About Me:
Built my first tricopter in April 2013 and am completely hooked. I work as a consultant digital director for a number of companies.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I'm interested in aerial filming as well as exploring new applications. I also want to make building a multicopter accessible to many more people by running workshops and producing simple guides.

"Let's ignore the massively false (and dangerous) expectations set by the marketing video for a sec - this project has definitively shown there's a market for this type of thing. I wonder how readily these people will accept the rather more limited…"
"Yes, technically R10 did deliver something - shame it didn't actually fly anywhere near like what they showed in their videos. I spun mine up only to have it flip violently - the forums indicated this was normal so I binned it. They took on a an…"
"Is it possible to program follow me together with ROI - so the drone circles a moving object, keeping the camera pointed at it? Not worried about avoiding other obstacles - yet."
"mP1 - totally understand that you don't care for the video - it was directed at the advertising world. As ludicrous as the premise was, it still had to be built and it still had to fly. The APM was the only flight controller that I found that could…"
"Thanks Quadzimodo - and thanks for dragging me out to fly/crash it in the early stages. I probably wouldn't have made it in time otherwise."

"Very nice build - hadn't though to wrap the moon gel in glad wrap - amazing how much gunk it attracts.
I hope whoever finds it does the right thing.
I'm with leonardthall - Stabilize is my go to place for those oh shit moments. It's one thing to set…"

"I became interested in drones after backing the R10 Quadcopter on kickstarter. It arrived six months late, was well undercooked, incredibly unreliable, poorly designed and flat out dangerous. The worst thing is that UAIR stopped communicating,…"
"Great point R_Lefebvre. I hate that ning doesn't show your name - way to built community.
I love visualisation tools like this because they show people what's going on in a digestible way and also reveal the omissions, hopefully allowing us to shore…"

In the process of looking for data visualisation tools, I stumbled upon this one for GitHub so I thought I'd plug in diydrones.http://ghv.artzub.com/#repo=ardupilot&climit=100&user=diydr... shows you all the repositories from ardupilot to APM…

It's a pretty big big market with lots of existing gimbals"

"Okay, so where is someone with a RTF quad supposed to go to learn to fly safely and responsibly? I've done lots of googling and forum searching and as far as I can tell, there's nowhere (in Australia at least) that someone can can go to learn.

Here's an excellent (unhyped) story from ABC's Landline (Aus) about how precision agriculture is being enabled by new data collected with drones.http://www.abc.net.au/landline/content/2013/s3872768.htmIt features:Sydney University's Centre for Field…
"I think there needs to be a bit of a shift in thinking by regulators from setting rules for a small number of pilots to making it really easy for ordinary people to do the right thing. That in my mind means having a really useful Internet presence…"
