No... I think he has cameras set up pretty much everywhere, all charged and waiting. Then, whenever he needs an angle, he triggers a nearby camera remotely with an app.
I always try to avoid watching Casey's videos when they come out so I can enjoy them in the morning, best way to start the day, (with a bacon & egg sandwich ofc).
I live in the UK so sometimes I am in bed anyway before they come out :) Not to bring science into this, but I was told that you should avoid moving images, (TV / video) before sleep because it wakes some part of the brain up, so I usually listen to some music :)
Not easy, just funny when they feel to post a revenue video as if they r dead broke and cannot just get another. But Casey is messing it up for real Drone pilots. I assume he has his FAA certification? If not he needs to demonotize his vids or someone is being bribed.
Whether or not he has his FAA certification is irrelevant to whether he's making money off the videos. Some of his drone shots were in violation of FAA drone rules, yes. But they were in violation regardless of whether he was making money off the videos. You don't get to break the rules just because you don't make money off the videos.
Yea, if you set your home point. Also, there was a version of the DJI Go App that wasn't setting the home point accurately and causing flyaways, but I'm pretty sure this video was made long before that unstable version of the app.
Casey YOU DRONE IS ON THE BOAT! How can it still be transmitting power if its in the river? I doubt even if its "waterproof" the battery is still working if it's under water... Or its just completely gone.
I never owned anything cool in my life BUT......!!! my subscribers on my tiny little youtube channel actually just bought me a Mavic and it is charging right now as I type this. So stoked! Lovin your work Casey. U R a genius bro!
I just realized something. Unless he had two cameras set up. Casey had to climb that fence at the begging at least 4 times. One to get over to set up camera. Again to get back over then again to get the shot. Then one more time for the shot from behind.
this is the reason he won an award, when you look at any episode properly and what went behind making it, you get to appreciate good artists and the effort they put into it
yeah, I've noticed that for a while now. Can you imagine if you were hanging out with him? Let's leave.. "okay, np. I have to walk in & out of the room 4 times to get every angle for my vlog". Most of the time he's by himself. But I wonder what people think when they see him do something 2-3 times over and over again when they randomly see him on the streets or hotel. I give him so much credit for not caring what people think. I could never talk into a camera I'm holding myself in front of others. Or at least it would take me a while to get used to it.
Ah, I'm jealous of you being able to travel all over the place. I love the feeling of hotel hopping from place to place and always being on the move. It's nice to have a home base but travel just feeds my soul. The airport hustle and bustle. The plane. The minor anxiety before leaving. The ritualistic hello and goodbye to the hotel room. The feeling of just being out of your normal location and routine. It's intoxicating.
Very well said. Casey treats this equipment like a kid treats a toy. God only knows where this drone landed, who he may have hit, or what property it could have damaged on its way down. Irresponsibility is frowned upon in the Drone Industry, just because you are a RUclips celebrity does not make you special. Fucking up with a drone hurts the rest of us who actually try to follow the rules and try to fly responsibly! Be conscious of the community which you are affecting. Casey does not deserve a Mavic, specially not a second one. I don't care if it was a problem with the drone or not. Sorry man. Go take the Part 107 testing and get your FAA commercial license. You are operating in no-fly zones, and illegal/dangerous locations constantly. In short, you are doing it wrong and its only time before we see you on a blog being put behind bars. Just do it right buddy, we know you mean well.
Well a $1000 dollar done is a toy. $14,000+ cinema drones are not.. Which is what I fly for shoots. Also a drone that small falling would cause less damage than a golf ball or baseball. but I don't see anyone crying on line when a $5.00 baseball takes out a $500 windshield or $1000 french bay window.
Kobe Wild to be more accurate these size copters weigh approx 1.5kgs...thats surely more like a claw hammer raining down on unsuspecting citezens in NY city. which is illegal i might add, and bloody leathal
Not exactly more "accurate", but rather another microcosm. As a claw hammer has points at both ends of it. Also the claw will not crush, under impact, and absorb some of the energy that is being exerted. The psi of the collision could change dramatically depending on where it made contact.
Casey.. I was never much into Quad copters. After winning a Phantom 3 at work. Charging the controller and drone battery a couple nights later. I took off with my first flight. At first it was like a kid in a candy shop. Watching the copter hover at eye level. Slowly I moved the drone higher and higher in the air. Seconds later, it slowly drifted backward with no response.. crashed into a tree being stuck two .. almost three floors high. A cold freezing night. I put up a ladder and climbed a tree with the garden tool. I climbed the tree until the branches were too thin. I used the garden tool and finally knocked the drone free from the tree. It came crashing down and surprising it landed right on the landing gear. I thought almost no damage occurred. Later I learned it cost me a ribbon cable, housing and center board. Then I thought maybe the Mavic was the way to go..I am happy to watch your video.. It has saved me alot of money I believe..
Casey is super smart, if his drone is actually gone and he's making all these free hype videos for DJI I cant imagine that they wouldn't send him another... ;)
Casey does a little too much for some of his shots. He climbed over that gate, set his camera down, climbed back over, and then climbed BACK over to get the shot of him climbing over.
I know, me too. I've watched a couple of this yuppie buttpuppet's vids, and really don't understand how or why he gets the traffic. As stupid, bland and boring as content gets. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Yup, this channel is pretty damn sad alright. Its popularity is surely an indictment upon the intelligence of its fans. The stupid is strong in these ones.
I have watched it a few times over the last year and I don't get it. I think it is like the old twitter where people would log on and tell people to tell them what to eat for breakfast etc... Seriously, this guy's life is far and above 99% of the viewers watching him regularly. Maybe that is it people dreaming they had his lifestyle like the braindeads that watch Kim K all the time? I only tuned in to see how he lost his mavic but I couldn't take more than the first 4 mins.
***** Yup, same here. I wanted to see what happened to his new Mavic, but I just couldn't deal with the drivel that forms the basis of his utterly inane videos. Knowing Casey, he was the sole cause of the technical failure of that drone.
***** Yep, on all counts. I still can't figure out what his vids are all about except maybe to show off like Kim K. Wonder why they didn't slap him up on E! instead of YT?
Thats how you know you made it to the big time! When you take a helicopter to Manhattan instead of an Uber or someone picking you up. Casey got that 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰🤑🤑🤑🤑💰💰💰
Anyone who listens to your videos is missing the whole point. Your "cuts" are outstanding. I am late to the party and am binge watching your videos. Hope someone didn't have to take a dump during your "me time".
