"Try visiting RCgroup.com. There are many helicams and uavs photos with different P&S cameras. I personally like the canon S95 and Lumix TZ series. Very good picture and video quality for such a P&S camera."

weird drone behaviour

Has anybody noticed weird behavior and/or loss of communication with drones of any kind (with an autopilot) in mountainous areas? Have you been unable to get your drone to cooperate with normal commands like "come home NOW" OR "return to last waypoint"? Has your drone taken off, hit a few waypoints and ignored the rest?Keep in mind I'm talking about mountainous areas...I'm a newbie, so I apologize in advance that I'm unaware of signals from other sources bouncing around mountains and causing a…See More

We need to give an example to someone to do some programming for us, so we need something to start with (that'll we'll edit).We know we need x,y,z plus yaw, pitch, roll.We want our file to have autopilot, IMU, image number and all 3 with a timestamp that we can synchronize. Does anyone have an example that I can use to build from and what are the pitfalls in doing this? Maybe we're trying to make things more complicated but we basically need to give our progranmer an example of what we need as…See More

"brakar, what kind of footprint/photo size are you getting with the Ixus at 400 feet? Can you take multiple shots per second without compromising picture quality. We're doing aerial photography for a quarry. Lots of relief in the terrain (WV)."
