 Does this actually help me, like, kind of navigate? Honestly, I feel like this is helping me. I love this. This is crazy what I'm doing right now. You guys, we need to walk, play back this. This is cool. Welcome to Road to Right. I'm Let's Flyer C. I'm P-Dev-X. I'm Bubby F.P.V. And I got another crazy project for you guys. This is third-person drone flying. What do you mean by third person? Normally we fly drones, we fly first-person view drones and we're actually sitting in the cockpit when we're flying. Well, friend of mine, Zoro, thought it would be really cool to actually set up the camera behind the drone so that we're looking at the drone. Like, we're playing a video game. Oh, like those Tudor games. Yeah! I've seen a lot of videos, and I've actually done some myself where I've actually put the recording camera behind the plane or the drone. I've never actually tried to fly in third-person before. Yeah, I'm really curious how that will affect, like, because what is it going to be? It's going to be, it's going to feel different. Zoro brought this to my attention. I want to say thanks to Zoro for the idea. But this was a really cool concept. I wanted to try it out and see what we can do. We're here at the FPV Oasis at Bill Frederick Park in Orlando. We're going to try to see if we can maybe fly around a little bit and maybe even race these guys. I feel like when people see FPV drone videos for the first time, it's a little bit hard to wrap their head around, like, what they're seeing, because you don't see the drone in the frame. And they're like, well, why is the horizon flipping around? You also have to explain, like, the camera's locked. Every move that you're seeing is the drone. Like, if you see the horizon flip, that's because the drone did a flip. People are going to be able to actually see the drone, realize what's happening in terms of its acrobatics, and help them understand just how impressive these little machines are. I built this with a really strong case because I don't want to destroy this in really expensive O3 aeronet. So I put a little bit of protection around it just to keep it safe back here. It might add a little bit of extra weight. It might change the performance of the drone. I don't know. We'll see what's going to happen. Normally, our camera is tilted at an angle so that when we're flying at an angle, it's looking forward. But this one is flat so that you see the drone and what the drone's doing. So that's going to kind of mess with what we've learned over the years. Oh my God. That looks weird. Kind of like it. I want to see what you're seeing. This is silly. Yeah. Oh, dude. Hold up, hold up. What? Seeing the motor spin up is weird. I'm scared to take off. Don't be scared about me. Oh my gosh. What? This is a freaking video game. Ha ha ha ha ha. Hey, can I have one of these? I love this. I see. You know what's funny though? I'm flying with zero degree camera angle, but maybe you have a constant point of reference for what angle you're at. No. Oh, what was the heck was that? That was weird. Let me try some actual tricks. OK, so I did. OK, let's see. Be careful with y'all. I'll just put that out there as wide. You'll see. All I have to do is inverted y'all spin. OK. OK. Can you feel the weight on the back? Like all that extra weight? Because there's a whole air unit hanging off the back end. It just freaks out every now and then. Like it'll just decide to almost crash. Oh, OK. Yeah, you'd almost want to put some ballast up front to counteract it. That's so weird. I didn't have to be serious. You guys told me not to break it. What am I saying? Like break it? OK. OK, here we go. Break it. Yeah. We got another one. We're good. Yeah, you got two. Oh, that's so weird. OK. Well, do it again, Bob. Here's. Here. Oh, we'll do it again. OK. Going for it. I'm recording you. Oh, that's so weird looking. Let me do it. Let me do it one more time. It's like a scorpion drone. Bro, OK, OK, here we go. Here's the weird thing. The trippy spin didn't feel that much different because I'm looking up. So like, I'm not focusing on the drone. When I'm doing the trippy spin, I'm looking at the top edge of the screen. Oh, come on. It's not broken. I can sit in the drone. What the heck, Bobby? I'm the first person to crash a drone third person. OK? I'm breaking ground here. So what is that, though? You can see the drone is not broken. Yeah, I can see the drone is not broken. It's in view. That was a lot of fun. Yeah, it's fine. OK. Well, it, I love it. I love it. You know. Do a dive. Dive the tree. Like, then it's a building. And I can do a dive down there. We should go to downtown Orlando. That's sick. That's sick. Oh, and it's full drone. OK, so there's definitely something to the camera being in the back. The back motors are working harder, so it's just more underpowered. Imagine it's CanFPV doing this. The TikTok pilot, like, bro, like, bro. In a band, though. Oh, we have to make TikToks out of this. I put the camera behind the drone for a unique perspective. This is crazy. People won't believe how it looks with the camera behind the drone. I don't know. I want to try, like, do the Johnny Kiss the top tree top thing. I got to, like, tap it. Yeah. See, I don't know how far away I am from it. Yeah, your depth has got to be weird. Because you're like, you're going to touch it sooner. Yeah, it does just randomly freak out sometimes. That's cool. Touch it, Bubby. What if a third person bonking, bro? Third person grind? Oh, that's what it has issues. Oh, yeah, there's a finish. One of the weirder experiences I've had. Are you going to build all your drones like this now? Why not? You're trading the spoiler for the person. Exactly. I'm actually impressed that the drone can't even really fly. In general, you want the center of mass to