- So this is DJI's Air 2S.
It's kind of my go-to drone for something compact.
And this is the Mavic 3 Cine, which is a little bit bigger,
but gives me more capability.
And today DJI has announced this thing
which is the M30 T.
Now this actually isn't designed for cinematography
even though I kind of wish it was,
but it's designed for first responders, public safety,
maybe accident reconstruction to open up roads faster,
basically important stuff
that I honestly don't know that much about,
I mean, I'm just a YouTuber.
But DJI sponsored this video,
so I still get to play with the cool (beep).
Now let me start off
by showing you the insane zoom lens that's on here.
And I happen to know somebody
that's a huge huge fan of super telephoto lenses.
What do you think that is?
- This is nasty bro.
(Host chuckles)
- [Host] Little bit bigger than your Mavic, right?
- Just a little bit.
- [Host] There's actually this map online
that will show you all these rescue missions
where drones help save people's lives.
Kind of crazy stuff.
- Yeah. This is insane.
- [Host] How much do you think that's worth in your hands?
- I'm going to guess 15,000.
- [Host] I actually, honestly, I don't know.
(Frank chuckles)
But it's probably a lot.
I like how you just already knew
how to unfold it and everything.
Can you guess how you turn it on?
- Yeah. I can guess.
Let me try. Let try.
- [Host] Just like your Mavic Air 2.
- That's exactly the same.
(drone rotors humming)
(drone siren wailing)
- [Host] Are you curious on what this thing can do?
- Well, I'm also curious about the controller.
I'm sure the controller looks different, right?
Geez.
(host chuckles)
(drone controller beeps)
- Yeah. It's pretty familiar, huh?
Like you've got more buttons
because a lot of people apparently use these with gloves.
Feels really rugged.
- Yeah, it does.
- Like a little tink.
- Yeah, it feels really good.
- That beacon is bright
and there's certain times where this is a requirement,
and it has to be visible from three miles away.
Can Frank figure out how to take off?
(drone rotors humming)
Are you a little intimidated right now,
- Yeah, big time. flying something so big?
See how this says zoom right here,
you press that and it's gonna zoom in on us.
- Nice.
- Zoom in more.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- No way.
- I'll quickly switch you back to the wide angle
and now you can look around.
- And then look for something.
- See that? So that little tiny green square
is where you're gonna zoom into.
Is that insane? Go to zoom.
Boom.
- Oh
- Isn't that crazy?
- Nice.
Don't you guys feel like we're the SWAT team
(Frank chuckles)
like investigating some shady stuff?
- Yeah.
See this thing on the top left right here?
- [Frank] Yes.
- Hit that. A range finder.
- [Frank] Okay. So that is 869 feet away.
What do you think so far?
- [Frank] I like it.
- You want one
- No, I want two.
(laughs softly)
- You haven't even seen the coolest part yet.
(drone rotors humming)
Boom.
- [Frank] Oh, nice.
- You know what that is? - Heat vision.
- Thermal. - Thermal.
- Or IR.
- All right.
So I'm here trying to convince Carrie
that we need to buy one of these.
If the dogs happen to get lost
in the middle of the woods at night,
how would we ever find them, Carrie?
- All I know is that the girls ever did get lost
and you had this drone, - Yeah.
(chuckles)
- your ass better find them.
It is kind of nice
that the propellers kind of sit up a little bit,
so you can take off from uneven ground.
(drone rotors humming)
Oh, check that out.
Like if she was trying to hide behind a tree or something,
play hide and seek with me,
and then I'll just whip this out.
Right now the thermal isn't as obvious
because the ground is not that different
from your temperature.
So if I was searching for the dogs in the daytime,
I'd probably just be able to just use the regular camera
and the zoom.
But as soon as it cools off,
like early morning or nighttime,
then everything else is dark except for whatever is warm.
So it becomes very obvious.
I definitely feel like in "Mission Impossible", you know.
Hop into the zoom right here,
so that's the 20X zoom but
Oh my God.
(Carrie exclaims)
Oh, whoa.
Oh crap.
I got too excited.
Whoa. That was cool.
You wanna see the wide angle?
Boom.
