Air to Air Footage - Viewer Response

by FliteTest | May 15, 2013 | (18) Posted in News

Josh and David discuss how they get air to air footage, their favorite flight control boards, upcoming events and more!

You can see the full listing of the articles and episodes mentioned below!

When flying a multirotor like a tricopter, you can achieve some great air to air video.

Whether you choose to get your air to air video with a multirotor or an airplane, the more you practice the better your footage will be! 

We'll be at Joe Nall this weekend! Stay up on the event and where we'll be by following us on facebook:

These BS videos are good fun, you should make a compilation of all your failures for us to learn from and make us feel less bad when we screwup. AMA that's interesting.

Good show, 2 good challenges to look forward to. Not a lot out there for scratch built DLG, should be cool to see what you guys come up with. Still want to see you guys use a HK multiwii board as they only cost $70 with a GPS. Thats the cheapest multi copter set up with a RTL I could find.

David, please elaborate on the low pass filter for the FPV gear, I'm just starting out and I've seen it mentioned a few times, but have not found real documentation about what to use or how to connect it.
Secondly, you say that when you have to speed up the tricopter you inevitably get a downwards camera angle. Have you ever tried to use something like the Super Simple Gimbal that should compensate for that problem...the KK2 1.5 firmware was specifically released with the added code for it. You'd just have to fly the tri in stabilise mode when you're using the gimbal with FPV.

I'm a huge fan, you guys have thought me so much!
Regards
Andy
