    You have a dream job. Nice video. I can't imagine how the two drones didn't collide with all those close shots.
    Fragile RC stuff is ushaly a magnet for other fragile RC stuff with its strength proportional to the value of the equipment.

    I'd really like to see a technical breakdown on how the rotor head system works.

    • @prototype3a
      @prototype3a 5 лет назад

      Looks like a 45 degree fixed pitch helicopter head. I suspect they did it to allow blade feathering to reduce vibration.

    • @prototype3a
      @prototype3a 5 лет назад +2

      It looks like they're using counterweights to possibly add some pitch at low RPM.
      To be honest, it looks like a lot of weight for what is probably very minimally better efficiency. Personally, I'd remove those heads and blades and go with a T-Motor P series prop which will be lighter AND more efficient than those cf reinforced plastic props.

    • @maxhouseman3129
      @maxhouseman3129 4 года назад

      Don't like these heads. I believe a fixed prop setup is more efficient.

    • @masso172
      @masso172 4 года назад +1

      I noticed that too. These guys have nailed the recipe for ultimate smoothness. I am interested in that prop configuration, for those who understand the aerodynamics of propellers in a fixed wing vs helicopter vs multirotor, you will already know that fixed blades are meant to operate perpendicular to the airflow. In multirotor applications where the plane of the propeller operates close to parallel about the airflow, lift across different sections of the propeller will be different causing vibrations and in efficiencies (loss of lift). I think that these guys are using a dynamic system that changes the lead or lag of the propeller to compensate for those said inefficiencies, therefore achieving a higher level of smoothness

    For me, they will never be "drones" but "multi-rotors": "quadcopter", "hexacopter", "octocopter"...
    Sometimes in a morning when i can't wake up, i just think about where i came from and where i am now and that's enough strength for the day :p
    Have a great week Daniel and keep living the big dream over there!

      @Niles Black Absolutely. "Quadcopter" annoys me. I'm pretty sure it's just people who couldn't remember the name properly...
      It literally stands for "quad-rotor-helicopter". Can't really skip the "rotor" part...

      That's typical for business class drones tbh. Especially heavy lift cameraships and geospatial mapping rigs.
      The best thing to compare this to in the hobbyist space is probably a hugely overpowered X-class.
