[00:01:12] hey friends my name is Aaron Ciotti everybody calls me Ciotti welcome to the show it's fresh gear Friday DJI 04 released today it released yesterday I think it released yesterday and
[00:01:28] we're going to talk about the good the bad the ugly there's there's not much bad or ugly it's mainly good so if if you're if you click this in hopes of someone trashing on
[00:01:45] DJI I don't have a whole lot fair warning I do not have it this is a tiny little channel here Niche within an NCH within an itch within an inch DJI has no interest I'm sure in
[00:01:57] uh me but I've watched a ton of the reviews and lots of super talented people have put out flight footage and their thoughts and specs and all kinds of good stuff so by now most of you have
[00:02:12] probably seen a bunch of that stuff and I'm just since I don't have it this is the best that I can do and I know that a lot of folks are always kind of interested in what I think about
[00:02:27] this stuff so I'm going to do my best that flight footage just now was the 2S 75mm analog rig with a three a freshly charged 300 Mah 2S tiny whoop BT 3.0 battery we got snow here in
[00:02:50] Georgia this morning at 700 a.m. and I got up the family got up couple of no the most recent live stream Wednesday I tried to fix the 2S rig the 2S WalkSnail
[00:03:09] rig and I was almost there and then with either the TX or the RX wire broke off of the aiio and I just I just didn't have it in me at that point to keep working on
[00:03:23] it since I was awake I came on down here and fixed that wire I fixed something else oh what I I ended up when I when I stripped tins and reconnected that wire I
[00:03:39] accidentally touched the pad next to it and then that wire fell off and then the pad next to it didn't look all that great so I I desoldered that one as well when I resolder
[00:03:55] those three 30 gauge wires back on I I got them I did not keep them arranged properly with these little double stack builds wire management is really important because we're putting
[00:04:13] everything so close together that you can't have the wires twisting over one another you don't have the height for that so you have to have your wires set up properly here so that they're not
[00:04:25] Crossing all over each other you do have to have the GR go from the right side here to the left side of the WalkSnail builds and the voltage wire does the same thing but
[00:04:39] the TX and RX wires need to run flat and I just I had them all when I resered them I thought that I was doing it right but I had it I had them twisted like this so one of the wires went like full
[00:04:51] circle and then the other two wires crossed when they didn't need to cross and that adds a bunch of height and again we just we don't have that height to spare on these builds so I
[00:05:04] then desoldered two of the wires from the VTX and got them oriented properly so that they would all sit nice and flat got it all put back together super excited plug a battery in and it catches
[00:05:18] on fire during the live stream I had changed the routing of the BT 3.0 lead so I'd resolder that lead I have a funny feeling that when I was removing a little bit of solder by
[00:05:38] flicking the tip of the soldering iron here on the on the work mat I think that I might have sent a solder ball up onto the AO and I believe that's what made the AIO catch on fire so that's how I
[00:05:55] started my day the 2S WalkSnail rig is now down again and I'm pretty sure that I need to buy another one of these BetaFPV 12 amp version 3 aios which I might not be able to do
[00:06:12] somebody somebody left a comment on one of my live streams that I saw this morning sayingwhere are you finding those BetaFPV 12 amp version 3 aios they're sold out everywhere so now I
[00:06:28] have a weird feeling that they they might have discontinued this AIO hopefully that person just didn't search in enough places and I can find it in stock somewhere because I really like
[00:06:39] it we'll see I I have not I have not had a chance to this was a working rig there's no reason for this AIO to have caught on fire the way that it did I checked my work on on the flight
[00:06:58] controller pads going up to the VTX and on the VTX none of those are bridged together so it was either totally random that it caught on fire or a solder ball when I pull it apart maybe I'll be
[00:07:13] able to see where it went up in Flames it actually didn't there was no fire there was just a pretty significant puff of smoke so that was how I started my day
[00:07:30] and then I grabbed the 0802 2S analog rig here so I then grabbed this guy Wow Computer you are you are really testing my patience here today I don't know what's going on but this
[00:07:51] computer is running horribly today so this is the analog 0802 19,000 KV rig my favorite of the analog 2S rigs at the moment started flying this whole bunch of jello as you can see and wait
[00:08:08] this ain't it that's not it that's not the file that I want that's the file that I played during the intro here it is so 802 2S analog rig oh great this will okay that's not it
[00:08:24] either what is happening here it is here it is 802 analog rig all right CR we're going to we're going to fly the snow fantastic all right let's take off and start flying oh my God what is happening what
[00:08:42] is going on with the video quality lots of jello too when everything is all white the shutter speed Goes Bananas to try to get some exposure so the the jello makes sense but the
[00:08:58] I I couldn't fly more than like 20 ft away without the video quality going to Absolute hell so I came back inside and saw that there was no antenna on it's a little bit hard to get into
[00:09:12] these canopies to fix the to reconnect an antenna so I just went back downstairs put it down grabbed the 102 rig that's what you guys saw in the intro was me flying the 102 2s
[00:09:30] analog build you may have noticed and that was a fully charged battery and the run time was like I don't know 50 seconds the the cold lipos hate the cold little tiny tiny whoop lipos
[00:09:49] apparently really hate the cold unbelievable how how short the runtime was on these little 2s3 300s and then so I I had a bunch of 1S 300's charged okay so in the in
[00:10:09] the here I'll pull it back up in the flight footage from the intro right you see the voltage so we're at 17 seconds and the battery is all the way down to 3.5 volts 3.4 right already getting a
[00:10:21] low battery warning at 23 seconds this I'm holding that battery right I'm gonna let this play so that you can watch what happens with the voltage I'll even make it full screen
[00:10:33] now we're down to 3.35 3.4 this is that battery that I'm holding in my hand no it's not hold on I will find that battery look at the voltage 1.4 1.3 look at it oh I was
[00:10:49] trying to go Full Throttle to get the battery to warm up a little bit that's one of the tricks when you're flying in the cold is to use more throttle to get the battery to warm up
[00:10:59] this is that battery I've not recharged this can you see it there you can see it this is that battery that is how bad the cold affects these batteries it just it just kills
[00:11:16] them and it was it was snowing outside right so it was what like 32° pretty much whatever the the temperature is that snow happens so it wasn't 0 de out but I mean it was obviously cold
[00:11:29] so render says it sounds like a bad battery nope just the cold the the small with we talk about this a lot batteries un pouches lipo pouches which are what these batteries
[00:11:44] are made of under 450 Mah perform horrible this is a 300 these are also 300s so I then grabbed the Snow White build because if you're going to fly a rig in the snow why not have it be the
[00:12:03] most white one that you've got so that if it goes down you have no chance of finding it and so here comes my attempt at flying a 1S rig no idea quad's totally fine HD zero
[00:12:26] goggles just start freaking out right so that happens and then power it down power it back up and this is what I get little bit of video right cool now we're back all right great just had to power cycle
[00:12:42] the HD zero goggles no sweat does it again battery is fully charged and we're inside this is not this is not quad related this is the goggles freaking out power cycle the goggles again now we're
[00:12:58] back I forget what was happening here I don't remember what was going on here but there we go so now we're flying the 1S rig and I actually remembered to turn the
[00:13:16] to turn the OSD off this time I was kind of pissed on that previous video I forgot to flip the switch to turn the OSD off these are my neighbors the plansky and so they were out sledding
[00:13:28] and and through all this nonsense they're now done sledding which I was kind of pissed off about because it chasing a subject is super fun but I decided let's just fly around the
[00:13:38] house in the snow immediate land now low battery warnings so the 1S folded cell BT 2.0 batteries no better this is a perfect example of 300 Mah cells are like they're
[00:13:58] we are absolutely pushing the limits of what's possible with tiny whoops and if you throw anything that's like not ideal at them like low temperature they just completely Fall to Pieces this is a
[00:14:14] little bit better run time like we're at about a minute now this is probably about 50 seconds this probably like one minute total runtime from a battery that railing inside the house gets like
[00:14:27] 2 and a half minutes to three so th this is the first time that I've flown these tiny little batter so that was that's a that build is a CO3 camera in a BetaFPV canopy shitty
[00:14:42] whip antenna with the ground plane removed to make it Ultra lightweight newbie drone cockroach V3 frame wee bed 0702 40,000 KV Motors and this is the Matrix 5 in one the BetaFPV Matrix
[00:14:59] 5 in1 AO the rig performed fine but the battery just in the cold these little 300 Mah batteries are pretty much worthless although I mean I got a minute of runtime it's better than nothing I
[00:15:11] got a little bit of runtime right I flew over to the neighbors and flew out in the snow for not very long but they kind of work just you got to understand that you got to understand
[00:15:23] that if you're going to fly a tiny whoop in 30° weather you're going to get about a minute of run time there you go there's a low battery warning already signal is a hot mess because the antenna
[00:15:33] sucks I I should not have flown this rig I should have flown one with a micro V antenna but I I just I saw when I was grabbing one of these 1S builds I saw that it was all white and I was like oh
[00:15:45] that's fitting so there's one of the neighbors that's actually not a plonky that's their neighbor sledding in their front yard this is the the the video performance that you
[00:16:00] get when you take one of these whip antennas and you remove the ground plane it sucks it's super super super lightweight it's like 02 of a gram but if you're going to try to fly it outside
[00:16:11] from standing inside your front door the range is going to suck that kind of goes without saying but and that's it that that's all the flying I did I was like well I can
[00:16:24] keep what else was I going to do if ID kept flying I would have put it into the s snow and it would probably have survived but I'm not going to take the chance it's I got a little bit of
[00:16:37] flying in didn't have a chance to fly WalkSnail because the universe didn't want me to I decided not to fly I I do have the 1S 65mm WalkSnail rigs I decided not to fly them because I knew
[00:16:50] that the the the batteries were going to get hammered by the cold anyway and with WalkSnail 1S rigs have pretty short times as it is my guess would have been flying a WalkSnail 1S rig I would have
[00:17:04] gotten like 30 seconds of runtime and then lost it in in the snow and then with my luck the WalkSnail VTX would have shat the bed hopefully when this 2S rig exploded it did not take the
[00:17:20] walks snail VTX with it that would be WalkSnail Light number four that that possibly has failed on me I have three sitting in a bag here that I need to do the repair process to get
[00:17:35] them back to cadx so that was my morning DJI 04 is the main topic of conversation for this live stream although as with all live streams this is
[00:17:51] Q&A and so I'm going to get caught up on chat in a second here but just super quick 04 phenomenal I ordered with my own affiliate link I actually remembered from get FPV I ordered the
[00:18:07] lightweight one which they're just calling the 04 air unit and I almost didn't order one of the pros but what I remembered is that I want to do a cine whooop build with the 04 Pro and not
[00:18:21] carry a GoPro hold on I got to anybody wearing headphones is probably very annoyed all right now you'll be less now you'll be less annoyed I had to move the I had to move our air
