Wow, this is awesome. The combination of drone and FPV footage, with B-roll material alongside. Many diverse shots. And the audio effects were a subtile addition, yet really enhanced the video. You risked it all with those close ocean and wave shots. Heads off. A BTS of this would be nice.
Thanks for your feedback, really happy that you enjoyed watching it :) And yeah, I tried to go pretty close, sometimes I scared myself ;) BTS won't be possible unfortunately as I was travelling on my own and had no one to take BTS shots... but I might consider doing that when I travel with someone else in the future!
I like how you combined both methods. Just only looking at this on a 27 inch monitor. I felt like I was traveling with the drone on a incredible journey.
Oh, that's cool to hear! Actually, Madeira has been an incredible journey and an incredible time for me indeed, and the video resembles part of it. To this day, I still like to watch this video from time to time since it was such an amazing place. Thanks again for your comment :)
Thank you :) Exactly! Even the act of simply flying there with the goggles (without having the video in mind), the experience is just amazing. I really love FPV for the realtime experience.
Thanks Mel, really appreciate it. Once it was badass annoying to you haha, but I'm very happy that you came up and talked to me! Really happy I got to know you and Matt!

But I won't stop, no worries there.. :) The color grading in this video, or the process behind it, is basically the same as explained in my color grading video... white balance, contrast/exposure, color. Is there any specific thing you want to know?

Everything was well thought and executed, the color grading was a very nice treat for the eyes and the music for the ears. Your videos evoke so much emotions! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Und ja, ich hab mir auch mehrmals in die Hose gemacht, aber no risk no fun, und zum Glück ist alles gut gegangen :) Ein paar Wochen später in Island hab ich die Avata mit 60 km/h gegen einen Felsvorsprung in einem Canyon gefahren.. aber durch eine stundenlange "Rettungsaktion" zum Glück bergen können :) Davon wird irgendwann ein Video kommen... Danke jedenfalls fürs Lob, ich freu mich sehr!

@@chrisharris_arizona Yeah I really tried to get as close as possible to make the watching experience better for my viewers :) But I got scared in some moments, too 😄 Just looked into it. Way better than my first flights!! And smoother than many other's drone videos, since you know the 30 fps secret haha. One tip here, I'd mostly try to avoid pans (yaw) because they don't look very good. I think I'd use yaw movements only when doing an orbit.
@@t0mwhazzup Thanks for critiquing my video! I 100% agree with the pans comment. They actually seem to disorient and maybe even make one dizzy, even when they are slow. That edit started with 10 minutes of footage and I kept editing it down to its current state and I could still take out a couple shots. I’ll have to accept that some shots just aren’t usable and to avoid them. I’ll probably keep editing that video, delete the current one, upload new version.
Oh believe me. That's pretty normal. Take my video here, I'd estimate that only 5-10 % of all footage captured in Madeira made it into the final cut. YT is still social media, so people only get to see the best parts and not all the garbage 😉
Really? That's so cool to hear and means a lot to me when my videos inspire someone so much 🤗 If you buy an Avata, I'd appreciate if you considered buying it with one of my affiliate links in the video descriptions. This comes at no extra cost for you but supports the channel a lot. Thank you 🤗
Thank you so much 🙂 No, I usually don't use luts, I do the color grading myself. I have made two videos that explain how to color grade and up the quality of your footage: The ULTIMATE Guide to PRO QUALITY Drone Footage - DJI Mini 3 Pro ruclips.net/video/5aotiUE-iOk/видео.html Color Grading D-Cinelike - DJI Mini 3 Pro ruclips.net/video/8IkScB3FGDQ/видео.html
Thank you so much for your appreciative words :) But believe me, there is not so much talent at work here, just a little bit of passion and practice wrapped in some editing. And don't forget, you'll only get to see the best outtakes here.. I was there for 2 weeks and these 3 minutes is all that is useable ;) The rest is so-so
At 0:58 I was certain you shot with the Avata. How did you get that descend speed on the Mini 3 Pro? The cars are moving normally so clearly not sped up footage..
