You looking skinny Michael!
You are my new favorite viewer! That earns you a pinned comment, lmao.
Don't worry, Bob. Even in 2024 there are still newbs getting into FPV who want to learn the history, the "why" of electronics choices and are excited about building their own quad. I'm currently practicing soldering and researching components for my first build. Probably going to order a set of imperials!
Rollin' with the Rollins & the Beautiful Bob Roogi!
Haha, there you go!
Loving this series and I am always happy to hear Bob talk.
Yep, one of the escs on my first build exploded the first time I powered them up. 30cm flame shot upwards. Wish I'd filmed it.
These interviews are so inspiring! Bob is one of my favorite innovators in the industry, and the least I can do is being his Patreon and buy his excellent products (even if importing taxes are high from the US to Europe, they are worth every cent).
Keep coming these fantastic interviews! 🔥
Thank you :) These have been a lot of fun to put together.
Funny enough I just got a job in marketing and I 100% agree with that you can’t sell a product without amazing marketing that captures your audience attention to want to buy it
Yep. And the old-school ways of marketing are breaking down.
Having an amazing product helps a lot too.
Sorry about that ESC review... M1 & M2 moved on me..
hahah.
good stuff.
got my 5" motors :) big ole bag of them.
now about that Roogi X class...
Haha, you're the one, huh?!?! :P
you need a boxing rink :) And do that introduction ..On my left with a pink trunk...Booooob roogi
Haha, maybe!
You’ll never be a good pilot without building experience, a pilot needs to know everything about his kwad.
Open source is the best thing to hit our hobby. Bob is upset cause he’s not making money hand over fist.
The lack of quality control is a big problem. would pay more for something that works consistently 🤔 💯
Heh, very much so.
I really enjoyed watching this guys, can't wait for the next one - Keep em coming 😁👍
Always glad to have you along, my friend :)
Can't/won't build the drone? Something's wrong with the new generation. When I started RC I assembled* the transmitter, receiver and servos for my 1st plane. (*soldered all the transistors, resistors and caps to a circuit board and interconnect wiring)
YES. I'm flossing right now ✌️❤️🤘
So much fun and stimulating. Instant gratification ✌️🖖
Right? I do it a whole lot more now :)
A fantastic video. This are too easy in many ways. However I’m still more than capable of setting things on fire for no good reason. Just last week did it with another Air Unit.
Love the format and feel of this channel, I was talking with a few people last few weeks and you are moulding this into something special.
Outstanding.
If you want parts get them now. The prices are going to jump and supply chains are going to be tough. Random lockdowns sweep and change here daily. Shipping is thru the roof. Containers are nearly impossible to acquire. Most smaller manufactures have or are going out of business. They banned English in schools and made training centers illegal sending thousands of people out of the country and huge companies out of business. They took over all the big tech. The walls are going back up.
Yeah man. Looks like full blown economic war first. The world is definitely going to suffer.
Hope you are well, though. Are you back there or are you here?
@@MichaelRollins Here for now, will be there this fall.
Should do a show with Vek if you can get him :P
Isn't it cheaper to just buy a bind and fly than to buy all the parts and then have someone build it?
Probably. But BnFs typically have some kind of cost compromise in them. As a result, you are likely not getting the "best" set of parts. But, tbh, I think that if you blindfolded almost all pilots and asked them to do normal pilot things they would adapt and not be able to tell much difference.
Love your show Michael, definitely an underrated fpv channel, looking healthy my friend, you definitely lost some weight!
Thanks Turtle. And yeah, I’ve been working on it. I’d like to be in good shape when my grand kids are teenagers.
😳🐔😷 REALLY PUTTING ON THE POUNDS, HUH .. MICHAEL??
J/K FPV GOD !
😀
Seriously…. GREAT JOB SIR!!
👍🏻👍🏻
Build service makes 0 sense....why buy parts and send them to someone to put together? Spending how much money on shipping per part and then how much money to build it....when you can just buy an RTF with basically everything you want in it.
additionally if its well-tuned out of the/a box so to speak
As I stated above, this is probably a better approach for most folks. But if you have a very specific use-case then you're going to want to build it yourself or built professionally. The cine-lifters are a perfect example. Most folks will not put them together as they can't afford for them to crash.
@@MichaelRollins I can kinda see your point it's just I forsee that whole cost going up quite a bit to have someone build one for you. It would have to be totally worth it for me.
+1👍 💪
hope you figure out multi audio tracks soon :wink: (maybe you have already)
😳
nice talk
Thank you 😁
whats about the VOLUME? oh maaaaaan :(
The audio levels are painful in this one. Great interview, just had a hard time hearing you over bob.
yea watching this on my macbook, parts where i cant hear you michael :)
Yeah. I’m going to swap my subscription so that I can get multiple audio tracks. It’s frustrating when I think things are great and then I get editing and they are not. I appreciate you both keeping on.
I was going to same the same. It's like the mic gain is all off. I have to go back and forth raising and lowering the volume when each one speaks.
Yeah, I couldn't watch it. can't you raise your levels in post? Even if you have to do it manually, it's extremely distracting to listen to this one.
I can't help but disagree with a lot in this video. I agree marketing is huge for capturing market share, but I don't think you need market share to have enough money to invest in R&D. Such as in any industry, you need dedicated talent pool (which this industry has) who will put in the investment time of their brains to make cool shit - with a sense of wild abandonment. If the ideas on needing money to innovate - the drone hobby industry would be getting their new products from the defense industry and not the other way around. I understand if this is controversial but this industry would not be where it is at today without the lower cost labor in the south Asian markets (not just China). Cloning aside, time and time again markets do not see innovation without competition - and competitive price points are a very important aspect to an evolving innovation sector. To dismiss how important lower costs markets are to developing and maturing a technology sector is a comically disillusioned stance. When you consistently belittle and undervalue a market segment, one that we literally rely on today, it is a no wonder that very view companies come back for seconds when working with FpvCycle.
Please don’t 3D print in the background so that you don’t have to adjust the sound. It’s either super low or super high and both are annoying.
I only had a set amount of time to get things ready. I didn’t like the printing at all and was having a hard time adjusting the sound. Next time won’t be so constrained.
This guy cloned himself
Manufacturers live for trades, all companies in the US give orders to China for their low cost and the great quality but most of those manufacturers have small production lines so the QC isn't good. However there are great stuff like they will never brake. CHOOSE before you buy, go for community discussion for the best parts, ask those racers. You can't say copiers are slowing down the community dev since those stuff can't even sell one in China, instead large number of orders are from America, you guys fed them;) By the way, build service sounds stupid, this hobby is not just about flying your quad but learning from it, if you fly without knowing your quad inside and out that'll be meaningless, go have fun with simulator lol
