    Welcome back and congratulations on the family edition. I dont have a Disco but do have the Bebop1 and Bebop2 along with the Anafi and Dju Mini 1. Of all of them I must say the Bebop2 is my GoTo drone, Sturdy, Reliable and good enough video for generL youtube. DJI is really too light for Irish winds a lot of the time. Love your Drone reviews. Other thinng that gets me is after all the Parrot flying, I sometimes forget to turn the camera on the DJI.

Also, if there are any lower priced Quads you might have to Demo would be great. Some of us don't fly enough to warrant purchasing a Cadilac and prefer a Buick, if you know what I mean. Something under 400.00 to 500.00 price range would be nice. Thanks Dustin and hope to see more videos soon.

    You question at 42.43 about Molokini. It was made by volcano underwater. It made small island. Then had a eruption and blew out side of crater and eroded part of it away. Just like mashed potatoes and gravy. Same as back side of Haleakala. Kapo gap was where lava drained out of crater. Little history lesson. Aloha. Thanks for all cool vids.

    Seen a bunch of your videos before and was subscribed but my system all crashed and I started fresh. So cool to have found your exceptional flying content again.
    I spent most of my life on Oahu but I’ve been to Maui and all the other islands a bunch of times. Lots of fishing trips with friends to Molokai and escorting canoe races back. Man I wish drones existed when I was in my prime in Hawaii. I would have been all over that!
    It’s really cool flying along with your cruises and recognizing so many spots like Molokini and Hawaii’s beautiful reefs and water.

Just so you know, if you turn off wifi on an iPad from the control centre, your wifi will still be on it will just turn off the ability to connect to a wifi network temporary. If you want it to not interfere at all you should go in the settings and turn it off there. You will see the wifi logo grey in the control centre and that means that it's turned off! The same goes for bluetooth. Hope to see more in the future! :)

    Fun story... I used to work for the company that makes the cell signal booster. When they were designing that particular model, I told one of the engineers in passing that I was going to be road tripping across the country. He then gave me a prototype of it and asked if I'd install it in my car and gather some data for them during my trip. It worked great except for a couple hiccups. Anyway, they took my data and made a few tweaks for the final product and then let me keep the prototype. I still have it and use it today.

    Well, 1st off, congrats on the new addition to the family. I guess you guys won't be 'empty nesters' for some time now. I was glad to have this diversion, as I had intended to do my 1st outdoor bicycle ride today (temp hit 80F with a south wind - rare here in April). Took off from my home, and the main Shimano shifter for my back 7 gears was locked up (in 3rd gear). I could shift the gears by the crank, so moved them up to the highest (3rd) and after not being able to pound it into working in a parking lot 1 mile out, I turned around & came home. Looks like the shift module on the handle bar will need to be replaced. Enjoyed the long voyage .. although I was getting nervous, as I know how you like to cut things close.