[00:18:37] purifier thing down here into the basement because when when we light fires in the fireplace upstairs wood burning fires for whatever reason all of the the fumes and
[00:18:51] allergens just dump down the stairwell into the basement and I've just been absolutely suffering for the past couple of days from that and so I'm trying to get a handle on it because I
[00:19:03] don't want to be a Grinch and be no fires because Maggie loves fires in the fireplace upstairs and they romantic I guess but my my allergies are are paying the
[00:19:18] price unfortunately so yeah4 wild wild wild wild we're going to dive into if you haven't watched it already I'm going to link it right now Chris roster's video is phenomenal there's a link in chat
[00:19:33] watch it for sure lots of really good points he hits pretty much all the bases he shows comparison stuff we're just going to bounce around in that video a little bit and look at a
[00:19:47] bunch of stuff the good and the bad of the ugly are basically that the good is like 98% of it the pad and the Ugly are that the lightweight 04 air unit which I think they should have called
[00:20:02] the 04 light but whatever the 04 air unit the the 10 G one the field of view the field of view is only 120° which is awful narrow Chris does a comparison though of it against uh the Avatar
[00:20:24] nope the nope the Avatar and the field of doesn't look much different we're we're going to we're going to jump to that in a second here but yeah I was I was I was shocked at
[00:20:37] that the other the other kind of bad slash ugly is the obviously like the latency right as the video quality goes up the latency also goes up the and we'll hit he did a super
[00:20:58] helpful little graph of that that we'll click on and just kind of take a look at that's about it though I I guess if if you really so those would be like the ugly I guess the bad would be
[00:21:11] the fact that the the lightweight 04 air unit you cannot power via 1S without a step up 5volt regulator at 10 grams that doesn't really matter you do not want to build a 1S rig with a 10 G
[00:21:31] payload that is going to just its flight performance two these 2 s rigs that we've been these 2S 75s that we've been doing are a miracle way more power and way more runtime and like
[00:21:47] the total weight gain when you run these amazing little tiny whoop 2S 300 bt3 po0 batteries is 2 G so for two extra grams you get way more power and way more runtime and realistically that
[00:22:03] completely eliminates any reason whatsoever to build a 1S rig that is 75mm a 10 G payload on a 65mm 1S rig is going to suck it's going to be too heavy to take advantage of the fact that
[00:22:23] you're building it Ultra small the run time is going to suck you're going to be forced to run these massive 465 milliamp wee bed batteries which are going to stick out the front
[00:22:36] like you're jousting with your quad so you're not going to be able to crash because if you crash you're going to hit the battery and that's going to shove the battery back and try to rip off the
[00:22:47] the battery lead so you can't crash it the flight performance is going to suck because the propellers are so small you're going to make the motors are going to get awful hot you're not
[00:22:58] going to want do that on 72s so you're going to go like 802s and now it's even heavier for a 65 it's just it's not going to make any sense the the people that are going
[00:23:10] to do 1S 65mm builds are either they just don't understand or they're just trying to be different they're they're just trying to get you to click their video essentially because oh look it's
[00:23:25] the lightest weight 04 bill on Earth H and then they're going to fly it and it's going to suck or they're not going to fly it and they're just going to talk all about the build right so
[00:23:39] don't do that 04 makes little to no sense for a 65 millim especially a 65mm but also for 1S right to do a 1S build you have to run an external becc which is adding even more weight In
[00:23:58] fairness BetaFPV does have a new 1S board coming out with a giant jst plug on top and they've built in a 5volt becc so technically that will that will save you the extra weight and
[00:24:16] complexity of running that step up 5vt becc but still it's not going to be light enough a 10 G payload is way too much for a 65mm build and it's also too much for a 1S build 2S is hands down
[00:24:33] the way to go you're not going to have to worry about any of that nonsense you can send it straight battery voltage and even when the battery sags down you're going to be totally fine and you're
[00:24:42] going to get a rig that actually flies half decent so I can't wait to see how many people build 1S 04 rigs that fly like complete anus we'll see uh but I mean you know
[00:25:00] I get it I get it I I've I've fallen victim to like the oh I I got to do something that's different I got to do something that's different right that's what people will want to watch you
[00:25:13] know do you want something that you would like to fly or do you want people to watch you do a build or or look at the pictures of your build if if that's what if
[00:25:27] that's what makes you smile I guess go for it I don't care about that I want stuff that flies good and has half decent runtime and for a 10 G payload a 10 G VTX and camera unquestionably
[00:25:43] that is 2S 75mm you could go up to 85 mil I don't really think you're going to need to I've flown a ton of batteries now on this WalkSnail 2S 75mm rig and it has all the power and runtime that I need on
[00:26:03] these little tiny 300 Mah batteries if I want more runtime I can run the 450 Mah 2S BT 2. 3.0 batteries It's The Sweet Spot for sure going up to 85mm puts a bigger duct in front so you get even
[00:26:19] more duct in view which is just silly wny are you going to do that it's going to get a bunch heavier it's going to be harder to shoot the tiny little gaps in the garden
[00:26:28] 75 is the way the the run time is there the power is there you're going to have something that's as quiet as it can be so if you want to go fly like in Target or in the mall or something like
[00:26:42] that there's less chance of you getting yelled at by security 75 is the way to go 855 also has even less of a part selection than 75 right like we're super spoiled with 65mm rigs
[00:26:57] there's tons of frames tons of aios tons of propellers and so you can build a 65mm analog rig or HD zero rig or WalkSnail to be like absolutely perfect for you when we go up to 75 the
[00:27:13] amount of options significantly decreases but we still have a couple really good setups that we've talked about a ton on these live streams when you go up to 85 the situation gets even
[00:27:25] worse there's like one frame that's decent I don't really know if there are any propellers that are really good there are some props that are decent motor selection like good luck right like
[00:27:39] who's who's really done a lot of testing with 85 MIM prop guarded setups I've never seen it so you're going to be on your own trying to figure out what the right KV is what the right motor
[00:27:52] size is and then you're going to have a ton of duct in view because the frame is like gigantic and your C in order to have the weight balanced on all four Motors your camera is going to be
[00:28:05] relatively centralized and so 85 mil just doesn't make a whole lot of sense especially with how good 75 is so in my opinion and we will be testing this as soon as my 04 light
[00:28:22] I'm going to keep calling it arrives and I figure out what to do in terms of a build um I'll have more info for you soon the the WalkSnail 2S 75 is a 6 G payload and it flies awesome
[00:28:38] and the runtime is great so an extra four grams should be totally fine little bit less power to weight ratio little bit less efficient runtime I think will be completely fine I have this thing
[00:28:53] motor limited down to like 80% I think and so so I'll just bump that up to 85 or 90% And then I'll maintain my power to rate ratio yes the runtime will go down a little bit for sure but that's a
[00:29:09] sacrifice that we make with tiny little lightweight rigs right buy more batteries going up to 85 yes it's going to get you a little bit of efficiency back but the other negatives are I
[00:29:24] think going to be too much I think this is going to be the way to go if you want more run time you run the 450 Mah 2S batteries if you R if you want better flight performance you run the 2S BT 3.0
[00:29:38] 300 mahh tiny whoop batteries when they come back in stock or you can do a double pigtail and run double 300 Mah BT 2.0 batteries that's also a really good way to do it that's the way that I
[00:29:51] built the tiny lifters way back when and so uh the tiny lifters are where a lot of my 2S payload 2S rigs with heavy payload knowledge comes from and I built those tiny lifters I think it's been over two
[00:30:12] years now and then much more recently for like the last 6 months of 2024 basically I've had the the 2S WalkSnail rig with a 6 G payload and now more recently 2S analog rigs with like kind
[00:30:28] of no payload right and so I'm probably more dialed on 2S 2s tiny whoops carrying weight than anybody else in the FPV world it's like a it's a super specific thing which is why right
[00:30:45] like this is not me like boasting at how great I am it's more me saying like I'm the crazy one that spent more time than anyone on these weird builds but it's coming in super handy because this
[00:30:58] little 04 uh light air unit is a 10 G payload the the tiny lifters in in case you don't know what I'm talking about I have two of these but this is the tiny lifter this was designed way
[00:31:15] back when to carry initially this was designed to carry the insta 360 go one they just called it the insta 360 go which was a 19 G payload and then when the insta 360 go2 came out that was a 26
[00:31:31] G payload so this was uh red to death I tested a ton of different Motors a ton of different ways of mounting it a ton of different propellers different battery setups
[00:31:47] and the the the the final sort of formula that I settled on was RC and Power 102 at the time I did their lower KV motors which were what are they 14,000 I think right I wish they made the text smaller
[00:32:06] so even with a 5x magnifying loop I can't read them 14,000 yep so 102 14,000 KV Motors at 100% motor limiting nowadays and just like in general if you're going to get these RC and power
[00:32:23] 102s they're a great motor get them in 19,000 KV and then just motor limit them down a little bit in BetaFlight in the pids tab that way if you want more power you can turn the power up the
[00:32:36] the at 14,000 KV they they have just barely enough for this to fly like a lifter the name TIN Tiny lifter came from the fact that this thing doesn't fly all that great nowadays lifters
[00:32:53] fly a lot better because they've dialed in the propeller motor combos but two years ago when I was really going hard on this the lifters kind of flew like and this kind of flies like
[00:33:05] but it's carrying 26 gram right is a ton of payload for a 75mm rig right and so that's kind of where a lot of that testing started I have two of these the other one is on BetaFPV
[00:33:20] 1102 Motors which are 14 or 15,000 KV as well no no no I'm sorry they're 18,000 KV and then I have the motor limited down to I think 80% either motor flies really really well I can't
[00:33:36] necessarily decide between the 102s and the 1102s they're super similar the long and short is the 1102s are a little bit heavier but they've got a little bit more Stater volume so you get a little
[00:33:47] bit more power with this build and having such a heavy payload I was really trying to shave every single gram that I possibly could and I was blown away at at what a good job these 102s did so you
[00:34:01] really can't kind of can't go wrong if you're buying a bunch of parts to do one of these 2S builds and the website that you're buying the parts from has the 102s in stock or sells the 102s but not
[00:34:14] the 1102s get the 102s if they sell the BetaFPV 1102s but not the 102s get the what I'm saying like you most will not notice a difference
[00:34:28] even with a 26 gam payload I can barely notice a difference between the 10 and the 1102s now that I've done more testing on likee these analog setups and the WalkSnail setups I I can
[00:34:41] kind of tell the difference between the 1102s and the 102s and it's just that the 1102s are a little bit heavier and make a little bit more power the 102s are a little little bit lighter a little
[00:34:50] bit less power little bit better runtime the 1102s since they're making more power they're going to eat up more battery and they're heavier so you're going to get a little bit less run time
[00:34:58] like I said though can't go wrong with either one they're they're both a fantastic choice and most people won't really notice the difference to be totally honest with you
