sirhilsam it was scary but at same time I recall him saying it’s a low altitude chute being its weight The deployment of the chute was flawless in my opinion. It was scary though I thought for sure it malfunctioned. But low altitude with the weight of the p4 and the chute. Again I’d say it was a flawless deployment 👌
@@MrNorthstar50 A tether going from a hole in the side of the cap to the side of the thing like a hinge would be good. Although then it could get stuck on the hinge... hmmm No matter how I think of it I think ur right. The next logical thing then would to just make the fuckin thing cheaper. $250 that's nuts. You're basicalyl spending $250 to save something worth $800 one time. IDK man I just don't know. If yours is the pro 2000$ version then sure I guess it's worth it. But a phantom should not be worth 2000$ anyway.
Never a fan of these from the minute i seen them, imo the chute is too small and the price is too high. They could have made the canopy larger for a slower descent. That drone got off light landing in an area with pretty tall grass that helped cushion the impact, had that been regular pavement it would have taken quite a bit of damage.
1) Won't help if you fly over water 2) Needs a high altitude to increase the chances of a successful deployment 3) Having no spare case components as standard in the box and having to order new parts when activated 4) Having a electronic component on the satalite receivers 5) Costs It needs a MKII version that can deploy at lower altitudes without losing parts each time! Great review Dustin Dunhill 👍
Ask them to make the caps bright orange and or have them tied to the casing. It does not matter if they get tangled on the props, that's the least of your concerns. Awesome video Dustin!!! Kudos!
This deserves way more views and likes because it is edited very well and you summed up everything perfectly in the video and answered all my questions. Thank you.
Very nice videos... you had a valuable assistant indeed. I have an 11 years old daughter and the most important matter in my life is to share moments with her... you are a dad who will be remembered...
Great real life review. I had wondered about it blocking the GPS antenna. When it deployed , I thought "good luck recovering those two white parts in that grass!"
That may well have had something to do with the re-packing. Then again this should be more than a single use piece of kit. Great video, I think your daughter can fly better than me.
HOLY SH!T Dustin!.....I was biting my nails the whole time!! I have my own automatic parachute system that I can use on my drones or fixed-wing RC airplanes that I have been working on for the past two years and when I test it I try to never use anything that's more than $100 in value! You doing it with an expensive DJI Phantom like that,......."'I was losing my mind' because I know how some of my tests go!!
Wow, that was extremely close! Glad the SafeAir parachute worked. Can't believe you actually risked your Phantom 4 Pro V2 to test it! Also great work getting all the angles
When you pack the chute, put the lines at the bottom of the container, then canopy on top. Should speed up the deployment in theory. Do not know much about drones, but have significant experience skydiving :)
Good point. I used a second "factory packed" chute for the drone test that had never been deployed prior. May be a good idea for them to pack with a dry lubricant from factory.
Great video Dustin!!! Having your daughter join you on these little drone adventures is so awesome. It makes me want to take my twin daughters out flying with me. I need to save a bit so I can get 2 more drones for them. Love your reviews brother!!!
I have a young daughter as well, and I am trying to find a sub 200 dollar drone, for her to fly with me out in the country. I love that you included her!!! Great Dad skills man!
No reason why dji or other manufacturers can't build a drone with one. Would be more peace of mind when flying that if your drone does decide it wants to imitate a Brick that it's going to descend slower and hopefully not cause any damage or injuries, as well as minimising the damage the drone takes as well. These aftermarket solutions are just too small and don't slow the drone enough. There's one company that does a "mars" parachute that can have 2 or so chutes attached, but the chute is seperate from the triggering device which can be manually activated or activated by a module on the drone.
@577AllWell A crash due to power failure is rare but a crash due to Birds spotting a Drone and taking it on is more common. A bird knocked my parrot anafi out of the air a couple of months back when i was flying over a nature area, i've also had instances where seagulls spotted it and began circling and coming very close to it. Obviously this setup is too big for an anafi but i also have a phantom 3 pro which this would work for. If anything it's just a bit of reassurance that if something does go tits up and the chute deploys it's not going to do much if any damage when it lands, to people, property or the drone. But the chute for this imo is far too small and their demos of it on their channel show the drone landing pretty hard when it's used. I really don't know why they didn't go with a larger canopy, it's not as if the drone has some vast weight that the chute has to support, yes the overall package would have to be a bit bigger but if that's the difference between the drone hitting the ground with a smack or a soft landing it's worthwhile.
