Things I am passionate about and record on video.
At first I had a Sony Handicam in my race car, then GoPro cameras on my helmet riding my dirt bike or snow machines. Recently I capture video with one of my drones. Also, I may capture something interesting on my iPhone. I am a long time RUclips user and am constantly trying to make better video.

The video looks great, Jim!! So far I haven’t been all that impressed with the brightness of the Thumb Pro videos. They all seem too dark. This is obviously not a Thumb Pro. So I gotta ask, is this the GEPRC T-Cube 1.8 HD? I was speculating based on that it’s a 2S, HDZ and the light blue props are stock on the T-Cube. I was thinking about getting one myself.😊
This was a Sigma Design Nanofly20 which was 1S and I flew it so much I bought the empty kit and made a 2S versioan. The cam has upgaded lense, all I did is update the firmware, use my camera settings with HDZERO and I too am also surpised how good this looks.
I like to hear the sound. most people that post videos don't have mic.
Thanks, this unit does, but I was also carrying a ThumbPro which continually stopped recording, I need to upgrade firmware or try another SD card.
5:50 why the altitude is so high and jumps up and down in the end before you land?
I'm not sure I was seeing that too... I need to compare with big brother Rekon 5 and see if it does similar...
awesome. I wish to have a chance to fly my quads too.
You should try out horizon mode on a switch, Jim! It's extremely difficult to lower altitude in a tight space in angle mode, as you've come to discover..😅 At least then, you can dive a bit to see your intended landing area, but you'll still have the stability of angle. 🙂 Nice flight! 🫡🤙🏻🔥
I've got Horizon, Angle and Air mode on a switch. At the start of the vid I have the goggle view in lower window, and you see I was in HOR mode which is Horizon. It's a new build, a very light Grinderino with 5" arms, and nice motors! It moves so nice I have to slow my mind down to land her.
@JimBacus oh, right on! I'm terrible about paying attention to osd. After years of racing, I've just kind of stripped it back to the essentials. Looks good dude, happy flying! 👌🏻
only fpv video my gf enjoyed
Thank you, thats a really fun little bot!
If i order this setup i will practice by putting a bucket with a weight lifting bar on my head and trying to balance it
Thanks! It took a day to figure out how to arm with the new Gemini ELRS diversity RX, but got small maiden flights today!
sweet looking quad! love the 'rotating' table lol
Pretty impressed that you were able to find it, Jim. The last distance I saw, you were about 1500' away when it went down. Do you have GPS Rescue enable/on a switch?
It had GPS working so I was dropping bread crumbs along the way. I havs not got GPS rescue working for me yet, soon! I am starting to like 5" models a lot.
At least I found ot I sort of like the ND filter on the Thumb 2, and although better, but still questionable performance issues with the new Zeus VTX.
@@JimBacusyou are in a heavily wooded area I’m surprised you got as far as you did. Don’t do stuff like this without rescue enabled
@@Loophole120 Thanks, I really need to test a rescue setup params with a return alt over area woods.
@ I’m getting mine in a few days . I will set up mine and show you what you need . I have a 4” with return to home works pretty great, flys back to you . Get video transmission back and keep on flying
Do you have the nds filter on it, or why does it look so dark?
Im using SpeedyBee short masts and TrueRC X2-airs on my HDZero goggles and the VTX was pulled from my Mobula6 and changed to a simple single dipole.

I really like it, the spot, the view, just great. What antenas are you using on the goggles, and what vtx/antenna combination is on your quad?
Wow, just amazing colors!!😍
not bad for my little 25g HDZero twig named Glow
Cool flight, Jim! Definitely a different vibe with the overcast skies and almost monochromatic colors. What is your Goggle setup for this flight? Wasn’t sure if you were strictly HDZero with an analog module, or if you have a dedicated pair of analog Goggles as well?
@@MDubNM I also have ORCA goggles but I was using HDZERO goggles with the analog module here. I am going to once over the settings on the Thumb 2 cause you have to use their app to set it up Between the new analog vtx and the Thumb 2, always something to get right. It took several days to get the correct vtx table for the Zeus.
Still quite dark exposure, try ISO 100 and ND8.
Thanks. Brand new GoPro Hero, stock raw settings, no ND at all, 30fps, shot this morning. I show a bit shot from my iPhone at the start, and analog video from the Caddyx up front for a bit. Its very strange at the darkness lately.
To my eyes, these camera setting look very natural. Exactly what I would expect to see if I were a bird flying the shoreline at sunset.👍 The reflection of the sun in the water is very cool!😍
Thank you for your comments. I am starting to try using better analog VTX, I am having better luck with long range and working with a GPS,
I agree with @TailSpinRCSpain the exposure is a bit dark. Looking at some of your past videos, here is one where the exposure looks spot on: ruclips.net/video/AdFvM0bK5P8/видео.htmlsi=CSj89R_jxKZDUe5q I recently got the HGLRC DraKnight, the analog video is horrendous...the Manta 5 SE looks pretty good, what camera does it have? It's hard to tell from just the waves on the lake, was it breezy during this flight? Seems like the beach combers were interested in the Manta as well. 🙂
I agree, it looks dark... I did no settings. on the GoPro... I am starting to wonder if Final Cut Pro is doing something. There is also analog video that is captured off a Cadyx ant.
Very artistic/atmospheric, but I think you are struggling with exposure settings, LOL Keep it up Jim ! 😎
I am struggling with my cameras, I should have GoPro skeleton on there but it wouldnt turn on after mounting it. I wanted something so I flew with an old GoPro 10, no ND, basic settings... I will evetually find the right combo but at least the GPS started working. Very diffferent flying machine.those 2207 on 6S has lots of power, even carrying a full size GoPro. Definetly enjoying this one!