[00:35:10] which is a good thing that means they're both really good what I mean so let's dive into I'm really tempted to get caught up on chat but let's let's jump into some 04
[00:35:25] stuff we can we can cover most of the we can cover most of it pretty quick again watch I'm going to drop the link again into chat watch Chris rosser's video it is amazing he hits all the
[00:35:39] bases he did a phenomenal job this is the pro fullsize 04 air unit the highlights here so 155 degrees field of view that's what we're totally used to that's pretty much what all of our
[00:35:53] FPV cam not all but most of our FPV cams and most h HD action cameras film at right 155 is like the number so totally standard fov that you'll be used to and whatever
[00:36:07] nothing to really talk about there the really cool thing about the 04 air unit Pro in my opinion is that we get 4k 4x3 all the way up to 60 frames a second what that basically means is that for
[00:36:24] full-blown like set life you can use this thing instead of a GoPro Hero 12 13 whatever we're going to talk about the the the action five the DJI action five in a minute but basically this just
[00:36:41] means that you can you can fly this thing professionally without anybody bitching and moaning in 16 by9 it goes all the way up to a 120 frames a second which is amazing that is so so so
[00:36:55] good so the the that's really all I want an 130 megabits per second bit rate it is every bit as good as a GoPro Hero 12 you can you can sit there and tear these two apart and say like oh
[00:37:13] it's a little too sharp the colors are a little bit different that's stuff that if you hand if you fly professionally with it and you either edit's yourself or you hand it off to
[00:37:26] somebody to edit they can fix and post the end this is basically the exact same thing that's in the avat 2 and the avat 2 is being used on professional film sets all over the place and nobody's
[00:37:42] bitching about the quality and so the days of needing to carry an external action camera are kind of gone admittedly so potato jet did a r view where he compared it to the brand
[00:38:01] new DJI action 5 which has phenomenal low light performance and yes the DJI action 5 does a little bit better in super super super low light situations and
[00:38:17] so you can still maybe kind of sort of argue that every once in a while to be to be the best possible cinematic FPV pilot you're going to do your you're going to do a cop build or a 5-in build
[00:38:38] or whatever with this built in and in 98% of situations if you're dead cat if your props are out of view or if it's a cine whoop this is going to get the job done and you can take advantage of 120 to 130
[00:38:55] less grams on your rig which is huge that's going to give you a bunch more runtime a bunch more agility a bunch more ability to shoot tiny little gaps but you should have a way of mounting
[00:39:14] you should also have an action five a DJI action five and a way of mounting it so that if you're flying deep into blue hour you can slap that thing on top put a bigger battery on there if you've
[00:39:29] moved to a smaller battery since your all up weight has come down so much and there you go if you want to be completely insane You could argue that you should have two separate builds you should have
[00:39:44] one build with the 04 air unit totally optimized for just that all up weight with batteries that are the perfect size for that as light as possible and then another build with
[00:39:59] in my opinion old school DJI because it's the lightest weight option and it's phenomenal in low light right and then a TPU action five mount on top you you want to have
[00:40:18] redundancy you want to have multiple builds anyway if you just show up to any kind of like a professional thing with just one single rig you're insane there's a there's a saying in the
[00:40:34] video world two is one and one is none meaning one one is none meaning you show up with that one rig and inevitably it's going to catch on fire as soon as you plug power in or on the ride over it's
[00:40:47] going to magically stop working right this is FPV this is the FPV experience and so that's where that saying comes from in any sort of professional setting if you don't show up with two of
[00:41:00] something knowing that one of those two is going to catch on fire you're just not professional basically like sorry if that's you but that's just the truth that is a hard truth that you need to be
[00:41:14] told if if you didn't already know that I'm happy to tell you that even if you're pissed and you now click off and say what a jerk it's the truth it's the truth you have to have redundancy
[00:41:25] you have to have at least two of pretty much everything I am I'm very uncomfortable when I fly places and my flight bag only has enough room for one transmitter the fact that I only bring
[00:41:41] one single transmitter makes me super nervous because two is one and one is none transmitters are pretty damn durable SL reliable Christ I've I've been where is it no it's down there
[00:41:57] there now this is all torn apart because of the LED light strip Fiasco but I used this transmitter for over eight years and it never once let me down one of the reasons that I don't I
[00:42:13] don't stay on this like buy the brand new transmitter every time it comes out train is because reliability is the number one thing and these qx7s have been outrageously reliable and they
[00:42:27] also fit my my big long gangly hands really really well so I I I I don't know what I'm going to do about my my professional gear setup here I I do have the 104 Pro coming and
[00:42:44] that is going to be going into the sinore 2 that I kind of paused on the build because I had a funny feeling that I might end up wanting to put 04 into it um it's only a couple of extra grams like
[00:43:01] in I already have the the the the TPU their hero 12 mounts but at some point here I need to switch look there is no reason for a hero 12 at this point like I I got it because my hero
[00:43:21] 10 warranty was about to run out and the action five had just come out but I couldn't get it in the store and I had a gig a gig coming up and so I got the hero 12 to just kind of get me by and I
[00:43:34] got the the warranty on it at this point there's no real reason for the hero 12 the the 04 air unit Pro gives you the same performance the DJI action five hands down gives you better low
[00:43:53] light performance so it still does kind of make sense to have an action five and a way of mounting it whether you do that on the same rig or a different rig that's kind of on you the the lowlight
[00:44:09] performance of 04 is damn good but 04 is heavier than old school Vistas and the low light performance is not quite as good so having a bill having a c a cine whoop with old school Vista
[00:44:27] is going to get you that better low light performance and then you can put the action five on top what you don't get from the old school Vistas is the
[00:44:37] unbelievable link quality that the 04 gives you I've been flying Vistas on set for over three years and I have never once had a scenario where I ran out of range might I have have done a a
[00:44:59] different shot once or twice maybe if I had additional range I guess but I I really I cannot remember a time where like when when you're on set using these things
[00:45:13] professionally it's you're usually like pretty close it's a set there's like shitloads of people there's there's camera operators there's Gaffers there's there's going to be a place that you can
[00:45:25] stand most of the time where range is not an issue every once in a while could there be like an unbelievable scenario where like having a ton of range would be a benefit
[00:45:39] sure that's why you have two rigs that's why you have one rig with the 04 air unit Pro that's got all the range in the world and then if you're flying super super super and look if you're flying
[00:45:52] super low light you should not be flying way to all the way to the ends of your range anyway right like the FAA says you need to be close enough that you have a line of sight and that's not going to be
[00:46:05] super far away right so the only scenario where you might get caught out would be when you want to really push range in super super super low light and to be honest all you need to have is a
[00:46:18] 3D printed mount for the action five for your 04 air unit Pro rig right in my case the s spor too and so you throw that TPU printed thing in your bag and you're and you're covered across the
[00:46:33] board but it is wild that we can now have a built-in FPV and HD setup that gives us GoPro Hero 12 quality ass loads of range it's going to let us save 100 well so we're going
[00:46:53] to save the the 120 gram or whatever the action cameras way the O the 04 air unit is a little bit heavier right the camera's a little bit bigger for the bigger sensor I mean Christ speaking
[00:47:08] of the sensor the the sensor in the 04 air unit Pro is bigger than the GoPro Hero 12 but the hero 12 is still an incredible camera so this is crazy the the the performance of the o4 a unit
[00:47:24] Pro is wild we knew it was going to be wild because we kind of knew it was what's in the aada 2 but it's great that it's actually this good Chris did an an incredible little
[00:47:38] comparison here of the ' 04 versus where does he put the where does he put the things on screen come on there it is DJI 03 WalkSnail Moon light GoPro Hero 12 12 black DJI
[00:47:57] 04 Pro this is fantastic one of the many reasons you need to watch his his review here and now this is the little tiny 10 G air unit the DJI 04 light which is what I think they
[00:48:13] should have called it and look at that there's the fov 117.5 very narrow fov All Things Considered don't mind the screaming that is our 14-year-old she has no ability to play video games with out
[00:48:27] sounding like she's being stabbed in the head the video resol everything is is is all of the specs are rained in of course you go from a giant sensor a big old heat sink down to a
[00:48:44] single 25x 25 board but these specs are all significantly better than the best that we've had which has been the WalkSnail Avatar which is still really really good 4K unbelievable 4K 4x3
[00:49:00] all the way up to 60 frames a second 4K 16 by9 also up to 60 frames a second 1080 4x3 or 16x9 all the way up to 120 frames a second that is so cool I can't wait to chase the little RC drift
[00:49:18] cars at 120 frames a second that should be really really fun admittedly it is going to be hard hard to chase them with a 2S 75mm rig this is not a WalkSnail killer the this little
[00:49:39] 65 mm 1S WalkSnail light rig is this is still going to be the main way that I chase RC drift cars the difference in 6 G versus 10 grams on something this small is Mega when I
[00:50:02] add one gram to these little rigs that I chase the the RC drift cars with that happens when I change the cameras and that happened a bunch when Timmons and I were farting around with the
[00:50:14] Batwing mounts I can S I can tell the difference and so adding four grams to this thing is a bit much it's also going to completely grenade the all the things we talked about earlier it's
[00:50:26] going to grenade their runtime and so I don't know if I'm going to do a 1S 04 light setup I'm pretty happy with this in terms of the image quality so I'm not
[00:50:48] sure I probably will when when the new WalkSnail I'm sorry when the new BetaFPV aiio comes out that has a becc on board they've basically they're coming out with a no a threein one
[00:51:08] right flight controller ESC receiver um AO that is specifically designed to work with with HD vtx's let's say but the timing is right on top of the 04 air unit and so when that comes
[00:51:27] out I will see if they want to send me one they've been pretty good about sending me stuff lately once I have it I'll be super curious and I'll either buy another one of the 04 lights or pull
[00:51:43] it out of the 2S build that I will hopefully have done by then and I'll almost certainly take a look but I don't know man the the extra six grams of WalkSnail really kills the
[00:51:56] perform performance of these little things to chase those little RC drift cars the the analog versions of these that I have it's night and day and so we'll see I'll probably
[00:52:12] screw around with it but I think this is it for for chasing those guys with HD I I think this the the WalkSnail Avatar is is the way to go the extra six Gams are for real
[00:52:25] noticeable but 1080 60 frames it just looks so good right I've got a couple of edits here on the channel that I've done with these guys in it and it's just wild sure going up to 4K would be
[00:52:39] awesome but the the the flight performance of analog chasing the RC drift cars is incredible I can drop down on their door I can get these amazing angles and shots once I