Isn't that crazy?
- Go back. Go back.
That's so neat.
Holy crap.
- Also check out this minimum focus distance
with the zoom lens.
Ready?
And in we go.
- [Carrie] Oh wow.
- [Host] Look at that.
There's some good detail right there.
Apparently they need it,
'cause they need to be able to see
like fine details of wires or frain things,
or I don't know things that are not seen
- Like utility cruise.
- Yeah. Why don't we have a zoom lens
like this in any of our cinemas?
We want it over here too.
Inspire people are here waiting.
Another feature that I thought was really cool
is a mode called "High-Res" right here.
So you see how this grid appears.
So let's just say,
we need this area here very highly detailed.
What this is gonna do is take a photo
with the zoom lens in each one of these boxes.
So the amount of photos and the amount of time
it's gonna take is gonna change
based on the size of the area.
Let's go with this.
So this isn't gonna work on like a moving object,
but this will show you a grid,
and then you click onto each box to get a close up look.
Now there is a panoramic mode
which will stitch the photo for you.
And this isn't just your standard
left to right panoramic photo.
This is like everything below panoramic,
which is really cool.
So I'm gonna go have a food snack
(Carrie chuckles)
while we wait for this.
(chuckles)
Actually, I just kind of don't have any food snacks.
I really wish I did though.
I could really use one right now.
So check this out, look at that.
I wonder if Google Street View
will ever do something like this.
You know, you have the street view,
and then you have the air view.
(drone rotors humming)
I'm just kidding.
Don't do that with this thing.
How many lives do you think we saved on that flight?
(Carrie giggles)
I don't know, quite a few.
I'm not trying to brag, but I'm kind of a hero.
It's also nice being able to hot swap.
So instead of having to power down
and reacquire GPS every time you boot back up,
you can take one out of time.
Put this new one in, swap out the other one,
few seconds, we are ready to go back up in the air.
Now this controller lasts a really long time
but same can be done as well.
See, it has an internal battery,
so it stays on when you pull off the battery
and put the new one in.
You know how you're supposed
to have insulation in your attic
and behind the walls and all.
Well, there's a few areas over there
where we're doing work in the attic
and we removed the insulation.
And check that out.
Can you guess with parts that don't have insulation?
I'm actually shocked at how much of a difference
that insulation makes.
See, if I draw this box around that area,
it's gonna tell me the warmest temperature
and the coolest temperature.
And the uninsulated parts are a solid five degrees cooler,
insulating all the heat out.
So there you go.
Insulation actually works.
And as you can see,
this works as an excellent stunt finder too.
Oh, there's more parts of insulation missing right there.
But also we can see instantly which directions
the beams are running to- - [Carrie] Yeah.
- which is nice.
Where is it?
Like right around here.
(drill buzzing)
- [Carrie] Yeah.
Now there are other things that normal people
like us can use it for,
like checking to see how well cooked your burrito is.
We're also using it to check the circulation
of our hands and feet.
And Carrie has no circulation in her feet.
Look at that.
It's just completely gone.
(laughs softly)
- I already knew that,
(host laughs softly)
but now you really believe.
- Another cool thing is
let's say this is the command center
and I have several of these flying around.
I can access the operation from right here
in the comfort of my very own room.
So from here, I can see the position of the drone
where it's looking.
Now, the other drones do also need to be connected
to Wi-Fi or a hotspot.
There's also the option to completely
disconnect a drone from the internet.
Like if you're a secret agent
and you're doing some high security stuff,
it's kind of like airplane mode of the drone.
But if it's more of a collaborative project,
and you don't need that high security,
Flight Hub is awesome.
I can go ahead and select a point of interest here.
And on the drones controller,
we can see that it appears there,
and we can say, "Hey, look at that point",
and it centers it right there.
And even from here, I can open up drone view
and see the feed live,
which is really cool,
and make it also bigger or smaller.
- Is there someone flying FPV over there?
- [Host] What really?
- [Carrie] Yeah.
- FPV's really cool.
It's like the small world where, you know, if you fly FPV,
and you meet somebody that flies FPV,
it's like, "Oh, hey, we're immediately friends."
