 I'm driving this Bendo back to California because I really want it there. Ahh! Whoa, you put so much force that you bent the steering wheel. Welcome to Roader Riot. What's up everybody? Welcome to Roader Riot. I'm Peter FPV. I'm Wes Flier C. And I'm Bubby FPV. And today I have another project for you guys, some really cool stuff. My friend Josh over at Medlin Drone sent me some really cool parts. He custom designed a head tracking module for my tank frame and for our Vision 40 frame. Both of these frames are available at RoaderRite.com. Before you go morning, sir, what is head tracking? Okay, so head tracking is a really cool technology where we can actually put a adapter here on our goggles. This is a little mechanism that is going to transmit the angle that your head is tilting back to the drone. And then the drone is actually going to tilt the camera to match your head's movements. So it sort of has like maybe like a gyro? Yeah, it's got a built-in gyro. This was actually given to me by FPVDogfight.com. This is their Tally Ho head tracking adapter. And it's really cool. Thank you guys for providing this to me. It made it a lot easier for me to get this project taken care of. I actually took it a step further. I took it apart and installed a wireless device on my radio and I've got this little switch here to turn it on. And I don't have to actually use a cable between the radio and the goggles because the way it actually works is the goggles send the information to the radio and then the radio retransmits that information to the drone. Oh, that's cool. Wow, that's crazy. But it's all wireless. Both of these are head tracking drones and we will have to have full control over these drones and over our movement. You're telling me this has a gimbal. Where? I don't even see a servo. It's so small. Where is it? The way that he did this is the servo is actually where the camera is mounted to. So the servo actually moves itself and the arm of the servo is attached to the drone. Oh, that's smart. Yeah, it's really cool. So the whole servo turns with the camera attached to it. It's really neat. Yeah, I think this is the smallest platform I've seen like a gimbal on. I know. Yeah. And it's like super light. You'd think it would be heavy, but feel that. Man, yeah. It's nothing. I mean, I could just like, such a great idea. It stays up. It stays up. It stays up. It stays up. I mean, it's really great idea that Josh had. And the other one was really cool because Josh custom made this for my tank frame so they would bolt right up to my mounts on the front. And I'm actually carrying a DJI-03 camera on here. Yeah, for sure. I mean, we're here in a Detroit Bendo and this is actually an abandoned automobile facility. And if we just look around, we have a bunch of like vertical obstacles. We have a bunch of railing, a bunch of wires hanging. So usually when we fly, you have to fly the drone up and then you're able to see your obstacles. But this one I could be cruising on the ground then oh, I'm gonna go up there So we know this one is the servo moves, but what about this one? I see a bunch of gears. Oh, yeah This is wild way. He did this. It's so crazy. He's got all this gearing and like a belt to move the camera around and It's super durable. He says I haven't actually crashed this hard enough to make this happen But he says rather than damaging the servo on this Yeah, it'll actually just skip a gear skip a tooth So I gotta do is like just pull it back to where it was okay, and one of the most Least durable things on these gimbal drones in the past has always been the servo. That's the first thing to break Yeah, so the way that he did that is he just fixed it with this gearing. It's so genius I can't wait to see how it works. I'm excited about it So the footage you'll guys will see on the little drone will be nice quality HD We're rocking the walk sail avatar system And then this the footage you'll be seeing is directly off the 03 and that's it's like 4k 120 Which is which is super nice So I mean, I'm excited to just test it out and see what we can do here All right, let's take this thing up and see what can do with it Thank you. I'm excited to try this You're good to go All right, so I'm just gonna fly slow and try to get like Okay, so oh, this is weird Sorry, isn't this or anything very disorienting Why do you think it why do you think it's so disorienting because I'm used to having a fixed angle So like usually to go up I just look where I'm going and then fly up this time looking up and going up Also, it's just such a high camera angle now that I'm right Yeah, like whenever I fly a different camera angle in the simulator, for example Yeah, I have to retrain my stick move is on my hands because it's almost like y'all and roll Interactively with the drone. Yeah, and it's very interesting being able to change your angle while you fly. It's just like Yeah, you have to kind of there's this ladder dive. I'm gonna try to fly out there. Oh boy. Here we go That's like the ladder diving hold on. I need it like a mini version I need to be able to someone hold the goggles on my head. I need to build it so far the