Hey everyone, just so you know, if the drone is moving forward, and you decrease altitude, it does work normally. It's just when you try to come straight down, that it causes issues.
Exactly what I guessed might be the solution. Regardless of having sensors shutoff, I suspect the down facing sensor may believe the camera is ground which inhibits going down. If so, flying forward moves the camera back far enough to hide the obstruction. Yes, you've disabled the Vision /Hovering range sensors, but I wonder if the Time of Flight sensor (Range: 0.1-8 meters) is still working and seeing your camera as an obstacle. Many thanks for sharing your comprehensive review - very thoughtful!
Bought this attachment about 4 months ago and couldn't figure out how to assemble so it sat in my closet. Thanks so much for the assembly instructions:).
Hi Russ. I think you were having flight issues because the setup is wrong. I know there's no instructions, but that triangle shock absorber attaches to the bottom of the drone. That way the shock absorber can work in all directions not just forward and backwards. So, if the drone needs to bank a bit in response to a sudden gust of wind, it's not transferring that movement through the extension arm.. Try reconfiguring the mount so that the shock absorber its directly under the drone and it should fly much better
I bought the same product and had all the same issues you mentioned: no response to land and auto land. My worst was my drone wobbles 95% of the time. Thank you for your video on it. Glad I was not the only one experiencing these issues. Fly safe.
I picked this up after watching and without your instructions I would have spent hours of frustration trying to figure out how to put it together...Thank You! I'm going to be using the Insta360 1X, I'm curious if I'll have the same landing issues...
It’s a great product Russ and a very good alternative idea and cheaper option from you to have a video camera attached below a drone besides those pro drones which has a camera below. Of course we have to be cautious when flying with it and it’s good that you have given us some pointers to look out for. I wouldn’t have that idea to attach a camera below my drones. Looking forward to your next video Russ!
Have you done the tiny planet with the Air 2 quick shot? It’s funny I found this video today because I ordered a mount kind of like this on Amazon earlier for my insta360. I don’t want to use the under mount because of the catch, but just figured I could use the quick shot on the drone for that and use the upper mount for other 360 footage 👍🏻 Thanks for this video!
Some of the shots where you're able to pan around the sunflowers while flying in a different direction, etc are downright cinematic. Like a cameraman hanging out the door of a helicopter!
I got the same harness a little over a week ago, attached my Ricoh Theta SC2, and the first flight scared the crap out of me before I could get 10 feet off the ground. So this video comes at a very opportune time for me. Hope it helps get my 360 camera back up with the MA2, because I'm a glutton for punishment and still game to try it.
Russ, I appreciate you posting reviews like this. However anything that would effect the flight of any deone i would never recommend. We have to many people that fly in an unsafe mannor, and this product exacerbate that problem. Please, please keep posting video content and reviews. Thanks.
I haven't tried it, but maybe a grabber tool (the kind you use to pick up things on the floor so you don't have to bend down) would help with hand catching and maybe launching
Interesting video Russ. I've been looking for a 1/4" mount for the MA2 and could only find one that required attaching the mount more permanetly. So I clicked on your link to the product you reviewed and found out that mount is out of stock and Amazon isn't sure when or if it will be available. So it is now a Wish List item.
I did a video comparing that type of adapter to the Insta360 adapter. I haven't found one of those adapters for Mavic 2 but had one for my Mavic Pro that fit with zip ties.
My thought on the auto landing issue, could be because the cam is swinging the drone thinks its being pulled down. the idea is the same if you hand pull it out the air it will land or shut down. 2nd the swing of cam in the bottom sensor could be signaling the drone to respond and react. hope you get an answer. thanks
I got something similar from Insta360 for my Mavic 2 Pro but when I first tried it the drone got the shivers and shakes (this was without the shock absorbers section attached, though) so I never really used it. I might try again soon as I recently upgraded from the One X to the R.
hi Russ not sure if you had payload on and maybe put drone into tripod mode and at takeoff turn drone 360 couple times get gps lock i have aerial edition insta 360 one r mavic pro it went into atti mode til i spun it around get gps lock ps no drone in footage with aerial edition very cool
Good afternoon. I am looking to get a carry bag that will fit my Mini and future Mavic Air 2. I am just in the hobby and will be carrying my Ipad Mini, drones, controller holders, batteries, spare props, etc. No SLR or tripods. Can you suggest a good quality bag. I checked PYI Tech and they either are to big or to small. Thanks, Richard
Russ, how do I get the footage from a drone in a small file size that I can send in messenger? I used the MA2 and for a 5 min file ( with music added) was 111 MB. THE MP4 file is huge! Thx
To bad that he doesn't make one for the Mavic Pro model that I have.. Might have ask 51 DRONES to make me one of these for my Mavic Pro Drone.. I'll see what he says to making me one for mine real soon..??..

Yep, that's what I think too.
@@51Drones Hi,we are SYMA.We have send you the email for collaboration.Did you got it?