They're flying right there,
so it's a question of where the pilot is.
You're looking for someone wearing goggles.
- [Earl] Mr. Potato.
- [Host] Yo, are you flying?
- [Earl] I am.
- Finally found who was flying the FPV.
What's your name?
- My name's Earl.
- [Host] Earl. All right.
- [Earl] Yeah, Earl Bernard
- Did you notice it was me through the goggles
or afterwards?
- No, I didn't because I crashed over here
and then I saw somebody walking towards the drone,
and I thought somebody was gonna grab it.
- Oh, oh. So it's down.
You're trying to recover it right now.
- [Earl] Yeah. Yeah.
- Oh, we should try to get it then.
Then this is half of what FPV is.
It's just kind of going like, where is it?
- I'm really really pleased to meet you, man-
- Yeah, I know, that's awesome.
- because I watch your videos and stuff.
- [Host] I found him.
Carrie's the one that spotted you first.
- Oh awesome.
- 'Cause she's got the Eagle eyes
(eagle piping)
(Carrie laughs gently)
We get out in the sound effect
every time Carrie's spots something.
You fly with like the DJI digital system,
- I do. - right?
- I do.
- [Host] But you've never flown a regular Mavic.
- Never
- What?
- Never.
Honestly, I couldn't tell you what this is.
(Host and Carrie both chuckle)
How many total sensors does it have?
- So every side, including the top, back, sides.
And there's an FPV camera right here as well,
so that you can always see which direction is forward.
So I'm trying to tell Carrie
that we really need one of these
(Carrie chuckles)
for when the dogs get lost
- Tell you what, it looks expensive.
(chuckles)
Saving a life is priceless.
- See, you get that line right there?
Saving a line is priceless.
- Or a dog's life.
- Exactly.
(chuckles)
Carrie thinks the dog's life is more important.
It can look in pretty much every direction.
So as we, you know, walk around it,
it's detecting us and the distance and all that.
- [Earl] Wow.
- [Host] Does it feel weird just not flying FPV
and not having the goggles?
- [Earl] Not at all.
- Easy, huh, compared to what you are used to?
- Very easy.
What's the range on something like this?
- Oh, you could get really far.
Well, technically you need to be line of sight
unless you have certain wavers.
This green light means that this controller
is in command of the aircraft.
But let's say you have multiple controllers,
like I want to be all the way over there.
- Okay.
- You could be here taken off with this,
and I could have my second controller
go all the way over there-
- And he could take control of it.
- Exactly.
- And you can just daisy chain it.
And I guess for pipeline inspection, that's common.
Like I've never had a real job, so I don't really know.
- Right.
- I just exist in a world
where everything just happens to work.
Like I plug in something into the wall,
I have electricity all of a sudden.
So right now this is the FPV mode.
So you're literally just looking at what the aircraft sees,
which is what you're familiar with, right?
Your camera is locked onto the quad itself.
And it also tells us our wind speeds,
which is just useful information to know.
- [Earl] Sure.
- Now we're gonna go ahead
and switch over to our main camera right here.
So you get to look around, up, down, left, right.
Yeah. You get to look at the propeller.
So if you're having trouble finding a specific spot,
you can double tap on your thing
and it'll center it on that object-
- [Earl] There you go. right there.
So let's say we wanna look up that smokestack right there,
now this is the fun part.
- [Earl] Wow.
- [Host] Check that out.
- Wow. That's an amazing picture.
- Right?
- Amazing.
- That smoke stack is over there, is that smoke stack?
That's what it's called?
- Yeah.
Again, I've never had a real job.
Right now, we're recording simultaneously four feeds.
So we have what you're seeing on the controller
going on here.
We also have the wide angle,
and we also have the thermal,
as well as the telephoto.
So they're all recording at once.
- That thing just sits there,
20 mile plus winds, it would just be locked.
- Yeah. 'Cause it's top speed is believe about 50
but you can fly it at winds around 30, something like that.
So even if it's 30 mile per hour winds,
then you still have a 50 mile per hour capability out of it.
So even if you're flying it towards a headwind,
you still get 20 miles per hour towards it.
- Yeah. The thing is just rocks off.