May be they should tether the plastic cover and the tray on a separate string so they don’t get lost. Good thing you went up 350 feet any less and splat!!! No more drone! I’m not saying they should go back to the drawing board but there are improvements to be made. Great review as always. 🤙
Yea good idea like maybe it could be set up to pop off a certain direction with magnets on the cap and under piece as well as on the drone or side of the drone , and they swing to the each other
With a large screen I was able to track both of those pieces ejecting from the parachute. The smaller one actually landed pretty close to the drone but the larger pc went way off to the right.
You would think that it all would be connected together so you wouldn't loose parts! Nice job on repacking the parachute and your daughter did a great job at flying and filming! Take care and God bless!
Impressive setup! Loved that you actually had 3 drones in the air at the same time to try and capture the footage. Hats off to your daughter as well for helping out on that flight. Poor light Phantom! That was a risky move testing those parachutes....still, a little to close for comfort for me. Those chutes should have deployed sooner in my opinion...anyone on the ground would not have had much time to get out of the way. Still work to be done here in my opinion but a step in the right direction.
Great review Dustin. But come on, $399 for the Mavic version …. No Thanks ...If this product was like $100 then maybe …and as for the spare cover and cage they sell them in sets of 2 for $29 bucks... Money machine.
My personal opinion is, their goal isn't so much for the hobbyist to get his to protect their drones, this is more geared towards commercial pilots looking for ways to prove they are flying safely and protecting people, not the drone (if they wanted to fly over people, if that ends up being allowed or if they have a waiver, etc) so they justify that price point and make no mistake, commercial pilots would pay for it. Whether or not that's both correct and if it is, if it's the best business plan, who knows... just my take on it.
@@JasonStPierre As others have said, I think the parachute in this particular instance was a little slow to deploy. I've watched a few other reviews of the same parachute and it seems to have a nice controlled descent on those.
Wow Dustin, I thought your Phantom was a goner there for a second!! The chute slowed it just enough wow... holy smokes!! Awesome video, I loved that you had all the angles!! Having the two other drones up to film was awesome!! Keep up the good work!!🤙🤙
Hey Dustin..... Just want you to know your the reason I'm in to drones. Your video are awesome and I'm always excited to watch your range test I even mention your channel in some of my videos keep up the awesome work and keep flying 👍👍👍👍👍
Boy, I watched this video quite a few times and it appears the two pieces landed pretty far from each other, and from where the drone landed! Don't like that at all! Wonder why they didn't come up with some way to keep them all together? Maybe they just get in the way? Great video!
I’ve always said you are very brave to test out these gadgets. It’s pretty good, but it seems like they need to tweak it for a faster response time for deployment of the chute. Great video!
@@davoodghandaly2152 What's wrong with being careful And if you must know I'll be careful by flying at a higher altitude so the parachute has more time to deploy.
Dustin your a brave man trying something like this out lol, it did work quite well though but I totally agree they should definitely include two lids, happy flying bud 👍
Oh man I thought that Dronewas a goner Dustin , the parachute opened at the last second . I totally agree , for that price , it should come with extra parts . Great Job on the review , keep them coming .
Usually we're flying lower and if it takes 80 feets to deploy... it's close to useless thing. It also can deploy by accident and adds extra weight... So maybe it's useful only if you flying in very dangerous place like parking of Bentley cars )) But... IT'S CRAZY review Dustin! As always! Thank you for this great video :)
Thanks. Parazero says it can deploy successfully at 30ft or higher. In this situation it deployed correctly at about 200ft but the chute did not fill with air until the last second. I think it was an issue of the chute material sticking to itself in this instance.
Great review. You have a lot of courage to do this with a navigation pro. The video says so much about the product. Much more than just the commentary. Thanks and keep the videos coming
I appreciate your review, it comes at the right time, I'm definitely going with a parachute system for sure. My P4P dropped out of the sky 9 days ago, Still deciding on which one to use, the battery checked out fine on the ground but during flight the battery experienced a very slight voltage drop, killing the motors and causing the drone to fall from about 35 feet and landed on wet ground nest to a concrete driveway, but the P4P's leds stayed lit until it hit the ground, weird. I was lucky I only had to replace the yaw arm, flex cable, and the yaw motor (ripped out the cable and no way to replace just the cable).
Dustin, Smart move on the pre-test! As always, a very good and informative video. Chute Deployment time from about 10' above the ground was not comforting, especially when you started from 350'. - Mahalo to you and Sinaia - GREAT JOB!!!!
