    Autonomous camera aiming & tracking module

    Hello M, I recently found a video made by Adobe that was very inspiring to me. It goes over all the different types of aerial footage you can make for dramatic effect, and my mind's already buzzing with ways to automate and improve them :) Check it out, many of the shots can be done manually...

A little wifi transmitter can stream a video or picture feed, so that you can tell the system what to look at. After that, just fly around in circles and get perfect...

    Hello, So I've been playing around with drone videography lately, and quickly realized that it's really tough to aim the camera while flying a quad in anything but a straight line. I envisioned this one sweeping pan shot of an object in a field, but just couldn't do it with the quadrotor...
