Disclaimer again: This is a really long video, not aimed at short entertainment but trying to answer the questions of a few of you of how I get on and how I like the DJI FPV drone.
Still love it - still scary but a bit less so. The worst part is: I need a spotter. Not finding one kept me on the ground for three days.
Been flying for 14 days now (not every one of them), using M-mode, the last times without angle restriction. Works well as long as you wear the goggles (and have a spotter). S-mode works with an iPad as well but is far less fun.

Music: Audiio.com




Hope you see the 4K version. YouTube seems to take more than the night to calculate!

Great job Depp.    Seems you're getting much better at the controls and more confident.  I loved the flip.  Glad you found a spotter and got some more flights in.  Have a great day.

Now it's 4K
If you get the link to a spotter, I'd be more than interested ;-)

BTW, did you like the quality of the footage. People say the dark areas are too dark...

They mostly find something to place with. Shouldn't be too obvious though ;-)

Don't mind if you publish, masking "my girlfriend's" face is a nice touch...

I look forward, to could test one. I like the speed, but it seems difficult to control the Drone in a calm condition.

You can start very slowly in normal mode (because of the goggles it's even easier than flying a Mavic, switch to sport mode, which is easy but a lot quicker. Then switch to M mode with altitude leveling or whatever they call it. Before that use a simulator like Velocidrone (DJI's own offering looks good but works badly) for 20 $ with the DJI remote. Unless you fly very close to things it's really not that dangerous. Hard to fly smoothly but that'll just take practice.

Good morning S.

here is the result.

I think you will be very very happy with this drone, It was so small corrections needed, I just made a technical color correction to it. No fancy stuff.

Thanks for the support

I'm with you there.

Plus the need for wide open spaces.
Here in NL that means 'grassland' .
Not the most interesting to capture.

Understandable. And you have a lot of no fly zones...

Good morning S.

here is the result.

Took a look at it on the phone. Will have to watch and compare at home. Might be a good idea to put the WB to manual and the exposure/framerate as well. Will have to experiment a bit more...
