Drones in the Filmindustry

The film industry has always been a hub of technological innovation, constantly pushing the boundaries of storytelling through advancements in cinematography. Among the most transformative developments in recent years is the use of drones, which have revolutionized the way filmmakers capture aerial and dynamic shots. Drones have democratized aerial cinematography, making it accessible to filmmakers of all budgets while enabling creative possibilities that were once unimaginable.

RPM Filtering

RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) filtering on a drone is a technique used to mitigate or reduce the noise and vibrations caused by the drone’s motors. Drones typically have spinning motors that generate vibrations, and these vibrations can interfere with the flight controller, leading to poor performance, instability, or even crashes. RPM filtering is specifically designed to address this issue.

Mastering PID Tuning

PID tuning on a drone refers to adjusting the Proportional, Integral, and Derivative (PID) settings of the flight controller to improve the drone’s flight performance. These three components work together to ensure that the drone responds accurately and smoothly to control inputs, such as yaw, pitch, and roll, and maintains stable flight even when external factors (like wind) act on it.

System Software

Betaflight is an open-source flight controller software (firmware) used primarily for multirotor aircraft, such as drones and quadcopters. It is designed to provide stable flight performance, advanced tuning capabilities, and support for a wide range of hardware configurations. Betaflight is widely popular in the FPV (First Person View) drone racing and freestyle communities due to its flexibility, performance, and active development.

iNav (short for iNavFlight) is an open-source flight control software designed for autonomous and manual control of fixed-wing aircraft, multirotors, and other unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It is based on the Betaflight firmware but optimized for navigation, waypoint missions, and GPS-assisted flight, making it popular among long-range pilots, FPV (First-Person View) enthusiasts, and drone hobbyists.

FETTec Software is designed for use with FETTec flight controllers and electronic speed controllers (ESCs), primarily targeting FPV (First-Person View) drone pilots who require high-performance flight control and tuning capabilities.

ESC Software

AM32 is an open-source ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) firmware designed for high-performance brushless motors, commonly used in FPV drones, robotics, and other motor control applications. It is an alternative to proprietary ESC firmware like BLHeli_32 and offers customizability, efficiency, and advanced motor control features.

BLHeli_32 is a proprietary 32-bit ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) firmware designed for high-performance FPV drones, RC helicopters, and other brushless motor applications. It builds on the success of BLHeli_S but utilizes 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) for better performance, efficiency, and advanced features.

RX / TX Protocols

TBS Agent is a configuration and management software developed by Team BlackSheep (TBS) for updating, configuring, and managing TBS hardware, such as Crossfire, Tracer, Fusion, and other FPV-related devices.

ExpressLRS (ELRS) is an open-source, long-range, low-latency radio control (RC) link system designed for FPV drones, RC airplanes, and other remote-controlled vehicles. It provides high performance, flexibility, and affordability, making it one of the most popular RC link systems among FPV pilots and hobbyists.

PID Toolbox

PIDtoolbox is a specialized software suite designed for analyzing blackbox log data from multirotors, particularly within the FPV (First-Person View) drone community. It offers a set of graphical tools that assist pilots and drone enthusiasts in tuning and optimizing their drones’ performance.

Stabilization Software

Gyroflow is a video stabilization software that uses gyroscopic data to improve the stabilization of shaky footage. It is particularly useful for stabilizing videos recorded with cameras or drones that have a built-in gyroscope or for using external gyroscope sensors. The program is designed to correct shaky footage and make it smoother without the need for complex manual editing or the heavy computational cost often associated with traditional video stabilization techniques.
