All right so now it is the next day and overnight I did what everybody should have done the first
time before you go fly this DJI FPV drone and that is I tried out the FPV flight simulator
that it comes with that sort of steps you through the tutorial how to fly it all the buttons how to
disarm it arm it and then i also looked up how to get the true full manual mode enabled changed
those in the settings changed a couple other things in the menus and now I'm ready to come
back here and fly it again but unfortunately this morning it is a lot colder and it is
super windy out here i think it's roughly like 15 mile an hour consistent winds with gusts up
to about 30 miles an hour so of course that should make this next flight even more interesting right?
Another thing I did was I enabled audio and it's supposed to transmit audio back to the
to the goggles which is something that the DJI FPV system doesn't do so I'm curious to
give that a try because I liked flying with audio on my analog drone back a few years ago
Well that's a little bit tricky to take off in manual mode because I have the uh
the stick uh spring is there to auto center it and it's also giving me a stick error
I don't know if that's because I have that spring set or if it's something else
but other things I changed is now it's a 4:3 picture and I've got less colors because i set
it to d-cinelike which it's kind of weird that it changes that for the goggles too
let's see is there a net in there no i don't see any net in that goal whoa so much wind
all right and now i know the bottom left the H height is how high off
the ground i am let's do a little roll and I definitely get live audio and it's pretty good
no crackling like i get with the analog stuff it's not crazy loud
all right let's go up to 300 feet see how high that is 100 150 200
there's 300 feet 350. that's about what I would have guessed it would be
let's see how fast can i go
73 miles an hour that way
let's see I bet if I go with the wind I could beat that
quite easily see I have to go up this way a bit first and then turn around
99.3 is as fast as it'll at least tell me it's going there must be a limiter there somehow
it's not doing too bad considering how crazy windy it really is
let's see does it let me adjust the camera angle it does
and now it's just screaming trying to fight the wind
and if i go back this way full throttle again
99.3 hmm that's a little suspicious that it just tops out at 99.3 no matter what i do
oh now it's telling me there's an aircraft in the warning area fly with caution
that must be what happens when there's an airplane somewhere nearby and ADS-B
and that airplane has ADS-B to let me know where it is it'd be really cool if it was like the
home icon where it's on this on the screen directly
I can hear when the props are fighting the wind for sure
Oh yeah now it's i think occasionally warning me that i should get rid of the spring that's
in the throttle it's really kind of annoying that's down there in the corner all the time
I'm not gonna get very much flight time today with it being about
35 40 degrees outside and super windy
and the clouds are moving in at least I had sun when I started but wow yeah the clouds are gonna
cover that sun in no time
you can really see it off that direction very very cloudy
probably been flying for four minutes and the battery's down to 37 percent
I know four minutes of what I have left gosh I don't know what the actual flight time has been
I don't think it tells me oh I've been recording for seven minutes so
I guess it's still pretty decent flight time
but hey I've got to fly at this sort of an angle just so I sort of stay going the same direction
I'd say should I go under this goal post way out here in this wind?
Oh that was closer than i wanted it to be!
yeah I'm not quite ready to do too much close proximity stuff with this drone yet especially not
on a crazy windy day like this
normally I like to fly super close to the pavement but I don't think I can really do that with this
because if I skid across the ground it's going to hit the legs and it's going to
just flip the machine right over so that's not going to be something I can do with this one
have to reserve that for my other drone instead
yeah there's somebody out for a cold morning walk two people
and now it's shaking a little bit going right into that wind oh yeah it's having quite the struggle
now it says aircraft and warning zone
again all right i'm getting down to 20% can I flip it into normal mode yes oh gosh look at that
it cannot handle flying this very well at all in this wind
manual mode handled the wind way way better than this
and will I even be able to land it
oh it landed that was not easy though it was at such an angle whoa wind all right
well when that sun went away it got a lot colder but it is nice to be able to fly with the audio
that was something i missed for sure all right my hands are freezing now that it's so cold out here
oh my GoPro even got some condensation around the lens or something successful flight and
time to go home and check out the video and see how it looks otherwise yeah thanks for watching