Awesome video Dustin. How scary was that. I was on the edge of my seat for sure. So glad it worked for you man. Send both drones up to help search for the two parts in the tall grass. Great test video as well guys. Cheers buddy 😊👍✈️☀️
Man can I say loving your including your family more and more. Screw the ring she's an amazing pilot! Could easily make one with a sensor for much less. Will discuss with you elsewhere. Was always love your review.
Dustin, great video, as always. Download an app called "Red Waypoint" and do a grid search for the missing parts. It cost $10, but works really well. Easy as pie to start a search. Thanks again for the great content!!!
Aloha Dustin, thanks for testing the parachute, I would be to SCARED to try on my phantom. I am sure you were nervous too. You are the number 1 drone reviewer. DJI just announced they are entering the fpv market, with a drone and goggles in September, my reliable source just told me. Mike in N.C
Dustin! What a phenomenal demonstration! You always seem to come up with the greatest ways to evaluate technology! Allowing us to see the actual deployment of the parachute by having a Mavic 2 Pro and EVO up taking video made the test very interesting! I’m not sure your Phantom would have survived as well as it did if it would have hit concrete instead of tall grass, but it would be interesting to see (only if you feel like potentially sacrificing your drone)! Great job as always, Dustin....looking forward to the next review...you are the best!😃🛩
Thanks for the video! Perhaps you could recover the two missing parts if you go back to the place in the evening when it is getting dark and use the Mavic 2 pro with it's landing lights on filming vertically downwards. Best of luck!
That's true bravery (perhaps too brave): 3 VERY expensive drones in the air at the same time and letting a Phantom 4 fall... I'm not even brave enough to trust the precision landing on the Mavic 2.
I've got to say I was expecting more for $300. Maybe fireworks or streamers or something... At least it didn't open and all your Phantom's clothes, underwear and cutlery fell out (you new to have seen a certain Bugs Bunny cartoon to 'get" that.). Anyone else want to see that dufus Casey Neistat review this? I'd watch that - just to see him lose yet _another_ drone.
Lucky that grass is so soft, because every video I have seen with this parachute the landing gear has broken, because the parachute is too small and the P4P comes in too hard and fast. The parachute will save it from becoming completely destroyed, but unfortunately it will probably get broken somehow.
Good testing, but I truly do think it is worth the money. What if you where only 200ft and over concrete? But if it works it works thanks for the test.
I wonder if a small string could be used to be attached to both of these covers so they would still be attached and stay with the unit as it falls? They make synthetic thread that would hold both pieces and be very strong.
I had a Zero uav years ago with a parachute thankfully it never had to pop with the gh4 riding shotgun. LOL! They should send you stl files to 3d print new cover and tray.
Wonder if they make one for a Typhoon H? So I've contacted them and we'll see. And I'm with you. That took a little long for my nerves. Thanks for risking such a drone and sharing the results.
Think they only "officially" make versions for P4 and Mavic Pro series but it's a self contained unit which arms automatically above 15ft and deploys automatically when dropping so if your handy I'm sure you could mount it on whatever you wanted 👍
I was thinking the same thing but I'd really like to see it open a little sooner. I emailed and the page said "we reply as fast as our chutes open" which meant not really fast. I'll see what they say, if I get a reply. Again thanks. That was a heck of a risk you took.👍👍
Thanks another great review Dustin ..surprised you didn't used the mavic and evo to see if you could get a birds eye view to find your missing pieces ..
nice review. i think you need re-pack the shute official in the shop. are you sure you did it right? also i think they mentioned after 5 re-packs, shute should be replaced etc. edit: you can't used this on another drone (officially), since a) it's not build for it b) regulations asking drone to have independent shut down system ( this is what that corner things are for, they stop propellers when it's deployed with 90 degrees turn) for the propellers, so strings don't get in them and you don't hurt someone with them while falling. this works just on phantom, since all dimensions are made for it (this is why you need to place it correctly), not any other with different shape and dimensions, propeller positions etc.
Dustin another great review 👍🏼 But with hand in heart there’s no way I would trust that on my Mavic!! Deploys to late, plus as you said you need at least 2 extra inserts plus the closing lid in the box. Also I can see over time the retaining clips will find its way lose and I’m sure as many of our tech’ it just might deploy during mid flight over a glitch. Once again great review buddy👍🏼’ But something I won’t be carrying around with me and my Mavic
This parachute device is an absolute novelty at best and much closer to a complete waste of money. I have many expensive drones and airplanes and I wouldn’t buy this parachute device for $19.95 You make some pretty decent videos about UAV’s and devices that interest me though and thank you for that.
