This is an alternate edit (that emphasizes the drone performance/problems) of the video documenting the recent, much more successful field test of my motor-bicycle creation, the "Mark III." Bike improvements/innovations since my last video at the same location a year ago include a swap-out of the 36T Chainring for a higher-torque 24T-- HUGE IMPROVEMENT, and I fabricated & installed "spacer-plates" to prevent chain derailment, which worked flawlessly.
NOT SO FLAWLESS, is the performance of my Skydio 2 camera drone, after installing the latest firmware "update" (released late-summer of 2023), which seems to have DEGRADED tracking capabilities and WORSENED wireless connectivity.
What this video is REALLY about is showing these flaws and how I dealt with them during the shoot for the "Original-Cut" version of this video, which is centered on the BIKE (viewable on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZFvrxMVxPQQ?si=tk66L6ERAT3KMB2F)