This clip was shot with the Avata, not with the Mini 3 Pro. That explains the quick descend speed ;) Actually, all the clips are realtime. There are two or three short speed ramps in the video, but only to smoothen out the transition between two clips with similar movement :) (And the speed ramp at the clock tower, obviously) :)
@@t0mwhazzup aah, that makes more sense. You just cut the video in a way that suggested that "now we are doing the mini, and now we are doing the avata". I didn't question it until you had the "launch" clip of the avata, leading me to belive you completely separated the videos
@@adrianstensrud Yeah, in general you're right, the first part is Mini 3 Pro, the last part Avata. But in order to give a little tease in the beginning, I inserted a few Avata shots in the first minute ;)
I'm going to Madeira in about a month. When i watch your stunning video i'm sure to take there my drone. But as far i know there are crazy strong wind. Do i have to worry to loose my Mini 3 Pro? Is there really anything to fear? What advice do you have for Madeira :)
I wouldn't worry. It can be very windy but that doesn't mean that it is windy all the time in every spot there 🙂 Take your drone with you and capture that stunning island!! You will see when it's too windy to fly... and before it falls out of the sky, you will get a strong wind warning. I mistreated my Mini 3 Pro quite a bit in regard to strong winds. But never lost it because of that 🙂 So I cannot give any guarantee of course, but from my experience, it can handle a bit of wind 🙂
Thank you so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it :) Actually, really, really good. Initially I was afraid that when I fly behind a seastack, or, for example through the small hole between the sea and the rock, that I'd lose signal. But I didn't (it was approx. 500 meters away from me already at that point). I only lost signal once in Madeira, but that was in a situation when the drone was approx. 1,5 km away from me and I flew it behind a seastack. It was stupid, but you should not do that anyway... The fail-safe return to home function of the Avata worked very well though. I don't know what exactly it did during the minute I had no transmission, but it brought the drone back to a spot where I had transmission again. This minute felt like hours, though, I thought I lost the drone. But, I have to say that I have the FCC hack in use, so more transmission power then I'd usually have in Europe (CE is standard there). And I'd really recommend doing that because with FPV it's really essential to get the best possible transmission. Hope that helps!
Hey Tom! How was flying with the avata ? Especially in the winds ? I have it for testing for a week or so but... I'm not sure if I should keep it and sell my DJI FPV or not think about it (quality seems great, even more so with ND Filters but worried about high winds and it flipping ) 🤔
I was afraid in the first days in Madeira to fly because of the winds... but then I thought, I'll just give it a try because I went there to fly drones... and it worked out fine. Of course you feel the wind when flying, but if you have basic FPV skills, it shouldn't be much of a problem. I hope that helps 🙂
@@t0mwhazzup thanks ! That sounds just about right from what I've felt so far 😄 Did You fly with ND Filters ? This footage does seem like You did 🤔 One last question , how was the signal? In some shots I feel like with DJI FPV and Goggles V2 I would have lost the signal (like the dive down and then above the water) 😄
@@SebastianDylag Yes, in most (but not all) shots, I used ND filters. Always depending on what I need to get around 1/60 sec shutter speed. Signal was great most of the times, but I habe enabled the FCC hack. Not sure how it would have been in CE mode.
Wow. The sound and visuals are outstanding. Really amazing job Tom! I”m really curious what are the differences in flying ’feel’ between the two drones. What makes the Avata so good at those dynamic close up shots? Is it actually flying slower and the footage is speed up in post or you just have so much better control over the drone with the fpv view? Is the feeling of flying Avata so much different and obviously better? What are the biggest pro”s and con”s of both drones? Sorry for so many questions :). Perhaps you could make a film about your experiences with both drones?