Casey, you have marked your luggage you have engraved your laptop and you're not even put your contact info on a drone? as soon as it lifts off I would be worried if I ever see it again so putting your information on is least you can do to bring it home in case its lost. I'm sure you have your drone back by now its time to mark it
CMP true but there are a lot of people who don't care to mess with it + seeing Casey how busy he is im sure he never registerd it same goes for all his gear ..it's much easier to call. I have my contacts on the back of my phone.... hope I never loose it. Peace!
Does not look like it was Casey's fault on this one, it is Probably not out yet - (BECAUSE) they most Likely KNOW there is a +++Glitch in the Software+++ (maybe at a certain distance maybe??? -- but they DEFINITELY do NOT want to tell Casey THIS cause they KNOW he will be (HONEST) with over 5 Million People and they want the DJi LAUNCH to go PERFECTLY (so they LET him THINK it is his fault and it is NOT)-- NOT Casey's Fault (on this one) he is ADVENTURE MAGNET, but he KNEW he could not just go to the store on this one, so he would NOT loose it (carelessly). Agreed!
Being irresponsible and unnacountable for some kinda serious stuff with flying/crashing drones in dangerous places which not only could go badly and cause injury, but negatively affects the drone/rc hobbyist/racing global community.
Maybe shit happens and fly aways are unavoidable even when you've followed all the correct operating procedures? Jesus, I hope none of you have children. They're probably kept awake at night wondering why they never do anything right.
Unfortunately fly aways happen. My phantom 4 was gone on Sep 24th contacted DJI couple of days after; until now Oct 12th. no data analysis provided or results. They are so slow in terms of costumer service or i'm just one of the few victims? Calgary snowed already probably the drone that flew away is unusable...
Sorry about your drone! Their customer service is a total joke, and there's no number to call to speak to anyone. Live chat, or email, if you call and talk to tech support you get someone with rough english who tells you you need to go online to the chat...had to cancel my Mavic order because the shipping address got somehow changed at checkout (not what I typed in, but the billing address had to be right for my card to go through...), but they refused to correct the address.
DRONE EXPERT: when you fly behind a building the drone loses connection and it stops, it then flys upwards 20m (to clear buildings on way back) it then flys in a straight line back home to take off point, in NYC the buildings are so high, you need to set the drone to go up 100m higher or what ever you want to be sure to clear buildings on the staight path home. This said, i cant understand why it ended up in the drink! DJi should come and do an investigation, they should get you to re enact this and see what happens!!!!!!!!
I wonder if the DJI just stops (obstacle avoidance) if its on RTH because of going out of range/singal, if something is blocking its route? Been flying with DJI a while now, and never let the drone out of my site
Great Info Blu Brad and totally agree on the investigation. I preordered the Mavic about 4 days ago and this is very worrying. I would like to know if it was Casey's fault or some software glitch.
All these years later and I managed to crash mine. We told the story in our last video about it led to a relationship therapy session. Your a wild man and I love watching your stories
Casey didn't focus it properly in his other videos. Look up "Michael Shainblum DJI Mavic 4k test footage" and you can see how good the image quality is, honestly nearly on par with the Phantom 4.
he never learned to focus because he refuses to read an instruction book ...go to others for a better review...hes not doing DJI any favors acting like an idiot with their product
with ya bro, lost my mavic pro tonight, ended up finding it here while visiting nantucket, gimbal broke but happy to have it. and agree it is my fav filmmaking tool.
I hope dji does not send him another one, he does not deserve it the way he treats his equipment. they do not need him to help sell this one, it will literally sell itself. too bad he wasn't more careful with 2k drones, maybe if he had to buy all that crap he gets for free he would treat it just a little better.
You have never heard Casey's motto on equipment use. If he was always careful with it he'd never be able to conveniently get the shot. He prides convenience over the safety of the equipment because he wants to be able to get the shot when he can. It's why he used to strap his Phantom 4's to his backpack out of the case. But you misunderstand, most of the cameras he breaks and drones he breaks are paid for by him at the store. They're not cheap, but he wants to get the good shot as conveniently as possible.
+Soham He is right though. Casey would treat his stuff better if he wasn't just given it for free. Then again half this stuff is probably just shit he does to have interesting stuff in the vlogs.
I was thinking about that too, maybe he just records "road shots" previously, and then puts them in the part where he´s on the taxi, so it looks like its from that moment, while it was actually like half an hour before that? idk, that´s how I would do that.
The drone is gone? How did you manage to turn off the Return to Base function *and* shut down the controller *and* not register it with the FAA *and* not have the required FAA ID on it that would allow it to be returned to you? You shouldn't be allowed near drones. You break them, fly them illegally, and manage to defeat all the functions they have inbuilt to stop you losing them via OOR/signal loss failures.
iatsd what video did Casey say he did not register the drone with the FAA? What video goes over the complete surface of the drone to know if the registration sticker isn't applied? Pretty ignorant to jump to conclusions, you obviously don't understand the English language all that well, go to Webster's and search "prototype" jackass. All the haters please exit stage left
Casey did you know that you can insure your drone for around $60 a year thru state farm insurance with no deductible. They will replace it. Just found out today love your blogs keep up the awesome videos.
Sometimes when you travel, you have to choose to leave certain things behind if they do not fit in the luggage or are something that is not worth hanging on to. Its a shame since it probably was a decently fitting suit. Maybe it did not have sentimental value or was a gift and that was a hamper or clothing return instead. I am sure it will be donated to Goodwill or something.
Casey could have given it to a homeless person but he is too sentimental to film something like that ...the suit will find its way to someone who needs it hopefully and carry Casey's good vibes with it
Gotta be more careful man. It's just not smart having quadcopters flying around unmanned possibly damaging property/hurting somebody. You lost the hardest to lose drone ever made....
So far as I know, they should be flying back to where they launched once lost connection with the controller, and this is directed by GPS signal and the GPS coordinates of their "original point", which they have stored in their internal memories after taking off.
Auto-home has been a feature since APM 1.something back about 6 years ago. Especially in cities with tall buildings, GPS is wonky. It may auto-land if the battery gets close to dead (keep in mind the flight controller only pulls maybe a quarter watt, where the motors pull hundreds of watts, so even after the batteries are "dead" for flying, the FC/radio can keep on trucking for several hours.) My bet is it got tangled in a line on the boat and is just hanging out. Would be nice if it had a strobe.
You still didn't explain the out of range part. The mavic pro and phantom 4 is suppose to return home on its own, or at least back into range, unless Casey put the drone out of range at like 3% battery....
Well, he didn't know to focus it, so perhaps he didn't change the setting to return home. By default, it will auto land upon losing signal and I'm guessing he didn't change that.
