so we recently checked out the DJI mavic
0:03
Pro which is like this super tiny
0:07
foldable drone and we got these like
0:10
Wicked firstperson view goggles for them so it can be like flying through the air
0:15
you're over the Treetops and you're
0:20
like but that whole experience cost like over
0:25
,000 surely there's got to be something a little bit less expensive enter the
0:31
vious HD from Eric's drones it's even
0:35
smaller than the mavic and the goggles
0:39
with the quadcopter and the remote comes in at less than
0:43
$100 but can the experience compare we're thinking probably not but
0:49
let's see by how
0:58
much gfuel is the sugar-free Alternative
1:03
Energy Drink formula that helps to maintain Focus during long work days and
1:07
gaming sessions use offer code Linus to save 40% for a limited
1:12
time all right so there's actually three ways to fly the vids HD we're going to
1:17
start with the good oldfashioned 2.4
1:20
gahz remote up
1:24
down and out to start the motors okay that's okay that's pretty
1:30
painless that's not too bad you got some built-in trim this might be the only
1:36
kind of drone that you can fly without some kind of certification and or
1:40
authorization from the local uh flight
1:45
authorities I mean I can think of worse Fates but actually the flight of this
1:49
thing is pretty stable compared to uh to
1:54
other little tiny drones that I've flown in the past wait for
1:58
it oh it did a flipit okay all right another trick is
2:05
if I push this button we can cycle between three
2:10
different speeds oh it's a lot faster now how about now can you track that
2:15
okay you tracking that you're tracking that
2:20
w w look at it go look at it
2:24
Go all right there's a durability test for
2:28
you so summary pretty cool about what
2:32
five 6 minute flight time sound about right but this is not the whole
2:37
experience instructions unclear dick stuck in
2:43
propeller that video stream actually looks pretty good I mean look at
2:49
that it's not not bad at all look we can
2:56
see that guy shaking his boobies or
2:59
whatever we got that uh that there Pella
3:05
fella that's my new nickname for you
3:08
pelella Rhymes so what we're looking at
3:11
right now is the delay between a drone
3:16
movement and a change in the
3:19
camera now my initial reaction see
3:24
that is that actually looks pretty good
3:27
but we've got some heavy compression artifacts when the Drone is
3:33
doing anything other than staying stock
3:36
Stark still he okay I was pretty sure that
3:42
this was going to happen but I do not I
3:46
do not like the onc screen controls very
3:51
much at all I feel like I'm not really in control it's coming after me oh no no
3:56
no okay just come back okay drawing
3:59
thing drawing a path there it goes it's following the
4:04
path no no what I'm really interested in
4:07
here is the VR mode we slide this baby in here and look
4:13
at this Quality Construction hey actually that looks not
4:18
bad you can adjust your your
4:22
peepers a little bit there get a nice clear image and we're going to go ahead
4:26
and pair to uh this bad boy oh the delay
4:31
oh I just took off oh is it close to me oh bit me in
4:38
the
4:41
finger okay it's behind my head I see that I'm going to move really
4:49
slow I'm going to move really
4:53
oh what the heck
4:57
dude I'm not going to try and land in your mouth that's uh that's for our own
5:03
so conclusion time then pretty darn stable flight for an inexpensive drone
5:09
definitely more video capability than other little tiny drones like this which
5:13
is pretty Rad but in terms of the fpv
5:16
experience I probably wouldn't spend the extra 20 bucks even though 20 bucks is
5:21
uh quite a value for for such a robustly built uh goggle thing there freshbooks
