[54.51] Frank: This is an episode 288. [58.51] Frank: Someone said that there was some new releases of something but I've known news of this has come here [65.51] Frank: so we don't know what you're talking about. [67.51] Frank: Joining us this week we have Curry Kitten [71.51] Frank: Hello [72.51] Frank: We have Bluelle [74.51] Frank: Hello [75.51] Frank: We have Harry Mackfan [78.51] Frank: Bonjour [80.51] Frank: And Arne Frank [82.51] Frank: We, again, might have Jack pop his head in at some point if he feels like it [88.51] Frank: but probably not [90.51] Frank: We'll see [92.51] Frank: But yeah, I mean the only thing I've... [96.51] Frank: I don't know anything about any new releases of anything [99.51] Frank: but I have heard that there's a problem with a firmware update on some goggles [106.51] Frank: so don't do that [108.51] Frank: Don't update the firmware on your goggles [111.51] Frank: because it breaks things apparently [114.51] Frank: Naughty naughty [116.51] Frank: Yeah [117.51] Tony: Anyone drinking at home, if any one of us says DJI you have to take a swig of drink, okay? [125.51] Tony: That's the first one, right? [127.51] Tony: So I've already said it once [130.51] Curry: So start drinking now [132.51] Curry: Let's talk about it [134.51] Curry: because unless even people who didn't do FPV would probably find themselves logging onto YouTube wondering [142.51] Curry: why are there a hundred million videos all about the same thing [147.51] Curry: and why is everybody holding up this broken quad? [150.51] Curry: Yes [151.51] Curry: Oh, is that the new release? [153.51] Frank: I thought we were talking about the Insta360, the new tiny tiny little one that they keep teasing [160.51] Frank: That was what we were talking about, I didn't realise there was a new DJI FPV [166.51] Tony: Have a drink [167.51] Frank: Yeah [168.51] Tony: I'm going to be pissed in a minute [173.51] Curry: I think the quick summary is [176.51] Curry: DJI, drink everybody, have released a drone to try and make their camera drone people cross over to FPV [186.51] Curry: have cunningly made it so fragile that if you land it a bit funny, it explodes and you have to send it away and buy new bits [193.51] Curry: At the same time, if you try and activate the goggles, they might brick themselves and not work anymore [199.51] Tony: I know, crazy [201.51] Tony: Which is fun [202.51] Tony: It's not like DJI to do anything like that normally [206.51] Tony: Where's your drink, Tony? [208.51] Tony: I don't want to drink until tomorrow [211.51] Frank: You're going to save it all up at midnight, just shots [215.51] Tony: I found it, I found it, it was horrible [218.51] Tony: Yeah, I've lost my train of thought now, well, I totally forgot what I'm saying [225.51] BlueOwl: I don't know about you, but the first, the day of the release of the thing I'm not going to mention, everybody knows what we're talking about [232.51] Tony: Come on, don't worry [233.51] BlueOwl: I'm not getting drunk, I mean, I'm old now, so I have to be careful [237.51] Tony: Oh yeah, well I'll do this, hang over, sit in it when you hit 30 [243.51] BlueOwl: So at the end of the day of the release, when I opened the YouTube, I was just, I kept scrolling and scrolling [250.51] BlueOwl: And I'm not even subscribed to that many channels, I don't watch that many FPV videos [255.51] BlueOwl: But everybody just released, it seemed like they released the videos at the very same time, everyone who was testing it [263.51] (Patrons): Everyone went click [266.51] BlueOwl: I don't think I watched any of these videos, to be honest, so I'm happy to hear from you [272.51] Tony: I saw so many on Facebooks, I literally was flicking through and it was just pictures of dangly arms like this [280.51] Tony: And I watched a barbell slowly crash into a tree and then held his drone up and it was broken [288.51] Tony: I thought, wow, that's, there's going to be, someone's going to be earning some money out of this [294.51] Tony: Some Cockle and Bull [297.51] Curry: Well, I actually watched the live event, not knowing that two minutes after that live event, my entire YouTube stream would be swarmed [304.51] Curry: I thought, I'll watch that, that'd be fun to watch live and let's watch little clips [308.51] Curry: I did notice though, and you can tell this, because anybody flying a sort of a GoPro with hypersmooth or using that after-finger effect will have a much smoother video [322.51] Curry: And I noticed in like the official, you know, DJI do these really big, like impressive little demos, don't they, to shove it off [330.51] Curry: And they're always like chasing courses across the field or there's a volcano coming off [334.51] Curry: The clips of each one was like two seconds, two seconds, two seconds [340.51] Curry: So you never sort of see and judge to yourself if it was a bit wobbly or not [345.51] Curry: But I got the impression it was, if you look closely, it's all a bit, all a bit judory [350.51] Curry: And then before you could notice it, it was like, look at these, look at these people riding bikes [355.51] Curry: Or look, there's a car driving fast, very fast [359.51] Curry: But yeah, it's an interesting thing [364.51] Curry: It's going to make DJI a fortune in aftermarket parts [368.51] Curry: That's the only thing I can really think about [371.51] Curry: Because all the people that are buying camera drones and are very used to the throttle stick is something that does altitude [379.51] Curry: And you like push eyeball down the sky, it's suddenly going to be, oh, let's just, let's just try getting a bit flashy [386.51] Curry: I wanted to dive down this mountain and just going to be, oh man, it's going to be [390.51] Frank: I mean that controller that they've released with it, the kind of accelerometer, like one handing thing [397.51] Frank: But I would quite like to have a go with that [400.51] Frank: But on like hubs and kind of, you know, like an X4, like a tiny little tiny whoop type thing [406.51] Frank: I'd like to have a go on that, not on something that costs over a thousand pounds [410.51] Curry: That seems silly, but [412.51] Curry: I haven't watched a proper video on that yet [414.51] Curry: I saw it from there, like demo reel, some guys going like this [417.51] Curry: But I think, did Tommy, I got a bit fed up after about half an hour [425.51] Curry: It was like, there's too many videos [426.51] Curry: I watched Bardwalls one, I watched the official one [428.51] Curry: I watched somebody unscrew it and take it apart [432.51] Curry: God knows if that's going to go back together or not [434.51] Curry: And then I was done, but yeah, I hadn't really seen it other than it looks like it's a motion controller of some sort [441.51] Tony: Yeah, 800 grams, it's quite a bit, I mean, that's what's an average, what is my... [450.51] Curry: Let's say about 500 or 600 grams for a decent, a relatively decent city sort of freestyle quad [460.51] Curry: And of course, if you want to spare battery, pony up 130 quid [465.51] Curry: For a 6S to 2000 milliamp hour [470.51] Curry: That's a lot [471.51] BlueOwl: It's longer, right? Somebody... [473.51] Tony: It's 20 minutes flight time, 15, 20 minutes, spends how you fly [477.51] Tony: So it's pretty good, but I'd get bored doing that [481.51] Tony: I'd get bored doing my 10 minutes flying with the Tomahawk [484.51] Tony: I went out the weekend and flew far and come back [487.51] Tony: And I got cramp again in my wrist and just bolted it in that position [492.51] Tony: And I was like, nah! [493.51] Tony: Cramp in your wrist [495.51] Frank: I was holding it [496.51] Curry: You're doing things funny [498.51] Frank: Is it not... I mean, if... [501.51] Frank: Surely you just kind of leave it in the position and it's just automatic cruise control [505.51] Tony: It was a little bit windy, so it was... [509.51] Tony: The sticks kept blowing away and you had to find the winds on your thumbs to get them back [515.51] Tony: That's it [516.51] Tony: But... [517.51] Tony: Yeah, I don't know, I mean... [519.51] Tony: It's a lot of money, 130 for a battery, isn't it? [522.51] Tony: Especially for your staff [524.51] Curry: 1,200 quid for a quad's quite expensive [526.51] Curry: I mean, you do get the goggles with it, which is good [529.51] Curry: And the controller [530.51] Curry: But, yeah... [532.51] Tony: I think it's alright money for what it is, but... [536.51] Curry: I think you'd want it to... [538.51] Curry: Because, like, Bardwell's crash wasn't much of a crash, was it? [541.51] Curry: We've all been in trees [543.51] Curry: It just looked like he just slightly bumped off [545.51] Curry: But