Maui's secret inaccessible north shore coastline done with Cheerson CX-20 Drone: Parts:
It was a perfect day (only a few like this on the north shore for the entire year). I am confident enough in the drone's capabilities now to take it out over the ocean.
UPDATE!:
This quad recently got a big price drop!
for the highly modifiable open source version shipped free! If you were looking to buy this, you might want to jump on this deal soon..
Very pleased with the FPV and overall setup in general now. Was surprised at the mountain video and control penetration. It did trigger RTL going towards Hana when I was too low behind the ridge. I think I've almost got the gimbal dialed in. Just need to properly balance the props and motors and I think the camera shake/jello will all but disappear. Had a blast getting this footage and plan to get much more and better filming done by taking advantage of the summer weather. Stay tuned for more great stuff!
