This is the very first time I'm coming out to fly the DJI Avata, I'm a little bit nervous,
not gonna lie, I have used the simulator but I feel... okay I crashed a lot.
But I feel like the simulator wasn't very good and it was quite laggy, but we'll see you know
let's see what happens.
Might want to take my glasses off.
bBfore I do that
let me turn it on first right.
I forgot to put the cables in anyway, so, good start.
It keeps beeping at me. Not quite sure why.
See it's beeping. There's nothing on my screen. I haven't turned the battery on. So I have to
remember to put the battery on, fine that makes sense and... yeah so I heard stuff now yeah yeah.
Okay let me just get myself sorted. It's still beeping though, what's beeping?
Okay connection successful. Connected device not bound to aircraft, you may continue flying
with a connected device five times, connect to your bound device remote control to continue.
Huh?
Does it... connected device not bound to aircraft.
Why? Is that bound now? Okay binding successful. I thought I did that already, I guess not.
Okay.
I haven't put an SD card
in my goggles so I can't record what I'm doing. Let's just get flying.
This is so cool.
I'm just gonna keep my finger on the pause button;
This is so much fun, I love it.
I wonder what it'd be like to fly with the actual controller though
I feel like this motion control is really strange.
It feels really weird to use.
I'm doing a lot better than I did in the simulator, I can tell you that.
Didn't mean to press pause, oh man I feel... okay first crash.
I just crashed so I need to go and find it now. I have no idea well I do know where it is it's like
around those bushes somewhere, but that was really fun, that was really fun. I need to remember to
put an SD card in my goggles though so that I can record what I'm doing on the goggles as well,
so yeah let me try and find my drone and see what the damage is. I have seen a lot
of other people crash and it's been fine so I'm hoping mine is going to be fine, it was
only a little tumble in the grass so I'm pretty sure it's gonna be all right. I can hear it.
I can hear it.
Was it over here?
Just found it.
Looks alright there'... looks like it's a cut some grass but it looks fine,
props look alright, everything looks fine, so I'm gonna do some more. Also actually
I've got my GoPro with me so I might take the SD card out of the GoPro
and put it in the goggles. I know you're not really supposed to
mix SD cards without formatting them first in different things but I'm just gonna try this
anyway and hopefully my SD card will be fine. I'm sure it will be, it'll be fine. 18 minutes left.
I've got 18 minutes left, plenty of time, but the lens has stuff on it I also need to clean
the filter off because it's very dirty. So for my filters I've got Freewell filters,
I use Freewell filters for everything but they have a Standard Day pack so you've got an ND8,
16, 32 and 64. Is that right? Let me have a look, yeah ND8, ND16 and ND32 and 64. So at the moment
I'm using the ND16 but I in all my excitement didn't actually switch my footage over to an,
the camera over to manual settings so I'm going to do that now for the next bit of this flight and
then actually you'll be able to see the difference in why I would use ND filters.
