I have been working on a hexacopter for aerial videography and photography.   The hexacopter is equipped with a ArduPilot Mega with sonar, gps, magnetometer and a camera gimbal.  After hours of tuning, I got the Scout Hexa really dialed in.

I really happy with the stability of the Arducopter code.  Here is a video demonstrating some of the ArduPilot Mega's capabilities.  I am working on eliminating the aircrafts vibration to the camera.

  • I am interested in your hexacopter. Can you message me with more information? I am looking for a complete copter for AV/AP use minus the electronics.

  • Hi Steven, I built this hexa frame.   I did make room to allow for a FPV system.  I can build you this frame, if you are interested send me a message.

  • Is that the Arducopter frame you are flying? I built a tricopter and want to go with at hexa for AV/AP. My APM should be here any day now, and I am looking for a good frame. Does this have room for FPV gear? 

  • What you have done is my initial experience with the current build also. There is more refinement to do. Vibration reduction is important. Software Filtering a 3D imu is not easy especially if there is not much processor power left to do such.

  • That's really nice !