back. Okay. Okay, ah Okay, I don't think you have to go that high. Okay. Hold on. Let go. Let go. It's impossible. It's hard It's really difficult. I need more practice, but it's a cool thought. What about this one right behind it? So there's one right behind it. It's still vertical there. Yeah, I'm gonna try to go up and then look down and fly So let's see I'm gonna fly over here. Now. I'm gonna look down This is cool Finding this gap It's weird because I've never flown with the negative camera angle and like you know what you go past 45 up till like y'all Roll change. Yes, but once you go down 45 it's I don't even know how to explain it. It's not it's it's kind of like you're flying a Mavic that's just kind of parked in place Right. Yeah, almost a little bit. All right, so let's see. I'm gonna race. I'm gonna tilt up more Let's start hauling up. Oh You're going fast. He's zooming. He's Alex Vanover. Watch out. Oh, last video, last video. Oh Almost landed in the water puddle, but you didn't so we're good Yeah, so I mean this thing is really cool because like the ability to be flying super slow even looking down see in this whole flight I was able to look down and almost stop right stop if I backwards back to it I know right forward and then I was like let's go 60 degrees and I'm like Give me a cool car to chase and his head tracker drone Maybe a five inch or something and like a nice camera And you can get some really awesome angles because you know you have like a dynamicness that fpv drones have but then like you can get like In an inspire shot where you're just looking right down above it. Well, we did bring a five inch We brought my almost indestructible frame the tank. I hope the gimbals Yes, well according to Josh medlin the gimbal is pretty darn strong by the way You can pick these things up at medlin drones comm or fpv dog fight calm if you need to buy the head tracking Attachment be sure to hit those guys up for these parts if you want to try this on your own But let's go try out the tank which should be virtually indestructible, but we are in Detroit So we all know how that goes. Why you talk about it's tank time tank time tank time Something cuz you know you you're already good at purchasing but just Your camera angle a little bit up. You know, you can't really see down But that's don't be losing my drone. I'll be able to look down Well, I gotta make sure so I've heard something that we can recover easy from but I don't know if we can't We know you're good at crashing drones. Yeah, I really like So, you know, if you I'll be really hurt if you lose my drone Tank time guys. Oh, man. Okay, so I'm gonna try to keep my oh, there's some birds in front of you Oh, I see him. Oh my goodness. All right, so right now. This feels like my normal angle. I'm flying But if I like raise it up careful I did that and slam into the ground by accident. That's exactly what I was focusing on the floor that way I don't slam into the ground. Oh Let's go try to orbit this tower. All right, so look down Oh, that's so oh my goodness way down now, right? Yeah Let's let's orbit this tower. Does it make a difference what angle you orbit it? I mean if you have your head normal, then you're just flying at your right angle Yeah, I guess if I orbit if I lift my head higher it does throw the orbit off a little so it gives have to give it a Little bit more throttle. Oh, but actually I feel like I could orbit better. Yeah, it's making go faster, isn't it? Yeah, it is There's Bobby do a little All right, so he said a little to reach out. Oh, it's so sick It's so sick Right, so these guys want me to find something to purge Yeah, let's see if you can purge on something and see if it's any different with this setup I'm sure it's going to be a lot different. Okay, so they want me to use a head tracker with this one Because I was I was so scared and nervous that I wasn't using so they want me to look down But when I start looking down, I start flying backwards. You are flying backwards. That's hilarious Oh my goodness. Okay guys, so let's go front now. Let's ease up on it. Let's ease up on it. Just think Mavic Let's ease up on it. Thank Mavic. You got this We're like a Mavic right now. Okay, so ease up ease up and that's like it not a flat surface, so Yeah, I wouldn't even try this. This is your thing And with a different radio different parties just with when the game ball on it's okay You got this just fly better Peter. You got this Oh, yeah, buddy. Oh, look down look up. Hello. Yep. Oh Got it. Oh my goodness. Oh man Look at how small this is guys. It's not even a flat surface. It's on top of like Yeah, I wouldn't even try to freakin first that thing. No, I'm not look at that Man, that was like on the edge flying. I couldn't I was I started shaking like if I was diving the building or something Yeah, I don't know why it is maybe it's because yeah Maybe it's because it's like my first time flying something with a head tracker and I've never actually flown something higher than 10 degrees And when I go like this it just throws me completely off, but man that was a blast. That was amazing I can't believe I parked the top of that tower.