I think the fact that it's 800g [547.51] Curry: If it comes down in anything other than a very controlled landing [551.51] Curry: It's just... those arms are just going to snap, aren't they? [554.51] Tony: Yeah [555.51] Tony: Yeah, I think... I think... [557.51] Tony: I've seen a lot of broken pictures two days in [560.51] Tony: Broken [561.51] Tony: And... [562.51] Tony: Just arms and... [563.51] Tony: The props is 20 quid, isn't it, or something? [566.51] Tony: Four props, 20, 15 pounds [568.51] Tony: I'm sure I read that somewhere [570.51] Tony: They're special props, though [571.51] Tony: Yeah [573.51] BlueOwl: I don't even know if it goes... [575.51] BlueOwl: If you can change the camera angle, but... [578.51] Tony: Yes [579.51] Tony: That would be very hard flying [580.51] BlueOwl: With a little special finger [581.51] BlueOwl: And probably would be her body [584.51] Curry: You can change [585.51] Curry: I actually can get it to 65 degrees, but... [588.51] Curry: You can do it [589.51] Tony: No, it doesn't go ludicrous mode [592.51] Tony: Blue out [593.51] Frank: Yeah [594.51] Frank: Damn it [595.51] Frank: So, Tony, tell us more about where you went flying [598.51] Frank: What were you flying like? [600.51] Tony: Locally [602.51] Frank: Yes, of course, naturally [605.51] Frank: But, you know, we were flying in a big field [607.51] Frank: Through some trees [610.51] Tony: I've done Tomahawk cruise down the valley [616.51] Tony: The valley of... [617.51] Frank: Yes, the local valley [619.51] Tony: The local valley, yes [624.51] Tony: I think it's local [626.51] Tony: It's not far away from me [628.51] Tony: 20 minutes, something like that [629.51] Tony: That's local, isn't it? [632.51] Frank: So, how was your shooting slash fishing with the Thor? [637.51] Frank: How did that go? [638.51] Tony: Very, very good [640.51] Tony: But I went very, very far [642.51] Tony: I cast my line very, very far [645.51] Frank: Exactly, 499 metres away [648.51] Frank: And at 399 feet, yeah? [650.51] Tony: Exactly, to the point [652.51] Tony: And then come back [655.51] Tony: Had a great time [656.51] Tony: Yeah, no, it was a great test [658.51] Tony: Another windy day, but it was less cloudy [664.51] Tony: But still couldn't get any satellites [666.51] Tony: It was... [667.51] Tony: I'm going to have to upgrade my puck, I think [669.51] Tony: It's just rubbish [673.51] Tony: I'd let the guy out under the cupboard, he come with me [678.51] Tony: He's got the V2 puck in his... [682.51] Tony: He's got a 6-inch long-range one [686.51] Tony: And his puck got like 14... [690.51] Tony: No, 8.7, 8 satellites in about half 30 seconds [696.51] Tony: So I've got to change it [698.51] Tony: Because having the home point on your display [703.51] Tony: You know, and how far you've gone [705.51] Tony: And which way to come back [706.51] Tony: It's very important on a long-range quad [709.51] Frank: I was going to ask, like, what you were using the GPS for [712.51] Frank: Because presumably you're not getting it to, like, fly itself [716.51] Frank: If you're having to worry about the wind blowing it around [719.51] Tony: No, that is purely to follow you [722.51] Tony: You know, to know which way's home and how far you've gone [726.51] Frank: Because you couldn't pull out Jack with his return-to-home jacket [729.51] Frank: So you had to have an hour-long screen [731.51] Tony: I did go and see Jack after I went to the valley [735.51] Tony: I went and said hello, stood on his doorstep [738.51] Tony: Threw my dog at him [741.51] Tony: Yeah, he was all right [743.51] Tony: But what I was impressed with with the DJI [748.51] Tony: Sorry, you've got a drink, blue owl, drone [752.51] Tony: Was the return, the home point on the goggles [757.51] Tony: Did you see that in the goggles? [759.51] Curry: Yeah, it's like a little augmented reality thing, wasn't it? [761.51] Curry: So it shows a little H back where the H, your actual home point is [766.51] Curry: So if you're over somewhere in some trees [769.51] Curry: It will plop the H in the right place distance-wise and stuff [773.51] Curry: So you can get back in a sort of more easy way [778.51] Curry: And with its thingy receiver, whatever that thing is [782.51] Curry: Which isn't remote ID [786.51] Curry: It will do the same [787.51] Curry: So if it detects there's a plane [789.51] Curry: It will put them sort of on the map, as it were [792.51] Tony: What's the term for it? [794.51] Curry: EDSB in the map [798.51] Tony: So I haven't actually seen [801.51] Tony: Has anyone got a video of that actually working with a plane coming in [805.51] Tony: And something coming up on the goggles or not [807.51] Tony: Has anyone seen that at all? [809.51] Tony: So we don't know what actually it looks like [813.51] Curry: But expect excuses like I wasn't [815.51] Curry: I just wanted to see what would happen in my goggles [818.51] Frank: It just says alarm and shuts all the matches off [821.51] Frank: And it falls out as an I in [822.51] Frank: Let's see if I can get the two points to collage [826.51] Tony: Yeah, let's find Pong [831.51] Tony: I thought I was just finding Pong off and stuff [834.51] Frank: So were you testing anything new on the Thor [838.51] Frank: Or were you just like, it's a nice day-ish, I'll go fly the Thor [843.51] Tony: It was a nice day [845.51] Tony: I just wanted to push my casting a little further to see [851.51] Tony: Just wanted to push a bit more [855.51] Tony: But I am hoping to get some batteries again soon [859.51] Tony: Because I'm running LiPo's 6S LiPo 2200 at the moment [864.51] Tony: I'm going to try to get some lithium ion soon [869.51] Tony: And do another test, which is going to definitely give me cramp [873.51] Frank: Yeah, I was going to say [874.51] Frank: If you're struggling already on your LiPo's [876.51] Frank: Then your LiOns are going to really do your rists in [880.51] Curry: Maybe you do need iNav just so you can say [884.51] Tony: Just hold on, loiter, loiter please [888.51] Curry: You've got position hold [890.51] Curry: You can like stretch out a bit [892.51] Curry: Rub some ibuprofen gel in your bones [896.51] Tony: What about a mannequin hand, what just does this [898.51] Tony: And then I just can hold the mannequin hand [901.51] Tony: Will that work? [903.51] Tony: What? [907.51] Curry: That sounds a weird thing to do [909.51] Curry: That sounds more hassle than just holding the stick [912.51] Tony: Probably [915.51] Frank: I imagine that there will be maybe a [919.51] Frank: Will there be a bit of a gathering of thaws at Wings and Wheels maybe? [923.51] Tony: Yes, there will [925.51] Tony: I think fossil stuff has got to stand at Wings and Wheels [929.51] Tony: I've been asked to be a pilot again [931.51] Tony: So I'm going to be going there and probably flying a few things [936.51] Tony: What date is it? 26th and 27th of June? [940.51] Tony: I actually thought it was the 21st and 22nd [943.51] Tony: But that's still okay [945.51] Tony: So yeah, fossil stuff will be there [948.51] Tony: There will be some pilots you know [950.51] Tony: There's a whoop tent [953.51] Tony: So I'm pretty sure our friend [957.51] Tony: Fellow Flatter will be there [959.51] Tony: Drowne Junkie [962.51] Tony: So yeah, there in the picture [965.51] Tony: It's at Northwield [969.51] Tony: In Essex I think [972.51] Tony: Does it say anywhere? [974.51] Tony: I think it's at Northwield Airport [978.51] Tony: Yep [980.51] Tony: Yeah [981.51] Tony: But we went two years ago and it was [984.51] Tony: Absolutely boiling, so hot [988.51] Tony: But it was a really good, it was good [991.51] Tony: Really enjoyed it [993.51] Tony: Hopefully I can see someone down there [996.51] Tony: Are you going to go, Frank? [998.51] Frank: Yeah, assuming [1000.51] Frank: Hopefully by then we'll be able to get out and about and do some things [1004.51] Frank: You never know, I might have a car by then [1007.51] Tony: Well I'm going to be camping there with my new tent or my van [1011.51] Tony: So I'm going to be... [1013.51] Frank: Oh yeah [1015.51] Frank: Your foldy-outy [1017.51] Frank: Sleepy over the cliff [1019.51] Frank: Yeah, that one [1021.51] Tony: So yeah, it'd be nice if anyone goes to come and say hello [1026.51] Tony: Who's in the chat, that'd be cool to see people [1029.51] Curry: Yeah, I hope it'll be unlocked by then [1033.51] Curry: And safe and good [1035.51] Tony: Hopefully we'll all be safe and unlocked by then [1037.51] Tony: I'd hate that to be cancelled [1039.51] Tony: Because I missed going to loads of shows last year [1044.51] Tony: Because the year before, me and Danny Boy done [1048.51] Tony: I don't know how many shows [1050.51] Tony: I've done about five shows [1052.51] Frank: Yeah [1053.51] Tony: Which was really enjoyable [1055.51] Tony: Spending weekends with people who like the same sort of stuff as you [1061.51] Tony: Yeah, really good [1064.51] Tony: Once you've flown all day and been out in the sun all day [1068.51] Tony: And then just sitting around in the campfire drinking and chatting [1071.51] Tony: Brilliant [1072.51] Tony: Is there any note flying at Wington Wells? [1074.51] Tony: I think there is [1075.51] Tony: I think there is [1076.51] Tony: And if I can talk Martin into [1079.51] Tony: Let me have a go of his Thor [1081.51] Tony: Because he's got nice lights on [1083.51] Tony: What bottom of his? [1085.51] Tony: Have you seen them? [1087.51] Tony: They're very, very pretty [1089.51] Frank: They are pretty, aren't they? [1091.51] Frank: I'm trying to work out where he posted them so I can show people [1098.51] Tony: Probably in fossil stuff on Facebook [1102.51] Frank: It was in... [1103.51] Frank: I've just found it [1104.51] Frank: In X-Class UK [1107.51] Frank: Let's see if I can...

