APM 2.5 in the Philippines - Part 2

Here we go the 2nd Part is now online.

Shots were taken by a GoPro 3 without gimbal on a more or less well tuned QAV400 which is a really great platform for doing some serious video recordings. Together with the APM 2.5 and its GPS support its a great small package which is easy to carry around. All flown FPV wiht an 2.4Ghz video system and an UHF RC to get a nice range. Mostly flown over the sea so there was no option of failure :)

The whole video was shot on the Island Palawan to be more precise here:

N 10.480960° E 119.164890° The start and landing places were directly on the beach in the wet sand.

Hope you enjoyed it! Remember, this won't be the last Part there will be more coming. So pls subscribe so you don’t miss the following parts!

APM 2.5 in the Philippines - Part 1

 

Since a long time I do fly airplanes together with an APM 2.5 for safety and RTL feature.

Now, back in February I started to fly quad copters and "tested" a lot of different FC. However my favorite one is still the APM since the code is open source and it is easy to program new stuff that I use for aerial filming.

In April I went to the Philippines and came across some beautiful places like you saw in the video.

Hope you enjoyed it! Remember, this is only the first Part there will be more coming. So pls subscribe so you don’t miss the following parts!

 

A big thank you goes to all the developers of the APM soft and hardware, I really like it, its awesome!
