hi so for some reason the right joystick doesn't seem to be working fully in manual
i don't know if this is something i'm not turning on i went through all the settings
and unlike the simulator where you can you know do backflips front flips rolls it basically the right
stick is still acting like you're in end mode where it you know just basically does light turns
and and pivots but not crazy aggressive rolls and dives and all that literally can't get to do that
a lot of you are trying to help out and i greatly appreciate it after the first couple hours of the
video going live i started seeing the same comment over and over and over and over and so i decided
to throw on the goggles check it out and what do you know sometimes the comments are right
doesn't make me any less annoyed though because two previous shoot days were wasted by not
being able to utilize this mode actually you guys never even saw footage from the first time that i
flew this technically it was in woods in a currently undisclosed location huge shout out to
james stauffer from stauffer for garage actually some of the clips you're seeing right now are from
him flying it because i was too nervous but anyway here is the issue and maybe different goggles come
out like off the assembly line with different settings but at least mine was originally set
up when i was flying with james to where the m was actually the sport mode so anytime i would change
in the goggles from n to s nothing would happen but then when i'd go from s to m on the remote
it would go from n to s in the goggles and i was like do i just have like a broken remote all the
firmware was up to date and everything so then i found in the advanced settings of the goggles that
the m is actually labeled as custom mode and you have to change it from sport to manual and i was
like okay that's super weird but whatever finally i got manual mode so again i threw it up in the
normal and s mode and that's where you guys saw in the first park the other day uh when i threw
it into manual mode and now it was starting to fly around just like an fpv drone but still i could
like the tilts were very limited i couldn't like barrel roll i couldn't flip and so the final step
was going in the goggles we got the menus and then controller and then under like the gain and expo
you'll see like a chart with a bunch of different parameters that you can adjust to your liking
but there's a big old switch at the bottom that was like m attitude limit or something like that
and for me that was on by default and what that does is limits the amount that it will tilt roll
and all that good stuff so literally just flip that switch off and now we have full manual see
i don't have any problem with dji having a couple safety measures before you just accidentally flip
the switch to manual and the drone just starts going crazy but there were just nowhere in the
indicators that was like if you want full access to whatever you got to flip this off is that in
the user manual i'm sure it is also i was getting a joystick control error and somebody suggested
just doing a remote control calibration that cleared that right up so thank you and this past
weekend we went up to michelle's mom's house for passover and i had a couple hours to kill um but
unfortunately this happened trying to fly the dji fpv out here and we're at about 35 mile per hour
gust winds so uh yeah that's that's a lot of fun um and also on and off raining so trying to get
some shots here and there but also being in a neighborhood i don't want to be too dangerous
but i gotta say in the goggles and everything it's you can tell the wind is affecting it a lot
but i know it adds eis electronic stabilization after the fact and then post processing so
maybe in the footage that you are seeing and the footage from the computer is looking a little
bit better but um yeah it wouldn't let me enter manual mode um that could be because i was at
40 battery left when i tried to enter or i don't know if it was because it was too high of wind i
didn't get any wind errors like i've gotten on my mavic in the past uh so my guess is it was
the battery thing because manual mode obviously eats up a lot more uh battery faster so i'm gonna
put in a fresh battery and see if even with these winds i can get a little bit more manual mode in
all right so good news as i'm sure you just saw the footage i was able to get into
manual mode and fly it around zip it around literally for about 20 seconds
and then it started to rain but again the super high winds i was i did my rolls yesterday
i definitely know it works but i'm still not fully comfortable especially in a neighborhood
to do flips and rolls in 35 mile per hour winds in manual mode so
maybe we'll try it once more tomorrow so i still got to fly it a bit but with crazy winds i just
wasn't risking not really just the drone but i was in a neighborhood and so people cars
property i'm not messing with that but finally i was literally on a shoot filming pocket 6k pro
uh footage and i was like this park is perfect it's got open spaces it's got water it's got some
trees to weave in and out of let's throw the drone up one more time and so i actually was able to do
flips and rolls and fly through my first obstacle of trees without hitting anything
and i felt super accomplished i didn't get the perfect like dive and spiral down
sort of thing there wasn't cliff or anything really good to do that i got freaked out every
time i was upside down and then like i saw the ground incoming at like 90 miles an hour so
i just kind of scooped up real quick but i definitely felt way more comfortable than i
did even three or four days ago and gotta say i still think this is a fantastic option for
people getting in to fpv because this is a consumer device it's much easier to set up
i never had to learn soldering or specific wattage to charge batteries properly before they blow up
if i do crash it i have a warranty to back it up to where i can get a replacement for a relatively
low deductible and most of all you have some basic safety features i can't tell you how good
it made me even today when i was feeling really comfortable there were certain moments where like
i just started having little brain farts and you know my muscle memory wasn't perfectly there and
i started to kind of freak out a little bit and i would see trees incoming very quickly and so
anytime i just hit the pause button stops in place and just hovers back in end mode and just allows
you to kind of recoup and uh reset yourself and so for someone like me this is the perfect blend
of safety and fun but am i gonna keep this drone i don't think so the shots that i want to get
i'm just realistically not traveling to those places at least right now maybe at some point
in the future when i'm traveling to beautiful waterfalls and mountainscapes and and all these
places that we've seen the really really good like basically the dji like promo video then sure
i would love to pick one of these up again and yes it was a lot of fun flying in the park but
how often am i really going to do that when i find a shot here it's usually a very limited cool shot
kind of like the one i got for um the beginning of the samsung s21 ultra video i did see that's
not like the middle of nowhere beautiful scenery literally to the left of that is like a highway
to the right of it is like a park and so i couldn't fly this thing through at 90 miles
an hour and constantly see a bunch of cool different spots that was my one cool shot
also like the mavic 2 pro i would love to test out because then you're getting better quality for
cinematography you're getting a log profile you can tweak it a bit more this one has some custom
camera settings but i didn't mess with them all too much the nds definitely can help a little bit
but the auto exposure is constantly adjusting and so all the flying footage that you've seen from
this there's no like color grade on top of that i didn't tweak it at all those are exactly the
footage how it comes out of the camera and for you that may be great perfectly fine but i like adding
a little bit more dramatic effect to my footage and so for me having a drone that has a little bit
higher quality video options is more important than the acrobatics of this again i'm not taking
away what this is i think it's a fantastic especially first generation product if you're
watching this and you think you have a need for fpv or cinematography with crazy acrobatic drone
footage nearly like 9 out of 10 10 out of 10 i don't know somewhere super high i highly recommend
this thing just for me personally i don't think i would get my money's worth because after this
video ends and i'm not really focusing on this for new youtube videos i guarantee you that this thing
is gonna collect dust i'm gonna fly maybe three or four more times this year there you guys have it
hopefully someone else is finding this video uh if you two had an issue getting into the manual mode
and hopefully that's all fixed and for everyone else including myself this is a nice little
closure to the dji fpv drone thanks so much for watching guys and i'll see you in the next video
