Here's a bit of video I took last weekend. You can see the camera mount works pretty well there's not a lot of vibration issues with the image quality. (set to 720p and full screen fort he best view)
I did a couple of flights over the swamp at McCoy Park the other weekend to try out the Aurd-pilot with SK450 and 11” carbon props and the cheap HD camera.
It was a reasonably breezy afternoon, you can see the reeds swaying around so the little copter is getting lumped about a bit. I haven't used image stabilisation for most of the video only really in the first 15-20 seconds as the take off was a bit bouncy. The rest is just the nicer bits of video edited together.
This SK450 is set up with the Ardu-pilot flight controller (HK mega 2.7) using 11" props and a 5200 3S pack. The camera is a Mobius action cam. Most of the flight is done in ALT HOLD mode except for where it stops still and pans around that's done in LOITER MODE, where it uses alt hold and the GPS to hold it's position but allows use of the yaw control to aim the camera.
Take off was in manual mode and the landing was using RTL MODE, where with the flick of a switch it autonomously returns to the place where it was armed and lands automatically.
Here's the video
It’s flying pretty good despite the fact that there was a fair bit of breeze about
