SteadiDrone & APM

3689481259?profile=original

Hey again everyone! Hope you are all, like us, having fun flying more than tuning, fixing :) Just thought we'de share some new images of our latest units, all using APM2/2.5. With our large heavy lift drones we've contemplated moving to ZeroUAV for the accuracy and 'easy to fly' ness of it, but I still LOVE the feel and ease of use with APM as well as the mission planner. We get asked many times why we don't use 'higher quality' flight controls on our rigs, but our experience in reliability and ease of use for our clients is super!

We've now probably done just shy of 10 000 flights with our own drones and test flights for clients without any issues, yes we've crashed a few time but due mainly to us being silly trying to flip hex or octos, fying from moving vehicles and other interesting things ;) 2.7.3 is pretty amazing and the code is getting better and better everyday. So Thanks again to all the devs and testers here for the hard work and great code.

Here's a ffew quick images of our SteadiDrone, QU4D, H6X and EI8HT Ultra, all running APMs.

  • Neil: None, really.  I am using blue vibration absorbing ribbed grommets.  Some are using nothing.

  • Hey, what kind of vibration tape are you guys mounting the APM with? 

  • Frankly i am a arduplane guy but looking at your design it makes me feel to go for one your arducopters. I like your dsign approach its very neat.