[1189.51] Tony: I missed out on that [1191.51] Tony: I missed out on them [1192.51] Tony: So yeah, it should be a good show [1194.51] Tony: So I'm looking forward to that [1195.51] Tony: But I haven't flown my X-Class in months [1197.51] Tony: So I need to get that off the wall [1199.51] Tony: And clean the cobwebs off [1202.51] Tony: And go and have a blast around the field [1204.51] Tony: Make sure it's still all right [1207.51] Frank: Yeah, do you check your fail safe? [1210.51] Tony: Yes, definitely need to do that [1214.51] Tony: Yeah [1216.51] Tony: Don't put any times [1218.51] Tony: Don't put any switched [1222.51] Frank: Yes, I'm looking forward to when Jack comes back [1225.51] Frank: And we can do the deep dive into that [1227.51] Frank: Air Action Investigation Bureau report [1230.51] Frank: And that will be entertaining to wind him up [1233.51] Frank: Going through all of that [1236.51] Frank: Fraser in the chat said [1238.51] Frank: Ask me what I was flying last weekend [1240.51] Frank: Because I did go flying [1241.51] Frank: You actually flew something for the first time in forever [1245.51] Frank: Yeah [1246.51] Frank: You'll never guess what I was flying [1248.51] Curry: Was it the vertical take off? [1251.51] Curry: No [1252.51] Curry: No [1253.51] Curry: It was [1254.51] Frank: DJI, Mavic Air [1256.51] Frank: Have a drink [1257.51] BlueOwl: Is there anyone else drinking with us? [1260.51] BlueOwl: People in the chat [1262.51] BlueOwl: Or is it just us straddling through it? [1264.51] BlueOwl: Probably just us [1265.51] Frank: I have to chat around and drink [1268.51] BlueOwl: So how was it Frank? [1270.51] Frank: I mean it was fine [1272.51] Frank: It gave me something to do [1274.51] Frank: It made use of it [1276.51] Frank: I bought it like two years ago [1278.51] Frank: And so I haven't flown it very much [1280.51] Frank: Because most of that was 2020 [1284.51] Frank: But yeah, so [1286.51] Frank: The one with Scrubs Field [1288.51] Frank: So the kind of [1289.51] Frank: It's next to the prison [1291.51] Frank: But it's specifically a model flying field [1293.51] Frank: So it's fine [1294.51] Frank: But it's also a wildlife field [1297.51] Frank: But that's where [1299.51] Frank: That's my local flying field [1301.51] Frank: This is like a two hour walk away [1303.51] Frank: Local [1304.51] Frank: But that's where [1307.51] Frank: It's being dug up [1309.51] Frank: Even though it's like a wildlife area [1310.51] Frank: It's being dug up for HS2 [1312.51] Frank: While they do some things [1314.51] Frank: And the local wildlife people [1317.51] Frank: Were like [1318.51] Frank: Can anyone take some photos [1321.51] Frank: Some aerial photos of the area [1323.51] Frank: As a kind of before and after [1325.51] Frank: And progress of the [1327.51] Frank: Ripping up all the trees [1330.51] Frank: So that they can kind of go back to HS2 [1332.51] Frank: At the end of it and go [1333.51] Frank: Put all these trees back [1336.51] Frank: So I went along and took the mavic out [1340.51] Frank: And went and took some photos [1344.51] Frank: Yeah, and sent them over [1346.51] Frank: But there was also [1348.51] Frank: Yeah, a few other things [1352.51] Frank: Being [1353.51] Frank: Going on on the field at the time [1356.51] Frank: There was a big icy [1359.51] Frank: Buggy [1360.51] Frank: And Fraser brought along a little [1363.51] Frank: Relatively small [1365.51] Frank: Electric buggy [1367.51] Frank: Radio control buggy [1369.51] Frank: And gave me [1371.51] Frank: A go on that [1373.51] Frank: And then I got challenged to a drag race [1377.51] Frank: By the IC [1379.51] Frank: By the IC buggy [1381.51] Frank: While there's like three mavics [1384.51] Frank: In the air [1385.51] Frank: And FPV-12 with an HD camera [1390.51] Frank: I don't think these were done [1393.51] Frank: By that particular Chinese company [1397.51] Frank: I think there were some similar things [1400.51] Frank: And there was a guy flying FPV-Quad [1403.51] Frank: With a GoPro on the front [1406.51] Frank: And chasing us [1407.51] Frank: And there was a load of GoPros on the floor [1409.51] Frank: So it's quite a bit of pressure here [1411.51] Frank: I'm like, what's going on? [1414.51] Frank: And yeah [1416.51] Frank: It took a couple of goes [1418.51] Frank: To kind of work out how this is all going [1421.51] Frank: But I learnt [1422.51] Frank: That there's a lot more power out of that electric buggy [1426.51] Frank: Than there was out of the big one [1428.51] Frank: So I could just match the speed [1431.51] Frank: And therefore not pop a wheelie [1433.51] Frank: And disappear off to the side [1437.51] Frank: When I hit a bump [1438.51] Frank: But yeah [1439.51] Frank: Could match the speed for a bit [1441.51] Frank: And then when it starts topping out [1443.51] Frank: Just open wide open throttle [1445.51] Frank: For the second half of the drag race [1447.51] Frank: And yeah [1448.51] Frank: It was good fun [1449.51] Frank: I enjoyed that [1450.51] Frank: So [1451.51] Frank: What a drag race [1453.51] Frank: Electric versus icy [1454.51] Curry: Where is all the amazing footage [1455.51] Curry: From the many many cameras that were filming this? [1458.51] Frank: That's where I've been asking [1459.51] Frank: I've been asking in the Wormwood Scrubs FPV group [1463.51] Frank: And everyone was like, no it wasn't me [1464.51] Frank: I don't know [1465.51] Frank: So it was just some people that were around [1468.51] Frank: I have to say [1469.51] Curry: When you say Wormwood Scrubs FPV group [1471.51] Curry: It just sounds like a cover story [1473.51] Curry: For getting drugs into the prison doesn't it? [1475.51] Tony: Yeah, whatever Frank [1478.51] Frank: Yeah, yeah [1479.51] Frank: They're pretty sure that [1483.51] Frank: At least someone's been flying like some balsa thing [1486.51] Frank: For the past 40 years [1487.51] Frank: And just dropping in whatever they order [1492.51] Tony: Because they've got phones and everything [1494.51] Tony: Mobile, stay in their socks [1497.51] Frank: How in their socks is that where they put them? [1499.51] Frank: Apparently [1501.51] Tony: I never searched there [1503.51] Tony: Make sure you bring your arsy trucks and buggies [1506.51] Tony: To wings and wheels as well [1509.51] Tony: i.e. wheels [1510.51] Tony: You know, we always muck about with them in the evenings [1514.51] Tony: When the flying is done [1516.51] Tony: I'll be able to charge mine [1518.51] Tony: Because I've got a monster truck [1519.51] Tony: I've got Vanessa's lunchbox [1520.51] Tony: Which I sprayed a luminous blue [1522.51] Tony: And I can charge it with a torch [1525.51] Tony: And then drive around with it glowing [1528.51] Tony: So [1529.51] Tony: That's a pretty good laugh [1531.51] Tony: Yeah, everyone takes their trucks and stuff down there [1535.51] Tony: So [1536.51] Tony: Lurkey, PM me later [1538.51] Tony: And I'll see if I can get you [1539.51] Tony: If you want to fly [1540.51] Tony: I can probably get you in [1541.51] Tony: If you let me just give me a PM later [1545.51] Tony: So yeah, I'm looking forward to that [1550.51] Frank: And then you also bring along your iNav Rover [1554.51] Frank: That you've been talking about for ages [1556.51] Frank: And set that going around laps of the track [1559.51] Tony: Hey, not me [1561.51] Tony: No, Lurkey [1562.51] Tony: Lurkey, yes, he could, that'd be good [1567.11] Tony: Blue Owl, you promised us that you would be flying [1571.11] Tony: I don't promise you [1573.11] Tony: I know I didn't promise [1575.11] Tony: I was already [1577.11] Tony: What's your excuse? [1578.11] BlueOwl: Well [1580.11] BlueOwl: It's the same over and over [1583.11] BlueOwl: There are some new restrictions [1585.11] BlueOwl: So since, what is it, I think Monday [1588.11] BlueOwl: We can't leave Prague [1590.11] BlueOwl: Which means we are stuck in the now fly zone [1594.11] BlueOwl: And that's going to be happening for the next three weeks [1597.11] BlueOwl: And I really wanted to go and fly [1600.11] Tony: Oh, man [1601.11] Tony: You'll just have to watch some more DJI [1604.11] BlueOwl: Yeah, exactly [1606.11] Tony: I'll help you choose [1608.11] Frank: Sorry, guys [1609.11] Frank: Have a drink [1610.11] Frank: Come on [1611.11] Frank: I hope someone is counting the number of shots that Tony needs to have [1615.11] Frank: I think he just needs to basically down an entire bottle of Jägermeister or something [1620.11] Tony: Oh, God [1621.11] Tony: Okay, next week [1623.11] Tony: I will have a drink next week [1625.11] Tony: On a Thursday [1627.11] Tony: Even I was supposed to be cutting down and promised everyone [1630.11] Tony: Well, I didn't promise anyone [1631.11] Tony: I was just saying I'm not going to drink anymore [1634.11] Tony: But [1636.11] Tony: I'll do it [1637.11] Tony: I'll do it for an off next week [1639.11] Tony: I'm not [1641.11] Frank: This episode was recorded in front of a live online audience [1644.11] Frank: Downloaded and edited to make sense when it's played audio only [1647.11] Frank: Censored to please the iTunes people hosted on the internet [1650.11] Frank: Forwarded through to your podcast provider [1652.11] Frank: Downloaded, playing on your device [1654.11] Frank: And is now playing in your ears [1656.11] Frank: All thanks to our Patreons [1658.11] Frank: Consider joining them and you'll also get other online benefits [1661.11] Frank: Find out more at patreon.com forward slash let's drone out [1666.11] Tony: Um, Kerry kitten, you've had a drone in your garden [1671.11] Curry: That's as exciting as it gets [1673.11] Curry: On the day that everybody else was releasing DJI videos [1677.11] Curry: I had a toy-grade 3-axis gimbal [1681.11] Curry: This is the quad I talked to you several weeks about [1684.11] Curry: Where it's got the amazing obstacle avoidance [1688.11] Curry: Where it's so good it refuses to go forward at all in my garden [1692.11] Curry: Because there's other houses around here [1696.11] Curry: It's not quite [1697.11] Curry: When you get a DJI [1699.11] Curry: Like a Mavic Air as Frank would though [1703.11] Curry: You can get within about 2 meters of something before it shows stuff [1707.11] Curry: With this it's about like 10 meters as far as I can think [1710.11] Curry: Because I took the sensor off to fly it round the room [1713.11] Curry: Only to find that the SD card didn't seem to want to record [1716.11] Curry: And this quick review [1718.11] Curry: Because it's just like a quick foldable toy card [1721.11] Curry: Just fly it round quickly and see what happens [1723.11] Curry: Took three extra days of me ponding around trying to make it record [1728.11] Tony: And I still have to take it out properly [1730.11] Tony: But it wasn't very exciting [1732.11] Tony: And it's very noisy as well [1735.11] Tony: My name's very happy [1738.11] Tony: What's the price point on it? [1741.11] Tony: About 150 quid [1743.11] Tony: That's not bad [1745.11] Tony: So about a battery [1747.11] Tony: I have a battery from a... [1749.11] Curry: I kind of think that to be sort of attractive to people that say [1755.11] Curry: I can't possibly afford a DJI [1758.11] Curry: So I have to get one of these [1759.11] Curry: It needs to be about 100 quid [1761.11] Curry: Because your DJI Mavic Mini is I think about 300 [1766.11] Curry: So it's about just sort of under half the price-ish I think [1773.11] Curry: Come on, drink, drink, drink [1776.11] BlueOwl: Seriously, I'm not a student anymore [1781.11] Curry: An old lady now [1784.11] BlueOwl: Come back on the beers [1786.11] BlueOwl: I may die, I need to wake up tomorrow morning [1793.11] Curry: But yeah, that wasn't super exciting [1795.11] Curry: But you know, I suppose it's better than nothing at all [1798.11] BlueOwl: But barely [1800.11] BlueOwl: Exactly, that's what I'm thinking [1802.11] BlueOwl: At least you got to fly [1804.11] BlueOwl: I should really fix the mini things [1809.11] BlueOwl: The tiny whoops and whatnot [1811.11] BlueOwl: And I have just sitting on my shelf here [1814.11] BlueOwl: Getting sad and dusty [1817.11] BlueOwl: Maybe I will [1818.11] BlueOwl: I just need a bit of motivation [1821.11] BlueOwl: It's always fun to fly the curry kittens same though [1826.11] Curry: Yes [1827.11] Curry: You haven't tried the game [1828.11] Curry: I made Frank try the game [1830.11] Tony: All I saw was lots of squaring [1832.11] Frank: It was like controlling the monitor [1834.11] Tony: Scrashed together [1837.11] Frank: I got to that last level after a lot of frustration [1842.11] Frank: And I had to give up on that last level [1845.11] Frank: Because otherwise something was going to break [1847.11] Frank: Whether it was me, the radio, the screen, all of the above [1852.11] Frank: I was [1854.11] Frank: No, I got to the end of my patience [1859.11] Frank: And then curry put up a screenshot of the leaderboard [1863.11] Frank: And I'm like 10 times as slow as his time [1868.11] Frank: And then he fixed it [1871.11] Frank: Which I think is very mean [1874.11] Curry: Well, no, what happened is Frank found an unintentional bug [1879.11] Curry: Whereas where I was working locally [1881.11] Curry: There's these public variables that I get to mess around with in the editor [1885.11] Curry: And I forgot that when they get carried through into the build [1889.11] Curry: They wouldn't be there [1890.11] Curry: So I changed up the original version [1893.11] Curry: Which gave him a little bit too much throttle versus gravity [1897.11] Curry: So I changed it all out [1899.11] Curry: So it's now, it's quite a weak quad [1902.11] Curry: But that means you've got a lot of throttle room [1905.11] Curry: Which means it's not too up and downy [1908.11] Curry: That's the technical term [1909.11] Frank: So you'll be able to control your throttle a lot easier [1912.11] Frank: Yeah, because I was [1914.11] Frank: To try and hover [1916.11] Frank: And just so precisely [1919.11] Frank: I felt like my heartbeat was making it move [1922.11] Frank: It was just having to hold my breath [1926.11] Frank: And just trying to stay reasonably still [1930.11] BlueOwl: I can't believe you missed this [1933.11] BlueOwl: I could see the frustration on the chat [1936.11] Frank: Oh yeah, the chat was getting mad [1939.11] Frank: Just having to put everything down and just message on the chat [1942.11] BlueOwl: Frank was having a bug, Pam [1945.11] Frank: While the time was still going [1947.11] BlueOwl: It's really funny who gets frustrated [1950.11] BlueOwl: And it gets everything [1952.11] BlueOwl: I've never get frustrated [1954.11] Curry: Whenever I've picked it in your hide and seek [1957.11] Curry: It's just you in some drunken rage [1960.11] Curry: Am I upside down? [1963.11] Curry: You don't know where it is [1966.11] Tony: It's because everyone hides on the map [1969.11] Tony: And it's like they're that big [1972.11] Curry: Let's not even talk about the infamous [1975.11] Curry: My battery's running out [1977.11] Curry: I now just gakotape over the speaker [1979.11] Curry: Until I can't hear it anymore [1982.11] Tony: And then ask people on Facebook [1985.11] Tony: Please send me a new battery [1988.11] Tony: Which I am [1990.11] Tony: My one seems to be dead [1992.11] Tony: For some reason, can't imagine why [1994.11] Tony: Thanks very much, Wim [1997.11] Tony: Bless him [1999.11] Tony: I've got a new battery and it's all okay now [2002.11] BlueOwl: Oh good, good [2004.11] BlueOwl: Because last time we had to [2006.11] BlueOwl: Join the forces with Tony [2008.11] BlueOwl: And I was flying [2010.11] BlueOwl: He was watching Tony telling me where to fly [2012.11] BlueOwl: Where to hide [2014.11] BlueOwl: Basically, he was the brain [2017.11] BlueOwl: I was the muscles [2018.11] Tony: That's it [2020.11] Tony: Surprisingly, it worked [2022.11] Tony: It worked, yes, I was surprised [2024.11] Tony: Actually, being the brain [2027.11] Frank: There was me going and checking all the corners [2030.11] Frank: But then I checked three of the sides [2032.11] Frank: And not the sides that you were hiding in the middle of [2038.11] Frank: Take like half an hour trying to find you [2041.11] BlueOwl: Yeah, that's a good challenge actually [2044.11] BlueOwl: For flying the sim, getting Frank frustrated [2047.11] BlueOwl: Getting him to the point where he just [2051.11] Frank: Turns out it's not such a difficult thing to do [2057.11] Tony: Yeah, calm and placid, Frank [2059.11] Tony: No more [2061.11] Frank: Yeah, my tactic ended up being [2064.11] Frank: On trying to do the quad ball game [2067.11] Frank: Which was just like [2069.11] Frank: Sort of flying generally [2071.11] Frank: In the direction I wanted it to go [2073.11] Frank: And then just cutting the throttle [2074.11] Frank: So I just land on the ball [2075.11] Frank: And kind of ping it [2077.11] Frank: Into the general direction that I wanted it to go [2079.11] Frank: And that seems to be the only way of doing it [2082.11] Frank: So I was just doing that a lot [2085.11] Frank: Just trying to get it off the side [2088.11] Frank: Restart again [2089.11] Frank: Off the side [2090.11] Frank: Restart again [2091.11] Frank: It was not fun [2094.11] Curry: I'm just finishing off the rate thing [2098.11] Curry: Where you can now visualize the rates [2100.11] Curry: And you've got individual sliders [2101.11] Curry: And you've got the nice curves [2103.11] Curry: And you can look at how quickly it goes [2105.11] Curry: As soon as I do that, I'm going to add the last bits [2108.11] Curry: Into the game [2109.11] Curry: One of which will be the [2112.11] Curry: The facility to press escape and pause it [2116.11] Curry: And we should all go on stream [2118.11] Curry: Take it in turns to do a level [2120.11] Curry: And we can all look at how different people do it [2123.11] Curry: Because there's a certain amount of dropping down [2126.11] Curry: And watching you do [2127.11] Curry: But the problem is, if you drop on the ball [2131.11] Curry: Now I've altered the gravity and stuff a little bit [2134.11] Curry: I've noticed you can make a backspin if you want to [2138.11] Curry: So you can drop on it [2139.11] Curry: And you can make it come back [2140.11] Curry: And you can put little sides [2143.11] Curry: All these little side things [2144.11] Frank: This only increases my anxiety [2148.11] Frank: That like, NJ will immediately go on this [2151.11] Frank: And just like get, you know [2154.11] Frank: Where we're doing it in like a few minutes [2156.11] Frank: I'm sure he'll be like seconds later [2158.11] Frank: He's just got it through the goal [2160.11] Frank: And it'll be done [2161.11] Frank: I feel like this is built for NJ [2164.11] Tony: Maybe we should have a [2166.11] Tony: Let's run out [2168.11] Tony: Top ten [2170.11] BlueOwl: Yeah, we could [2171.11] BlueOwl: I feel like I'm gonna be [2173.11] BlueOwl: If there are nine contestants [2175.11] BlueOwl: I'll be the tenth [2177.11] BlueOwl: I'll be the last one [2179.11] BlueOwl: I'm gonna cycle this [2181.11] Frank: I think that was another thing I was trying to deal with [2184.11] Frank: Was like not only [2186.11] Frank: Going back to low angle [2187.11] Frank: But basically going back to no angle [2189.11] Frank: Because I watched Kerry's video [2190.11] Frank: And he said you should fly at basically zero angle [2195.11] Frank: And yeah, it's like [2196.11] Frank: Ah, it's not flying how I expect [2199.11] Tony: No, not after you've been flying every weekend [2201.11] Tony: At 79 degrees or whatever it is, 65 [2204.11] Frank: Yeah [2206.11] Curry: It's different [2207.11] Curry: It's like [2208.11] Curry: It's not [2209.11] Curry: Yes, you're using the sort of [2212.11] Curry: Some of the skills you would use [2214.11] Curry: But don't think of it as flying [2216.11] Curry: Think of it as a game built around [2218.11] Curry: How we fly a bit [2220.11] Curry: Essentially [2222.11] Curry: But I think if it's [2223.11] Frank: I mean, I haven't tried it since you've rebalanced the thrust and gravity [2226.11] Frank: But if it's [2228.11] Frank: A little bit less on the [2230.11] Frank: Frustration inducing side [2232.11] Frank: Then I [2234.11] Frank: Can imagine it being [2236.11] Frank: You know [2237.11] Frank: Something that would at least [2239.11] Frank: Work on your throttle control [2241.11] Frank: And yeah, fine [2243.11] Frank: Yeah, you can definitely work on the thrust [2245.11] Curry: I mean, that's the one for you to work on, Frank [2247.11] Curry: Because it's like [2248.11] Curry: My time, 11 seconds [2250.11] Curry: Your time, 15 and a half minutes [2253.11] Curry: What's going on for you there? [2255.11] BlueOwl: What? [2257.11] Frank: This [2258.11] Frank: That was [2259.11] Frank: Is that the one with the two levels? [2261.11] Frank: Like where there's a ramp up [2263.11] Frank: And then there's a [2264.11] Frank: Like a mezzanine bit [2265.11] Frank: That was the little [2266.11] Curry: Other ramp [2267.11] Curry: I turned that down [2268.11] Curry: Originally it was quite steep [2270.11] Curry: And I thought that's a bit hard [2271.11] Curry: And it was a single slope [2273.11] Curry: And I thought that's a bit hard [2274.11] Curry: I make it little slope [2275.11] Curry: Straight, little slope [2276.11] Curry: Straight [2277.11] Curry: Which obviously [2278.11] Curry: Caused some issues for you [2280.11] Curry: I understand [2282.11] Frank: So it took me like [2283.11] Frank: 8 minutes to get it up [2284.11] Frank: The first one [2285.11] Frank: And then after that [2286.11] Frank: As soon as I [2287.11] Frank: When that was like [2288.11] Frank: To get it up [2289.11] Frank: And keep it up [2290.11] Frank: On that first level [2291.11] Frank: And then [2292.11] Frank: You know [2293.11] Frank: I try and get it up [2294.11] Frank: The second one [2295.11] Frank: And it immediately [2296.11] Frank: Just rolls back down [2297.11] Frank: The first one [2298.11] Frank: Oh, no [2299.11] Frank: I can't [2300.11] Frank: Take this anymore [2302.11] Tony: You should livestream that [2304.11] Frank: Yeah [2305.11] Frank: I was thinking that [2306.11] Frank: This would be [2308.11] Frank: Good content [2309.11] Frank: But on the other hand [2311.11] Frank: I cannot take it [2313.11] Frank: I think if there were [2314.11] Frank: People watching me right now [2316.11] Frank: I wouldn't cope [2318.11] Frank: I wouldn't be able to [2319.11] Frank: Handle that [2320.11] Tony: Well I for one [2321.11] Tony: Want to see that [2323.11] Frank: Yeah [2324.11] Frank: Especially if people [2325.11] Frank: Could actually say things [2326.11] Frank: To me [2327.11] Frank: I would definitely [2328.11] Frank: Be breaking things [2332.11] BlueOwl: To me that means [2333.11] BlueOwl: Good content so [2334.11] BlueOwl: I think [2335.11] Frank: I know [2336.11] Frank: I know [2337.11] Curry: That's the thing [2338.11] Curry: We have to [2339.11] Curry: We'll have to go together [2340.11] Curry: I haven't made it a multiplayer [2341.11] Curry: But everybody can [2342.11] Curry: If we can pause the game [2343.11] Curry: It's like [2344.11] Curry: Do a level [2345.11] Curry: Next person does a level [2346.11] Curry: Next person does a level [2347.11] Frank: Yeah [2348.11] Curry: Do the different techniques [2350.11] Curry: And just really see what happens [2352.11] Curry: Because I'm interested to see [2354.11] Curry: What going on [2355.11] Curry: What about tag mode [2356.11] Curry: One causes it [2357.11] Curry: And the others are planes [2359.11] Curry: Once someone catches it [2360.11] Curry: Everyone gets a round of spools [2361.11] Curry: For the next round [2363.11] Tony: That would be quite good [2365.11] Curry: We tried kind of playing [2368.11] Curry: What were we trying to do [2369.11] Curry: Frank [2370.11] Curry: It was me, you, Jack [2371.11] Curry: And was it you as well, Tony [2372.11] Curry: I can't remember [2373.11] Curry: Somebody was trying to [2374.11] Curry: Land a plane on the roof [2375.11] Curry: Oh yeah [2376.11] Curry: And other people were [2377.11] Curry: Knocking with quads or something [2378.11] Curry: Yep [2379.11] Frank: Yeah [2380.11] Frank: That was [2381.11] Frank: I was landing a plane [2382.11] Frank: On a roof [2383.11] Frank: And everyone else [2384.11] Frank: Taken me out [2385.11] Frank: I remember that [2386.11] Frank: I remember doing that [2387.11] Frank: That was quite entertaining [2388.11] Frank: Because yeah [2389.11] Frank: We were trying to do [2390.11] Frank: A kind of [2391.11] Frank: Streamer [2392.11] Frank: Chasing [2393.11] Frank: Kind of thing [2394.11] Frank: But when you [2395.11] Frank: Can't cut the streamer [2397.11] Curry: No [2399.11] Frank: But we could do that [2401.11] Tony: Yeah [2402.11] BlueOwl: That's an idea [2405.11] Tony: Has [2406.11] Tony: Did anyone see [2407.11] Tony: Gary Kent flying in [2410.11] Tony: I presume it was [2411.11] Tony: His house [2413.11] Tony: With a micro [2415.11] Tony: Have you seen it, Frank? [2416.11] Frank: I haven't seen it [2417.11] Frank: But I [2419.11] Frank: I mean knowing [2420.11] Frank: Gary Kent's [2421.11] Frank: Like [2422.11] Frank: I mean I haven't seen Gary Kent [2423.11] Frank: Fly for [2425.11] Frank: A couple of years but [2427.11] Frank: I can imagine that [2428.11] Frank: He's not been sitting on his ass [2429.11] Frank: In that time [2430.11] Tony: No, he's [2433.11] Tony: Yeah [2434.11] Tony: It was just mind blowing [2436.11] Tony: I couldn't keep up [2438.11] Tony: Amazing [2439.11] Tony: I think it's a 4S micro [2442.11] Tony: Frank wrote me on that [2444.11] Tony: But he was [2445.11] Tony: It was so fast [2446.11] Tony: And it's just brilliant [2448.11] Curry: Sounds mental to fly [2449.11] Curry: Anything with 4S inside [2450.11] Curry: A house doesn't it [2452.11] Tony: It's like [2453.11] Tony: You [2455.11] Tony: He's done it from the point of the quads [2457.11] Tony: Just [2458.11] Tony: And then you see it from [2460.11] Tony: A different angle [2461.11] Tony: Of it shooting down the stairs [2462.11] Tony: And under something [2463.11] Tony: And it just goes [2465.11] Tony: It's gone [2466.11] Tony: It's just absolutely incredible [2468.11] Tony: Really good [2470.11] Tony: If you haven't seen it [2471.11] Tony: Go and check Gary Kent's video [2473.11] Tony: It's on Facebook somewhere [2474.11] Tony: I'm sure it's under his name [2476.11] Tony: Or something like that [2477.11] Tony: Oh, you woke up, have you? [2480.11] Tony: You all right? [2482.11] Tony: Yeah, so go and check that out [2484.11] Tony: It's bloody [2486.11] Tony: Bloody brilliant [2488.11] Tony: Some say hello then [2490.11] Tony: Oh, I just woke up [2493.11] Tony: Hey DJI [2498.11] Tony: You want to get up there [2501.1] Tony: And show your bum off, didn't you? [2503.1] Curry: So let's go back to DJI again [2505.1] Curry: Because the goggle thing [2507.1] Curry: Is real [2508.1] Curry: I talked to Rob [2509.1] Curry: Who was on the show [2511.1] Curry: A while ago [2513.1] Curry: He bought some V2 goggles [2516.1] Curry: For some reason [2517.1] Curry: Even though he's got V1s [2518.1] Curry: He hasn't bought the quad [2519.1] Curry: Even though I still do [2520.1] Curry: This meets your criteria, doesn't it? [2522.1] Curry: Because you don't own one [2523.1] Curry: And it exists [2524.1] Curry: Surely you bought it by now [2525.1] Curry: But all he wanted to do is activate his goggles [2529.1] Curry: And I always find that interesting [2531.1] Curry: It's like you can't watch this TV [2532.1] Curry: So it hasn't been activated yet [2534.1] Curry: That sort of thing [2535.1] Curry: But first he didn't have the right cable [2538.1] Curry: Because you can't do it on a computer now [2539.1] Curry: And you have to use a phone [2542.1] Curry: And he had to like order an OTG cable [2544.1] Curry: With the right thing [2545.1] Curry: And then when he tried to do it [2547.1] Curry: It wouldn't work [2548.1] Curry: So he called DJI support [2551.1] Curry: Who told him [2553.1] Curry: This can't be fixed [2555.1] Curry: You'll have to return it under warranty [2558.1] Curry: And of course there's no stock [2561.1] Curry: And he doesn't want to send it off [2563.1] Curry: And not have it for the problems [2564.1] Curry: Only for them to then release [2566.1] Curry: What needs to be... [2567.1] Curry: V3 [2568.1] Curry: That's a good point [2569.1] Curry: Yeah, or the V3 [2570.1] Curry: But it sounds like it's going to be a software fix, doesn't it? [2573.1] Curry: But they're saying send it back [2576.1] Curry: It's faulty [2577.1] Curry: But what they're going to do is send another one [2578.1] Curry: And he's trying to activate it [2579.1] Curry: And the same thing will happen [2581.1] Frank: I don't know [2583.1] Frank: Maybe... [2585.1] Frank: That is weird [2586.1] Frank: I wonder what could you not fix [2589.1] Frank: By just rolling out an update [2591.1] Frank: I mean maybe [2592.1] Frank: Has it got like some weird encryption chip on it [2595.1] Frank: That they've got to like read stuff off of it [2597.1] Frank: To do something with [2599.1] Frank: I don't know [2600.1] Curry: I think what generally happens in all these circumstances [2603.1] Curry: A similar thing happened to me with support [2606.1] Curry: I bought a Samsung gaming monitor [2608.1] Curry: To replace the big TV that I used to just here [2611.1] Frank: There you go [2612.1] Frank: Seb's got an answer [2614.1] Frank: Click from the bottom [2615.1] Frank: If you can't activate, you can't update [2619.1] Curry: Oh, that's bad [2621.1] Curry: I thought there's always some way of getting into [2625.1] Curry: The sort of base function [2627.1] Curry: You'd think [2628.1] Frank: You'd hope there was a way of flashing it [2631.1] Curry: But what we thought [2632.1] Curry: It was just like a support thing [2633.1] Curry: Because my monitor kept sort of falling forward [2637.1] Curry: On its tilt stand [2638.1] Curry: And after talking to Samsung support [2640.1] Curry: They said this is a fault [2641.1] Curry: You're going to have to send it back [2642.1] Curry: I was like really? [2643.1] Curry: It's just the plastic tilt thing [2645.1] Curry: Is there nothing I could do [2646.1] Curry: No, it's a faulty product [2648.1] Curry: Send it back [2649.1] Curry: And took it apart [2650.1] Curry: And it's like screw [2651.1] Curry: Tighten that up [2652.1] Curry: And it was fine [2653.1] Curry: And I thought it was DJI [2655.1] Curry: Support people [2656.1] Curry: Kind of being like the plebs at the front office [2659.1] Curry: Saying don't know how to fix this [2661.1] Curry: Send it back [2662.1] Curry: We'll have to return it [2664.1] Curry: And if it really is [2667.1] Curry: That you can't update it [2668.1] Curry: If you can't activate it [2669.1] Curry: Then he's screwed [2672.1] Curry: But I can't [2673.1] Curry: I can't still believe that you need to activate goggles [2675.1] Tony: Yeah [2676.1] Curry: It's just so stupid [2679.1] Tony: So they've done it all the time [2681.1] Curry: Says the man with DJI goggles [2685.73] Tony: I do love them though [2687.73] Tony: Once you've gone [2691.01] Tony: Once you've seen that grass [2692.01] Tony: Oh you can't go back [2695.01] Frank: Once you've counted the blades of grass [2698.01] Tony: Oh yeah the blades of grass [2699.01] Tony: Bloody brilliant [2701.01] Frank: We'll see how that kind of continues I guess [2705.01] Frank: On the one hand [2706.01] Frank: Maybe the increased demand [2709.01] Frank: With all these kind of camera drone people [2713.01] Frank: Wanting to get goggles means that [2715.01] Frank: Those will continue going up in price [2718.01] Frank: But on the other hand [2719.01] Frank: Maybe they'll smash their FPV drones into a million pieces [2724.01] Frank: And there'll be a load of spare secondhand goggles on the market [2729.01] Curry: Sheldon is at home doing this [2731.01] Curry: He's just dancing around [2733.01] Curry: He's going to be so rich [2734.01] Curry: All these things to fix [2738.01] BlueOwl: I'm just [2739.01] BlueOwl: I'm going to be a little bit negative for a little while [2743.01] BlueOwl: For you [2744.01] BlueOwl: But I was just wondering [2746.01] BlueOwl: Because now it's going to be so accessible for everybody [2749.01] BlueOwl: People who have no idea about FPV and flying [2753.01] BlueOwl: I'm slightly afraid [2754.01] BlueOwl: And I'm [2755.01] BlueOwl: I don't know [2756.01] BlueOwl: Tell me if it's just me [2757.01] BlueOwl: I'm afraid if [2758.01] BlueOwl: You know [2759.01] BlueOwl: Many accidents happen [2761.01] BlueOwl: If this is going to affect [2764.01] BlueOwl: The law even more [2766.01] BlueOwl: If there's going to be more restrictions because of this [2769.01] BlueOwl: Because yeah [2770.01] BlueOwl: People will keep buying these [2772.01] BlueOwl: You know [2773.01] BlueOwl: FPV [2775.01] BlueOwl: DJI drones [2777.01] BlueOwl: It's our prank [2781.01] BlueOwl: Just because they can [2782.01] BlueOwl: You know [2783.01] BlueOwl: Just because it's exciting [2784.01] BlueOwl: And it's new [2785.01] BlueOwl: And yeah [2786.01] BlueOwl: They're not people who know how to fly [2789.01] BlueOwl: They know [2790.01] BlueOwl: They know how to fly Mavic [2791.01] BlueOwl: They know how to press a button to take off [2793.01] BlueOwl: And I know that [2795.01] Tony: They've got a break button [2797.01] Tony: You know [2799.01] BlueOwl: It is [2800.01] BlueOwl: Yeah, there's a stop and hover [2801.01] BlueOwl: On the switch [2803.01] BlueOwl: Yeah [2804.01] BlueOwl: Very clever [2805.01] BlueOwl: And I think I told you [2806.01] BlueOwl: It's also kind of [2807.01] BlueOwl: Lame [2808.01] BlueOwl: It's just my personal opinion [2810.01] UNKNOWN: It's like [2811.01] BlueOwl: Acro [2812.01] BlueOwl: Who needs a [2813.01] BlueOwl: You know [2814.01] BlueOwl: Stop and hover on the switch [2815.01] BlueOwl: But I don't think it's going to save anyone from crashing really [2819.01] BlueOwl: Because you still need this [2820.01] BlueOwl: Reflect [2821.01] BlueOwl: This [2822.01] BlueOwl: How do you call it? [2823.01] BlueOwl: Reflex [2824.01] BlueOwl: That's you know [2825.01] BlueOwl: The reaction to actually [2826.01] Tony: Reflexes [2827.01] Tony: Yeah [2828.01] BlueOwl: Yeah [2829.01] BlueOwl: So I don't know [2830.01] BlueOwl: I'm just a little bit afraid [2831.01] BlueOwl: It's going to happen [2832.01] BlueOwl: It's going to be different [2833.01] Curry: I know you might be right [2834.01] Curry: It's hard to imagine like [2838.01] Curry: It can get any more negative as far as the press goes [2841.01] Curry: I mean one decent thing about them is [2844.01] Curry: It looked really hard to get it into proper manual mode [2847.01] Curry: Even when you're in manual mode [2849.01] Curry: It's like you have to go through multiple menus [2852.01] Curry: And then it only gives you this toned down manual mode [2855.01] Curry: Where you can't [2856.01] Curry: It will only go to this far [2857.01] Curry: You can't do a loop [2858.01] Curry: Or a roll until you go into the menus in the goggles [2861.01] Curry: And say yeah really [2862.01] Curry: Really manual mode [2863.01] Curry: Honest [2864.01] Frank: I really know what I'm doing [2865.01] Frank: And then you [2866.01] Curry: Then you have to hold the sticks in certain position [2869.01] Curry: Like it comes up in this little template [2871.01] Curry: And you have to hold the sticks there for like five seconds [2873.01] Curry: To prove that you really want this mode [2876.01] Curry: Okay [2877.01] Tony: I think you've got to unscrew [2879.01] Tony: You know because the throttle is centered isn't it? [2882.01] BlueOwl: Yeah I was wondering about that too [2884.01] Tony: You've got to unscrew a screw on the back [2887.01] Tony: And it will loosen up the throttle stick [2890.01] Tony: Farthest thing is going to fly his with it [2893.01] Tony: Doesn't mean that by default [2895.01] BlueOwl: It's basically going to be a Mavic [2898.01] BlueOwl: With just a different form [2902.01] Curry: Mavic but with a much shinier camera [2904.01] Curry: And no gimbal [2905.01] Curry: Yeah [2907.01] Curry: The basic [2909.01] Curry: I think they've called it normal mode haven't they? [2911.01] Curry: Where it literally is like a sort of Mavic thing [2915.01] Curry: Except they've tuned it so literally [2921.01] Curry: The throttle stick is out of tune [2923.01] Curry: And pushing forward goes forward [2925.01] Curry: And your complete steering is via the yaw stick [2929.01] Curry: And it will apparently on normal mode [2932.01] Curry: It will just put in a little bit of a coordinated turn [2936.01] Curry: In that [2937.01] Curry: And when you go to sport mode [2938.01] Curry: It puts in more of a coordinated turn [2940.01] Curry: But you just use your steering on the yaw stick [2942.01] Curry: And it's putting these nice coordinated turns in for you [2944.01] Curry: So it feels more swishy [2946.01] Curry: But it's still like let go and it just stops and hovers [2950.01] Curry: And it's got like full return to home and stuff [2952.01] Curry: So as long as nobody tries to get like [2955.01] Curry: Oh this FPV stuff looks easy [2957.01] Curry: Let's give it a go and see what happens [2959.01] Curry: I don't think [2960.01] Curry: They'll either like get the hang of it [2962.01] Curry: Or they'll break it really quickly [2964.01] Curry: So [2965.01] Tony: Well I think it's the latter from the pictures that I've been seeing [2970.01] BlueOwl: Is it just FPV pilots breaking it though? [2974.01] BlueOwl: No [2975.01] Tony: It doesn't even look like many FPV pilots are buying it [2978.01] Tony: It just looks like people who want to fly FPV [2982.01] Tony: Who've been flying Mavics and stuff [2984.01] Curry: I thought all the initial branding videos were coming from like [2988.01] Curry: Like reviewer type people that DJI have sent it off to [2991.01] Curry: And by that [2992.01] Curry: Actually they are sending it to sort of [2994.01] Curry: You know the sort of big vloggers as opposed to sort of FPV people [2999.01] Curry: A few sort of very big channels have got it [3003.01] Curry: But I've seen lots of sort of vloggers get it [3005.01] Curry: Because they get all the sort of things like that [3008.01] Curry: But [3010.01] Curry: Yeah [3011.01] Curry: The only sort of crash pictures I've seen have been on Facebook [3014.01] Curry: I haven't seen the context of like more videos about it [3017.01] Curry: I would love to see [3019.01] Curry: Some people were like [3020.01] Curry: Oh I'll give this manual thing a go and see what happens on their first attempt [3024.01] Curry: That would be fun [3026.01] BlueOwl: But what I found interesting is that [3029.01] BlueOwl: I work with a lot of people who have no idea about FPV [3032.01] BlueOwl: Maybe they heard about it but they are more into commercial drones [3036.01] BlueOwl: And they of course they heard about the big release this week [3042.01] BlueOwl: And they were stunned [3045.01] BlueOwl: They were like super excited [3047.01] BlueOwl: And they would tell me [3048.01] BlueOwl: Have you seen this new FPV drone because they knew I was into FPV [3052.01] BlueOwl: So I think the marketing is working [3056.01] BlueOwl: I mean it looks exciting to people [3059.01] BlueOwl: Even in drone industry [3061.01] BlueOwl: People who you know don't fly FPV [3063.01] BlueOwl: Because of course we're going to just keep finding the little details that don't work [3068.01] BlueOwl: You know this is expensive [3070.01] BlueOwl: This is you know not working super well [3073.01] BlueOwl: That's difficult, that's stupid [3075.01] BlueOwl: But people find it really cool [3077.01] BlueOwl: And people were talking about it a lot [3081.01] Tony: All the video was shot on it [3084.01] Tony: Or did they get an FPV [3088.01] Frank: Good question [3089.01] Curry: No I think it was all shot on it because it looked a bit shaky [3092.01] Curry: If you go back and look at it carefully [3095.01] Curry: You'll see it's cut very quickly together [3098.01] Curry: So there's not a sort of big flowing scene [3102.01] Curry: It's all like go go go go [3105.01] Curry: So you don't really have time to focus on it [3107.01] Tony: Yeah [3111.01] Tony: It did look brilliant [3112.01] Curry: Hang on [3113.01] Curry: Robin is saying that the one most shared were reviews but beginner [3119.01] Curry: The one being most shared were reviewers but beginner FPV [3122.01] Curry: They smashed it immediately [3123.01] Curry: Even damaging the SD card so they got no footage of it [3126.01] Curry: That's brilliant [3127.01] Curry: You can actually smash up the SD card [3130.01] Curry: It's like go right in there [3133.01] Tony: Talking of smash [3135.01] Tony: Smash the light [3137.01] Tony: Smash the light [3138.01] Tony: Don't you slide up [3141.01] BlueOwl: Yeah to be fair I think it's very clever actually [3144.01] BlueOwl: Because this was the part of the market that was not covered by anybody else [3148.01] BlueOwl: And it's so hard to get into FPV [3151.01] BlueOwl: There's so much to learn [3152.01] BlueOwl: It's like learning a new difficult language [3156.01] BlueOwl: First you need to go through this phase where you can't really do anything [3159.01] BlueOwl: You can't really fly [3161.01] BlueOwl: You have to learn how to build, how to set things up [3165.01] BlueOwl: How to properly safely take off and land [3168.01] BlueOwl: And only after that, after many months of practice [3173.01] BlueOwl: There is this fun bit [3174.01] BlueOwl: And here, yeah, I think this is a lot more accessible [3178.01] BlueOwl: Maybe that was the goal [3181.01] Frank: Yeah [3182.01] Frank: I think also because there has been a lot more FPV footage used in not only the kind of drift stuff [3191.01] Frank: And top gear and things like that [3193.01] Frank: But even in like movies and Netflix series and things like that [3197.01] Frank: There's been FPV footage turning up here and there [3201.01] Frank: So you can kind of imagine that that's becoming something that these commercial people [3206.01] Frank: That maybe have a fleet of matrix, matrices, however you would say [3212.01] Tony: What is the plot of the