You crashed because there is an optical flow sensor on the bottom. This is also why drones can have an uncommanded descent when flying low over water, this sensor can be confused by reflective waves
@@man.fromearth that's not true. Gopro maybe makes better shots, but FPV's camera is really good already. I would rather recommend you to stop buying FPVs as you said, and rather build a real fpv quad.
Buys DJI product doesn’t read the instruction manual, Flies through moisture and crashes. Takes it back to the hobby shop and says you sold me a piece of shit, I’m not gonna recommend anybody by this!
Here's why you *do* buy the DJI FPV drone. Get the motion controller for it and literally *anyone* can fly it. So far my dad, my sister, a couple of my cousin's kids and a neighbor kid have all put more total air time on my DJI FPV drone than myself (I fly regular race quad and fixed wing). None of them have ever flown anything before. 2-3 minutes of ground school, and learning how to turn in a hover, I tell em to cross over the powerlines above the poles (it can't see wires) and just set em loose. None have ever crashed it. Even got my dad chasing my plane around after his 3rd flight, in sport mode. THAT is what this drone is for. Not diving waterfalls.. ;)
yea it’s already like 800g *without* a GoPro, what do you think is gonna happen. plus, even with a proper DIY cinematic drone you don’t fly through a freaking waterfall even IF it’s coated. now, it’s objectively correct that no one should buy the DJI Potato in the first place (especially in 2024), but the reasons given here are pilot error and sheer stupidity.
😂 both instances the drone was not at fault. First one was just you not pulling out of the dive too late, second one you flew it straight into the water...
Do you know that is because of signal issue The second one is because of signal issue The signal is lost That's only because the signal lost do you listen what he said signal lost
@@fireball2275 yep I seccond this. While custom quads are harder to figure out it took me abt 2 hours of flight to learn full acro and I have never looked back. You will love the avata or fpv at first and then you will feel stuck due to its limits and lack of an upgrade path
@@man.fromearth you take that comment serious? I Hope that „The Aqua Reign“ has common sense and doesn’t fly anything under a waterfall and guess what? An avata will also fail if operated by a monkey
Don't immerse it because the whole drawer will be oily a disgusting slip day what I want to do is you have to use a syringe needle that is small enough you injected inside the motors now you're done Larry lesson and never never be a lazy Larry never underestimate knowledge ever again
Suggestion: Build a 5", use conformal coating and silicone to _"waterproof"_ it, after a healthy dose of RUclips University on the subject. You may be able to get away with the spray afterwards. But a full dunk? Naw, no way.
@@kuzadupa185 I think he means more the O3 and Air Unit, for home-builts. But I agree with him for a couple reasons: One, you don't wanna put that kind of investment in sketch situations, I mean top $$$! And also, DJI VTx's are way harder to attempt "water-proofing", considering the work that would go into disassembling the VTx to even attempt it. If I were to go for a dangerous shot like that, *you know* it's gonna be GoPro on Analog. I'd try to keep the S's out of it (that is, to run a 4S vs 6S, prevent arcing), at 200mw. If I ran 1W, a drop of water would cause a hot VTx to frickazee like James Brown on my couch.
Most commenters clearly don't understand FPV drones. The first crash was his mistake, but it's definitely ok to not recommend a drone that has a bad power-to-weight ratio. In the second case, the return to home malfunctioned during the signal loss and the drone just fell of the sky which is fully DJIs fault.
Everyone saying you should expect this from getting a drone wet. I flew my old Parrot Anafi in heavy fog, light rain and and even snow storms without any trouble or long term effects. Just let it dry off good afterwards
You're all not getting this. After extensive use in all terrains and conditions, he's broken 2 in extreme conditions. These drones cost a ton, but it's his expertise and job to make thousands from these videos. He knows what he's doing and still loved the drone Meanwhile people here complaining with either no expreience or only experience with dji mini drones
So…you’re telling me that you flew through water…with an electric drone…that isn’t waterproof…and you’re surprised it stopped working? I mean, the second one was just unfortunate, but the first one? C’mon man.
I crashed my mavic mini on the roof of my condo while drunk, 5 months later some contractors got it down for me and I sh*t you not it still worked with a new battery and blades.
DJI makes good filming drones which are drones that shoot stable shots like if u re making a film scene, they have pretty good stabilized camera systems but for fpv drone pilots, y’all better go with some other brands bc I personally own a DJI mavic 3 pro and an Avata2 “fpv” drone which just came out this year and I don’t feel like the Avata 2 is as good as those DIY Fpv drones in many circumstances such as diving shots, throttle power etc. DJI ‘s products are not financial friendly😅 as well bc they re intense to make your money. Hopefully they update their Fpv drone better and better but now it’s just a game of capitals. 😅
Can you send a link to the action camera mount? I bought a small rig one but the camera sits too far back and you get terrible vibrations in the footage, and high winds warning during a crystal clear morning. It handles fine but is pretty useless. Deffo need another mount n try again.
Man I was hovering over a river, there was no wind or anything that could of made it crash due to pilot error, no more than 100 feet away from it and yes I had a fully charged battery. My drone and gargles were updated with all updates.
The second crash I doubt was a control issue, you have no perception of height over glassy water, float plane pilots have special training for landing on glassy water cause it’s very easy to smash into it without knowing
The hand controller has a glitch in the software and it comes straight from the factory that way not all of them have it but the drones that are getting lost that's why
