Review of the Hubsan x4 H107C quadcopter with 2MP camera

This is a short video review of the Hubsan x4 H107C quadcopter. I uploaded this video at the request of several people after they saw some of my aerial video uploads. I'm far from a professional aerial photographer or quadcopter pilot, but I do have quite a bit of fun with these little quads. These have spurred enough interest that I have decided to move up the quadcopter "ladder" and purchase a DJI Phantom.

FPV Quadcopter Awesome River Crash and Scuba Diver Rescue

After a full days flying I was presented with this weir which I just could not turn down a flight around.

I managed to have a full flight before my accident happened, it was purely down to pilot error as I did not have enough battery power left to counter act the momentum of my decent and by the time I realised I needed full throttle I was already in the water.

Lee and I spent almost an hour in this dirty water searching for the Quadcopter, we could hear it beeping under the water but could not find the direction it was in.

Interaction with a Quadrotor via the Kinect, ETH Zurich

We are looking for ways to make interaction with our vehicles natural and intuitive. With this in mind we implemented a demo for fast, dynamic interaction with a quadrotor vehicle using the Kinect in the Flying Machine Arena.

This demo is the result of a ETH Zurich Bachelor Thesis by Armin Ambhl, supervised by Sergei Lupashin and Raffaello D'Andrea