Same thing happened. I lost my DJI P3S :(. I don't know if someone shot it from the sky while returning to home. RIP to your MAVIC... btw, love watching your vlogs you are absolutely awesome!
That sucks if you lose a drone easily.. some people like me save money for months to buy it ( Not talking about Casey.. I think any drone company should fix this issue. a person like me will save money for months to buy a drone and if I lose it in the air that would be really sad )
Yea, let me guess he flew it out of visual range again. ugh, therefore breaking the FAA rules again. Why dies he do this and then whine about it? If it's your favorite thing, you'd think he would be careful about losing it.
Well... I am not giving shit for losing his drone.. I just said it sucks that you can lose the drone easily... it's the company's fault.. a lot of people lost there drones and most of them saved months for it.. please read my comment before attacking me.. I am also an amateur filmmaker and Casey is a legend at it. it's hard to do what he does on a daily basis
i thought shit was about to suddenly get real when caseys sun glasses come off... someones somewhere has royally screwed up and are with in 5 minutes of getting a 14 inch diido up there ass without any lube. if shit happans ...its always going to be at the walmart store .
I think thats also one of the reason why he wore sunglasses so that his rough look dont terrify people/make people give a second thought before starting conversation cos he sometimes has little sleep at night I think his eye bag starts to wrinkle sooner/blackened look that gave him some hollow eye bag. Honestly, I tried to tweet him asking that very question "Whether people treat him differently when he wore glasses vs non-glasses" but never got picked.
Well, if the Mavic is waterproof (don't know) it may indeed be radioing it's GPS coordinates, but odds are that was simply the last thing it transmitted before succumbing to water infiltration. However, if you're really desperate for a drone of this design, you can always get yourself a Prodrone (now GDU)"Byrd". It had the folding arms and 4k resolution (& infrared) at this time LAST YEAR (you know, before DJI, etc. stole the design). Good luck.
Radio signals at normal power levels penetrate water up to some 40 centimeters... you wouldn't be receiving new coordinates even if it's alive. That's why ROVs don't use radio for remote control.
DJI drones are reliable that's why Casey can fly it above the river. In fact if you are a regular viewer(like me) he does drone shots with his P4 over NYC in his Vlogs almost everyday.
so, zero piloting skills needed? i really want to get into droning and do a flyover of my 6yo's kindergarden graduation. Will be sweet to get a super fast low pass of the little buggers graduating!
Jean Naipas Why does flying over the river present a risk? I mean other than the fact that the drones don't float. I'm wondering what more of a risk does it present versus flying over anything else? Surely the water didn't cause the fly away. I try to pay attention to solar activity not fly on days when it's bad because that can cause issues with the gps me radio signal but I've never heard of issues regarding water aside from the obvious. I lost orientation several hundred feet out over the lake here and almost panicked until I remembered how to regain orientation. Panicking is the worst thing you do.
+rrmcallister I don't think you're allowed to do that, there are regulations on how close you're allowed to fly over other people, and you need to get qualifications to do so. That's why the police told him to move.
ANY and EVERY Rc flier/pilot knows you put a sticker tag on there with your AMA information and name and contact info (at least phone number) so if found you MAY at least still get it back. PLUS some of the custom built drones (by us hobbiests) have GPS that when it looses signal it will AUTOMATICALLY return home. (unless it crashed before it lost sig of course) and will always show the gps coords in the video feed on our monitors. (not the recording though so camera men rest easy lol)
This guy is constantly doing irresponsible and downright dangerous things with his multirotors. Douchebags like Casey are the reason we responsible RC flyers have to put up with so much flak from the general public. Personally I'm glad he lost it.
1:56 - Amen... gotta be done... with a "thank you" to the room for being so great... 4:19 - Dude... I have NEVER been in an aircraft that looked like that... probably costs as much as a small car!
Ian Witten he was talking about the plane. But here's a heli too. That's a cool way to get to the airport. I've driven in NYC a lot and flew in and out often - going by helicopter instead of taxi would be awesome. The traffic is uh, a nightmare sometimes. :-/
Hopefully not! Hopefully, they start to treat his recklessness the same way they would treat one of us, which seems like it because they seemed to tell him to go search for it.
Most probably they will it's free advertising and Casey has shown a lot of love and exposure for their phantom 4 even buying a couple out of his pocket.
OMG I'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS
iJustine how's yours doing? Lol
how its possible to have 3 million subscribers and have only 100k views per videos ??
well she's not as popular
iJustine Bitches ain't shit amirite
nobody died
I think that might be a record for Casey. He managed around 7 days with the drone all in one piece.
DJI are on the right tracks! 😄
Nathan Caselton true
Nathan Caselton Half of their earnings are from Casey buying new drones 😂
+CаseyNeistat stop faking
I thought the exact same thing. Maybe he should look into a drone subscription or even better an Amazon Dash button.
For Casey, a drone is a consumable.
1:01 just remember, he had to do that about 4 times to get those shots.
That's dedication.
I'm amazed he still caught his flight.
Great catch, watching Casey has given me a newfound respect for film-making and editing for story.
I gotta ask though, why was that scene included at all?
iT'S BEING stupid!!!
It's called being professional...
Dji drone sales
68% USA
12% Europe
3% Australia
17% Casey
where's the other 10%?
Steven Milward are you dumb?
no 17% lol
They don't even sell them in China? WTF bro
What about China lmao
Ha, climbing over the fence 2-3 times just to get all the shots at 1:10 :)
Ah, the art of film making!
"get the shot"
Good job, casey
please. STFU
So funny 😂😂😂
literally you just have to post a decent comment in any of Casey's videos and you'll get at least 100 likes. One more reason for loving Casey.
I love meaningless Internet points, they make me feel good.
Gary McWhorter 😂😂. Well I just gave you one. I hope I made your day a little bit better.
You can have one too
all three of you get a like from me :D
Gaming With Chris
that ending do... too funny. "i seen you on that... that internet thing"
Omg I was cracking up
his facial expression was incredible
Hey! I know you from the internet!
obviously a big big fan!
"hey honey, come over here! this guy is from the internet!"
This Sean Penn channel is awesome!
LMAO
🏆 you win.
Sean Penn is more Handsome!
I like the way you roll, Beverly Hills Hotel, Limo to airport, first class, and then Helicopter transport home. Nice.
Yeah he's a dbag. Rolls like a dbag.
I sort of believe if you don't have something nice to say, best to not say it.
I am curious if he finds his drone ...
Such a dbag you cant stop watching, right?