Thanks, I agree it looks dark. I am also suspecting settings in Final Cut Pro.
What frame you using?
Firefly nano baby
@@JimBacus oh nice
I just picked up the HGLRC DraKnight. It’s fun to fly, but boy howdy going from HDZero back to Analog sure is a shock. I still like my “modded” Tinyhawk III better.
@@MDubNM I just flew my modified DrakShark to compare it to my new Mobula6! ECO bash, both very interesting hot 1S birds I can fly on the HDZERO goggles and my Boxer.
One Analog the other Digital
My goggles always look a bit redder also, suggest a lower ND filter on the thumb or fiddle with the exposure, too dark.
I was running an. 8 ND yesterday, this was just a clear protecter lens, I suspect settings... that was one of the reasons to share both views... I also have the new ThumbPro V2 to start trying out. Thanks for your comments, I watch most of the shots you post.
Life is a BEACH, at least you were dressed for a swim. Hope she was recovered quickly and it isn't salt water.
Fresh water, Lake Michigan. Flight controller killed itself after the dunk, all the rest appears to work after clean and dry. I have the black box logs as well, doesnt explain why it just quit like that...
Oh man!! Just like the Titanic...😥
No reason for that to happen... FC is toast and thats probably deserved, everything else was recovered.
Cool flight and great music, Jim! Don’t know if you saw it, but there is a full minute of silent black screen at the end of your video.
I know, sorry I had a problem editing that out for some reason.
@@JimBacus No worries at all, just making sure you knew.
Nice tree threading Jim.
Thabk you, still new to flying my MonkeyPaw 4", kinda lightweight with 4S 850... I think it's very close, the ThumbPro cam keeps stopping recording, I suspect the SD card.
Dude! your adrenalin had to be pumpin! I have a hate/love relationship with water. You seem to be getting a lot better and waay more confident. are you flying acro yet?
Pumping and flying FAST. I flew 7 packs at least there. Ya, love / hate defenitely, but good looking background for sure. I do a little acro in the sims, and with my tiny whoops. I am not very good at that. Thanks for watching.
Did you set up the MSP right ?
Just build my first tinywhoop with the hdzero eco camara system but nothing shows on the asd even though it’s already set up in betaflight
Красота 👍
Getting fast and low !
Another cool flight, Jim! You seem to be cruising along at a faster than typical speed. You may consider raising up that camera angle a bit if that will be the MonkeyPaw norm.
I was thinking the same thing, very comfortable with this build that took me so long to get close to right. Thanks.
Another cool flight, Jim! That Western view over the lake is just stunning.😍 On the return trip, for a second, I thought you were going to do a touch and go off the deck.😎 That is quite a tall antenna on the MonkeyPaw, have you found that taller is better with HDZero? With any sort of obstruction, I get all kinds of sparkles and am always on the lookout for better performance.
This is using the HDZero Freestyle V2 and the antenna a TrueRC 5.8 ghz RCHP is a solid antenna, I've tried a lot and my conditions are tough. I think taller is better if the drone design permits. Thanks for the comments.
Yeah, that rainbow screen is heartbreaking to see mid flight. If I ever make it to Bay Harbor I’d be happy to help you get her back.💪 Go Red Devils!!
Ive crawled down there at least 3 times, tough terrain to even crawl around. Part of the risk of bluff surfing... oh well, very nice little drone. If you make it up here well just concentrate on flying. Thanks!
Amazing video. Song name?
Take My Time - Tilden Parc. Thank you
Nice video my friend 😎
@@burdfamfpv thanks, I lost my drone in the bluff last evening when the video rainbow 🌈 on me. Couldn’t find yesterday, hopefully I’ll find it today.
@JimBacus aww man I hope you find it 🙏 I remember getting one stuck in a tree so high up I couldn't get it for 3 days straight but could see it, that was frustrating to say the least
@@burdfamfpv Thanks, I know approximately where it is, but I know from video that reconnected that it is on the ground, and I heard the motors when I got close, but climbing back on a wooded sand dune bluff is difficult for me. Ill take another try today.
Oops, make sure to get the sand out of those motors.
oops! Thanks!
Very cool location, Jim! Yeah, that was one of the disappointments for me when I got my first LR drone, it’s no more LR than any of my other 1W analog drones.The only thing Long Range about it was the name.😂
And carrying more electronics like a GPS, Altimeter, better camera. Which have their own complications
@@JimBacus #truth!!
This is an awesome spot to fly! Nice footage!
Another cool video, Jim! Spectacular quality on the footage.👍
It was windier than I thought, doesn't bother the Grinderino much... fun flying different places. Thank You
@@JimBacus I couldn’t really tell the wind was affecting you…nice flying!💪
Another cool video, Jim! You have giant huevos flying over those trees and the lake. I'd be too worried about a fail safe and ending up 50' in the branches.😋
Ive had several fail safe in the woods and bluff up here... and found them. I should post one of those... hard to experience it again..
That's what this hobby is all about 🫡 nice spot my friend 👌
Thank you!
👍😺🙂
🙂👍
🙂😺
Nice bro.
Looked like you were having fun !
Thanks, today Ill have some real flying fun, took me too long to build thism a bit frustratimg but I think worh the time spent.
The flight looks great, Jim, and I dig the music! I see you're using a "Better Lense" on the Nano 90...what lense is that?
Thank you. The add on you buy from their web site, I think RC18D. Works well, Ive outfitted all four of mine this way.
A few little sparkles down the road, but given the trees and 200mW, not too bad Jim.
Nice!!! Looks like it has pretty good range also!!!
