Quad UAV component testing montage

[Clarkst]

I put together some the video related to our Quad Copter UAV components testing and developement. This is incomplete, and not very flattering, but I trust you will see the humor of it all.

Some videos of an alternative quadrotor / multikopter platform, the mikrokopter, which some users are also progressing to GPS position hold or some level of GPS waypoint flying.

Here's some fun videos:
Mikrokopter coming home with GPS: http://www.mikrokopter.de/ucwiki/VideoAbspielen?id=73
Mikrokopter flying parallel to pickup truck (pilot in the back):

Mikrokopter bicycle ride (now how's that for hands' free cycling):

Mikrokopter first autonomous flight: http://www.mikrokopter.de/ucwiki/VideoAbspielen?id=58
Mikrokopter specked out (is stabilisation dependable):

Mikrokopter stationary observation with GPS hold and camera tilt servo control by the FC: http://www.mikrokopter.de/ucwiki/VideoAbspielen?id=33
Mikrokopter GPS hold test:

Mikrokopter GSP hold test or how boring can RC flying be:

The expected NaviBoard with an ARM9 processor, 3 axis magnetometer, and hopefully also SD expansion slot, should expand the UAV like capabilities.

Very nice! Showing off a bit! I like it.
I have too much fear of my Quad, mostly because of the stitches in my hand, but I am sure I can get someone else to grab the quad and move it out of the GPS hold area. I cant wait to get ours working!

Arthur, was that you in the video?
