24. A nice place to fly: Hexacopter in Cameroon / Africa
1 year ago
FPV flights of my DIY Shrediquette MM6 Hexacopter in Cameroon, West-Africa.

Details on the copter:
shrediquette.blogspot.com/p/shrediquette-mm6.html
Source code, manuals etc. available too on my website:

A Deshaker was used for most scenes, as there was always some wind.

    Simply.......... beautiful. I lived in Cameroon (Edea) four years between 1976 and 1980. A beautiful country. Great video :-)))
  • W. Thielicke 1 year ago
    that is pretty cool :-D We're always making a small stop in Edea when we're travelling from Douala to Kribi. My parents live in Foumban, maybe you know that place.

    do you have propellers or laser blades on your motors ?
  • W. Thielicke 1 year ago
    indeed I am also very surprised how robust these propellers sometimes are... Actually you can almost fly through everything... :-D
  • Roberto Mettifogo pro 1 year ago
    carbon blades btw ?
  • W. Thielicke 1 year ago
    no, they're just plastic (GWS 5x3" 3-blade)

    Das ist der Oberhammer!
    Normalerweise sollen solche Videos nur ca. 5 Minuten gehen, aber das hier war mir viel zu kurz! Das hätte gern noch 30 Minuten laufen können!
  • W. Thielicke 1 year ago
    Ich habe natürlich noch tonnenweise weiteres Videomaterial... Vielleicht mache ich damit nochmal was.

    Wiedermal sehr geniales Video!

    Deshaker heisst Nachbearbeitung am Rechner?
  • W. Thielicke 1 year ago
    Ja, das Bild war teilweise recht wackelig, und der Deshaker versucht das Bild zu beruhigen. Klappt aber leider auch nicht immer. Wenn man man auf die Propeller oben im Bild achtet, sieht man was der Deshaker so an Bewegung raus nimmt.

    How often do you crash going through such small gaps?
  • W. Thielicke 1 year ago
    In total, I broke around 3 propellers (two during the last scene of the movie, and one when I hit a bamboo tree). So crashed only two times, although it was close pretty often :-D

    wow, this is awesome!
    i would love to build one but am scared it's a bit too complicated...
    i was wondering, do you see the pictures coming from the gopro directly into your glasses or are they from another onboard camera?

    Amazing! You must be so proud of this and rightly so! Love the use of motion tracking on the titles at start. Was that AfterEffects? Amazing piloting skills, location editing and choice of music! :-)

    I love this!! It's rare to have talents in both RC building, flying, filming and editing. Very well done on the video part!
    I also made a tricopter, and will convert it to hex. Please tell me, what kind of FPV-gear are you using, and what kind of range do you get?

    Very, very nice flying! I asked you before something about your Mikrokopter. I‘m terribly sorry about that, I now understand that this is your own product! And it flies beautifull! Respect! I very much believe in the 3-blades propellers. How come you use them? Are they better balanced? Your copter is a very nice design. I hope to see more of your daring actions in beautifull landscapes!! Best regards, Serge.

    Hello William, and thank you so much for this beautiful video. Great editing by the way! Are you by any chance thinking of mass production of these beautiful flying machines? I'm just thinking, for all those who don't have any chance to build anything like this any time soon, it would be good if there is any other way we could get our hands on something nice like this. Is it very expensive to produce it and how much would it cost in case you decide to start selling them? Thanks again and greetings from Toronto, Canada.
  • W. Thielicke 6 months ago
    Well, maybe if I finished my PhD, I'll do something like this... But it will still take quite a while, and I guess at that time multicopters have become very popular in the filming community...
  • Seiishu 6 months ago
    Thank you for your reply William, it's greatly appreciated. Approximately, how much would it cost if you had to build one for a customer? Do they have to carry only specific cameras, or could they for example, carry Canon 7D (or is 7D little bit too heavy for this type of multi-copter) ? Thanks again!
