X8 Arducopter summer flight in France : episode 1

This is a summer flight video of my "Mr. Red" Arducopter, configured as an X8.

Although the arducopter X8 setup is the least efficient in terms of number of motors/lifting power ratio, it is a super stable platform for aerial photography and aerial filming.

 

For the more technical:

-APM 2.5 running v3.0.1

-Tiger motors 3110-17 (700Kv)

-3DR 20 amps ESCs

-Smaller props on top motors: 11x4,7

-Bigger props on bottom motors : 12x3,8

-Frame built based on 3DR, VulcanUAV and other home built/exotic parts

 

I will soon post a second episode showing filming results you can get with this platform together with a brushless gimbal embarking a NEX5 camera.
