First stable camera drone. Roll and pitch to move, VTOL and trim for camera rotation/tilt (camera 1), throttle to take off. Slightly tilts forwards during take-off and controls can be difficult to correct. Suggest slow inputs to roll and pitch. The black and white sections are small enough to allow minor adjustments to COM - the main lesson of this project. Took a few hours to fine tune but still needs work. Alternative control methods next on the list, along with fine balancing.