- Yeah. So I could actually change the type of IR
between a couple of different looks, you know,
depending on what you're trying to do
and what temperatures you're trying to read, right?
And apparently there's a slight variation
in actual temperature.
So you have to actually take into what material it is.
And if it's metal, it might emit more.
So this is actually pretty close as is.
If your tolerances for measuring the temperature's exact,
then there's like post-processing software
you can run it through.
And if you're looking for something in particular,
like a fire or something like that,
you can basically say,
"Hey, let me know if you see anything at this temperature,"
and it'll beep at you.
- Amazing.
(drone rotors humming)
So what's the voltage on it now?
- You look at voltages for your FPVs,
but this just kind of gives you this timer up top,
like about 16 minutes 34 seconds.
It's definitely easier flying this
than your FPV drones.
You don't have to know how many volts per cell
you should be tracking and all that stuff-
- Right.
Before it drops out of the sky when you run too low.
- Exactly.
Fly time on something like this.
- Looking at 40 minutes flight time, 37 minute hover time.
So if you're flying the drone,
you actually can elongate the battery life versus a hover.
Removable antenna.
So if you want to run your antennas to the top of a roof
of a command vehicle or command center, you could.
And then the drone itself has an IP 55 rating.
If you have rain in the forecast, you know,
like you said usually like,
"Oh let's move the shoot to tomorrow."
Obviously, if someone's lost
you can't necessarily move the search to the next day.
So the drone has the IP 55 rating
which protects it from dust and other debris.
But it also so includes water.
IP 54 rating as well.
So our first remote controller
with a weather rating as well.
- Sam, have you ever seen a thermal camera before?
- Only in the movies.
- Would you be down to run in a field?
Pretend you're lost
- Dean, I'm always lost.
(Host chuckles)
- [Host] So different departments depending on their needs
might get different attachments and now.
- Yeah. So some are using spotlights a lot.
Some might use speakers a lot.
I think we even have a spotlight speaker combo, you know.
- Oh, that's the one I want
- Two for one sale.
- Some people in search and rescue
communicate with a victim.
- Will the microphone be on the controller or (indistinct)
- You'll be able to speak into the controller.
- That is so cool.
I've always wanted to just be able to fly up to people
and talk to them.
You gotta check out the zoom on this thing.
- Yeah, Ben, so that green box is showing
what we're looking at,
and then switch over to zoom camera.
- [Ben] Oh snap.
- This would be a great home security system.
- Dude.
- [Host] That's for sure.
- You could check if the taco man is there,
say hi Jose.
(all speakers laugh)
- [Host] Well, that's why you gotta get the speaker.
- If there was a certain location,
maybe this pole has fallen down in a storm,
or on a search and rescue mission
and it's a point of interest
that we wanna come back and look at,
drop a pin with this pin button,
and then you'll see it actually appears
on the screen there.
So you're essentially dropping a GPS point with a height
and saying, "I wanna look at that later".
We could move the camera around,
look at something else.
And then you say, "Hey, I wanna look at that pin again."
So it brings you back to the pin you dropped on the screen.
- [Ben] That's cool.
- [Host] Awesome.
- I think in that lunch table right now
we could cook eggs on it if we wanted to.
(Ben laughs)
- [Host] Oh man, I'll take a burger, a fried egg.
But anyways, we have to go and return the drone
back to DJI now.
But what do you think? Are we gonna get ourselves one?
(Carrie chuckles)
- I think we need to remodel the bathrooms first
and then maybe we can talk about that.
- Okay. That's fair.
- It's funny 'cause there's a story
that actually popped up on Carrie's feed
where a dog got rescued by a drone, right?
- Yeah. It's just a few days ago.
The dog got lost, I think, while they were hiking,
and they were able to find it using a drone.
- But that is all.
Thanks for hanging out with us in another video,
and we will see you guys later in Tag Time One.
(Carrie laughs hysterically)
- Stranded dog lured to safety by sausage
dangling from a drone.
- Are you serious?
No, really?
- Yeah. That's a different story
than the one I was telling you.
So the drones are out there, saving lives.
- Dog lives.
- Doggy lives.