Hi, this should be STANDARDISED for every drone and country around the globe,reasons? it would A make the publics perceptions of drones much better (here in the UK and one of the main reasons I sold my mavic 2 after just three months) is the confrontation of a lot of people moaning at you flying and the dangers of it dropping out of the sky! Great to see this happening Dustin. Cheers
@@Hughjanus720 your forgetting golf is played on a course drones don't have courses not to mention a golf ball whilst could kill you from a great height isn't nowhere near the size of a drone (most). Every drone manufacturer should develop a parachute system built into the drone as a compulsory measure for safety its all about perception of drones. This way no one can argue about them falling out of the sky.
@@Hughjanus720 Two reasons firstly they don't have the reputation of idiots that flew drones and gave them a bad rep that's a fact when was the last time you saw in the news a RC pilot flew his RC into something or restricted area and secondly RC planes don't have cameras (mostly) that enrage most of the public. Its not about how good the cameras are they don't know that all they know is they do. If you fly sensible great like I did but without extra safety fitted and the launch areas being anywhere this will help drone pilots not hinder them. The fact that you are even questioning this leads me to think you obviously don't want safety to improve let alone peoples perceptions on drones.
Sorry, just now seeing this, not been watching any videos for awhile because of health issues. I would have taken one or both drones up since your daughter is such a good pilot, and looked for the two pieces. Many the manufacturer could put a beeper on at least the top that starts beeping somehow as soon as it comes off. I would think both of the plastic pieces should land relatively close to each other.
Well, somemone has to take the dimensions, and go 3D print the missing pieces ! Won't be so ecological though... (If you have to print a new one each time the device works)
Good idea. I remember someone tried to engineer one of these for commercial passenger jets. I don't think it panned out. Have you ever reviewed the Parrot Bluegrass Fields?
She can fly too man I'm slacking my 6 year old loves drones and wants to fly but she can barely walk. I just couldn't hand over 4k to my daughter and have her control it but that's sweet I can't wait to get a Mavic 2 Pro!!
The video footage from your chase drone showed pretty much where the square cover and packing tray landed. Might still have been a challenge to find. Cool video... Thanks!
Love the way you engage your daughter in your tech/gadget passions
Sanaiya is such a good kid, she diligently goes along with all your crazy schemes and adventures. Good dad, good kids.
Dude! You are crazy. Helluva sacrifice. That last minute deployment was scary. The footage with the THREE drones is AWESOME!!!
The drone would have survived probably seeing how thick that grass is.
Surely he had guarantee from the manufacturer that they would replace his drone if something went wrong. They sent it to him for review after all.

You wouldn't want them tethered more chance they would tangle in the chute.
And the props

If yours is the pro 2000$ version then sure I guess it's worth it. But a phantom should not be worth 2000$ anyway.
Or they should’ve had some sort of god or beeper on the kid and packing so you don’t lose it
@@-Sullens- dude what!? That made no sense at all.
I have a feeling it'll deploy a lot quicker now that it's been opened once...
Maybe a dusting of talc before folding it, humidity could be a culprit
You have about $7,000 flying in the air at the same time. 😥😥😥
My work set-up is over 50,000 Euros... in a single drone ^^

@@skyhighdrones1270 Uh, no shit, captain obvious. But damaged is damaged, and the repair bill is going to suck either way

3) Having no spare case components as standard in the box and having to order new parts when activated

5) Costs
It needs a MKII version that can deploy at lower altitudes without losing parts each time!
Great review Dustin Dunhill 👍

Dustin, Smart move on the pre-test! As always, a very good and informative video. Chute Deployment time from about 10' above the ground was not comforting, especially when you started from 350'. - Mahalo to you and Sinaia - GREAT JOB!!!!
Awesome video Dustin. How scary was that. I was on the edge of my seat for sure. So glad it worked for you man. Send both drones up to help search for the two parts in the tall grass. Great test video as well guys. Cheers buddy 😊👍✈️☀️
Man can I say loving your including your family more and more. Screw the ring she's an amazing pilot!
Could easily make one with a sensor for much less.
Will discuss with you elsewhere. Was always love your review.
Dustin, great video, as always. Download an app called "Red Waypoint" and do a grid search for the missing parts. It cost $10, but works really well. Easy as pie to start a search. Thanks again for the great content!!!
