ArduCopter Quad Assembly and the first flight with camera on board

Posted by Kirill on July 14, 2011 at 3:11am

Hello everybody! I have recently finished my ArduCopter assembly process, made a few flights without payload and a few days ago made the first flight with camera onboard. Unfortunately, it's not HD and the quality is not so good, but it's only beginning! My first impressions are awesome, I enjoyed assembling the copter and I'm sure I will enjoy flying it. I would like to say many thanks to DIYDrones, jDrones and dev team!

Thank you, Thomas! Glad to know you liked it.
Yes, right, that's a great advantage of my house location, there is much space to fly. Behind the fence I fly on the plane, and there is enough space to fly on copter even in the yard!

Hi Kirill,

Thanks for the foreign-friendly vimeo video ;)

Well made and good cut (nice music by the way)

Seems that there is a lot space to fly (behind the fence)

Thomas, here is it finally: http://vimeo.com/26616946

Sorry for so long awaiting.

Nevertheless, video on YouTube has a better quality than on Vimeo, moreover on Vimeo background music is a little shifted, but exists!

Yes, certainly. I will upload in the next few days. Sorry for so long, unfortunately I'm out of town now and have super slow internet here...

Maybe it's worth a try? :)

Yep, Vimeo gains more and more popularity...

Take a look at Vimeo. Better video compression quality, video clip download option and does not filter and block music tracks (yet).

Thomas, yes, it's likely because of soundtrack. I'll try to do something...

Thank you guys, glad to hear it!