So glad you like it! I really appreciate your comment! Well.. it's completely different. The difference in footage is obvious when you look at the video, I think. In general, all drone clips in this video are real time. There are only two or three speed ramps (e.g. the flyby close to the clocktower and in one or two transitions between clips to make the transition smoother), but apart from that it's real time. So the speed you see in the videos is the speed it flies with. The footage is just a small part of the difference, the big difference is the experience itself. Conventional drones are usually flown to capture video (or photo), the flying itself is not much of an experience and the control is pretty easy. Flying FPV is an experience itself, you have the goggles on, so it's very immersive. And when you fly fully manual like I do, you can basically move the drone however you like on each axis. The control is way harder to learn, you need to practice in a simulator before because the drone doesn't stabilize itself. I'm by no means good at FPV, but for such smooth and cinematic flights my abilities are good enough 😄 I always try to fly pretty close to obstacles/water/whatever and I wait for the day I'm gonna lose the drone because of it... I crashed in a canyon in Iceland a few weeks ago, but I was able to retrieve the drone and apart from having to change propellers, the drone was fine. The frame is really sturdy and was only a little bit scratched after hitting a rock with 60 km/h. But this is going to be the story of another video that's going to be published at some point this year... 😉 And thanks for the video idea, I will think about it! 🙂
@@t0mwhazzup Thanks for all the answers! And for inspirations and many helpful tips in your high quality videos. So FPV is not so easy... Well, even more likely I'm gonna get in that ballpark soon 😎 For now I'm just starting all the fun with my first drone, a brilliant mini 3 pro. The FPV will be next for sure, but I need to get much better at flying for that next step. Good to know it is so much fun to fly this thing. And that it can bravely take a few tough hits without complaining 😉. Happy flying!
@@DFD1 Well, for some it's easier than for others. I'd say I'm not very talented, it took me quite a few hours on the simulator before I had the confidence to take the real thing outside :) When you have a feeling for how to control the drone manually, it's absolutely manageable outside as long as there's enough space. So most of the shots I do are pretty easy when you have a bit of practice, but some shots in this video (especially those over water) were pretty close and it takes a bit of courage, precision and..... of course luck ;)
I am really happy to read a comment like yours. And I don't really mean to do understatement, but with a little bit of practice this can be done in a short amount of time. My style of flying is way easier than all that crazy FPV acro and racing stuff people do. I could never do that. But that rather slow and cinematic FPV stuff I do is really not that hard :)
Einfach nur geil. So wunderschöne Aufnahmen!! Gewaltig!!!!! Und dann dank deinem Schnitt und alles drumherum auch noch die Kirsche aufgesetzt!! Mir bleibt nur noch eine Frage: wieviel Drohnen hast du diesmal gecrashed? :-P :-P mit den Wellen und den Wasserspritzer warst ganz schön lucky unterwegs oder? ;-)) aber wahnsinns shots!! LG, dein ehem. Lieblingsnachbar
Hey Georgy ;) Freut mich, dass dir gefällt!! Also in Madeira war ich komplett crashfrei, und die knappen Shots überm Wasser waren wirklich risky, aber ich glaub, ich hab das soweit gut unter Kontrolle gehabt :) Dafür bin ich ein paar Wochen später in Madeira gecrasht - mit 60 km/h direkt in einen Felsen! Aber dazu wird's noch ein eigenes Video geben... 😆 Alles gut bei dir?
