Yes agreed.. I feel behind the times lol.. 12-11-2018. I wouldn't be surprised if DJI doesn't stop selling this as they are kind of becoming the evil empire..

I'm watching now...;)

Can i borrow your time machine? Lol

+Elmo Di Calro That is a setting that is inside of the mission control software; you can set it to go into failsafe (RTL, hover, or land), or resume in auto. I have mine set to ignore a loss of signal from the transmitter and continue in auto, but I have it set to RTL in the event of a loss of mavlink signal. That way I always have some kind of positive control over the multirotor.

+sewerzuk i have the same question as well, from where can i adjust the settings that are mentioned above ? can you give a few quick tips exactly on what tabs those settings are available in the mission planner :) thank you very much sir!

Thanks! Yep; it was off a bit in this video. It is usually within a few feet, but I have seen it as far as about 15 feet off. I have it set to accept a 2 meter radius inside of the software (it sees that it is inside of an acceptable circle about 12 feet in diameter to prevent constant "hunting"). This, coupled with accuracy of the GPS, means that it could be quite a ways off from its takeoff point. I could tighten it up a bit, but so far haven't found the time to see how much of a difference a smaller radius makes...

P arjacpar yes, APM and pixhawk both will do this. I don't have any newer videos, I've built quite a number of UAV'S but haven't documented any recently.

Thanks for taking time to reply and thanks for help

Mark M Your quad doesn't need to be recalibrated. All your settings are stored on the APM/Pixhawk. All you have to do is connect via telemetry and you are good to go

I'm flying at about 200' agl, roughly 100' above the treetops

I have used the tower app. Its much more user friendly, but Mission planner as much more functionality.

I always arm it from the transmitter; that way I have positive control with the transmitter in case anything funny happens.

Santoshi Balaji can you help me with mine ?

1.3ghz 800mw from readymade rc

Elvis Moraes a 200mw tx should take you a mile easily

Forest is spelled with one "r." And it isn't destroyed at all; not sure where you got that idea. That's a 2nd year reprod unit with about 400 new seedlings per acre.

Here's his reply to someone else asking the same question: Frame is the F550 clone from hobbyking Motors: 900kv NTM propdrive (wouldn't suggest using those; I've had better luck with Turnigy multistars) ESC's: 30A multistar ESC's (I ended up re-flashing them with SimonK; would have been better going with Afro ESC's...I have built 5 multirotors since this one, all with AFRO and like them much better) Props: Can't remember what is on the machine in the video, but settled on 9x4.5 carbon fiber props Flight controller: APM 2.5 Gimbal: Chinese clone of the AlexMOS gimbal (I have other videos on properly setting these up) Batteries: twin 3.0Ah 3S Turnigy in parallel (discovered that I got more flight time with a single 6.0Ah 3S battery) Camera: I got rid of the FPV camera and just used the video feed from the GoPro

click no

Zachary Caviness You can use a joystick, although I have never tried it. It will fly fully autonomously as well, so I can just program in a flight path from the PC and send it on its way.

I want a set up exactly like yours... Can you give me a list of parts?

Zachary Caviness from the video looks like the following: Frame: DJI Flamewheel F550 Motors: Those HobbyKing ones that everyone suggests not buying ESCS: Those Multistar ESCs from HobbyKing that everyone suggests not buying Props: 8x5 plastic props Flight Comp: APM 2.6 Gimbal: One of those AlexMos 2D BaseCam clones from eBay Batteries: 2 LiPos, looks like 3S Zippys probably 2200Ah Looks like he also has a Sony 600TVL FPV camera and 3DR battery module Radios are hard to tell, but it looks like 3 radios, 915Mhz for MAVLink, 2.4 Ghz for Flight, and possibly 5.8 Ghz for video.

DanStrivelli This was the first Hexcopter that I built; you were close on some of the parts! Frame is the F550 clone from hobbyking Motors: 900kv NTM propdrive (wouldn't suggest using those; I've had better luck with Turnigy multistars) ESC's: 30A multistar ESC's (I ended up re-flashing them with SimonK; would have been better going with Afro ESC's...I have built 5 multirotors since this one, all with AFRO and like them much better) Props: Can't remember what is on the machine in the video, but settled on 9x4.5 carbon fiber props Flight controller: APM 2.5 Gimbal: Chinese clone of the AlexMOS gimbal (I have other videos on properly setting these up) Batteries: twin 3.0Ah 3S Turnigy in parallel (discovered that I got more flight time with a single 6.0Ah 3S battery) Camera: I got rid of the FPV camera and just used the video feed from the GoPro

sewerzuk and the vide downlink is 900/1.2mhz and not 5.8ghz as Dan guessed :)

Lekhraj Rawat Rawat no

LOL

I have similar idea for the project but haven't started anything yet

@@shreyashkarandikar maybe we can connect

Tim D what motors /esc you using? Weight of copter?
