The quality of the people here are second to none. More older guys on average that other forums. Higher ratio of commercial users as well.

What version of Arducopter are you running? There's a new version just released that appears to have some major improvements that might help in your case. In spite of being a huge 3DR fan I gave up on using Arducopter on my large copter some time ago. I actually started with the APM on it pre Pixhawk days. Did a lot of testing but needed to move on so eventually put a Wookong on it so I could get to work. But I still have a Pixhawk on my hexa which I've set up for mapping and it's working fantastic! It's just amazing to watch it go through it's automated missions and come home to a perfect landing. I think the combination of the new Pixhawk 2 with it's internal stabilization and the new firmware will be a real winner.

I'm running AC 3.3-rc 11, yeah the new AC is pretty good, been only seeing the positives and not the negatives others have been having but in their case it's almost always down to config/pilot error.

Every tool has it's purpose and I agree, the DJI stuff may be better for AP/AV but it's almost as if AC was made for mapping. I love it. They're like Mac and Linux, both have their purpose

It's just amazing to watch it go through it's automated missions and come home to a perfect landing.

I'm in awe every time that thing lands on auto, blows me away at how smooth the landings are.

We're all pretty hopeful, just with it would get here already hehe