[00:52:57] go up to this rig I'm significantly Limited in the the shots that I can get but the quality of the video makes up for it to then go even farther and make the flight performance even worse but then
[00:53:14] go to 4K like the the the image quality from this is good enough where you don't watch these edits here let me let me shill myself out for a second by the way C fv.com is where you can support me
[00:53:31] this is a completely crowdfunded thing that I've got going that way when I review stuff I can say that it sucks and nobody stops sending me stuff that I rely on so there's this one RC
[00:53:42] drifting like you've never seen before dropping the link into the chat and then there is there should be another one from early days yeah here it is
[00:53:59] this is the this is the analog one so there there are analog edits in here and then there are digital edits in here you'll notice when you watch the analog edits the the flying is better the
[00:54:12] angles that I'm able to get are better because there's six less grams here it is so what you want to do is you want to watch analog FPV invades RC drifting from a year ago and then you
[00:54:24] want to watch tiny whoop RC drift chasing with 100% more HD these are both from a year ago this is early days of me chasing the RC drift cars so me as a pilot is pretty similar in skill level
[00:54:37] between these two videos and you'll notice yes the image quality looks way better with the WalkSnail but I'm not able to fly as good and then if you and then from seven months ago
[00:54:51] there's another analog edit here there's actually two analog edits 7 months ago eight months ago so I'm a better pilot here and then this is me at the be flying the best that I have this is from
[00:55:04] three months ago so keep that in mind as I chase these guys more and more every week I got better at it but I think you'll still see in these analog edits that I'm able to be lower to the ground
[00:55:18] and track the subject the the rapidly moving subject a lot faster and a lot easier and so the Ang angles the camera angles that I'm able to get on analog are significantly better than on
[00:55:31] than with HD the 04 light is going to make that situation even worse and I don't think that the further increase in video quality from 1080 to 4K is going to make up for it does that make sense
[00:55:48] hopefully that makes sense certainly as a pilot it's not going to be as much fun the most fun that I have chasing those guys is with the analog rigs so if you're going to go to RC an RC drift car
[00:56:00] place and chase them around which you should because it's the most fun that I've had in FPV for a long long time you should do it with analog if you're going to try to start a YouTube
[00:56:12] channel and have fancy stuff to put up and the quality of the footage starts to matter I think it's WalkSnail if you want to jump aboard the hype train and ignore all the things
[00:56:27] that I'm telling you 04 light but always keep in mind that FPV is such a perfect example of image quality not always being the end all Beall how good you are as a pilot or a
[00:56:46] photographer or a videographer is top of the Heap an amazing pilot with analog will make footage that is way more watchable than a shitty pilot with 5K and all the bells and whistles you
[00:57:03] know what I'm saying so always keep that in mind and as a pilot if you've got a lighter weight rig or a more dialed in rig that is going to make your flight footage
[00:57:13] better especially if you're chasing a subject that moves around a lot this here is a comparison of the 04 air unit light versus WalkSnail walks snail Nano V3 which is a slightly different
[00:57:29] camera I wish that he tested it with the the WalkSnail light setup because this WalkSnail Nano camera is significantly heavier and the advantage of WalkSnail is the light setup with
[00:57:42] the ultr light camera at six G all up so kind of annoying that he didn't test that I don't know this is a Vista with a nebula Nano which is a an interesting test because this is super heavy so this
[00:57:55] is a super heavy setup down here that's like kind of old right old school Vista stuff so I don't necessarily understand why this is in the test but I guess I he had it laying around and you
[00:58:07] know I'm sure and so what I notice here is that the the the field of view okay so let let me give you guys a bit of a disclaimer on field of view there is in in the professional
[00:58:23] Camera World there is standard ization and there is a correct way of measuring field of view so if you buy any half decent quality camera and they tell you what the field of view is and
[00:58:39] then so let's say you buy a half decent camera Canon camera and then you you're comparing that to a half decent Fuji camera if they tell you what the field of view is on each one of those
[00:58:52] it's correct and you can compare those two cameras from the spec sheet on on the field of view when it comes to FPV as with many things there is little to no
[00:59:08] standardization so if you look at a DJI camera field of view and then you look at a WalkSnail camera field of view and then you look at a run cam camera field of view it doesn't matter none of
[00:59:19] these guys are using any standardized testing of field of view and so when this j4 air unit says 117° of field of view and then let's actually look up what the WalkSnail says for their
[00:59:33] field of view it doesn't matter and this is this is a perfect example of that so if you look at like the the the WalkSnail camera has is rotated to the right a little bit
[00:59:49] so like look at this building here look at where this building is in the frame here and then here's that same building in this Frame but this WalkSnail camera is pivoted to the right a little bit
[00:59:59] because look this big bush and then you're catching a little bit of this secondary Bush on the 04 you're just looking at this big bush so the the WalkSnail camera is pointed to the
[01:00:11] right a little bit which explains why this building is farther to the left in the frame than this but look this on the o4 there's a bunch more field of view to the left of this building on the walks
[01:00:26] snail there's a bunch more field of view to the right of this big bush it does not look like there's much of a difference in field of view between these two and that's a good thing
[01:00:39] because 117 field of view is really narrow like to the point where that would kind of be hard to fly I don't think it's actually 117 field of view it looks to be roughly the same field of
[01:00:53] view as WalkSnail so let's just take a look WalkSnail Nano fov let's see what they say for their fov I want to say that they they they claim it to be like normal like 160
[01:01:09] um 15560 I wish I hadn't closed that window but maybe he was testing this camera but regardless all of the WalkSnail stuff has roughly the see look 160 field of view so either
[01:01:26] I it's impossible to really know who's who's lying they're not lying they're just measuring field of view in different ways one of the one of the the easiest ways to screw up field of
[01:01:41] view is that what and when you see just one number for field of view you immediately know that something is a Miss there's horizontal field there should always be three numbers there
[01:01:55] should be hor horizontal field of view there should be vertical field of view and then there should be diagonal field of view and there should kind of actually be six numbers because they
[01:02:04] should be giving you field of view for 4x3 and also by for 16 by9 and so that's a perfect example of why it's just absolutely all over the place but now that and
[01:02:18] and thankfully Chris did that did this actual side by side so that we can see that this smaller field of view on the 04 light is actually not much different than anybody else really right
[01:02:34] like if if it was I mean if when you look at this Frame actually like you look where that Smoke Stack is right the Smoke Stack is basically in the same spot for all three of these we know that
[01:02:46] the Vista field of view is pretty wide so Smoke Stack on the right side of the frame is basically in the same place with all three of these and then if you if you look at the left side of the
[01:02:56] frame you can kind of see this little angle on the building it's roughly in the same spot on all three of these so I don't think that even though they're I don't know why they're specking out such
[01:03:10] a small field of view to be completely honest I I get the feeling that they're measuring it in some kind of a weird way but I would I wish that their field of view was 155 it's if they're saying
[01:03:26] that the field of view is 117 at the same time that they're releasing the 04 Pro air unit that says that the field of view was 155 I'm sure that the lightweight one has less field of view than 155
[01:03:40] which I I don't love but it looks like the other options are roughly the same field of view so it's not that big of a deal right when I get mine I will absolutely put it on the
[01:03:54] bench here and point it at the toolbox like we do with all of these cameras to take a quick look at the field of view and I'll do the same thing with WalkSnail and we'll take a bit of a closer
[01:04:05] look but the fov is one of the things that kind of creeps me out the most about it but I don't think it's that big of a deal Chris did an amazing section here on fov comparing like the
[01:04:20] wide versus the normal all that good stuff he then tests latency the race mode 100 frame per second latency is really low super impressive how low that they got that none of us are really
[01:04:33] racers in here but if you put an action camera on top of your rig that has 04 in it you can run race mode and get nice low latency that's pretty cool I dig that I think that's going to be the
[01:04:48] least used feature though because if you're putting 04 into a build you're putting it in there to use the HD specifically building a rig with 04 to then also carry an action camera is
[01:05:04] pretty silly I I just I I don't get why you would do that at some point the action cameras will get better maybe the the GoPro Hero 14 actually has a bigger sensor for a change and then but
[01:05:22] like the video quality coming out of the 04 is really good it's really really really really good so the days of needing to carry an action camera are long gone
[01:05:37] unless there's a pretty specific kind of scenario the latency of it in the 4K and whatnot is a little bit higher than 03 to be expected it's a little bit better quality but with
[01:05:53] digital I mean it's pretty kind of part for the course Chris did a fantastic massive chart here with the latencies of like all the things and it's not look it's comparable to'
[01:06:08] 03 which is wild much better low light performance than 03 comparable latency better range than 03 there's other than cost there's really no and cost as in like
[01:06:26] you you're going to be able to buy 03s used because everybody's going to be ditching them to get 04 there's not a lot of reason to go 03 at this point there was one more thing that I
[01:06:40] kind of wanted to hit on from Chris's video the output power is of course awesome look like the the range on 04 is is outrageous he calls out that it's not
[01:06:54] really suitable for 1S without a step up maybe that was it maybe that was it again I'm going to drop the link one more time in the chat go watch Chris's video he did an amazing job like I
[01:07:06] said earlier I also did watch I watched a whole bunch of stuff on it over the last two days potato Jets video has a fantastic comparison of' 04 versus the best of the action cameras which is the
[01:07:21] DJI action 5 and it is really close to being as good not quite if you're super sensitive especially to like low light performance the DJI action 5 is a little bit better you
[01:07:39] could argue that it has just a tiny little bit more detail but dragging around 120 plus grams of action camera kills your flight performance your flight times and those two things
[01:07:55] things for the way that we use FPV are more important than the tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny increase in quality that you get dragging around that 120 g camera if the action camera if the next
[01:08:12] generation of action cameras gets significantly better maybe there's a reason to carry them around again but boy oh boy is it going to be nice to drop that weight and have something that flies
[01:08:27] better for longer also that's more durable right I I I didn't even think about that until just this second dragging around that action cam and then smashing into
[01:08:39] things you've got to have a few of those action cams you're going to break them having your camera and VTX completely enclosed in carbon fiber you've now got something that like on set you can slam
