If you want a chance to review this quad, add a comment below with the following:
That you are a member for at least 1 month, with at least 1 publications of enough quality (it is at the discretion of LMR to decide that quality, but they are fair, just try your best!).
Why you would like to test this Hubsan X4 Mini Quadcopter w/ Camera.
Reviewers must:
- Use the “Tips on writing reviews at Let’s Make Robots”, and use pictures and videos in their review.
- Write their review within 6 weeks of recieving the product for free.
- Consider using the videos with LMR intro and end. Not compulsary.
Between all contestants LMR will select 1 member who will receive for free and review this quadcopter.
Good luck!
I’d love to help on this,
I’d love to help on this, but I already have the Leap Motion review in the works. Wish it was more robot-like however to fit the LMR theme. Probably be nearly impossible to modify. Ever put collision avoidance sensors in a small drone or have it take off and seek an IR beacon and land autonomously? Suppose this would be a fairly easy review for someone - no code to write, no design work involved, not even comlex assembly. Just power it up and test the functions, ease of control, video quality and durability.
Ooooh, how about writing a
Ooooh, how about writing a small program that interprets gestures from the LeapMotion and controls the QuadCoptor?
** Hmmm, not a bad idea if I**
Hmmm, not a bad idea if I can hack the hand controller sufficiently. Response time may be a challenge from what I’ve seen with so far with leap motion, but I have not dug very deep into the developer tools yet. My plan has been to interface with my VADER robot. VADER has two arms and pinchers in addition to a mobile base and articulating head. He is still in work however so that is a longer term goal.
I’m full of good ideas;
I’m full of good ideas; terrible at the execution of them
Depending on the communication between the control and the quad a microcontroller with the appropriate comms module could sort out getting the commands out.
With a bit of modular thinking the one app could have settings for both the Hubsan and VADER; it recognises the input gesture, and depending on the selected device, send the appropriate command via the appropriate method of communication
I own a similar quadcopter.
I have about the same quadcopter without camera from a different Chinese manufacturer, doing a review is no problem. There’s only one but: I only do honest reviews (especially on Youtube), so the tiny Hubsan camera better be worth the extra money. (My quadcopter was just under $30.)
Hey, I’ve flown many a
Hey, I’ve flown many a mini-copter (we sell them at my retail job) as well as built a racing specc’ed 250 class from scratch - I’d be happy to add a new piece to my armada in exchange for a hearty review.
And yeah I’ve posted a few times.
i want to review the copter
techset on youtube!
iv wanted one of these for quite some time now and thats because its like vertual reality in real life.
but i would love to hack it for either mind or muscle sensing gesture contol.
Hey, I’d like to review this
Hey, I’d like to review this quadcopter. I’m currently trying to build a quadcopter myself from scratch and getting a ready to fly one would be a good opportunity to learn how one works and would help me understand how to program one. I also have a youtube channel with a decent amont of veiws.
I’ve been a member for a little over 2 years now and here are a few of my LMR posts :
Thank you so much JGendron
Thank you so much JGendron !! I’m really looking forward to reviewing the hubsan!
