AR.Drone 2.0 & GoPro Hero2 – Crashes & fails02:01

Tried to mount a GoPro Hero2 to my AR.Drone 2.0 quadcopter.
Compilation of some crashes during the first days.

Had some serious damages. Broken body, sensor cable teared out and so on but I could fix them all by myself.

The quadcopter is still completely functional and flies better than ever 🙂

      Einige Bruchlandungen der letzten Tagen bei meinem Versuch, an einem
      kleinen AR.Drone Quadcopter eine GoPro Hero2 zu befestigen und das ganze
      noch steuerbar zu halten…

      Try to mount camera on the top of the battery & set indoor hull mode. Check
      out quadrocop com for more info 😉

      Also Join the AR.Drone 2.0 Community on Google+. They have helped me out
      greatly will my flight issues. Things to check. (1)Make sure the cross
      frame is stiff and tight. NO loss areas or cracks. (2) change your
      propellers to a fresh new set of stocks…if you get them too bent up it
      can throw off its flight ability even by a millimeter .

      I compiled some crashes & hard touchdowns while experimenting with
      different GoPro mounts during the last days. Despite some 10m free falls
      the AR.Drone is still up and running (just had to fix some broken foam
      parts and a sensor connection which was teared out). A great thing to play
      around :)

      This is how I made the GoPro mount with longer landing legs to protect the
      GoPro cam.
      It is placed at the point of gravity and the longer landing legs also makes
      the touchdown smoother

      Excelente job

      I did once attached my Gopro on my AR Drone 2.0 just with 3 elastics: I
      placed the camera on the angled face beneath the “nose” of the drone. I’ve
      squeezed foamy things behind just to make it aim a little bit higher and
      using 2 other elastics I locked the battery almost outside of its “socket”
      until I could feel the center of mass being back to its normal position. It
      flew alright with it but I was too afraid of crashes, I decided that day to
      upgrade to a DJI Phantom (still preparing for it)

      Three words: buy a Phantom.

      balance your props or get some moongel for the vibrations

    13. Andrei Alexandru

      mount the camera ON the ar.drone

      Poor thing….

    15. Adi Dax

      What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger 🙂 The drone is still up and
      running and in good health…

      +Михаил Михайлов Yes.

      Is gopro hero 2 heavier than gopro hero 2014?

    20. Jilla os (protothief)

      There is an 720 hd camera that is inside the ar drone use it instead of a
      gopro it will reduce the weight

    21. Adi Dax

      Yes, but it would reduce video to 720p and the photos taken with the
      internal cam are just plain ugly. I updated to the GoPro Hero 3+ and flight
      characteristics are much better now.

      You need a dji phantom dude :-)

    23. Stéphane Hofman

      To reduce the jello effect you need to put a polarized filter on the gopro
      ;-)

      Wondering what you did to get it stable. My ar drone won’t stay straight

    26. cityhunter113 by romy esca

      ar drone 2.0 does not support a foolish nilox special weight 136gr and
      gopro. with battery 1000 manages to get up but the drone goes about his
      business not responding to commands, with battery 1500 gets up to then
      stall plummeting.

      To reduce the jello you can balance your props. A prop balancer can be
      bought for $15 and helps reduce vibrations throughout your drone by making
      sure all 4 props are balanced.

      Should’ve gotten a phantom no?

    30. Jos3M4d

      it works! i am doing the same , flying stable with the frame and the go pro3 under the drone without any drone proteccion to help a bit with the weigth. the only problem is the wind. You need perfects days. But it works and the image quality is much better. Good Work