Dbag hah i say he's anything but that :3
Aren't limos cheaper than taxis most times to and from the airport? That's my experience.
Do you guys sometimes think that casey does stuff 2 times so he can put his camera somewhere for a better angle
TharDaPower thats why he is The best at blogging and story telling, he makes think looks easy but they are not!!
No... I think he has cameras set up pretty much everywhere, all charged and waiting. Then, whenever he needs an angle, he triggers a nearby camera remotely with an app.
drstampfli that's what he does 👍🏽👍🏽
He has his own camera crew that follow him around.
everyone does that if they vlog
I always try to avoid watching Casey's videos when they come out so I can enjoy them in the morning, best way to start the day, (with a bacon & egg sandwich ofc).
I do just the opposite I won't watch until I go to bed which is now. What do you do to relax before you go to sleep.
I live in the UK so sometimes I am in bed anyway before they come out :) Not to bring science into this, but I was told that you should avoid moving images, (TV / video) before sleep because it wakes some part of the brain up, so I usually listen to some music :)
Laney Boggs we do that too!!!!
I watch after work, to wind down from the day. I can't eat bacon every day! Think of the cholesterol (never mind thinking of the pigs)!
I wish I could do that but my mornings consist of me waking up like 20 min til class starts then I bust my ass to get there.
Ah so it's you that's hogging the toilet when I needed to go..
Pyromaniac lol
Had I been in there before Casey got there ... he would have spent 2 seconds in there and then ran back to his seat LOL !!! :D
who else can tell casey was lowkey asking for a new drone without actually asking lol
He said, that he begged for a new drone and they toldd him to track his first.
He straight up said he begged. Nothing low key about it.
he does it with everything. he knows if he makes a video with a million views and asks for a new one that he will get a new one
fake account
Fuck this guy and fuck iPhone 7
CаseyNeistat stfu
today i really dig the music. more ambient. it completely changed the mood of the vlog. at least for me that is .
If you're reading this, I hope you have/had a good day!
:)
Mercy 😎
Jaeden Rotondo Merci*
merci
Thanks man! Kind gesture!
The video earned $3,500 so far and the drone company gave him a new one already.
Life is great on the RUclips money snowball.
its not as easy as you think
Not easy, just funny when they feel to post a revenue video as if they r dead broke and cannot just get another. But Casey is messing it up for real Drone pilots. I assume he has his FAA certification? If not he needs to demonotize his vids or someone is being bribed.
How is he messing it up for so called "real drone pilots"?
Whether or not he has his FAA certification is irrelevant to whether he's making money off the videos. Some of his drone shots were in violation of FAA drone rules, yes. But they were in violation regardless of whether he was making money off the videos. You don't get to break the rules just because you don't make money off the videos.
What if someone really needed the bathroom and you were just there chillin
Exactly what I was thinking, lol
Planes have more then one toilet you know.
what if there more than 4 people same time wanted to go to bathroom?
If Casey is chillin...you shit on your seat!
Right! lol
1:02-1:11 can we just take a moment to appreciate that Casey climbed over that gate 3 times to get that nice sequence?
Now I finally understand what that streamy award meant..
First person on a plane, of course :d
Pf how could I be so stupid to not understand it right away yesterday
hahaha
What the fuck are you on about
CаseyNeistat give me one i live in Manhattan to
Daan J this was the stupidest comment I've seen all day tbh
But don't dji drones come back automatically if they lose signal?
This is what i am thinking. It has a range of 5km. The only negative with this drone is the flight time.
Yea, if you set your home point. Also, there was a version of the DJI Go App that wasn't setting the home point accurately and causing flyaways, but I'm pretty sure this video was made long before that unstable version of the app.
27 minutes is a good flight time you know
Thomas P not if it loses GPS signal
Thomas P actually, they dont. I know bc I have one.
We foresaw this Casey.. and we're not psychic.. ...
In some form you are physics.
I'm giving away 100 f... you
Report this guy impersonating casey with the spam/malware url above ^
respond to me plz
Thanks Casey! I got two!!!!
Where's the drone rescue team at?
:| Mavicccc
A Team is in new mexico atm
whoa
I think he flew the drone over there and landed it & used that clip for him climbing down the fence. that's how think he did it.
Im on it bro
I bet the price of casey's helicopter rides cost more than my monthly rent
Its $250
if you're rent is that cheap where do you live, helicopter rides aren't expensive. Well it depends on your destination
It is. I have done it with work.
Seal I paid 160 dollars from JFK to manhattan and it's only 7 minutes flight and taxi takes over an hour
Almost guaranteed he gets them for free
I am getting a Mavic as soon as they are out, and I have you to blame, LOL.
Casey>Roman
Come at me haters.
haters
Don't think there's actually a single hater for that.
Oscar Leal I watch them both everyday. And yeah, no offense Roman, it's true
gtfo you're so edgy
This Casey account is FAKE, please report
Casey YOU DRONE IS ON THE BOAT! How can it still be transmitting power if its in the river? I doubt even if its "waterproof" the battery is still working if it's under water... Or its just completely gone.
Exactly!
just imagine sitting on your boat reading a book and a fucking drone falls out of the sky onto you
Someone probably found it on the ground and took it onto that boat.
+Aedesius That's exactly what I was thinking
he it tracking its last gps signal from the flight log that is recorded on the dji app. If it loses signal it would return to home!!!
casey looks so young with his haircut!! who agrees??
lol, he is in the middle of 30s of course he looks young
Nicole Arnedo lmao he's not like 50
+Allaboutme Casey normally looks in his 40s....he should keep his hair like this all the time looks way better.
I know, I'm just saying he looks EVEN younger with a nice, sleek haircut! (:
Like a little baby face👶🏻
I never owned anything cool in my life BUT......!!! my subscribers on my tiny little youtube channel actually just bought me a Mavic and it is charging right now as I type this. So stoked! Lovin your work Casey. U R a genius bro!
Those shots from the drone at the beginning of the video sent me a strong GTA V vibe
juan gomez it was kind of like the intro to a new game
juan gomez or a old game, gta 4
Yeah, like when the game make some sort of transitions or something.
I just realized something. Unless he had two cameras set up. Casey had to climb that fence at the begging at least 4 times. One to get over to set up camera. Again to get back over then again to get the shot. Then one more time for the shot from behind.
this is the reason he won an award, when you look at any episode properly and what went behind making it, you get to appreciate good artists and the effort they put into it
check out nerdwriter1 here on youtube, he made a video about how casey tells his stories. It's awesome and eye-opening.
yeah, I've noticed that for a while now. Can you imagine if you were hanging out with him? Let's leave.. "okay, np. I have to walk in & out of the room 4 times to get every angle for my vlog". Most of the time he's by himself. But I wonder what people think when they see him do something 2-3 times over and over again when they randomly see him on the streets or hotel. I give him so much credit for not caring what people think. I could never talk into a camera I'm holding myself in front of others. Or at least it would take me a while to get used to it.