[01:08:54] and it's probably not going to blow up you should still have multiple rigs right but that's pretty pretty great from a durability standpoint I got to get caught up on oh my God
[01:09:10] somebody did a $50 Super Chat who did that I'm so s I'm so sorry that I missed it supercell dude I haven't seen you in a while thank you so much man $49.99 Super Chat he says keep it up bro I will
[01:09:25] man thank you so much brother very very cool I'm not going to read out names in chat I'm just going to hit the folks that have tagged me so far so far to get caught up on chat Cole power says
[01:09:37] Teddy could use a good tailbone massage Teddy Teddy got to see his first snow today hey took one step down he looked at it and sniffed it and went nope and he came back inside and then
[01:09:48] Maggie it's on my Instagram and stories and then Maggie were like Maggie and I were like come on no you got to go pee go go out and go pee buddy and he got down and he down the stairs
[01:09:57] and he warmed up to it I didn't mean for that to be a pun but he warmed up to the snow pretty quick and ran around the yard went up into a street house and came back inside
[01:10:08] so Teddy spaghetti knows what snow is now weeed FPV is in house he says gangly gang good evening CiottiFPV happy Friday indeed it is Morton upshot says forgive me I need to jump ship to
[01:10:20] watch my Buckeyes play the Foosball in a few minutes I'm sure Morton's already gone glad he made it for a little bit Billa says my man what's up I can't wait to fly my 04 with the van style 04
[01:10:32] cam plates very cool yeah most frames oh that's something I wanted to talk about the uh the quad Mulla it appears that quad Mula has different TPU printable plates to mount the 04 so
[01:10:51] it looks like th those frames are ready to go look the the 04 camera to H to house the bigger sensor is much larger and so most frames will not work with the 04 setup right now I'm sure all
[01:11:09] the frame designers are have been scrambling and continue to scramble to figure out how to make the damn thing fit in their frames I'm sure some of them will force you to buy a whole new
[01:11:19] frame which is kind of insane but capitalism the AOS frames from Chris Rosser you can just print a different TPU insert that works with the camera cage so it looks like all of the current
[01:11:37] generation I think they're like on V5 if I'm not mistaken AOS frames it's an easy fit's an easy fix to get them to get the new setup in there there was one more I forget what it
[01:11:52] was though oh the VY style it sounds like there's there's going to be new cam plates in chat help me out type the frames into the into chat that are currently adaptable to use the 04
[01:12:08] because it's also a totally different bolt pattern on the camera which is kind of obnoxious but when I really thought about that I bet you that's because of the bigger sensor it
[01:12:19] on it's very easy to go oh DJI changed that to screw us all over why would they do that DJI doesn't sell frames there's no reason for them to change the bolt pattern so that we have to buy new
[01:12:33] frames they're not in bed with any of these frame manufacturers there's no reason for them to change the bolt pattern it probably makes their lives harder I bet you when the sensor got
[01:12:42] bigger the the threading for the current bolt holes was interfering with the bigger sensor and so I bet you they had to move the the mount holes up to get them out of the way of the Sens it's a p
[01:12:55] a betch it's a packaging problem but it's annoying for us because most frames are not going to work with it but in the chat type whatever frames that you've seen people get the 04 into so
[01:13:10] that we have a little bit of a better list as to today what frames you can buy with an 04 and have it you're probably going to have to print something but there you go help
[01:13:22] me out Chad LOL The KES says do you think the micro will be a good replacement 04 light antenna for sure the the micro V is a phenomenal Ultra lightweight antenna and the the 04
[01:13:41] light comes with a shitty little whip antenna which I mean it actually the whip antennas work totally fine but the micro V is going to work better than the whip antennas because it has a proper
[01:13:53] 120 degree kind of setup versus the the ground plane setup that the whip antennas have so micro will be a great little replacement antenna I have like 40 microv vs waiting for me at
[01:14:09] the post office I just got to go pick them up so and those are slightly customized micro they're a little bit shorter they're I think they're 46 millim and they've got a little bit of
[01:14:19] extra shrink wrap on the head of the antenna to make it a little bit more durable so those will be a ailable over on my Etsy store which is linked on C fv.com probably like Monday or Tuesday
[01:14:30] next week Willie Summit says have you ever heard of the JM MCE RIT F4 AO I have not uh I'm just barely curious enough to type it into Google oh okay so jhe MCU I've had mixed
[01:14:58] results with jhe MCU I typically don't talk much about stuff that I haven't personally like smashed a bunch to see if it holds up or not so there's not a whole lot that I can
[01:15:12] really say about this but I've had one or two things from jhe MCU that kind of held up half decent looks it's 1S and 2S that's kind of nice uh 12 amp fets that's kind of
[01:15:29] cool does it have a receiver built in doesn't look like it has a receiver built in cuz there's no doesn't look like it has a VTX built in either what's the point of this AIO
[01:15:46] you're going to have to run an external VTX and an external receiver that's pretty silly I don't really understand I don't understand this style of AO in general if you're going to build an AIO that
[01:16:04] doesn't have a receiver or a VTX it should be 2S to 4S on a 1S rig it's completely insane to put a an external VTX and an external receiver 1S rigs need to be ultra lightweight you've now
[01:16:19] made it not ultra light rate lightweight so an AIO like this that doesn't have either one of those things it's only you're only really going to use it on like a heavier rig so it needs
[01:16:32] to go up 3s or 4S so don't buy this there are there are plenty of aios that have either a receiver on board or a VTX on board or both that are going to be a better choice than this so I I
[01:16:47] would not recommend you buy that it's just just from like a from a features standpoint that just kind of fails you're going to end up building a rig that's heavier than it needs to be
[01:16:58] for 1S or 2S don't do it render says I did that with my 45 amp AIO and it took me 45 minutes to get the solder off the pins of the processor and it fried my eer receiver in
[01:17:12] reference to a flicking solder and having it ruin an AO I was yeah I was not being careful enough on the stream the other day I was in a hurry and you can't be in a hurry with these AIO
[01:17:25] dronen says I think that's exactly what happened when you cleared the solder I swore I see it saw it fly towards the AIO but I wasn't near my phone to message
[01:17:36] I when when you flick a solder ball what when when you clear solder off of something and you and you flick it off rather than using solder Wick the way that you should you need to find that
[01:17:50] solder blob I did find a solder blob but sometimes when you do that it'll flick a couple and I I just I was in a hurry it was the end of the stream I was like what are the chances
[01:18:07] and apparently the chances were pretty good chonan says tiny whoop has the version 2.2 of that BetaFPV 12 amp board in stock you can always solder to that the 2.2 version of the
[01:18:22] board has the OSD chip on it and it's a lot older so I'm going to really try to find the version three to get this thing back but that's good that they have that version 2.2 if I have to I can
[01:18:33] snag one of those Billa says BetaFPV just came out with the Matrix 3 in one for the new 04 they say they're also coming out with a matrix 4 and one of the OSG chip for the pro 32 Nano
[01:18:43] can't wait The Matrix 3 in one is 1S only though and I really do not recommend that you build a 1S 04 air unit set up oh come on Canon hold
[01:19:02] on the new version of EOS webcam utility is horrible and there are tons of people struggling as I am although lately it's only been happening like once per live stream
[01:19:18] which is not that bad but I don't know it's Canon they are one of the if not the biggest camera manufacturer in the world and they force you to run their stupid ass software when you use their
[01:19:31] cameras for live streaming and so it's pretty shameful that they're not that they don't have software that functions better than this so don't blame me blame Canon they do make great
[01:19:45] C cameras though I've been using their dslrs for almost 20 years now oh wow more than 20 years now cuz I started running a film digital SL a Canon film digital SLR back in college when I
[01:19:58] started to get into photography Willie Summit says have you heard of the so we just talked about that he's asking again render says that sounds like a bad battery that's
[01:20:08] crazy nope it's just cold tiny little meh batteries in the colds are a nightmare every day with Bruno says I couldn't get a signal at all today I don't know if that if it was the cold or
[01:20:19] what cold shouldn't have to do with it but snow is made of water and water blocks RF really really well so flying in the snow you're going to get but I mean that's only when you
[01:20:35] put that water between your ant your gogg the antennas on your goggles and the quad right so if you're just flying in open air with little snowflakes it shouldn't have anything to do with it
[01:20:46] but if you fly behind a tree that's got a bunch of snow in it right that's going to be bad just like after it rains and the leaves in the tree AB in trees absorb a bunch of water if you fly
[01:21:00] behind if it's been dry and you fly behind a tree in your yard you'll get noticeably better signal strength than after it's rained it's kind of cool maybe not just one tree oh God here we
[01:21:14] go YouTube might bomb that's usually a sign that YouTube's about to bomb as well maybe not just one tree but like a couple trees if you go like a couple trees deep and it's rain
[01:21:25] the signal strength goes to Absolute hell versus if it's been dry for a while kind of cool mikale says can't wait to see the low light performance in person me too me too the the bigger sensor in
[01:21:40] the 04 is where they're getting a lot of the the better low light performance one of the big reasons that I didn't do the 03 setup is the low light performance was way worse than the vistas and for
[01:21:56] an FPV camera to not have good low light performance I I don't love that so I'm very glad that I skipped 03 almost entirely because this 04 system is if if the 04 system is a killer of
[01:22:14] anything it's an 03 killer it's not a WalkSnail killer WalkSnail still has the lightweight Advantage and they've got like different options right 04 is just like these two things and that's it walks
[01:22:30] snail has a lot of different options and it's also lighter weight Moss one says are the VCI 0702 Motors any good for 65 they're all out of BetaFPV 0702 the VCI Motors are very similar
[01:22:45] to the BetaFPV Motors I don't like the BetaFPV Motors I also it's not that I don't like them it's just that I like the HappyModel Motors a lot better so I don't have any of the VCI Motors anymore
[01:22:57] I also don't have any BetaFPV Motors other than the ones that have been on the A on the BNF's that they've sent me so I don't necessarily recommend the VCI or the BetaFPV Motors
[01:23:08] I think the HappyModel Motors are better there's more options you can get 1 and a half millimeter motor shafts but if you were going to buy BetaFPV Motors the vcii motors will will slot
[01:23:20] right in and be pretty much exactly the same has been my experience with them Mor opot says if the woman likes fires deal with fires of course keep Maggie happy and you'll be happy yep
[01:23:30] happy wife happy life not that we're married but Ray FPV says man hope you're doing well I am indeed tonian says make sure your chimney is clean just had a house fire near me from
[01:23:40] a chimney fire yeah we had a Chimney Sweep come out last year and inspect everything and he was happy with it and we're the chimney is capped and we also we have to the column
[01:23:55] our chimney is tall enough where the column of cold air in there is too much for us to just light a fire trick that my dad showed me the house that I grew up in had a fireplace in the
[01:24:10] basement and it was kind of the same deal the chimney was tall enough where and it's funny I didn't I didn't remember my dad doing this until he told me that I needed to do it over the
[01:24:20] Christmas break I was like Dad I tried to light a fire in our fire we got to have a chimney Guy come out again this year because we tried to light a fire even with the flu open and
