A 3D Robotics Y6 test flight in San Diego. Configured as RTF w/telemetry, with Orange Rx + satellite and Spektrum DX8 radio. Rotorpixel gimbal and GoPro HERO3 Black used for video capture and FPV (with ImmersionRC 600mW transmitter). (Source: https://player.vimeo.com/)

Bliss Dance, by Marco Cochrane, is a 40’-tall metal sculpture located on the Great Lawn, near 9th and Avenue of the Palms on Treasure Island, San Francisco. Shot with 3D Robotics Y6, Rotorpixel GoPro gimbal, DJI Phantom quadcopter, Zenmuse H3-2D gimbal, GoPro HERO3 Black, ImmersionRC 600mW video transmitter. Captured in GoPro Protune and converted using GoPro Studio and edited in FCPx. ...

Autonomous mission with 3D Robotics Y6, GoPro and gimbal

Yesterday, I flew my first autonomous mission with a 3D Robotics Y6. The mission is shown above (screenshot from DroidPlanner on a Nexus 7), and includes 6 waypoints between 25m and 50m AGL, including an auto-land at the end. During the flight, I monitored output from the GoPro using FPV, and manually controlled pitch using ...

Treasure Island’s famous 40-foot tall Bliss Dancer. The light and shadows at sunrise are beautiful, here. Taken with 3D Robotics Y6, GoPro HERO3 Black camera, Rotorpixel gimbal.

Pictures! 3D Robotics Iris with GoPro HERO3 and prototype gimbal, DJI Phantom 2 Vision prototype, and 3D Robotics Y6 running APM 2.6 (love this thing!). Pablo Lema and I unboxed the RTF Y6, attached the props, added a receiver, did some light configuration in Mission Planner and on my Spektrum DX8 transmitter, and it flew beautifully. ...

I went to visit 3D Robotics last week, which was a ton of fun. They let me fly an Iris prototype and a Y6 running APM 2.6. I love the idea of a folding Y6 for travel. It has plenty of power and can fold into a compact little package. Thanks, guys!
