6S mini copter project

This is a work in progress.

It's a rather conventional quadcopter but with a few tweaks.

The goal of this project is to make a small, transportable, waterproof, sturdy quadcopter that can carry go-pros and similar cameras.

Here's where we are so far:

  • 3D printed, sturdy, full-body design w/ integrated prop protectors
  • 6S
  • 250-300mm size
  • ~8min planned flight time
  • digitally stabilized onboard video (no gimbal, on post process, to warping effects)
  • waterproof
  • APM powered

And here's a video from one of the early tests.


We still have to test things like "underwater flying" and do some general all-around testing, plus small other improvements.