Marco Carbognani That's exactly what he does lol
oh man i remember when i used to steal helicopters from that place you landed. good memories
oh I get it lol gta4 memories
and Gta V memories at LAX
Luke Zeus lmao sameeeee
i thought the exact same thing!!! im so glad its not just me
XD #GTAVImemories. But srsly, i almost thought that you did that for real... XD
Honestly when looking for the cab u ordered u should say "who are you here for?" Instead of here for casey.
Ah, I'm jealous of you being able to travel all over the place. I love the feeling of hotel hopping from place to place and always being on the move. It's nice to have a home base but travel just feeds my soul. The airport hustle and bustle. The plane. The minor anxiety before leaving. The ritualistic hello and goodbye to the hotel room. The feeling of just being out of your normal location and routine. It's intoxicating.
such a beautiful perspective
Just from the videos I watched of you handling your equipment. You kind of deserve this. You're very careless with such expensive fragile equipment.
expensive equipment to this tribesman, is like a penny is to you.
Very well said. Casey treats this equipment like a kid treats a toy.
God only knows where this drone landed, who he may have hit, or what property it could have damaged on its way down.
Irresponsibility is frowned upon in the Drone Industry, just because you are a RUclips celebrity does not make you special.
Fucking up with a drone hurts the rest of us who actually try to follow the rules and try to fly responsibly! Be conscious of the community which you are affecting.
Casey does not deserve a Mavic, specially not a second one. I don't care if it was a problem with the drone or not.
Sorry man. Go take the Part 107 testing and get your FAA commercial license. You are operating in no-fly zones, and illegal/dangerous locations constantly.
In short, you are doing it wrong and its only time before we see you on a blog being put behind bars. Just do it right buddy, we know you mean well.
Well a $1000 dollar done is a toy.
$14,000+ cinema drones are not.. Which is what I fly for shoots.
Also a drone that small falling would cause less damage than a golf ball or baseball. but I don't see anyone crying on line when a $5.00 baseball takes out a $500 windshield or $1000 french bay window.
Kobe Wild to be more accurate these size copters weigh approx 1.5kgs...thats surely more like a claw hammer raining down on unsuspecting citezens in NY city. which is illegal i might add, and bloody leathal
Not exactly more "accurate", but rather another microcosm. As a claw hammer has points at both ends of it. Also the claw will not crush, under impact, and absorb some of the energy that is being exerted. The psi of the collision could change dramatically depending on where it made contact.
Went sailing yesterday on that pier. Let's just say Casey's drone is now for sale on eBay
unlikely
New Yorker's are cooler than that.
Aw shit , It's my favorite youtuber commenting on my second favorites video :D
New Yorkers are cool? lol idk about all that, Roy...
did you steal it?
Casey.. I was never much into Quad copters. After winning a Phantom 3 at work. Charging the controller and drone battery a couple nights later. I took off with my first flight. At first it was like a kid in a candy shop. Watching the copter hover at eye level. Slowly I moved the drone higher and higher in the air. Seconds later, it slowly drifted backward with no response.. crashed into a tree being stuck two .. almost three floors high. A cold freezing night. I put up a ladder and climbed a tree with the garden tool. I climbed the tree until the branches were too thin. I used the garden tool and finally knocked the drone free from the tree. It came crashing down and surprising it landed right on the landing gear. I thought almost no damage occurred. Later I learned it cost me a ribbon cable, housing and center board. Then I thought maybe the Mavic was the way to go..I am happy to watch your video.. It has saved me alot of money I believe..
Dude I'm actually bummed out for you.. Did you ever get to check the boat?
I have a good feeling you'll find it, you have good karma after all
it's gone buddy.
Was that a subtle bash on gopro?
Hey, I've subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to it.
Casey is super smart, if his drone is actually gone and he's making all these free hype videos for DJI I cant imagine that they wouldn't send him another... ;)
"Yeah.... You are that famous guy, I saw you... Yeahhh are you Carlos Trindad?
Ahahhaha
That was funny😂

WTF MY UNCLE IS THE PILOT IN TH SHOT AT 4:00!
No, thats my dad, and you r no family
no thats my mom and u r not family
Shut up its my dog
I don't think you'll ever read this but you've inspired me in ways I couldn't have imagined when I first saw you here on RUclips.
Casey does a little too much for some of his shots. He climbed over that gate, set his camera down, climbed back over, and then climbed BACK over to get the shot of him climbing over.
That's the whole point of film making getting the shot!
That's just one of the things that sets him apart from other vloggers. Persistance.
adrian miranda I know but it seems like a little much to get a shot of not a whole lot.
When you have a passion for something its just fun not work.
Agreed. It just didn't flow naturally like he usually manages to do, even in other more complex shots. I was surprised.
The people on the boat probably spotted it and were on the run ;)
Did it ever appear?
Watching Casey's vlogs has become a daily ritual and I feel like I'm missing something if I don't watch one day
Julian Soley same here
Casey "we got the red and blue silhouetting the city. Me: I CAN'T HEAR A THING YOU'RE SAYING
7:00 is when he talks about thr drone
Thanks bro
you the real MVP
Alex Vicaire is a robotic and the only thing that she does not have to be is a
Seemal Shahid I am a male human
Dont know why this guy speak about his life, I just want to see the drone problems!
Why do I keep getting bombarded with vids by this channel?
I know, me too. I've watched a couple of this yuppie buttpuppet's vids, and really don't understand how or why he gets the traffic. As stupid, bland and boring as content gets. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Yup, this channel is pretty damn sad alright.
Its popularity is surely an indictment upon the intelligence of its fans.
The stupid is strong in these ones.
I have watched it a few times over the last year and I don't get it. I think it is like the old twitter where people would log on and tell people to tell them what to eat for breakfast etc... Seriously, this guy's life is far and above 99% of the viewers watching him regularly. Maybe that is it people dreaming they had his lifestyle like the braindeads that watch Kim K all the time? I only tuned in to see how he lost his mavic but I couldn't take more than the first 4 mins.
*****
Yup, same here. I wanted to see what happened to his new Mavic, but I just couldn't deal with the drivel that forms the basis of his utterly inane videos.
