"Great achievement! Congrats!
Can you share specs of motors, ESCs, propellers used?
What is the weight of the overall drone and of the battery alone? "

"Note that according to this: http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-terrain-following/
terrain following applies only to arduplane, not copters yet. So don’t count on this feature for automatically adjusting your altitude if you fly a copter. "

"Hi Elad,
I looked at the Visca protocol and there is actually a command to send preset zoom positions to the camera. The command is called “Cam_zoom direct” and it is described on page 31 of the document you provided. Cam_zoom direct: 8x 01 04 47…"

"Excellent work and documentation! A very useful project for the community.
I was wondering if there is a way to control the camera zoom level i.e. x2, x3…etc, by sending absolute PWM values for each zoom level. That would certainly be a huge added…"

"What motors did you use to get 55+ flight time with the maxamp batteries?"
"It all comes down in solving the camera pointing algorithm in the reverse order, as Lucas suggested. Within this algorithm there are three variables:
1. Own (GPS) position, altitude
2. Target position, altitude
3. Pant tilt X and Y values. X for pan…"

"These guys are doing it already for quite some years now as far as I know: http://magnetsystems.net/
They provide the coordinates not only of the crosshair location but from every pixel of the video window. An impressing technology called video…"

"Hi,
I’m trying to locate where into the new APM 2.5 code, the compass calibration routine is.
Can somebody provide some assistance?
Best regards