Aloha Dustin, thanks for testing the parachute, I would be to SCARED to try on my phantom. I am sure you were nervous too. You are the number 1 drone reviewer. DJI just announced they are entering the fpv market, with a drone and goggles in September, my reliable source just told me. Mike in N.C
You didn't hear that from "your" source there's rumours all over the Internet as of a few days ago
that is some Mission Impossible Type Stunt your drone just pulled! Grats Brother 👍🏻💪🏾💪🏾
Dustin! What a phenomenal demonstration! You always seem to come up with the greatest ways to evaluate technology! Allowing us to see the actual deployment of the parachute by having a Mavic 2 Pro and EVO up taking video made the test very interesting! I’m not sure your Phantom would have survived as well as it did if it would have hit concrete instead of tall grass, but it would be interesting to see (only if you feel like potentially sacrificing your drone)! Great job as always, Dustin....looking forward to the next review...you are the best!😃🛩
Thanks for the video! Perhaps you could recover the two missing parts if you go back to the place in the evening when it is getting dark and use the Mavic 2 pro with it's landing lights on filming vertically downwards. Best of luck!
That's true bravery (perhaps too brave): 3 VERY expensive drones in the air at the same time and letting a Phantom 4 fall... I'm not even brave enough to trust the precision landing on the Mavic 2.
I've got to say I was expecting more for $300. Maybe fireworks or streamers or something... At least it didn't open and all your Phantom's clothes, underwear and cutlery fell out (you new to have seen a certain Bugs Bunny cartoon to 'get" that.). Anyone else want to see that dufus Casey Neistat review this? I'd watch that - just to see him lose yet _another_ drone.
Lucky that grass is so soft, because every video I have seen with this parachute the landing gear has broken, because the parachute is too small and the P4P comes in too hard and fast. The parachute will save it from becoming completely destroyed, but unfortunately it will probably get broken somehow.
Excellent review Dustin!! I think it should deploy at least between 70 - 100 ft to give it time to open up the chute
I really enjoy your you channel and videos. You are very through and informative. This is an awesome addition to any drone.
Good testing, but I truly do think it is worth the money. What if you where only 200ft and over concrete? But if it works it works thanks for the test.
I wonder if a small string could be used to be attached to both of these covers so they would still be attached and stay with the unit as it falls? They make synthetic thread that would hold both pieces and be very strong.
whoaaa that was close Dustin, great test!
My heart was racing!
Very cool view of the test Dustin, have a great weekend bro
You had two other drones with you to do search and rescue for the two plastic pieces
Tania is excellent using the Mavic.
2 items lost in tall grass, walks around endlessly looking for them while you have two drones parked and ready to go! lol, love your videos though!
I had a Zero uav years ago with a parachute thankfully it never had to pop with the gh4 riding shotgun. LOL! They should send you stl files to 3d print new cover and tray.
Wonder if they make one for a Typhoon H? So I've contacted them and we'll see. And I'm with you. That took a little long for my nerves. Thanks for risking such a drone and sharing the results.
Think they only "officially" make versions for P4 and Mavic Pro series but it's a self contained unit which arms automatically above 15ft and deploys automatically when dropping so if your handy I'm sure you could mount it on whatever you wanted 👍
I was thinking the same thing but I'd really like to see it open a little sooner. I emailed and the page said "we reply as fast as our chutes open" which meant not really fast. I'll see what they say, if I get a reply. Again thanks. That was a heck of a risk you took.👍👍
I think it deployed that late is because they want to avoid that the drone is blown away by the wind. Awesome Video
Thanks another great review Dustin ..surprised you didn't used the mavic and evo to see if you could get a birds eye view to find your missing pieces ..
Awesome vid 😀! Scary,maybe attach a small blue tooth tracker triangle for a key ring they can be set to beep
For the cover I meant
Oh crap 😆 no way I could review this. Here to see what happens😂😂😂
well, it worked .. albeit lately.
cool how all three drones where up there 👍😉
I think the chute material sticks together a bit on humid climates.
Excellent test! Took a while to deploy.
nice review. i think you need re-pack the shute official in the shop. are you sure you did it right? also i think they mentioned after 5 re-packs, shute should be replaced etc.
edit: you can't used this on another drone (officially), since
a) it's not build for it
b) regulations asking drone to have independent shut down system ( this is what that corner things are for, they stop propellers when it's deployed with 90 degrees turn) for the propellers, so strings don't get in them and you don't hurt someone with them while falling. this works just on phantom, since all dimensions are made for it (this is why you need to place it correctly), not any other with different shape and dimensions, propeller positions etc.