be centered in the prop pattern, right? So I should be able to hold the drone right at the center here, and it should stay balanced. But what's actually happening is it's tipping way far back. These back motors are having to work extra hard to keep it up. I just wanted it to be strong. And I didn't want to break this really expensive area in it that's back here. I just bought three of them, and they're kind of pricey. Up until now, we've only been in wide in the DJI recording mode. The DJI digital FPV system offers an adjustable field of view so you can see ultra-wide or wide, or maybe there's even a narrow setting. So we went ultra-wide because I want to see as much of the drone as possible. Changing that setting doesn't actually change what I see in the goggles, just the recorded 4K video. Oh, that is weird, people. What the heck? I need to lean on something. That is weird seeing the prop spin. You're the leaner. Even the back ones, too. Yeah, this is a video game. A video game, in real life. Do a drift. Slow stuff is cool. So my favorite thing with drones is always to just do big hangtime tricks, just hang upside down as long as you can. And seeing the drone actually do it just adds a whole new level of like, yeah, I'm breaking physics. Yeah. I'm breaking physics. OK, yaw is not a thing for this quad. Yaw is not a, we're not going to be doing that. Honestly, I think it's not an issue that there's no yaw because I don't even like yaw. I'm not even joking. My yaw rates at like 150 degrees per second, so this might be the quadruple. This orbit is really cool. Orbiting is really cool. Yeah, I just love the hang. They're not clean because this drone can only fly so clean, but we'll see Matty flip. Oh, OK. Oh, my God. I missed the gap. I missed the gap. You almost went straight in the left lane. That didn't count. Hold on. We've got to try that again. So I am basically finding that I kind of just ignore the drone and just fly, you know, just try to pretend like I'm flying normally and the drone is just in my way. But I don't think I'm going to be able to do that. But it does add a cool, like, visual effect. I think it's something like when you're focusing on the drone, it's really cool. But otherwise, I kind of just, oh, it's great. Yeah, the first time I flew it, it didn't feel any different to me, except for when I tried to do a yaw movement. Then it was nuts. Yeah, so I'm doing yaws, and I'm doing flips. And those are the two movements, yaws and forward and back flips, where the camera is going to swing on more of an arc than compared to a real drone. Honestly, it doesn't bug me too much. I really can't tell. So doing a yaw and a flip, I was concerned that the camera is going to swing on more of an arc than it does on a regular drone. And you can't visually see it. Yes, there's all sorts of tuning issues that this thing is washing out and flying poorly. But just, you know. But it doesn't feel different when you're yawing around the drone. When it's working, it feels fine. Oh, yeah. I almost wonder if we added a counterbalance in the front if it would do anything. Yeah, it probably would feel a lot better. But it then might not look as cool. True. You just got to make sure to do it. It's got a heavy Superman character in the front. It's so juicy. So juicy. Power loop? Power loop it? No problem. Skill. Too much skill right there, guys. I'm getting in the flow of this. We're at 21.22 voltage tri-land soon. That's excellent. That's the best thing. That's funny. Fly control is having a difficult time with the offset weight. But in terms of the concept, does it make it significantly more difficult to fly with the camera in the back? Not really. And it is kind of visually cool. I think really the only downside is that you're losing part of the view. You can't see as well because there's a thing in the way. But what would you rather see, the drone or what you need to go? It's a fun toy, but I would not want to fly like this 100% of the time. Definitely not. Seriously, you're like, I want to fly with the camera behind the drone, with a motion controller, and I want more latency. I don't recommend this. But I feel like someone new to flying might like it. People, when they want to fly through gaps for the first time, they're just nervous about, is it actually going to go through? You have to fly for a while to get a feeling for how big you actually are. Because you see the camera view, you don't see the drone. So you're like, how small of a hole can I fit through? And once you've been flying for a very long time, you know what's going to work. When you're newer, I think that's something you stress about. And with this, I can just see exactly what I'm going through. We should do this. Someone needs to fly through a very small gap. Real proper OG knife edge gap. The drone shouldn't fit through normally, like you have to knife it. The whole point is it can only fit when it's sideways. So the drone will absolutely fit through normally. But I feel like any gaps that are very vertical like this, it just looks cooler to have it go through sideways. So I think we'll still get the visual effect. I'm going to do this first, and we get that. And then I'm seeing some other small gaps I'm going to try and work. You got this, Drew. This is what you've been training for for your whole life. And what I'm going to do is you do a corner roll to your sideways and go through the gap. And that's what a knife edge is. So I'm going to try and build up a little speed. Just go pop. You got it? Oh, I got it. Thank you. You look cool. I mean, it's pretty cool. Does this actually help me kind of navigate this scraggle? Because I can see. I'm like in the scraggle. Yeah, you are. Because I can see is the drone going to hit it or not. Honestly, I feel like this is helping