3D Robotics IRIS+ Mapping & Follow-Me Demo

Posted by AKRCGUY on October 11, 2014 at 3:39pm

I took the new 3DR IRIS+ out for some mapping testing using the stock IRIS+, Gopro Hero 3 Black and DroidPlanner 2.0 running on a Nexus 7 1st Gen tablet.  We also tried out the follow-me feature which seemed to work well although you should use with a gimbal for best results.  Checkout the video below-

    Any word when the new firmware will be ready for folks who want to upgrade instead of a brand new buy?

    @Sam, I did actually use the Dronie button to do what was seen in the video. So unless I just happened to walk the exact auto mission without knowing it, it was doing follow me.

    Just to not confuse people, I assume you hit the "Follow" button, the "Dronie" button does a short away-and-back auto mission.

    cool video

    i wasnt into mapping because i thought the post editting would be complicated but you've made that seem breezy with I.C.E.

    Thanks again

    That was about the best produced video so far.  Mapping unpopulated fields is definitely in the bag.

    @Roberto, Like I say in the video, a brushless gimbal is a must for any sort of usable video while using the Follow-me functionality.  Congrats on your video, looks great!