Good thing you were at 300 ft. What happens if your under 300 feet???
A hinge for the top plate and blueprints to make the inside plate would be a great I think.
Another great video from the G.O.A.T. Not afraid of risking 2000$ eh... Thank you so much for proving science & Techology just sayin... 👏👏👏💯💯💯
Dustin another great review 👍🏼
But with hand in heart there’s no way I would trust that on my Mavic!!
Deploys to late, plus as you said you need at least 2 extra inserts plus the closing lid in the box.
Also I can see over time the retaining clips will find its way lose and I’m sure as many of our tech’ it just might deploy during mid flight over a glitch.
Once again great review buddy👍🏼’
But something I won’t be carrying around with me and my Mavic
Good points Mick. I think it's mainly to Goan a waiver and may never be needed. Some improvements they might add 👍
The system seems like it works great it just needs a better parachute that will inflate quicker.
This parachute device is an absolute novelty at best and much closer to a complete waste of money. I have many expensive drones and airplanes and I wouldn’t buy this parachute device for $19.95 You make some pretty decent videos about UAV’s and devices that interest me though and thank you for that.
I have 2 of them, on my P4 and P4P.....So for I have not used them in Flight....Safety is the word
Hi, this should be STANDARDISED for every drone and country around the globe,reasons? it would A make the publics perceptions of drones much better (here in the UK and one of the main reasons I sold my mavic 2 after just three months) is the confrontation of a lot of people moaning at you flying and the dangers of it dropping out of the sky! Great to see this happening Dustin. Cheers
Good points 👍
Not a single person has been killed by recreational drone use, but golf on the other hand 🤷♂️, wheres the regulation on golfers? Just silly politics.
@@Hughjanus720 your forgetting golf is played on a course drones don't have courses not to mention a golf ball whilst could kill you from a great height isn't nowhere near the size of a drone (most). Every drone manufacturer should develop a parachute system built into the drone as a compulsory measure for safety its all about perception of drones. This way no one can argue about them falling out of the sky.
@@FancyaBevMate Why don't Airplanes have parachutes then? 🤷♂️
@@Hughjanus720 Two reasons firstly they don't have the reputation of idiots that flew drones and gave them a bad rep that's a fact when was the last time you saw in the news a RC pilot flew his RC into something or restricted area and secondly RC planes don't have cameras (mostly) that enrage most of the public. Its not about how good the cameras are they don't know that all they know is they do. If you fly sensible great like I did but without extra safety fitted and the launch areas being anywhere this will help drone pilots not hinder them. The fact that you are even questioning this leads me to think you obviously don't want safety to improve let alone peoples perceptions on drones.
A helpful tip for a faster deployment of the parachute. Throw some baby powder on the chute before you repack it
Sorry, just now seeing this, not been watching any videos for awhile because of health issues. I would have taken one or both drones up since your daughter is such a good pilot, and looked for the two pieces.
Many the manufacturer could put a beeper on at least the top that starts beeping somehow as soon as it comes off. I would think both of the plastic pieces should land relatively close to each other.
Well, somemone has to take the dimensions, and go 3D print the missing pieces !
Won't be so ecological though...
(If you have to print a new one each time the device works)
can't wait for the mavic pro version
That was so close!!!! Talk about a last second opening!! A second later and it would have been messy!
Good idea. I remember someone tried to engineer one of these for commercial passenger jets. I don't think it panned out. Have you ever reviewed the Parrot Bluegrass Fields?
Great Video! Don't you worry about snakes in that tall grass? Thanks Rich
No snakes in Hawaii 👌
She can fly too man I'm slacking my 6 year old loves drones and wants to fly but she can barely walk. I just couldn't hand over 4k to my daughter and have her control it but that's sweet I can't wait to get a Mavic 2 Pro!!
My heart dropped
The video footage from your chase drone showed pretty much where the square cover and packing tray landed. Might still have been a challenge to find. Cool video... Thanks!
Yes, I reviewed the footage but the parts were lost in the tall grass
Oh. Very much Action and Adrenalin. No risk no fun. Very save landing ! No fear Vather and Doughter !
The fact that you can make your DJI drop out of the sky like that is pretty uhm... unsettling in an I love it kind of way....
I almost feel Drone companies should be equipping these on their drones to begin with?
Thanks for the explanation.