me. Really? I legitimately feel like that help. I mean, again, I wouldn't want to do this. Could also be go through. I just flew through. But I know what I'm going to hit. Like, I can like, if I'm like, there's nothing's going to sneak up on the side because I can see the whole drone. Like, I have no concern that I'm going to float sideways into the scraggle. Like, no, this is crazy what I'm doing right now. No, this is, you guys, we need to walk back there. This is cool. Like, you actually felt more confident flying through there. I actually felt more confident flying in the scraggle. Interesting. So I'm going to try turtle-moting. That's so. I can take off. I'm free. I love this. Turtle-moting's awesome. Oh, there you are. But power loop over the whole tree obstacle. Here we go. Power looping now. You still on me? I'm just going to keep orbiting. Battery's kind of blocking the view, but then when you get close to the object, you can see it right underneath you. It's really cool. Is there anything to perch? Perch my head. James, you know how you're talking about perching? I think this is a challenge you've got to do. This thing right here. It fits the bottom of the drone perfectly. You got this. Earlier when Drew was flying it, he was saying that it's easier for him to fly through things because he can see where the drone is going. And one thing that we brought up was that it might be easier to perch. So we're going to try to find the smallest thing that we can perch here at Bill Frederick. And we're going to see, we're going to let James do it because I feel like you're going to perch. You're going to have to be perfect. We'll see, we'll see, we'll see. We'll see, we'll see. DJI initiation. Initialize. And there you go. You ready? You've been training your whole life for this moment. Oh man, Chris is going to be right there. OK, here we go. This is it. If you mess up then. Then I think I have to quit, right? Yeah. Oh wow, it's way smaller. OK, so it's. Yeah, it's tiny. It's that issue that you had earlier when you were trying to bonk the tree or whatever. It's further than it looks. Yeah, like your depth perception of knowing where the drone is is off, for me at least. But I do see the post better. Like normally I would be looking right over it. Yeah. I can't tell how close I am now. Yeah, it's tough. Like that felt close. Yeah, you touched it. I mean, you could see that you touched it, so. God, be careful. Yeah, it was a fun of a touch. OK, that's good to know. Just so stubby. Yeah, it is so stubby. Dude, this looks like difficult. Like, I'm just looking at the drone and it's so much bigger than the pole. Well, the wind is not helping. The wind is not helping, but excuses are excuses. Steady fingers. You got this. Do you think it's harder to do it like this? No, it's easier. Like you see the actual thing that is going on. But I don't think I would be able to do it without this. Really? Yeah, but I also don't think I'll be able to do it with it. No, you're going to go for it. So you're saying we should title this. Is this the new way all drones should be built? With spoilers. Yeah, I think it's because you know how the spoiler on there. It's a really hard trick. I don't think James can do it, though. Is it really that hard? You're doing it that hard, no way. If cameras further back, so you're seeing further back in time. Right, yes, it's true. We're just further back in space. Funny because I almost believed you for a second. Put the drone on the pole. So we're on take 28 now. That's too high, right? Way too high. I think it's just too small. It's just like real. It's not. It's not too small. Let me try it. I want to try it. Bubster has arrived. Hey, it's lovely. It's your time to shine. It's particularly too hard, by the way. It's only because we have the thing on the back that I still look there. Yeah. But it's only because the thing on the back is nipped out. If you didn't have the thing on the back, it would have been like that. You nailed it. Yay. Whenever we were doing it earlier, what James was saying was we couldn't really see where the perch was. And I saw that when I first went up, I was like, you actually can't see. It's just blind. It's harder for me to go front to back than it is to side. I was spotting where the edge of the gap was through, straight through the arm's right there. And I was setting it down perfectly just like that. Even then, it was just like super difficult to be precise every time. But you're saying that that unique viewpoint did give you an advantage on this particular trip. Oh, totally. I did that like first battery. Like I think if it was a normal drone, like I probably would be here for a couple of days. So do you think that this is how drones should be now? We should all just go to third-person drones. We should be done with first-person. FPV is dead. Long live TPV. TPV. I don't know if I'm the good person to ask about that because like, I fight a spoiler. So like of course I'm going to switch to this. We got to walk this carefully so that we can trick Banggood into making this again because whatever we do, weird things, Banggood doesn't always know if we're kidding or if it's like just an experiment. That's how bone drone actually ended up in production. Bone drone became a real product. What? Is it production? This is great. Someone should make a frame like this. Honestly, I don't like the way they do their own stuff right now. We don't have the time. You should do this. Yes. It's a free idea. This is a free idea. We're just giving this to you. You guys want to make bang. Look, here. We'll give you a real close look. There you go. So you can clone his design. Just make it just like this. Is this going in the other side? It's going to be great. It's going to be great. Thanks for watching, guys.
