Amazed at the stability. Is it typical for drones of this caliber? I would think weather would have knocked them off course at the very least.
The company that made the video and builds those drones, Ascending Technologies GmbH, is developing high-end systems targeted towards industry and universities. As far as I know, they have the only triple redundant flight controler and their own gps, which in combination is one of the most precise solutions their is [1]. It compensates winds of up to 15 m/s on its own. Their technology also powers the upcoming Volocopter [2]. So as surely the consumer drones get better and better each year, their is something to be have for a bit more money, right? ;)