[01:24:29] all the smoke came into the house and hey told me don't you remember I used to have to twist up a piece of piece of newspaper light it on fire and hold it up into the chimney to
[01:24:41] displace that big tall column of cold air and I was like I do remember you doing that and sure enough once we did that it was it was fine we didn't have we we canceled the the chimney
[01:24:53] people and so in doing in doing that you catch if there's a clog right like if you if you I guess it's probably a good safety thing for everybody with a fireplace right even if you don't even
[01:25:06] if you have a shorter chimney a really great way to make sure you don't light your house on fire is to just twist up a piece of newspaper light it on fire and you hold it like up up there
[01:25:17] and if the smoke comes back into the house it's clogged don't light logs on fire at that point right so maybe that's a good safety thing but we have to do it here for this chimney to
[01:25:28] displace that cic cold air chonan says thoughts on BetaFPV deciding to put a stepup regulator on a 12 amp 3 in1 intended for 04 instead of supporting 2S unbelievable yeah
[01:25:43] I I don't love it but they're they're all aboard the hype here's what I'll say instead of being mean and saying they're all aboard the hype train that aiio is significantly shrunken down right they
[01:25:57] they they're making that aiio as lightweight as they possibly can and that's probably why it's only 1S and so great we've got an option for 1S it's kind of silly to do a 1S build with
[01:26:12] a 10 G payload but it's something that exists we've got aios that are 2S capable that are set up for HD so that's fine it's as mad as I want to get about it's something that wouldn't exist
[01:26:36] otherwise I think YouTube's about to the bed I can't even scroll in chat at this point oh NOP there it goes thrash FV says do you recommend buying the 04 for future use when it's
[01:26:49] not when it's not for months and months what cinematic work I'm worried oh oh oh oh oh oh oh thrash is worried about them going out of stock forever the specs on the 04 are so
[01:27:09] good I had no real plans of buying them either one of them and I bought both of them yeah you should get at least one of each I think they're just it's really good and they've had
[01:27:29] them in the avat too they've had the same kind of thing in the avat 2 and the Neo and that's been out in the world for a while so in theory it'll be there won't be any with it
[01:27:40] and I bought them and I wasn't planning on it come on YouTube let me scroll in the chat let me do my job that you oh my God I'm going to try my best here thank you for being useless
[01:28:08] YouTube and the bed finally good God man oh I just lost a ton of chat messages I'm sorry guys there's not I this is why I don't usually frontload the chat with the topic of the live
[01:28:31] stream this is this is why I usually get caught up on the Q&A as early as I possibly can because YouTube is just incredibly unstable I'm super sorry I just lost a ton of your guys messages
[01:28:47] if it's not something that I've already talked about feel free to tag me again but this is 100% YouTube's fault they they have significantly I don't know what they're doing
[01:29:01] they're their streaming used to be relatively stable and in the last 6 months it's become anything but stable and it's really really bad at this point I'm sure they're doing it
[01:29:15] to make more money because capitalism Louie said so the oldest message that I have access to now is from 8:14 which is Louie he says so I think the main reason DJI even considered having a
[01:29:27] light VTX is due to the increasing regulation on 250 grams that's true I I just assumed that it was like well we have it from the Neo we might as well get a couple of dollars from these FPV
[01:29:38] idiots they saw the way to the market was headed and realized they were behind agree I would say that maybe that has something to do with it but in my opinion they built these two systems
[01:29:52] into the Avada 2 and the Neo and they know that they can make a couple dollars from FPV people I think it's less making money from us and more getting marketing material from us right and so it's a
[01:30:08] win-win right they all they have to do is put a little case around the outside of it although the the 04 Pro case looks pretty identical to what's in the front of the IAT 2 so maybe they didn't even
[01:30:21] need to make they they certainly needed to make case for to go around the VTX but what could that have possibly cost them I really do think it was at this point for them they're
[01:30:35] building drones and making tons of money off of drones and then it's like how can we get some pretty much free marketing pull the video system out of the Drone put a case around it and a not
[01:30:48] very many FPV people compared to the number of people buying our drones in Best Buy will snag it and make unbelievable marking material for us that will then sell us more of vatos and
[01:30:59] NEOS right that that's my opinion I could be totally wrong what what you're saying makes total sense Louie but I think it was like they built this for the Neo and they were just like
[01:31:12] hey let's do the same thing that we did with the avadas for years and years strier says just got an h11 mini might still go to 04 and use it as a handy cam I could go for like
[01:31:26] 1800 MH 6s in the future 5in build then I don't even know H what's an h11 mini I don't even know what that is oh hero 11 hero 11 hero 11 gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha raise FPV says tank 2
[01:31:43] and tank 2S that's right yep yep yep good call the one of the other videos I watched is Bubbies which was he's like yes the roads were empty I I guess he did this in the middle of the night
[01:31:56] but it awful sketchy he was like blasting an open propped rig around like some downtown area it felt a little sketchy yes it was only a 3 and 1 half in rig but the tank is an awful heavy 3
[01:32:08] and 1 half inch rig so it was almost certainly like 300 plus grams I love to see that he was doing it when there were there was only like one or two other cars on the road but felt a
[01:32:21] little sketchy to be flying an open prop rig but Young Folks YOLO it'll be fine beud Skipper says length width height camera module 25 I'm not sure what that's in reference
[01:32:40] to be mud skipper Scotty Scott says fly hiive PV is designing prints for the armit 10 Marmont nuvia plus others interesting I'm not an Arman fan but good to have options B mud skipper says
[01:32:53] ah here we go that is the dimensions of the 04 Pro Camera non- naked and it's still the same 20 mm width and most people are mounting the cam with a single screw for now oh boy but the
[01:33:05] angle is flat the 04 Pro Camera is a big boy the light camera doesn't seem it's that all that big especially when you take the little case off it it'll be interesting to see how folks Mount the
[01:33:20] the little tiny lightweight camera yeah there we go there's where the camera froze hopefully the camera wasn't Frozen for too long Martin tanley says any input on Goku f45 2S for
[01:33:32] the 04 I think that's the AIO that's unbelievably expensive I have zero experience with it so I I I can't really I can't really speak to it strer says 12 amp fets F BetaFPV I
[01:33:50] thought they were finally getting some newer 2S aiio they don't need to they already have two saio so let me see hold on someone told me that the version 3 12 amp beta
[01:34:05] FPV is out of stock everywhere 12 amp V3 but I I I didn't have a chance to dive in and really see which is kind of my bad on that one uh okay damn
[01:34:31] it all right so this is this is the one so this will be a better search term so it looks like get FPV is out which sucks which is not a good sign looks like bit I'm not showing my
[01:34:45] screen sorry guys so get FPV is at of stock it looks like BetaFPV is at a stock out a stock which is also not a great sign let's see where else oh my God that's right I remember not many people sell
[01:34:59] this aiio somebody earlier on said that tiny whoop has the version 2.2 which is okay the version 2.2 has the big old OSD chip on it which is a total waste for HD HD
[01:35:15] builds it is kind of nice because if at some point you want to go analog with it you've got it so I mean that's good Weeble does doesn't usually come up all that well in Google search
[01:35:29] results I don't think that they have it though let's see if AliExpress has it oh boy why is it well R day quads hey they've got it is that the one 12 amp oh no this is the old one
[01:36:05] this is the version 2.2 which is okay it's if if we have to use this one we will version three is better but until it comes out of stock comes back in stock this is
[01:36:18] this will absolutely work little bit of wasted space having this OSD chip on here but it's still 12 amp it's well all right so it says that it's 1 amp but see look it also says that it's
[01:36:35] 1 to two amp one to 2S rather not amp sorry I don't understand it on a bunch of different websites these BetaFPV F4 12amp aios they will say that they're 1S but then they will also say
[01:36:52] that they're 2S welcome to FPV nothing ever makes sense ever I have run the version three of this on 2S quite a bit and it was completely fine so I will assume that
[01:37:10] this version 2.2 2022 version is also to us it says it right here it also says it right here I don't understand how everyone is so incompetent in the FPV world it even has silk screened on
[01:37:31] the board that it's one to 2S so I don't know man it's just it's beyond belief how halfast everything is in FPV still so Martin tanley says newer White Version what what's that in
[01:37:54] reference to brother Ben Hawkins with a 9.99 Super Chat thank you so much dude he says I'd like to set up a DJI o4 on a 2S 2in carbon fiber frame with 14,000 KV 123 Motors I think it will be a good
[01:38:10] Ripper have any canopy suggestions zero canopy suggestions just cuz it came out yesterday I don't know much about 2 in other than that you're GNA have a lot of duct in view which drives me mad 14,000 KV
[01:38:30] is probably about right 1203 motor might be a little big it might be just right it's going to depend on what like the propellers weigh last time I checked most of the 2in propellers are
[01:38:48] pretty heavy that's one of the major advantages to staying 1.6 in staying 75mm motor to motor is that we have really good propeller options that is one of the so that that's going to
[01:39:05] be a major weak point one of the many major weak points of 2 in I don't know it's I don't really know anybody that's like super optimized take a look at sub 250 FPV
[01:39:26] on Instagram it's not the company it's a guy sub 250 all right so it's sub 250g FPV on Instagram check him out he has done the most experimenting with different 2in setups in terms of all
[01:39:54] up weight frames different Motors different propellers and that's what you want to do check his stuff out that's going to give you the best chance at figuring out if
[01:40:08] that thing is is is going to fly good or not I haven't done hardly any any 2in flying that I did was like five six seven years ago and everything has changed since then so check sub
[01:40:24] 250g out he's got he breaks down all of his setups and then he's got loads of flight footage and you can hopefully find something that's relatively similar or maybe even better where you like
[01:40:37] the flight performance and Away you shall go thank you for the Super Chat brother I wish I had more personal knowledge to drop on you but I I just the two-inch thing I I
[01:40:47] haven't really had a reason to go up to 2in builds the the 1.6 in stuff is plenty it is I'm assuming that a fire just got lit upstairs because it just got really cold boy is it noticeable
[01:41:06] how much colder the rest of the house gets when when you let a fire in a fireplace holy cow it really does pull the cold air in from every single door and window in the rest of the house
[01:41:19] JMP FPV says any new batteries you recommend for the tx16s not really no I don't know anything about the tx16s I don't know what batteries it takes but usually with transmitters they'll be there'll
[01:41:34] only be like one or two batteries that fit in it and so just get each of them and you can figure out which one of those two that you like and then eventually they'll die and you just get
[01:41:44] another one of the the other ones but I I don't know anything about the tx1 16x like literally nothing Aly cat says thanks for being so awesome thank you you for hanging out supporting me meton says it
[01:41:57] really sucks you don't have a py drone affiliate link nobody does I buy from them almost exclusively now because West Coast yeah pyro Jone killed their affiliate program so nobody has an
