Hello all,
I'm looking at what it would take to put together a UAV for some on-board video work. I can build the plane form I'll need (we manufacture R/C flying wings), but even thought I've looked as UAV stuff off and on for a few years, I'm currently not up on whats out there now.
I'd like to have the ability to set the whole flight into UAV mode and at certain way points do certain maneuvers including altitude adjustments, specific angle approaches x & y, speed, and some means to control camera record and zoom control. With this control available, I could then pinpoint a flightpath to exact points of interest and do some pretty nice, unattended, videography. I would also like gimble control on the camera via UAV control, but this may be too much and too costly.
Is this way out there, or is it common place, or somewhere in-between?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
