Aircraft saved by MinimOSD

I just got this video from André Kjellstrup.
It shows the importance of an OSD with instruments in hard FPV flight conditions.

From his own words: "lost visual far out over water when a sudden and passing snow shower with wet, heavy snow clogged lens". Fortunately his craft was equiped with ArduPilot Mega and MinimOSD. ;)

Here is an earlier video from André who is always giving us his feedback.

Thank's by your nice videos André!

    @Mike: MinimOSD arrived on DIYD Store. http://store.diydrones.com/Ardupilot_Mega_Minimal_OSD_p/br-apmminos...

  • @Sandro, I'm looking forward to picking up one of these boards.

     

    I've just started playing around with the APM2 and there's so much to learn!

    @Daniel: Yes. You're right. Guys from FPV are also starting to adopt RTL as a safety resource.

    It's also great to see how APM does when RC signal is gone completely on my test base with Spektrum DX5e. You see OSD's flight-mode panel changing to "CIRC" (circle) and if the signal isn't recovered it changes to "RETL" (return to launch). That's awesome.

  • RTL would have probably worked too.

  • Ah yes! I like. I will also try with as much professionalism.

    @Mike, the next batch is in production. It will back on store soon.

    I'll will post here in this thread at the time it arrives on store. Stay tuned. ;)

  • Nice!

    I wish these would come back into stock sometime.
