology. Not really robotic/autonomous, in my opinion, only slightly more interesting than MoCap. The proprietary claims are interesting as there are non-proprietary technologies in use that display this level of precision with respect to UAVs.
There are FREE solution (and real source of PRENAV prjct? ) from ETHZ

Impressing lightpainting!

Just as good as a vicon system... outdoors.
What we found: great for a single drone, not so great for fleets of drones.
Chocolate copter: yum...

If you look at 0:20 in the video, my guess would be they use ground based laser tracking to position the copter.
All this is great. But if so, this is yet another case of taking already established existing technology and somehow making it 'patent pending' by adding a multicopter.
awesome stuff!