@@t0mwhazzup mhh.. du schreibst madeira crashfrei, und später madeira gecrashed? :D jetzt kenn ich mich nicht ganz aus.. die versicherung zahlt sich jedenfalls aus bei dir! ;-) aber bist halt immer am limit! :D freu mich schon aufs nächste video von dir! ja, alles läuft gut. von sa auf so bin ich sogar in wien auf kurzbesuch, weil die taufe von marios tochter ist! ;-)
@@georgyboyyy Oops, in Island bin ich dann gecrashed mein ich 😂 Es ist übrigens tatsächlich wieder ein BMW am Nachbarparkplatz 😬 Oh cool! Bei mir geht sichs leider so kurzfristig nicht aus diesmal, bin das Wochenende voll verplant. Aber entweder next time oder wenn ich wieder in deiner Gegend bin 🤩
now that the m3 pro is compatible with goggles and rc controller do you recommend that over the avata? i already have the m3 pro and want to use it for fpv
I have not tried it. But since you cannot do all the FPV stuff you can with the Avata (dives, flips, etc), I wouldn't really consider the m3pro with goggles a proper replacement for an FPV drone. If you just want to fly around with the goggles, it might be enough for you though 🙂
voy a viena en diciembre ,me podrias ayudar con los reglamentos de tu pais ,en españa tengo el certificado de operador y el de piloto de dron A1-A3 y el seguro tanto para el mini 3 pro como para el avata ,necesito algo mas para volar en tu pais ? gracias de antemano por lo que me puedas aportar de informacion
If you're registered in Spain, you don't need extra registration in Austria. How are the rules in Teneriffa? I'm thinking about going there and flying my drone. Any idea? I made a video about Austrian drone laws and regulations, maybe it helps you: AUSTRIA drone laws and flight rules in 2023 - The complete guide! ruclips.net/video/3ZnZFxVeKxU/видео.html
Hi tom what a beautiful video, i like to keep them all A roll B roll with also fpv, its genius… just curious with the video setting for avata i kinda struggle to have a good quality footage with them, use manual setting 4K60 with d cinelike (10 bit they claim) 120 fps framerate, and auto iso but the footage is always saturated and harsh when it color grade in davinci… Is there any advice how to make them correct exposure n how to color grade them, i follow your tips with the mini 3 pro and its work but not with avata😅😅😅
Thank you for your very nice feedback 🙂 Yeah the footage quality is not as good as on the Mini 3 Pro or other DJI drones, for that matter. I film in 4K60 with mostly 1/60 shutter speed and ISO to 100 (I don't use auto usually). I grade it like the Mini 3 Pro footage. The quality simply isn't as good 😔
I’m very surprised the Avata could pull out of those dives, i find it woefully underpowered. I converted one to the 3.5” axis flying and its made a big difference.
Well, you know... if you're used to a 400 bhp car, 150 bhp feel very underpowered. If you only know 150 bhp, then it's fine. Same with the Avata - it's the only FPV drone I've ever flown, so I guess I got used to pull out of those dives a little earlier than you would with a drone with more power.
Well how fantastic! You wouldn't care to share how you took some of those shots would you? Hats off to you sir, a fabulous video. If I may ask though.....did you do the whole ANAC 10mdays in advance file flight plan thing or is it more relaxed in Madeira than on the mainland?
Sure :) What do you want to know exactly about the shots? I don't know about that. As far as I know you can fly (as long as it's not a prohibited zone) without any flight plan. You just have to check if the airspace is unrestricted, and there is an app for it in Portugal. It's called Voa Na Boa.
Hi Tom, just watched this on the Drone Show. Absolutely stunning views / flying / editing, love it!! I have an Avata, and after watching this I think I'm not using it to its full potential! Subbing now. Jackie
@@t0mwhazzup We are a fairly new show, we feature other people’s videos. We showed your one as our video of the week, at about 48 minutes into the show. I’ll paste you the link in a minute…
My word.... I want to be like you Tom. Maybe one day we can collaborate. I just joined LCA. I dream of shooting content like this. I will one day. Be blessed brother. You are living my dream...
It can't get much better than this:)!One of this days I l'll get one of these Avata to,in the meantime I ordered the googles and rc controller, I'm sure you heard they can be contacted with mini 3,see how that works. Congratulations! Ps:I know you're confident in your maneuvers but I say you have couple of close calls there:)
Thanks for your comment :) Wouldn't it be cheaper to by the goggles and the Avata in combination? Yes, I've heard about that, but as I have an Avata already, I don't really think the goggle experience with the Mini 3 Pro can do much for me ;) Yeah, especially the water shots were all pretty close and it was on purpose. But yes... a few inches lower and the experience would really have been "immersive" 😅 You gotta take the risk to get rewarded...