[01:42:08] affiliate link their affiliate program now is and I do have like a link to their current affiliate program it's basically like if you don't have if you've not set up an account on pyro
[01:42:23] drone and you click my pyrro drone affiliate link it drives to a spot where if you set up an account I get like a couple of pyro drone points that I can spend on their store next time I do an
[01:42:37] order from there which is super helpful I mean that's as good as money because I do order there every once in a while but pyro drone does not have a traditional affiliate program Serge
[01:42:49] doesn't believe in it basically he tried and then I guess he lost enough money from the affiliate links and just decided that it's not worth the marketing isn't worth it which is
[01:43:03] interesting because absolutely everyone else agrees that it is worth it other than tiny whoop but tiny whoop does it for different reasons tiny whoop doesn't have an affiliate program
[01:43:15] because they don't want people Shilling their products just to get people to click the affiliate link they want people to talk about their products organically and maybe that's also
[01:43:30] Serge's approach but I don't think so from conversations that I've had with people thash fbb says probably server load from all the dumb streams in YouTube shorts meton says remember you might
[01:43:48] give armian another look now that they're under ownership it has nothing to do with that it has to do with the frame designs it's mainly because they don't really have many removable arm
[01:44:04] frame designs the the armaan frame designs are just too old they are frame designs from four five six seven years ago and Frames have gotten significantly better so until they
[01:44:19] frame design has gotten significantly better so until they update their frame designs I I I just I have no interest most of their frames are solid base plate which is just a nightmare in so
[01:44:31] many different ways I love that they're Under New Management because their old management was pretty close-minded but they're still selling these old ass frame designs and I and they're just not as
[01:44:46] good the frames that have come out in the last year or two are just way better and that's not a DI dig on Arman that's everyone else getting better right it's a good thing that that
[01:44:58] there are a lot of newer better frames so if if they get with the times and start coming out with some frames that are better designed using removable arms not using quasi
[01:45:11] isotropic carbon then but not they don't have that right now they're their designs are just old and not as good th chonan says I'm using one on 2S it's fine in reference to the
[01:45:26] version 2.2 awesome Chon also says have you ever met have you ever met a marketing person I've worked very closely with marketing teams I also worked for a search engine optimization
[01:45:40] company for a couple of years which is literally a marketing company so yes I've met many marketing people James Thomas says will that beta BetaFPV AO take motor plug what I
[01:45:58] blew it off since no plugs but I swear I just saw holes what tag me again and ask that question in a different way I I the way way that that question
[01:46:24] reads is saying that BetaFPV AIO you can't use oh I'm sorry you said motor plug not I was reading that as battery lead I was reading that as that you thought the aiio wouldn't you couldn't hook up a
[01:46:46] battery to it I was like how the f motor plugs the version three certainly does cuz I have them on mine I would assume that the version 2.2 does as well what BetaFPV does is
[01:47:01] they don't put the motor plugs on there from the factory you have to solder them on so it kind of looks like it doesn't have motor plugs but they come in the Box the the easy way to tell is
[01:47:16] they draw a little silk screen box around they also like inset the so it's usually pretty obvious and so whenever you see whenever you see this layout here
[01:47:33] where they've put holes in board like this this is a dead giveaway that this is set up for a motor plug that they've included in the package and you get the the The
[01:47:44] Unbelievable honor of soldering them on yourself and so here's the the rectangle they silk screen a rectangle on there so that you don't put the plug on there backwards although it doesn't really
[01:47:55] matter but it so you get the The Unbelievable Delight of soldering down it's not that bad Omni fixo helps a ton though JM pfpv says thanks man I'll do more research dronen says that
[01:48:18] means that that means that order I placed with your link wasn't an affiliate it's okay use Christmas gift cards to get some stuff it's all good it's all good you guys support me
[01:48:28] in many other ways Captain Calgary says do less nesman work werp I have no idea what that is is that a person a place or a thing I'm typing it into Google it's a fictional

[01:49:13] about your mobula 7 analog 75mm build you said you're running tiny whoop hex 802 19,000 KV with G fan 1610s it looks like those Motors are only rated for 1 s voltage when a motor manufacturer
[01:49:28] rates a motor for a voltage it's total nonsense it is giving you a rough idea of what voltage you should run on that motor but you can quadruple the voltage and then just run a motor limit
[01:49:46] and you're totally fine so when a motor is rated for a certain voltage that's just pretty much nonsense and in this case it's total nonsense there there is no the there is no rating
[01:50:00] that has anything to do with 1S 2S 3s 4s 5s 6S for a motor they should rate the motor for like an RPM window but that would require them to do anything it would also make it more
[01:50:16] confusing for new new people so I I kind of understand why they do it but no they're is being raided for one voltage or another means nothing thr FV says for concert venues or flying above
[01:50:29] around people would 3s or 2S 044 light build be better from a safety standpoint 2S would be better because you can build it to be lighter weight from a runtime
[01:50:48] perspective 3s would be better that's the only way that I can really answer that question so James Thomas says gotcha thanks you're certainly welcome Frank Nicholas says less Newman of WKRP and Cincinnati
[01:51:01] sitcom yeah I've heard of it but I I don't think I've ever actually watched it yeah I have band I almost always have Band-Aids on my thumbs because I have generalized anxiety disorder and
[01:51:15] I pick at my fingers like an actual crazy person but we're all crazy in our own ways so by putting Band-Aids on it prevents me from picking it my fingers so cronuts FPV says what are
[01:51:28] your thoughts on BetaFPV Matrix 5 in1 AOG G4 it's great the rig that I flew in the snow today has it and I've I've plugged and unplugged the UFL I think 10 times now and it has not
[01:51:43] ripped off the board which was the main problem with the BetaFPV air aios and so they' fixed the main problem it is as heavy as the HappyModel 2g4 and so I kind of hesitate to
[01:51:58] recommend it over the 2g4 because the 2g4 is a known quantity it is a fantastic AO that is like absolutely ridiculously durable so I don't know why you would buy The Matrix AIO over the 2g4
[01:52:18] other than you're doing an order on a website that doesn't have the 2g4 four in stock and it does have the Matrix in stock your rolling the dice though like the Matrix has not been around for
[01:52:28] long enough for us to know that it's like hysterically durable and the the HappyModel has so for me I'll stick to the 2 G4S but I mean if you're doing an order on a site that has the
[01:52:41] Matrix save on shipping and snag one because it's seems it's good but you're you're rolling the dice a little bit makes sense Craig Meer says regarding motor limits where does one
[01:52:50] set that in BetaFlight yes in the pids tab there's a or in your you can just go in do the stick commands to get into the OSD uh but in BetaFlight it's in the pids tab it's
[01:53:02] called motor limiting it's one of the more powerful features in BetaFlight that nobody takes advantage of which drives me insane because building a rig and putting
[01:53:14] motors that are slightly too high of a KV on it and then motor liming it down allows you to turn up the power of that rig whenever you want and that's awesome so do it get Motors that
[01:53:32] are a little too high of a KV and then motor limit them down to like 80% 85% 90% and you will have the ability to go stick command more power more power more power more power page up for more page up for
[01:53:49] power as Dino tuners say in the Motorsport World Scotty says I bought two BetaFPV F4 V1 2 to3s 20 amp 55 bucks each we'll let how they work thank you dude I'm assuming
[01:54:03] that they don't have receivers on board which is kind of annoying Denzel turble says don't talk about anything interesting for a few minutes got to go make myself a tea anyone El want one
[01:54:12] it is the end of the live stream so we're pretty much done talking about anything that's interesting I think we covered everything maybe I'll fly a battery or two jmpf says what radio
[01:54:23] are you using and why I use old ass FR Sky qx7s mainly because I have very long fingers and they fit my hands the best also because not a single feature in a transmitter that's worth anything has
[01:54:42] been introduced since the qx7 came out I guess you could kind of sort of argue that the new transmitters that have elrs build buil in that's a thing but like if you wait a couple of
[01:54:56] months something about the buil-in elrs will change and then it'll be worthless and you'll have to do a module anyway a transmitter that fits your hands is way more important than any kind of
[01:55:11] nonsense color screen or or row of buttons here or any other just silly thing that they've introduced since this and so qx7 for Life I guess it would be kind of cool to
[01:55:29] have the lrs built in but like the the uh Gemini The Nomad stuff is a perfect example right like all of these jumper and all of these radio Master transmitters that have regular old elrs
[01:55:42] built in if if you want to go to Nomad Gemini you got to run a goddamn module anyway and so eventually there'll be another new version of it right there I think there
[01:55:56] is one maybe two transmitters now that are available that have Gemini Nomad built in a year from now they'll make another change to it and you'll have to put a module in those so the whole like
[01:56:10] buying a transmitter I don't know the whole like buying a new transmitter thing I don't know this fits my hands I have not used any other transmitter that fits my hands better and you know
[01:56:26] being able to fly as good as possible for me personally is the number one thing I've got a module on this that uses the absolute newest Tech good to go also the qx7s are outrageously
[01:56:44] inexpensive you can get them used for like 40 50 bucks and then you can spend that money on things that make more of an impact on you're flying or your your setup of gear right have
[01:56:56] enough money to build a backup rig stuff is more important in my opinion than a transmitter with a color screen on it what in the world is the color screen going to do for you if they were putting
[01:57:14] vtx's in the transmitters that could then use the color screen as like a little portable monitor I'd be all for it and the fact that they haven't done that yet makes me very
[01:57:27] upset get your together radio Master himo says Matrix versus 2g4 in terms of durability we just talked about that 2g4 is a known quantity it is the most durable AO by a long margin maybe
[01:57:47] the Matrix is just as durable but there's no way to know we haven't run it for a full year so also I have a motor that its shaft is dead straight Not Bent but the stator wobbles like
[01:57:59] crazy out of the box anything to get it working or get new nope get a new one there's not yeah there's really nothing you can do but how does The Stater wobble I think you're getting your terms mixed up
[01:58:13] the Stater doesn't move the stator is the bottom part that's solid I think you're confusing Stater with bell I'm assuming that the Bell is wobbling and the shaft is straight and there's
[01:58:25] nothing you can do about that that's yeah get you a new one Scotty Scott says yes it does have serial Els 9volt Beck and 5volt Beck I'm not totally sure what we're
[01:58:40] talking about here oh oh oh the the 20 amp AIO it has oh my God it has elrs on board well that's pretty cool definitely let us know how it is Craig Meer says the YouTube Auto
[01:58:55] transcript after the live is done the transcription is incredibly useful for getting information Aon is quite info Dan thank you dude Uriel says I tried to fly with a
[01:59:05] big tablet but it was a shinny Sun problems but yes it would be a nice option it's not it's not for flying as much as it is for like bench work and just backup right the battery
