The FPV used in this chapter is mounted on the tiltable platform described in Chapter 7. By tilting the camera downward, toward the ground, it is possible to observe the ground while hovering. This capability is highly useful for security purposes as well as for activities, such as search and rescue, damage assessment, or wildlife monitoring. ...