matrix? [3214.01] Frank: Yeah, Matrice [3215.01] Frank: What? [3216.01] Tony: Mouse's fleet? [3219.01] Frank: Them and Phantoms and Mavics and everything else [3224.01] Frank: This then gives them the ability to cover that bit as well [3229.01] Frank: Rather than going to Tony and saying, do you mind doing this bit? [3236.01] Frank: We'll kind of see, I guess [3240.01] Frank: I'm much more excited about the Insta360 One [3243.01] Frank: I think they've got the Insta360 Go V2 [3250.01] Frank: Which looks very small [3253.01] Frank: And I'm wondering if that might become more of a [3258.01] Frank: Maybe a bit of a session replacement [3260.01] Frank: Just kind of looking at the tiny, tiny little glimpse of it [3263.01] Frank: You can see it's kind of a bit of a square front [3268.01] Curry: When's the release on that? [3270.01] Curry: I haven't seen any glimpses [3272.01] Tony: I've seen something in a hand [3274.01] Tony: It looks really small if that's the one we're talking about [3277.01] Frank: Yeah, exactly, exactly, that is the one [3280.01] Tony: It just depends if it's [3282.01] Tony: You know, it's going to have to have some kind of hyper smoothie type thing on it [3286.01] Tony: And recording [3288.01] Tony: And not cut out after five minutes or whatever like the other one [3292.01] Tony: Could only do five minutes, couldn't it? [3294.01] Tony: And then it got really hot and stuff like that [3298.01] Frank: It's March the 9th [3300.01] Frank: It's coming out [3302.01] Frank: That's not long [3304.01] Frank: Not long to wait [3306.01] Tony: No [3307.01] Tony: We can talk about that [3308.01] Tony: Is anyone going to buy one, do you think? [3310.01] Tony: How expensive was the other one? [3312.01] Tony: Are they quite dear? [3314.01] Frank: I don't know actually [3316.01] Frank: The Insta360 Go [3319.01] Frank: I thought you had an Insta360 Go, didn't you Tom? [3321.01] Frank: Or did you not? [3323.01] Curry: No [3324.01] Curry: Oh, you just thought about it [3326.01] Tony: I was going to get one but I know I did [3328.01] Frank: Originally, RRP, £190 [3332.01] Frank: Currently now about £150 [3336.01] Frank: For the Insta360 Go [3338.01] Frank: So we'll see what this new one is [3341.01] Frank: It's going to come out like [3343.01] Frank: Yeah [3346.7] Tony: It might be good to get something like that [3348.7] Tony: I was thinking about getting something small like that [3351.7] Tony: So I can put it in different places on my bike [3353.7] Tony: When I'm mountain biking as well [3356.7] Tony: Because there's obviously loads of places you can put it on [3359.7] Tony: If it's that small, under the saddle, looking backwards, forwards [3363.7] Tony: Pedaling, suspension, going up and down [3366.7] Tony: Don't chase footage, etc [3373.7] Tony: My chain snapped last weekend [3376.7] Tony: I went out last Friday and my chain snapped [3379.7] Tony: I was only a mile into my ride [3381.7] Tony: Thank God I wasn't right in the middle of the forest [3385.7] Tony: I had to push it back [3387.7] Tony: I've just got a bill for the parts I needed [3390.7] Tony: It was £250 [3392.7] Tony: Something's wrong there [3394.7] Tony: Chains are... [3396.7] Tony: They're not that much [3398.7] Tony: It's two years of wear on my bike now [3401.7] Tony: I've probably done 1500 miles on it [3404.7] Tony: I've got cold sprockets to change [3406.7] Tony: Brake pads, chain, everything [3411.7] Tony: I've worn it out [3414.7] Tony: You're supposed to do bits in between [3418.7] Tony: I rode it until it broke [3422.7] Tony: I have a little of bills [3424.7] Tony: But I rode it until it broke [3426.7] Tony: That's what I'm going to do [3428.7] Curry: It's interesting that Insta seemed to be doing more [3432.7] Curry: For FPV than GoPro [3434.7] Curry: Who's seemed to have completely lost interest in the idea [3437.7] Curry: They don't care about us, they never have [3439.7] Curry: So hopefully, Insta's going to carry on [3442.7] Curry: Yes [3443.7] Frank: I'm reasonably certain that drone is a curse word in GoPro [3448.7] Frank: Since the karma [3450.7] Frank: It doesn't quite go to plan [3452.7] Curry: There's an ironic name behind that karma [3458.7] Tony: Have you two still got any drink left? [3460.7] Tony: DJI, DJI, DJI [3463.7] Curry: Not anymore [3466.7] Curry: You're telling me like a pint's worth [3468.7] Curry: Get it down, yeah [3469.7] Tony: Well, that was one [3471.7] Tony: I gave you three DJI's then [3473.7] Tony: And a fourth [3476.7] Tony: Hope you're all drinking at home [3478.7] Curry: I'm on my second diet, Cag, this is hard for me [3483.7] BlueOwl: Don't get wasted [3485.7] BlueOwl: Be careful [3486.7] Curry: It happened [3487.7] Curry: You go crazy [3488.7] Curry: So anybody got any good plans coming up for the next week? [3491.7] Curry: Is there any more flying happening? [3493.7] Curry: Blue House is obviously going to set up a tiny wood course by the house [3497.7] BlueOwl: I'm just going to cry if you keep asking about it [3502.7] BlueOwl: Because I assume that's as good as it gets these days [3507.7] Frank: Yeah, we're going to have to do Carrie's new quad ball levels [3514.7] Curry: Yeah [3515.7] Curry: I'll try and get it sorted in the next couple of days [3517.7] Curry: So at least we get a pause screen so we can do something kind of together [3522.7] Curry: That would be good [3523.7] Curry: At least individualise your rates [3525.7] Curry: Right, I say now [3527.7] Curry: Only on my desktop, not for anybody else [3529.7] Curry: But it'll be coming [3531.7] Frank: Coming soon to a steam store near you [3534.7] Frank: Yes, indeed [3537.7] Tony: You might be allowed out of Prague in June [3541.7] Tony: And you can come and see us at the RC show [3544.7] BlueOwl: Well, I honestly hope so [3546.7] BlueOwl: If it keeps going like this until June [3549.7] BlueOwl: I may go crazy by then [3552.7] BlueOwl: I hope so [3553.7] BlueOwl: We'll see [3554.7] BlueOwl: I might have some work travel before that [3557.7] BlueOwl: So I may be allowed to leave at some point [3561.7] BlueOwl: It's nothing confirmed yet, but we'll see [3564.7] Frank: That'd be nice [3566.7] BlueOwl: I don't think so [3567.7] Frank: We'll have to get you up to the towers at some point [3570.7] BlueOwl: Yeah, no, before... [3572.7] BlueOwl: I don't know if they're planning to put them down [3579.7] Tony: It was rumours [3581.7] Frank: Yeah, I think that was pre-2020 [3584.7] Frank: Those rumours were happening [3586.7] Frank: I can't imagine they're quite as keen to do anything anymore [3589.7] Frank: I imagine that's probably been knocked back a few years [3592.7] Frank: So that's a positive thing about the world ranging [3598.7] Curry: Well, I wish that happened on my end of things [3600.7] Curry: That's the only thing that's carried on round here [3602.7] Curry: Is the builders that invaded my field [3605.7] Curry: Carried on and now there's a road [3607.7] Curry: Where you guys came at that time [3610.7] Curry: Where there was still like the forest and the trees and stuff [3613.7] Curry: It was the road and the houses [3615.7] Curry: And I'm not sure if the field I was using is still there [3618.7] Curry: Because that was on the outskirts [3621.7] Curry: When I could eventually walk out, I'll have to check if it's actually there anymore [3624.7] Tony: Well, when I flew out, it's a massive house in the estate already [3628.7] Tony: Boo [3629.7] Tony: So, yeah [3631.7] Tony: That's totally changed [3633.7] Tony: You just don't even recognise it anymore [3635.7] Tony: It's so weird [3637.7] Tony: Yeah, that's gone [3639.7] Tony: But I was like, oh, these are all fields [3641.7] Tony: These are all fields for miles [3645.7] (Patrons): That's all you could say [3646.7] (Patrons): Fields and chimneys [3650.7] Tony: Fred didn't know over here [3651.7] Tony: Yeah, Fred [3652.7] Tony: Oh, Fred, get out of that chimney [3656.7] Tony: Right, we've hit the wall [3657.7] Curry: It just goes where his alpacas instead [3660.7] Tony: Yeah [3662.7] Frank: Hopefully, maybe we'll have [3666.7] Frank: Maybe we'll drag Jack back on next week [3668.7] Frank: And maybe we can go through some of the torture photos for him [3673.7] Frank: Otherwise, thank you everyone for listening and following along with us [3678.7] Frank: Thank you for all our Patreons for supporting us [3681.7] Frank: You have been listening to Let's Drone Out [3683.7] Frank: And this week we have had Kerry [3685.7] Frank: Goodbye [3686.7] Frank: We have Blue Owl [3687.7] Frank: Goodbye [3688.7] Frank: We've had Tony [3689.7] Frank: All y'all [3690.7] Frank: I've been Frank [3691.7] Frank: Goodbye and see you next week [3693.7] Frank: Bye
