What team are you on, FPV or regular drones!?

[tomca]

The Mavic gives me National Geographic documentary vibes while the FPV gives me Marvel movie vibes. Both awesome for very different reasons.

I think they all have their beauty, with the regular drone you get those cinematic smooth shots and with the Fpv you get those fast epic shots. In terms of storytelling, I believe they all have those moments when they are used. Thank you guys it's a great video.

It's true about FPV drones, you need a lot of money if you want to be at a high level and race. I was doing FPV drones when they just started to appear, there weren’t even simulators on computers yet. For 1.5 years I spent about 1600-4000 bucks on spare parts for the drone.But to be honest, I flew almost every day.

After seeing this, I believe FPV gives you that 'superman' flying freedom that regular drones just don't. Way harder to learn but much more exhilarating result during the flight and the footage obtained. As a newbie to drones, I know baby steps are the right way to learn FPV, so I just need to start walking. Thanks - great video.

They're really for capturing different scenarios. I would personally want to bring both an FPV and the Mavic to create the best experience, especially like the Mavic to build suspense and the one-take FPV footage for the action at the chorus or something

[mannythehunter]

Both!

FPV
- Create those crazy dive shots!! You can’t create that with a regular drone
- Proximity flying. It’s not easier (than regular drone) but you do gain more confidence with FPV
- Have a really hard leaning curve. I have spent 6 months with one now and I still don’t feel confident on certain dives.
Regular drones
- Fire and forget. You can set it to pan or follow you and not worry about it
- Easy to Learn
Each drone has their plus and minus. I had to developed a cheat sheet for shots so I don’t forget the possible shots I can take at a location. Sometimes you get focused on that particular dive and forget there are many other shots you can take. For example you can pan away with FPV (from really close object) and create an awesome better shot than with a regular drone.

I started flying fpv. Never owned a dji drone. I can tell you that the soldering and tinkering was both painful and equally rewarding. Getting something you created in the air is an amazing feeling. Especially when its tuned.

However I definitely can see the appeal for an out of the box plug n play. I flew my friends mavic and it was both easy and rewarding in its own way.

Nothing can beat feeling like an eagle though. Like nothing. 🦅

If you fly camera drones and want to get into FPV, buy the avata pro view combo and fpv controller 2. It costs 29 dollars to replace a broken Avata with care refresh. Then, you can buy true FPV drones with the 03 air unit. The avata can act like a camera drone. Has plenty of camera features. doesn't need a gopro if you aren't a professional doing client work. The fpv controller 2 can be used with the 03 air unit to control any fov drone.

Solid video man. You and Terry power combo. Love to see friends connecting.

[MarioSoMedia]

Great to see you and Terry hanging out! Your fpv skills have improved soo much! Love the fpv look but agree that the regular drones give you more versatile uses.

[William_NS]

Betaflight 4.4 GPS rescue may not be as smooth as DJI RTH but my home built FPV quads ALWAYS land closer to takeoff point than my DJI drones do. It's pretty incredible, actually.

[RhettandClaire]

It's about sending it down the ladder❤Love both of you guys, keep on crushing it!

[nickbeedroning]

This video was so much fun to watch. Seeing you two play off each other and trying to outdo each other with epic shots at different perspectives

[TerryWarfield]

You cheated!! Lol. Man GREAT video and thanks so much for inviting me and your hospitality bro. Keep inspiring!

[drdrhelmut]

Love your FPV videos and totally agree with he ups and downs of the different drone types. I love my FPV drones, but Mavic clips are just classy, clean and very vlog friendly. Comparing FPV to Mavics feel like comparing a hammer to a saw to me.

[xCrazyTwix]

You could have used some epic music for the mavic footage too, not only for the fpv. Kind of makes the fpv look better than it should.

[jstewart]

The slower it goes the cleaner the shot. You can speed things up where needed later with the editor. The more help you can get the better and the goggles and motion control for DJI might make it super easy to do those tricky circle shots.

[SpaghettiFPV-tgqh]

Nothing beats the "feel" of flying fpv
Its just next level you are in the cockpit its insane

[Joey.Alford]

Man I hadn't heard of Terry before this video collab. He's awesome, dude brings solid energy to the video, awesome combo!
