    Great location, great attitude and great story! I could really empathize with the frustration and elation of this experience. Also appreciate that this was more of a story about the testing a pre-release product than it was a definitive review of a drone. A true professional is prepared to overcome obstacles, and that you did.

  • @garritj
    @garritj Před 2 lety +5

    Thank you for this inspiring story, because this was more than just a video. My first response when the M3 didn’t work was, DJI rushed this drone to the public and other thoughts… but, as I watched the rest of your story in Alaska my thoughts changed as you explained how it would’ve been easy to get mad at DJI, the drone and lost footage. It wasn’t about the bad. It was about taking in what you HAD and being grateful for the experience.
    Side note: I don’t think people know how much time and money these take to produce. Well done to the both of you!

    Inspirational. Did a solo trip to Alaska from the UK back in 2010 with just a 4 x 4 for a home and a mountain bike for exploring, on a month long road trip through the wilderness. Up to now, the most life affirming experience of my life. To have had a drone at the time would have been the icing on the cake, but now I have one I guess it's time to plan the return trip.
    Thanks for fuelling the life goals 🤘

    Great video! one of the best so far! Congrats for being able to manage the frustration and to turn unfortunate episodes into something so exciting and attention gripping. I loved the shot where it seems like you are remote controlling the chopper!! :-) also I have to say that the shots taken by the camera mounted on the rear rotor of the chopper are the sickest...You know what I think I loved most? The rithm, i mean the editing is fantastic.

  • @thomasmaughan4798
    @thomasmaughan4798 Před 11 měsíci

    6:35 Flipping an operating drone upside down seems non-optimum. I catch mine and just hold down the throttle for a few seconds and it stops. Because of gyroscopic action, flipping the drone is certainly going to put a strong sideways load on the motor bearings and mounting screws, a load that it is not expecting and probably not designed for.
    The views of the fjord and mountains are *glorious* ! Nicely done.

    I taught a new friend today one of my favorite expressions, and I'm pretty sure you have heard it. "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference". You guys epitomize that expression in everything you do. Saint Francis of Assisi. What a beautiful video and adventure.

    Tip: When you catch the drone by hand and it tries to spool up, lift it up while you hold the stick down.
    Its trying to avoid an obstacle (your hand) and it stops fighting once you raise it a foot or so with stick down.

      I am concerned that twisting it while the motors are spinning is going to put a strong sideways force on the motor bearings.
