Quadcopter Drop Testing- With Go Pro
This uninteresting shot shows how high my brother flew his quadcopter. It also shows roughly how far the quad dropped from the sky like a 1.4kg (~ 3lb) rock. The results were surprising.
The cause is somewhat unknown. We are guessing it was caused by a radio brown out but we failed to check the radio (the blinking orange LED) before disconnecting the battery. Using the Spektrum DX8 we used the range check feature and found out the receiver an OrangeRX 610 (6 channel) was poor it stopped after about 10m (~33 feet) from what I’ve read this should be closer to 30m (98 feet). We also did a range check using my radio gear: a Spektrum DX6i and an OrangeRX 910 (9 channel) it dropped out just over 30m.
I will attempt to edit and post the video shortly.
