I did an autonomous mission flight using the ArduPilot "Auto mode" with my Quadcopter V1. The quadcopter followed a path of waypoints while facing an "interest point" (and tracking it with the gimbal). The mission was defined using DroidPlanner 2. At the end of the video, I display the GPS track log. The maximum error between the waypoints and the GPS track log is about 3 meters.