Knowing Casey, he was the sole cause of the technical failure of that drone.
*****
Yep, on all counts. I still can't figure out what his vids are all about except maybe to show off like Kim K. Wonder why they didn't slap him up on E! instead of YT?
Thats how you know you made it to the big time! When you take a helicopter to Manhattan instead of an Uber or someone picking you up. Casey got that 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰🤑🤑🤑🤑💰💰💰
Anyone who listens to your videos is missing the whole point. Your "cuts" are outstanding. I am late to the party and am binge watching your videos. Hope someone didn't have to take a dump during your "me time".
My name is Tully and I'm addict to Casey Vlogs
HUHHHHH
You need to get out more.
me too!! ^
Hey Tully, thank you for being honest
are you living at riverrun right now?

*CASEY YOU'RE SUCH AN INSPIRATION! YOU MAKE THE BEST VLOGS! I FINALLY HIT 3,000 SUBSCRIBERS I HOPE I CAN GET 5 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS LIKE YOU ONE DAY!❤*
💯💯
FUCK YOU
#RUclipsFailure - You never will when you advertise like this.
Casey, you have marked your luggage you have engraved your laptop and you're not even put your contact info on a drone? as soon as it lifts off I would be worried if I ever see it again so putting your information on is least you can do to bring it home in case its lost. I'm sure you have your drone back by now its time to mark it
Things I Do if casey has registered his drone with the FAA (mandatory) then his name will be linked with the serial number on the drone
CMP true but there are a lot of people who don't care to mess with it + seeing Casey how busy he is im sure he never registerd it same goes for all his gear ..it's much easier to call. I have my contacts on the back of my phone.... hope I never loose it. Peace!
Scamming impersonating piece of shit you need to be reported and banned
+Rusty Shackleford
Amen bro.... body slam those jackboot twinkies
prop
Things I Do spongebob ain't giving it back, even if it had Casey's name on it.
i feel like casey was more excited about the pants than he was about the streamy award
I believe you are correct
He was lol.
Mack Abbot , can you blame him?
Mack Abbot because no one cares about streamys
don't get me wrong, I would feel the same way
Love reading the comments section.
Damnit Casey, I lost the bet with a friend on when you were going to destroy/lose the Mavic, he said one week I said 3 weeks! I mean why?!? How?!?!
YOU'RE_A_SCUMBAG!!
Does not look like it was Casey's fault on this one, it is Probably not out yet - (BECAUSE) they most Likely KNOW there is a +++Glitch in the Software+++ (maybe at a certain distance maybe??? -- but they DEFINITELY do NOT want to tell Casey THIS cause they KNOW he will be (HONEST) with over 5 Million People and they want the DJi LAUNCH to go PERFECTLY (so they LET him THINK it is his fault and it is NOT)-- NOT Casey's Fault (on this one) he is ADVENTURE MAGNET, but he KNEW he could not just go to the store on this one, so he would NOT loose it (carelessly). Agreed!
S Jk doesn't matter if it's his fault or not the drone is gone lol that's all that matters
@NEC9540 I normally do not refute my point, but that is a Brilliant analogy! Would be SMART too!!!
LOL!
Holy Shit
Whats with all the hate towards Casey
Being irresponsible and unnacountable for some kinda serious stuff with flying/crashing drones in dangerous places which not only could go badly and cause injury, but negatively affects the drone/rc hobbyist/racing global community.
Maybe people who don't know how to use products shouldn't get advance access to them. Just a thought.
Maybe shit happens and fly aways are unavoidable even when you've followed all the correct operating procedures? Jesus, I hope none of you have children. They're probably kept awake at night wondering why they never do anything right.
Unfortunately fly aways happen. My phantom 4 was gone on Sep 24th contacted DJI couple of days after; until now Oct 12th. no data analysis provided or results. They are so slow in terms of costumer service or i'm just one of the few victims? Calgary snowed already probably the drone that flew away is unusable...
Sorry about your drone! Their customer service is a total joke, and there's no number to call to speak to anyone. Live chat, or email, if you call and talk to tech support you get someone with rough english who tells you you need to go online to the chat...had to cancel my Mavic order because the shipping address got somehow changed at checkout (not what I typed in, but the billing address had to be right for my card to go through...), but they refused to correct the address.
DRONE EXPERT: when you fly behind a building the drone loses connection and it stops, it then flys upwards 20m (to clear buildings on way back) it then flys in a straight line back home to take off point, in NYC the buildings are so high, you need to set the drone to go up 100m higher or what ever you want to be sure to clear buildings on the staight path home. This said, i cant understand why it ended up in the drink! DJi should come and do an investigation, they should get you to re enact this and see what happens!!!!!!!!
I wonder if the DJI just stops (obstacle avoidance) if its on RTH because of going out of range/singal, if something is blocking its route? Been flying with DJI a while now, and never let the drone out of my site
Blu Brad but it has sensors to stop it from colliding into a building.
Great Info Blu Brad and totally agree on the investigation. I preordered the Mavic about 4 days ago and this is very worrying. I would like to know if it was Casey's fault or some software glitch.
What I don't get, is if it has GPS, the second it loses signal, why doesn't it trace its GPS route back to the takeoff point?
Maybe it crashed somewhere else, and someone found it and brought with them when they went for a boat ride?
All these years later and I managed to crash mine. We told the story in our last video about it led to a relationship therapy session. Your a wild man and I love watching your stories
you should upload a 2h mix of all your typical background music, the tracks are all very..."accentuating", like your own style
He has a soundcloud page if ur interested
thx Primož Mulec (who for some reason got marked as spam) and Red, I'll check for the soundcloud page as well :)
love his tunes so much
There's a pretty decent spotify playlist someone put together!

Nmmkkkkk
The image quality from that drone was not so hot.
The lens isn't as good as your GoPro drone.
it was just out of focus, he said it on twitter
Casey didn't focus it properly in his other videos. Look up "Michael Shainblum DJI Mavic 4k test footage" and you can see how good the image quality is, honestly nearly on par with the Phantom 4.
he never learned to focus because he refuses to read an instruction book ...go to others for a better review...hes not doing DJI any favors acting like an idiot with their product
+whatadollslife you're a fucking weirdo who collects dolls...
Casey--I find so much enjoyment and inspiration from your videos! Thanks for your solid work, and sorry about your drone 🙁
with ya bro, lost my mavic pro tonight, ended up finding it here while visiting nantucket, gimbal broke but happy to have it. and agree it is my fav filmmaking tool.