Looks like Truck Balls for the Mavic Air 2. LOL!
😂 😂

정보 감사합니다.
행복한 한주 잘보내세요~~
Interesting, I just ordered one. I use my Insta360 ONE R on my FPV drones and will be pretty cool to use it with my Mavic Air 2 as well.
Show us some of your 360 footage.
I picked this up after watching and without your instructions I would have spent hours of frustration trying to figure out how to put it together...Thank You!

Great review ty keep up the good work I'm a hugh fan!
That arm looks like a very good idea to have to catch the drone when you on a boat. Lol
Some of the shots where you're able to pan around the sunflowers while flying in a different direction, etc are downright cinematic. Like a cameraman hanging out the door of a helicopter!
Nice, Thanks for the video

Hello Russ glad your power came back on hope everyone's safe 👍

It's kinda cool looking with the drone in the tiny planet video but I wouldn't want it every time so this stick is a good thing
Arm chair engineers at work!
Very cool. I'll never own any kind of GoPro or the likes but this video was interesting.
Nice. When will you post some actual 360 videos? I’ll have my oculus standing by for that.
Thanks man
Liking the new intro :)
Russ as always another great video. Clear advice, good preparation/planning and editing. And interesting as well as important topic. :)
Thankyou.
hi Russ great vid you should do a videos about dpi care and refresh
Good video Russ
Interesting video Russ. I've been looking for a 1/4" mount for the MA2 and could only find one that required attaching the mount more permanetly.

Yes, when I posted this, there were only 6 left in stock. I hope they come back in stock soon!
I did a video comparing that type of adapter to the Insta360 adapter. I haven't found one of those adapters for Mavic 2 but had one for my Mavic Pro that fit with zip ties.
I saw bracket for placing insta360 cam or gopro mounted to mavic 2 drone, sold by few sellers in China.
That it's great. The Mavic air 2 Can carry a 360 camera, I was looking a drone not so expensive to do that. Thanks for the video.
I just Velcro my camera on top no issues been flying drones for 11 years.
This is a great mount idea, wondering if they have one for the Fimi x8?
Nope
I tried hooking X3 to bottom of MA2. It vibrated like crazy!
Nice do you think the FAA recquire a license first to fly the drone? Or is it fine to fly the new drone? What do u recommend?
Thanks for the video, I’m totally not going to buy this unless I would use only the top mount if anything and a action camera
My thought on the auto landing issue, could be because the cam is swinging the drone thinks its being pulled down.

2nd the swing of cam in the bottom sensor could be signaling the drone to respond and react.
hope you get an answer.

hi russ will it fit on a MAVIC AIR i have a INSTA 360 ONE on my P4 works great keep the REVIEWS coming m8
nice cool shirt

try to disable the sensor
hi Russ not sure if you had payload on and maybe put drone into tripod mode and at takeoff turn drone 360 couple times get gps lock i have aerial edition insta 360 one r mavic pro it went into atti mode til i spun it around get gps lock ps no drone in footage with aerial edition very cool
What is the point in hanging a Camera below the drone when you already have a Camera attached to the Drone, can not see the point in it
Hey corridor crews video using the insta 360 r
Hi russ, the link here in the UK brings up a case for the drone, not the bracket !
I don't have the UK link, sorry.
If you have any more hats with your old logo on it i would like to buy one.
I like the new logo too.
Thanks Russ appreciate your video but cant see any value for me, camera or attachment does not add value for what I do.
Good afternoon. I am looking to get a carry bag that will fit my Mini and
future Mavic Air 2. I am just in the hobby and will be carrying my Ipad
Mini, drones, controller holders, batteries, spare props, etc. No SLR
or tripods. Can you suggest a good quality bag. I checked PYI Tech and
they either are to big or to small. Thanks, Richard
My experience is the gps screwed up. With out gps your drone won’t show up in your map
Mine wouldn't land when I flew it on a foggy day.
Too many safety "maybes" to be an acceptable solution.
This TBH I'd be terrified I'd get it up to 100m and wouldn't be able to get it back down or it'd start trying to land in the air.
you could probs connect a gopro max
Who created your end-screen?
Russ, how do I get the footage from a drone in a small file size that I can send in messenger? I used the MA2 and for a 5 min file ( with music added) was 111 MB. THE MP4 file is huge! Thx
Holy shi-cow that thing is 3D printed
Any tips on how to use iPad Pro with mavic pro? Because I’ve tried but it didn’t work with controller .
I'm sorry, I don't.
So in other words folks don't buy it" lol
I think it's ok, as long as you are in a remote area.
I expect this will void your warranty, it’s a bit of fun not sure if it’s worth all the hassle.
Anything you attach to a drone will void the warranty.
👌👌
Can I use this on Mavic Pro?
That won’t fit the mavic2pro?
No, it is custom fit. That Mavic 2 Pro is much larger.
I sometimes watch YT with subtitles on when i cannot find my headphones and this video auto translates to Portuguese...?
skyninja I see that! Weird.
To bad that he doesn't make one for the Mavic Pro model that I have.. Might have ask 51 DRONES to make me one of these for my Mavic Pro Drone.. I'll see what he says to making me one for mine real soon..??..

Hello, could you pls help me promote a memory card?
