Fly me to the Moon ... or close enough

Since weather has not been the best, Katia and I decided it was time to test the Drone a little more in any case..

We have spent about an hour flying it around home just to see how the new "GoodluckBuy Gimble" was performing.

Overall I am super pleased with the little 2Axis Gimble based on Arduino which so far has nothing really to envy from the mainstream (stupidly expensive) counterpart, the well known and discussed "ZenMuse H3-2D".

The shots were taken using a simple "GoPro 2" that (since it has a small scratch on the lens) we use for such tests.  Yes, basically when I think something can go horribly wrong and we can just waist 900 bucks worth of equipment for no apparent reason !  

All the shot are rendered without any stabilization , just the gimble, and taken at 1080x30 fps so for small productions and as "fill in" scenes there is a lot 20 minutes of flight can give you for less than a fraction of the cost of the Zenmuse !!

This afternon I'll post an update to this blog with the short video of the test flight.