I hope dji does not send him another one, he does not deserve it the way he treats his equipment. they do not need him to help sell this one, it will literally sell itself. too bad he wasn't more careful with 2k drones, maybe if he had to buy all that crap he gets for free he would treat it just a little better.
someone's jealous here. 😶
You have never heard Casey's motto on equipment use.
If he was always careful with it he'd never be able to conveniently get the shot. He prides convenience over the safety of the equipment because he wants to be able to get the shot when he can.
It's why he used to strap his Phantom 4's to his backpack out of the case. But you misunderstand, most of the cameras he breaks and drones he breaks are paid for by him at the store. They're not cheap, but he wants to get the good shot as conveniently as possible.
+Soham He is right though. Casey would treat his stuff better if he wasn't just given it for free. Then again half this stuff is probably just shit he does to have interesting stuff in the vlogs.
S/V Alliance he bought it tho
***** - I bet your drone footage is stationary and stale.
Does Casey make the taxi driver stop every 15min to take the drone shots?
I was thinking about that too, maybe he just records "road shots" previously, and then puts them in the part where he´s on the taxi, so it looks like its from that moment, while it was actually like half an hour before that?
idk, that´s how I would do that.
that was just a random taxi cab
Rogther I think he does that too
I'm sure the cab driver will not mind when Casey gives a tip
He either does it and pays for the fare as the meter would still be running anyway, or does it later and just finds a random one
At 1:38 Casey gives zero shits about global warming.
Ameri Pat Hey look Ameri Pat, Excuse My French is another one of those "tolerant" liberals! Lol
pollution man,... always in a plane or an helicopter,... massive carbone bill
redwhitentrue not a liberal, i just have one iota of a brain cell to understand climate change is real unlike Ameri Pat and your fucking dumbass.
fuck global warming.
Wow there are some ignorant fools on this thread. Just plain, no book smarts, ignorant ass, fools. And yeah, it's called climate change...
I was on that flight waiting to use the restroom, I almost wet my pants while someone was getting "me time."
This sucks. Looks like Casey had the first official Mavic flyaway
=\
its not a fly away, he lost it cause hes stupid AF
R8ters gonna r8
CradyLab fly away my ass. Pilot error
I was trying to be polite =)
Or that.
Both good
The drone is gone? How did you manage to turn off the Return to Base function *and* shut down the controller *and* not register it with the FAA *and* not have the required FAA ID on it that would allow it to be returned to you? You shouldn't be allowed near drones. You break them, fly them illegally, and manage to defeat all the functions they have inbuilt to stop you losing them via OOR/signal loss failures.
iatsd shut up you fuck
Aww, looky - one of Casey's intellectual support team has arrived.
+iatsd haha! thx 4 the laugh
"not have the required FAA ID on it that would allow it to be returned to you"
This, never happen.
iatsd what video did Casey say he did not register the drone with the FAA? What video goes over the complete surface of the drone to know if the registration sticker isn't applied? Pretty ignorant to jump to conclusions, you obviously don't understand the English language all that well, go to Webster's and search "prototype" jackass. All the haters please exit stage left
Studying can wait... Casey put up a video
same
lol
yup
I know, right??
exactly
Casey did you know that you can insure your drone for around $60 a year thru state farm insurance with no deductible. They will replace it. Just found out today love your blogs keep up the awesome videos.
Did you throw away a suit? I saw a shirt with cufflinks in the hotel trash can under the table when you left. Crazy.
dude ...good catch lol
Sometimes when you travel, you have to choose to leave certain things behind if they do not fit in the luggage or are something that is not worth hanging on to. Its a shame since it probably was a decently fitting suit. Maybe it did not have sentimental value or was a gift and that was a hamper or clothing return instead. I am sure it will be donated to Goodwill or something.
Casey could have given it to a homeless person but he is too sentimental to film something like that ...the suit will find its way to someone who needs it hopefully and carry Casey's good vibes with it
They may have had to cut up the shirt to work around the safety harness under the suit for the helicopter stunt.
The hotel gave casey the suit for rent to go to the streamys

Gotta be more careful man. It's just not smart having quadcopters flying around unmanned possibly damaging property/hurting somebody. You lost the hardest to lose drone ever made....
Eh, it was probably stolen by TechRax and he destroyed it for views.

Shouldn't drone has a 'return to base' mode whenever it lost connection?
So far as I know, they should be flying back to where they launched once lost connection with the controller, and this is directed by GPS signal and the GPS coordinates of their "original point", which they have stored in their internal memories after taking off.
Yeah so why didn't Casey's do that? Still some bugs maybe
Could be any of dozens of issues: (so sorry Casey, same feeling here only P2)
1. Didn't calibrate when flying in new location (prior flight in LA)
2. Software bug in:
3. - IMU
4. - GPS/GLONASS
5. - Controller
6. - Proximity sensor
7. - ESC
8. - Power management
9. Hardware fault in:
10 - IMU
11. - GPS/GLONASS
12. - Accelerometer/gyroscope
13. - Controller
14. - Proximity sensor
15. - Motor
16. - ESC
16. - Props
17. - Power bus
18. - Battery
19. - Wiring
20. - Solder joint
21. RFI (including jammer)
22. Magnetic issue
23. Human factor
...
lol Casey only makes these videos so DJI will send him 2 more by personal delivery
that would make a boring video if it worked
How did he lose a drone that in what DJI claims is not possible to lose? What happened to the "if your out of range" it auto returns home?
Auto-home has been a feature since APM 1.something back about 6 years ago. Especially in cities with tall buildings, GPS is wonky. It may auto-land if the battery gets close to dead (keep in mind the flight controller only pulls maybe a quarter watt, where the motors pull hundreds of watts, so even after the batteries are "dead" for flying, the FC/radio can keep on trucking for several hours.)
My bet is it got tangled in a line on the boat and is just hanging out. Would be nice if it had a strobe.
You still didn't explain the out of range part. The mavic pro and phantom 4 is suppose to return home on its own, or at least back into range, unless Casey put the drone out of range at like 3% battery....
Or it got snagged, and *then* went dead while trying to right itself, etc.
Well, he didn't know to focus it, so perhaps he didn't change the setting to return home. By default, it will auto land upon losing signal and I'm guessing he didn't change that.
he didn't re-calibrate the compass :(
Same thing happened. I lost my DJI P3S :(. I don't know if someone shot it from the sky while returning to home. RIP to your MAVIC... btw, love watching your vlogs you are absolutely awesome!
That sucks if you lose a drone easily.. some people like me save money for months to buy it ( Not talking about Casey.. I think any drone company should fix this issue. a person like me will save money for months to buy a drone and if I lose it in the air that would be really sad )
Well that's racist...