[01:59:20] on your goggles goes dead you pull your goggles up and you have this backup screen I look if you're going to put a color Street color screen on the transmitter the only possible reason for
[01:59:35] that is if you're going to drive a live video feed to it there is not a single thing there is not there's not a single thing that the screen on your transmitter displays that is improved by
[01:59:48] having a color screen that is 100% the hype train the marketing the oh my God buy this buy this buy this buy this the stuff that you have is people will judge you right that's
[02:00:03] my thinking we're going to fly a battery or two and then I'm going to wrap this up I am hungry as hell speaking of qx7s I'm going to use mine right now and we're just going to
[02:00:16] rip around the house for a minute nothing too crazy and then I'm some food and look out the front window at the snow there's snow outsidein Georgia in Suburban
[02:00:33] Georgia he said bourbon let's fly the same rig actually actually so the flight footage that I played from this rig was with these two batteries these two batteries that were dead when I when I
[02:00:50] brought it home okay oh nope not this battery nope not this battery either this battery I flew out front not this battery this battery was dead when I not this battery this battery was dead
[02:01:09] there it is this was dead when I flew it home you saw the flight footage earlier in the live stream look where it's at now I'm going to fly the rest of this battery now fully dead when fly flying
[02:01:22] outside after 50 seconds in the 30° weather this one as well this is the second battery that I flew I'm going to fly the rest of these now in the
[02:01:35] warmth when when I when when I have when I fly gigs in the winter time which is usually not many but boy lately I've had a bunch on the way to the gig here's the cheat code on the way to the gig or
[02:01:51] just if you're going out to fly in the cold keep your batteries in a lipo safe bag Kevlar bag right but leave the top opened and put it on your floorboard and suck it up or just don't wear your
[02:02:03] coat that's the move don't wear your coat and put your your car's HVAC system on full heat put it on recycling so it's not pulling in outside air it's recycling the air and reheating
[02:02:16] the air more and more and more and put that battery bag on the floor right under your floor vent and run full fan on your floor vents and cook those batteries
[02:02:28] and then when you take off and just keep them there for as long as you can when you get there leave your car on just roast those batteries with that nice hot air from your car's HVAC system
[02:02:38] and then take take each battery out individually put it on the rig when you take off it's going to fly great for about a minute for about 1 minute you're going to get great flight performance
[02:02:49] and then it's going to be cold as balls but for that first minute it's going to fly great these two batteries flew like for that first minute cuz I didn't do that they were like regular you know
[02:02:58] 70 degree room temperature so 10 seconds after taking off these things were balls ass cold but this let's see how much extra runtime we get from these batteries that were at like two volts
[02:03:11] when I came down from being in from flying them outside earlier today and I'm putting them through the same exact rig I'm glad I thought to do this oh I didn't hit the button on the transmitter
[02:03:25] now it's going to take forever to connect to elrs come on elrs go through all the things that you go through to try to make your connection when you it doesn't happen right away there it is
[02:03:36] this is I'll talk about what this rig is in a second because I forget no I don't forget 0702 40,000 KV Motors Matrix AIO I don't know what props are on this I have a funny feeling these are the HQ
[02:04:10] ultra light bip Planes that was a close one kick the OSD on for you guys so you can see the SAG I getting a bunch of battery warnings but like we're 50 seconds in already oh cut that
[02:04:36] tight oh almost got out of it I got on the throttle a little bit too late look at this janky ass Cube this is what happens when people come down here and open this door and then don't fix the
[02:04:49] the gate afterwards the gates afterwards ohthe quad gate setup here while very cool looking is very hard to power Loop and Matty flip through so there's an extra minute and a half it is on the
[02:05:13] HQ ultralight by blades there's an extra minute and a half from this battery after being like un almost unflyable outside yeah the cold and little tiny Mah cells are a terrible
[02:05:32] combination let's discharge this second one that you guys saw me fly outside hey this one's sitting at 3.8 see if I can get oh so close I got through three but I hit that fourth
[02:06:02] one Matty flips are actually easier because I can look at the look at the gates as I'm sort of approaching trying to power Loop these oh there's one trying to power
[02:06:17] Loop the quad gate the quad gate is Ultra tough that's not really a matty flip I didn't get the ah I didn't get the rearward momentum I hear the dog the dog sounds like Thumper upstairs right now what's
[02:06:36] he doing he's probably in here with Maggie nope where are they where is everybody H the low battery full room power Loop power Loop wait's is called a power Loop why did that sound so weird just
[02:07:06] now the key to doing this as a as a power Loop is to increase elevation all the way up here and then see that like wait wait wait wait wait wait and then blast Full Throttle
[02:07:22] two different ways to do power Loops right come in like low and then don't increase altitude stay down here pitch back pitch back pitch back Full Throttle and then it's less of a loop
[02:07:34] and it's more of like a ellipse right so you and it looks kind of cool because you come in really low you scrape the ground and then bang and you go up and through but the problem with
[02:07:45] the quad gate is this increase of altitude what makes it easier is to come into the power Loop get give it a little bit of throttle to come up like this as you're pitching back and then Full
[02:07:57] Throttle so you try to do it like in in that sort of way so I just need to adjust I don't usually do power Loops I do them upstairs where I climb up the wall I wait until
[02:08:09] it stalls out and then I hammer the throttle and throw it across the room that looks cool because you're like climbing the wall right like you're you're keeping that proximity to the
[02:08:17] wall and it just looks neat I need to if I'm going to leave this quad gate set up here I need to just sort of change the way that I do power Loops also this rig has the CO3 camera and the beta
[02:08:31] FPV banana hammock canopy the dog just fell down we're going to go visit him in a second let me just get this Els antenna threaded back through the hole here come on
[02:08:52] get in there that's close enough this is a fully charged battery now she knows not to get out of the shower when with the door open there's kids in the house remember so any any nakedness
[02:09:27] there's multiple layers of closed doors oh God why did I just go to the right there that was so weird let's go see the spaghetti monster what stop it
[02:09:52] is there someone on the couch oh my God there's a Maggie on the couch I almost hit her she might be watching us right now quick say something nice about her look how cute she is there's a dog
[02:10:07] down there I knew it I knew there would be a dog here this is his new absolute favorite toy it's a little Sandy Claws look at them there's that stall that I was talking
[02:10:27] about all I'm doing is power looping the room right but that big stall just looks really fun it looks really really cool oh she knows thank you oh just skimming that built in
[02:10:50] there oh she's the greatest god luckiest guy oh we flew almost the entire battery upstairs I don't I don't fly up there all that often I miss
[02:11:06] it this thing's hurting what's what's happening with you why you why you jiggling quad why you jiggling when I hammer the throttle is something going on did I
[02:11:17] break it hold on let's see frame seems okay why is that propeller hitting the duct though huh it's might just be sagging the battery down frame seems
[02:11:38] okay it's just sagging the battery down a bunch weird let's fly a bunch more really sag the battery see it there's there's a bunch of Jiggles oh God that ain't going to help it you
[02:11:56] know what it probably is these Ultra lightweight HQ props are with things that are ultra light they tend to also be ultra fragile oh man it is flying like a bag of smashed right now
[02:12:15] the I probably bent up a blade there was one or two nasty crashes upstairs there's probably a blade that's bent up easy way to test that flip into Turtle mode and then very
[02:12:30] gently spin each propeller up slowly and feel for the vibrations and motor number one has a bunch of vibrations four is clean three is clean two's got a bunch of vibes
[02:12:52] two and one are vibrating pretty good these are the 1 mm motor shaft so I either bent up props the props look fine I think I've bent up some motor shafts on these which is fine because Weeble
[02:13:08] sells 0702 Bells with 1 and a half millimeter motor shafts and you'll never Bend those one and a half mil motor shafts on a 65 mil lightweight
[02:13:19] rig one more battery we'll switch to a to a different rig just for the sake of it let's go to the Newbie drone race version 3.1 for the ultimate in Insanity super
[02:13:41] lightweight great power and it's got CAC firmware ultimate lightweight newbie drone OSD oh my God I can't believe it hit the ceiling that late you
[02:14:12] teddy hello small dog can I shoot that Gap nope buddy why don't you try to there you go come on it's a it's an evil Intruder try to eat it it's
[02:14:28] funny there you go come on Chase me around oh my God it keeps itting the ceiling on those I'm pretty dialed in on those full room power Loops what this this camera
[02:14:45] is it a different uptilt than I'm used to as well though oh God the the the power to weight ratio of this is absolutely insane no no oh I knew that was going to be close
[02:15:10] but I don't think it was going to be that close look how just look how quick this thing moves around Jesus full race rig man I have to like speed up everything that I'm doing for this oh
[02:15:32] please no Oh that's unrecoverable oh look at me oh this thing does that man it just has so it's so light and has so much power God damn it oh dog Bull's over there somewhere
[02:15:54] let's lock in chat let's lock in we're locking in just like all the all the successful live streamers we locking in let's just say the same thing over and over
[02:16:13] again we'll say lock in and let's go a thousand times and then everyone will love us that's what success looks like in 20245 oh my God this whole ain't leaving thing
[02:16:36] instead of low battery it no like we're used to seeing low battery not ain't leaving if it says ain't leaving I'm just going to keep flying until the battery's on
[02:16:49] fire I don't know man I'm an old person aren't I there you go friends there are two heinously powerful rigs one of them a little bit lighter weight let me give you a couple of
[02:17:08] Weights that was the Newbie drone race speec version 3.1 which I think is like the lightest thing that you can it's certainly the lightest thing that you can buy
[02:17:22] it's probably not the lightest thing you can build but it's pretty close to the lightest thing you can build 16.47 16.5 G previously we were flying a custom build which was 17.7 G
[02:17:36] so full extra gram but 40,000 KV Motors versus 30,000 KV Motors Tri Blades versus bades all kinds of weird stuff different between these two both fly
[02:17:48] amazing quite a time to be alive live go fly your six batteries my friends six a day every day you'll be a way better pilot before it and YouTube just crashed so I can't even
[02:18:02] look at the goddamn chat thanks YouTube for being so worthless that you've tricked us all into never mind ah oh my God please fix your YouTube please please fix it
[02:18:22] fix it I'll see you guys on Sunday at 3:00 Eastern I'm starving 03 air units not air unit 04 massive thumbs up massive massive massive thumbs up amazing job DJI way to build a product for your avat 2 and DJI
[02:18:40] Neo and then take it out of there and sell it to us Geniuses love you bye I'm not ready here's some more flying outside in the snow where is it here's the the the tiny whoop I was flying a minute ago the
[02:19:03] white one that I just showed you here's me flying that outside I'll give you the whole flight the first half of that battery notice the voltage sag from 30° temperatures love you bye
[02:19:23] God damn this computer I'm going to light it on Fire come on man a he
