On Saturday I got to spend some time at the flying field with the Droidworx MK AD-6. There wasn't much of a breeze at the house but by the time I got to the field a fairly strong wind had come up making for poor stabilty on the camera platform so I only did one flight with the GoPro onboard, the rest I had the Canon SX 200 mounted and taking still shots. You know it was windy when you watch the video replay and realize the horizon is tilted because the mount used all of its roll travel due to the lean angle of the MK, at times it appeared to be sitting there tilted at least 15 to 20 degrees to counter the wind!
The good news is the new F/C board held altitude quite well and the upgrade to 11 inch props seemed to help keep the Hexa on station as well. The GPS did a great job considering the conditions, manual flight was tricky as the MK always wanted to head off in the direction the wind was blowing.
Here's some of the stills and the raw untouched video from Saturday...
