A short flight in the woods

Good stuff!

 

I've had the AR Drone for a couple of years but found the picture stability can be a bit poor. It's the way ahead!

 

 

Did you use a gimbal? My first drone did not have one & I had the same problem I now use a gimbal with 3 motors that keep its stable I've got a little problem with the anti interference board that's why the film has lines going across it think I may have sorted it just need to test it.

No I didn't (haven't)

 

When I first bought the AR it was a bit of a punt to see if it would bring any benefit over potentially climbing. In reality, it was a bit of a wheeze and a laugh without spending too much £ and to provide a cheap intro into the possibilities.

 

I'm not sure it has performed to the fullest potential in the environment where it would have been most useful for me - in canopy. I think I've spent as much on repairs as I did on the original purchase price.

 

There's no doubt though, the tech has matured massively over the past couple of years and I'll upgrade to a more robust system at some point soon.

 

It's been a giggle though and I'll get back into again now!

the amount of time that companies will be able to save and convert into actual working time will be extraordinary.

 

Computers were going to save us so much time and make our lives so much easier.

 

Here we are; all stressed out!

Computers have saved time, to a point reduced stress levels for myself and my working life. Sometimes business life seemingly could be easier with out computers, however short of a total failure of the internet computers and new technology will be with us for some time to come.

Did you try to send me a message?

Yes, your box was full. I would blame my computer, however that would not be fair!

Take care.
