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 ...

Across the street from Bliss on Treasure Island are two abandoned military barracks, which have the most amazing shape from the air. There are so many great sites on Treasure Island! Must go back. Also shown: Jimmy Fulton, jacked into his FPV setup.

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.

This secret Google barge at a guarded dock in Treasure Island has been making news here in the Bay Area (and in Portland, Maine, where a second one has been spotted). People are speculating about its purpose. Is it a water-cooled data center? A floating Google Glass store? Who knows…

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. ...
