In our most recent drone trip to SE Asia, the ConservationDrones team brought along with us a Y6 Multicopter (http://3DRobotics.com). And it was a good thing we did because we were having some difficulty mapping a 1-hectare forest with a fixed-wing aircraft (too small an area for a fast-flying fixed-wing). The 3DR Y6 was perfect for the job as it mapped the plot in a single 1.5 km mission with no problem.

  • Good job!

    In the video the gopro have some inclination but you get perfect horizontal images. Do you install some servo for move the camera or do you put two cameras?

  • Thanks guys! The Y6 is awesome. Now we are dying to test the Iris as an anti-poaching rapid response video solution.

    Great job on the video! I love how you panned the still photos in the direction of motion, to continue the flow established with the earlier video establishing shots. Impressive.
