Actually a good video to watch for thoose who intend trying this ... this is what to expect when it comes to behavior.
But it kinda makes me feel really bad watching this.

I was thinking about this for a while and ...

Isn´t there other better suited camera equipment to use indoors ... really ?

Seems to know a lot about the Inspire.  How could he not know you can use the C1 button to switch the camera between pitch and yaw?!!!!

Some good bits.  I didn't know about the orientation lock.   

Only got through the first few minutes, will have to watch it a bit at a time.

Orientation lock ... thats the IOC ... ?

I use it to impress a bystander (that actually knows something about RC flight).
Hovering the Bird i front of me, nose out, switch to IOC and reset, push left stick left and right stick up causing the bird to spin, traveling in a straight line forward

More useful if you want to fly the bird in a straight line and use the left stick to yaw the camera through the "bypass" or what ever you are trying to shoot ...

Neat, I'll have to try that.   So what do you do to make that work?

Just toggle the flight mode selector to IOC mode ... the menu with the reset option will appear automatically on the screen ... push the reset button and then the X to close the menu.

Remember to line up the bird before you press reset!


If something goes wrong or acts funny just put the mode switch back to atti or GPS mode.
I used this 5 or 6 times and it has worked flawlessly!

He had a lot of fun with his mate's Inspire until he crashed it into a building and set fire to it.. ...

Yes ... this guy seems to have a lot of "accidents" ...
His camera operator must have some huge "balls" shooting this indoor flight with him as the pilot.

The move he does going down stairs (17:25) breaking eye contact with the bird is not something I would be comfortable doing.

This is of course something that you can try in the simulator first ...

Good idea!

w1der, that is an awesome application for that maneuver. I have been trying to do that for days manually and I can pretty much keep the bird in a strait line while doing it but having the computer do it is a much better choice. Thanks for that tip.

Many thanks,
Houston
