Flights from a road trip along the East coast of Australia, filmed with my big quadcopter.

Admittedly this vid is a less exciting than the other edit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE1HmarRvok), but if you like long slow cruises over spectacular scenery, sit back and enjoy.

These clips are all from when I was flying in rate/manual mode, which is normally more fun, but unfortunately the quad is flying like a pig at the moment. Because of this and the fact that most of these flight locations fall into the "crashing is extremely fatal" category, my flying was fairly conservative.

The gimbal is set to "follow" mode so it follows the quad's tilt but more smoothly. I think it would benefit from a bit of dead zone tweaking though.

See my other clip for atti/stabilised mode flying.

Locations are:
Dangars Falls (not to be confused with Dangar Falls)
"Currawong", my friends' property at Waukivory
Honeymoon Bay, Beecroft Peninsula, Jervis bay
Belmore Falls
Hat Head National Park

The music is Gotye's "The Only Thing I Know". I'm sure you can find him on the Internets.
