So right now we have three of the most popular consumer drones.
We have the GoPro Karma, the DJI Mavic and the Phantom 4.
We’re going to see which one is fastest.
Jared, what do you think?
[Jared] Um, I honestly think this one will be the slowest.
I think it will be a tossup between the Mavic Pro and the Phantom 4.
Zack] Alright.
So we’re going to race these three drones going across the sidewalk and then coming
back, and whoever reaches back here first wins.
And then this drone is going to be getting an aerial shot of the whole race.
Let’s get started.
[Incessant buzzing]
Try not to hit each other on the way back when you come back.
[Jared] Okay.
[Zack] Okay, on the count of three: one, two, three.
[Jared] Oh my gosh, I’m winning this!
[Zack] Alright, I think I crossed.
[Jared] Oh I definitely crossed.
[Joel] The camera’s not even following.
I have no idea where I’m at.
[Zack] I’m coming back.
We are so going to wreck each other.
[Jared] Oohh!
Ha ha!
Oh no it’s close…that was close!
[Zack] Who was in front?
Who was in front?
[Jared] I don’t know!
[Joel] I’m coming guys.
Keep coming.
[Zack] On the count of three: one, two, three.
[Jared] Ooohh, full blast Karma!
[Zack] Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
I’m past.
[Joel] I can’t see where I’m at.
[Jared] Well, that’s a perfect turn if I’ve ever seen one myself!
[Zack] Where am I going?
[Jared] Oh my gosh I’m going to win!
[Zack] No no, I’m up I’m up!
[Jared] I think you beat me.
I think you beat me.
That was close!
[Zack] I’m impressed.
The GoPro is doing really good.
[Jared] In normal mode it’s keeping up really really well.
[Zack] Do we even want to try sport mode, cuz it’s going to be fast.
[Jared] It’s going to be pathetic, but…
[Zack] So now we’re switching into sport mode which means the drones are way faster.
And there’s no safety features as far as like obstacle avoidance so we have to make
sure not to hit each other or the building behind us.
One, two, three.
[Joel] Oh my gosh.
Mine’s not going any further.
It won’t even go.
[Jared] Ha ha ha!
Oh dude I smoked you!
I smoked you!
[Zack] You’re hauling dude!
You beat me by at least 30 feet on that one.
[Jared] I took a really really good turn on that though.
That was a sweet turn.
[Joel] I’m not going to lie.
I’m not controlling this at all.
I don’t know what’s going on.
Hm.
[Zack] One, two, three.
[Joel] No control.
Ha!
[Jared] Ohhh no what am I about to do?
Oh no I’m out of control!
Where’s my control?!
[Joel] Holy cow.
[Zack] I think I had you on that one.
[Jared] I think you did too.
I was way all over the place.
I was everywhere.
[Zack] It is so fast!
One, two, three!
[Jared] Joel, go up…pull left ha ha!
[Zack] Oh no.
I found the trees guys.
[Joel] Oh I have no idea where I’m at.
Oh.
[Jared] Oh my gosh dude, I’m going to beat you guys.
Dude you’re way over there!
[Zack] Where?
Agggg!
[Jared] I am going to win!
[Zack] I thought that group of people was us.
Whoa, come back!
[Jared] I’m going to win!
Yeah!!!
Dude, that is the tortoise in the air right there.
That is just what happened.
[Zack] I don’t even know where my drone is.
[Jared] The way to beat the Phantom 4 and the Mavic Pro is to have inexperienced racers!
[Joel] Yeah, both of them get lost.
[Zack] Whoa!
Alright let’s try that again.
That was the only time the GoPro won right?
[Jared] Yeah!
[Zack] Alright so we just finished racing and it turns out it doesn’t really matter
as much if the drone is fast – it’s more the pilot.
[Jared] That is a huge factor in this.
[Joel] Like 99 percent of the problem.
[Zack] Cuz each of the drones won at least once right?
[Jared] Yes, uh huh.
[Zack] And I think the only time the GoPro won was when both me and Joel got lost somewhere
in the field.
[Jared] Right.
Even without sport mode though, the GoPro did hold up pretty well.
[Zack] Yeah.
It did.
So during this whole process, both of the DJI drones were fine, but we actually had
some problems with the Karma drone.
What do you think was going on?
[Jared] Well the Karma just disconnected one time and then landed all by itself, probably
in the second or third race and we had to restart, reconnect it and get it up off the
ground again and it wouldn’t take off for a little bit.
So I think some software updates are definitely needed to make sure that this is as reliable
as the DJI.
[Joel] But that’s kind of a failsafe to me cuz now at any point if you do lose connection,
it’s going to take care of itself and land.
[Jared] That is right.
[Joel] Hopefully it’s got a good place to land.
I like that.
[Zack] And Spencer this was your first time ever flying a drone and as our camera guy,
what do you think about the Phantom?
[Spencer] It’s really easy to pilot and pretty hard to crash.
[Zack] So Jared and I did a camera comparison between the DJI Mavic and the GoPro Karma
and that’s on my channel.
And we also unboxed both of these drones on Jared’s channel.
So I’ll link both of those down in the video description below and at the end of this video
so you can check out those videos.
If you had to pick one drone to buy for yourself, which one would it be?
Would it be the DJI Mavic or the Go Pro Karma or the Phantom 4?
Let me know down in the comments.
Thanks a ton for watching, I’ll see you around.
[Jared] Bye!