Yea, let me guess he flew it out of visual range again. ugh, therefore breaking the FAA rules again. Why dies he do this and then whine about it? If it's your favorite thing, you'd think he would be careful about losing it.
Well... I am not giving shit for losing his drone.. I just said it sucks that you can lose the drone easily... it's the company's fault.. a lot of people lost there drones and most of them saved months for it.. please read my comment before attacking me.. I am also an amateur filmmaker and Casey is a legend at it. it's hard to do what he does on a daily basis
Mohamed Merabet sorry misunderstood your comment, there's just so many people dissing casey about loosing shit
it's okay :) thanks for apologising I also started to do some vlogs and I see how hard is it to film some high quality entertaining vlogs everyday
Vape Nati Y'all!

Karma is better, get it when it comes out
why
Conway actually it's not.
Conway karma sucks
#karmasucks
I'm still a loyal GoPro fan, and I used to dislike DJI. Now, as a guy who has built two drones, I say Mavic is the killer! and Karma is meh..
Hey Casey. I enjoy your camera/editing skills, but it's the music that keeps me tuning in.
Keep up the good work 👍🏼
And, you're a good dad
I saw this coming a long time ago
we just lost our other drone. only it was a 3dr solo
maybe he is faking the lost to get bucks from this vid
Casey checked through a lot of your videos... AND you almost NEVER say "Back at the airport"... Just saying!
Not even in your viral video...
Nice try.
you know what he does say 500 times "I'm late for my flight" lol
What about "Thank you, byebye." when boarding off a plane?
I think this is spam
The barber did a great job with your hair Casey.
So many droners who don't even follow Casey..All I know is the My Precious clip was probably the most I've laughed in years.
You look scary without glasses
mike hunt nobodies perfect but I agree
i thought shit was about to suddenly get real
when caseys sun glasses come off... someones somewhere has royally screwed up and are with in 5 minutes of getting a 14 inch diido up there ass without any lube.
if shit happans ...its always going to be at the walmart store
.
I like his look. Especially the huge grin, I always end up smiling watching Casey's videos!
I think thats also one of the reason why he wore sunglasses so that his rough look dont terrify people/make people give a second thought before starting conversation cos he sometimes has little sleep at night I think his eye bag starts to wrinkle sooner/blackened look that gave him some hollow eye bag.
Honestly, I tried to tweet him asking that very question "Whether people treat him differently when he wore glasses vs non-glasses" but never got picked.
Says the guy with an 05' emo hair cut
Well, if the Mavic is waterproof (don't know) it may indeed be radioing it's GPS coordinates, but odds are that was simply the last thing it transmitted before succumbing to water infiltration. However, if you're really desperate for a drone of this design, you can always get yourself a Prodrone (now GDU)"Byrd". It had the folding arms and 4k resolution (& infrared) at this time LAST YEAR (you know, before DJI, etc. stole the design). Good luck.
Astute observations, as always!
Well, the most likely scenario is that somebody just found the drone and is currently selling it on ebay from that boat.
Radio signals at normal power levels penetrate water up to some 40 centimeters... you wouldn't be receiving new coordinates even if it's alive. That's why ROVs don't use radio for remote control.
Correct, it would've had to have been very close to the surface, if not floating.
It's a shame for your mavic. Flying over the river presents a risk.
DJI has not yet learned to drones to swim.
you made me laugh hahah
DJI drones are reliable that's why Casey can fly it above the river. In fact if you are a regular viewer(like me) he does drone shots with his P4 over NYC in his Vlogs almost everyday.
so, zero piloting skills needed? i really want to get into droning and do a flyover of my 6yo's kindergarden graduation. Will be sweet to get a super fast low pass of the little buggers graduating!
Jean Naipas Why does flying over the river present a risk? I mean other than the fact that the drones don't float. I'm wondering what more of a risk does it present versus flying over anything else? Surely the water didn't cause the fly away.
I try to pay attention to solar activity not fly on days when it's bad because that can cause issues with the gps me radio signal but I've never heard of issues regarding water aside from the obvious.
I lost orientation several hundred feet out over the lake here and almost panicked until I remembered how to regain orientation. Panicking is the worst thing you do.
+rrmcallister I don't think you're allowed to do that, there are regulations on how close you're allowed to fly over other people, and you need to get qualifications to do so. That's why the police told him to move.
I totally forgot that this video was about losing the Mavic. Great video Casey.
ANY and EVERY Rc flier/pilot knows you put a sticker tag on there with your AMA information and name and contact info (at least phone number) so if found you MAY at least still get it back. PLUS some of the custom built drones (by us hobbiests) have GPS that when it looses signal it will AUTOMATICALLY return home. (unless it crashed before it lost sig of course) and will always show the gps coords in the video feed on our monitors. (not the recording though so camera men rest easy lol)
This guy is constantly doing irresponsible and downright dangerous things with his multirotors. Douchebags like Casey are the reason we responsible RC flyers have to put up with so much flak from the general public. Personally I'm glad he lost it.
1:56 - Amen... gotta be done... with a "thank you" to the room for being so great...
4:19 - Dude... I have NEVER been in an aircraft that looked like that... probably costs as much as a small car!
askjerry -are you joking? More like several million dollars. Even the helicopter would be close to a million.
I meant the TICKET for the flight... obviously the aircraft is in the 100M range... :- )
Rand in Motion nope it's a helicopter service in NYC it costs 200 bucks to get to the airport from that place
4:11 - That is NOT a helicopter... Casey even says, "I'm the first person on the PLANE".
Ian Witten he was talking about the plane. But here's a heli too. That's a cool way to get to the airport. I've driven in NYC a lot and flew in and out often - going by helicopter instead of taxi would be awesome. The traffic is uh, a nightmare sometimes. :-/
1:10 you probably climbed that door 5 times to get all those shots.
you: I have a drone!
about two weeks later: I lost my drone.
Fly your Phantom 4 to the sailboat with a grappler... see if it's there, and if it is... RESCUE MISSION #2!!
So did DJI agree to give him a new Mawic drone like he wanted? If they do that then they are unbelievable.
Hopefully not! Hopefully, they start to treat his recklessness the same way they would treat one of us, which seems like it because they seemed to tell him to go search for it.
Most probably they will it's free advertising and Casey has shown a lot of love and exposure for their phantom 4 even buying a couple out of his pocket.
I get the feeling a lot of people just comment on his video's saying something nice to everyone just for the likes on the comment.
didnt even know there was likes on the comments
When did Sean Penn get a drone?