I was thinking about that, it would have been cheaper on long term, but for now I want to see if I can squeeze more from mini 3 with that sistem.cheers!
@@t0mwhazzup no, I’m actually referring to some info I have from a source at DJI. They are concepting a drone that flies like an fpv but with a modified 3 axis gimbal. Not sure if and when it would come out tho.
@@t0mwhazzup Initally with my mavic air from yester years i was already a 30 fps guy but swayed by a lot of drone people yapping about 24fps. But now i'm back to what i was thanks to you and your jaw-dropping videos.
@@shredgardener9231 Oh wow, that's nice to hear, it really means a lot to me! I'd always choose the frame rate that is compatible to the intended display device, and for RUclips and other online/social media content that is displayed on computer monitors and smartphones (60 Hz displays mostly), 30 fps is the way to go. 24/25 fps will not play back smoothly, it's simple math. Or 60 fps would also be fine, but this does not have any cinema-like qualities to it because it's too far away from the 24 fps cinema standard. 30 fps is close to that and plays back smoothly. I guess you know my video about this topic already 😉

Do you prefer the FPV shots, the normal drone shots or the combination of both? Let me know :)
FPV shots are almost always spectacular. And fresh. But the combination of both is the way to go. I guess. Haven”t flown with the gogles yet 😅

Hi Tom, I really enjoy your videos. I have to say the combination of the two formats is very cool.
Hey Dan, I'm very happy to hear that. Thank you for letting me know!
Wow. It's was very interesting to watch mate. Amazing footage and places. You have a new sub. Great flying and shots. Thank you for sharing 🎶🤙🔝
Thank you very much for your feedback and your support. I really appreciate it :)
Very cool! This inspired me to buy an Avata now!
Really? That's so cool to hear and means a lot to me when my videos inspire someone so much 🤗
If you buy an Avata, I'd appreciate if you considered buying it with one of my affiliate links in the video descriptions. This comes at no extra cost for you but supports the channel a lot. Thank you 🤗
Hi Tom, is there any way to contact you for commercial purposes? That would be great!
You can write me on Instagram @tom_whazzup
Brilliant work! Were any luts used?
Thank you so much 🙂 No, I usually don't use luts, I do the color grading myself.
I have made two videos that explain how to color grade and up the quality of your footage:

Oh wow!!! I love this! Super creation 👏🏻👏🏻 I wish I had your talent
Thank you so much for your appreciative words :) But believe me, there is not so much talent at work here, just a little bit of passion and practice wrapped in some editing. And don't forget, you'll only get to see the best outtakes here.. I was there for 2 weeks and these 3 minutes is all that is useable ;) The rest is so-so
o.m.g This video perfect 😍
Thank you so much 🙏
Completi bellissimo! 👍
Mille Grazie, Alfonso 🤗🤗🤗
Great film, good job
Thank you very much :)
Amazing Shortfilm! How do u make those soundeffects of the sea etc during your flights?
I add them during editing, so you're not hearing original sounds there - drone video has no audio because you'd only hear the whirring of the rotors 😉
At 0:58 I was certain you shot with the Avata. How did you get that descend speed on the Mini 3 Pro? The cars are moving normally so clearly not sped up footage..
This clip was shot with the Avata, not with the Mini 3 Pro. That explains the quick descend speed ;)
Actually, all the clips are realtime. There are two or three short speed ramps in the video, but only to smoothen out the transition between two clips with similar movement :) (And the speed ramp at the clock tower, obviously) :)
@@t0mwhazzup aah, that makes more sense. You just cut the video in a way that suggested that "now we are doing the mini, and now we are doing the avata". I didn't question it until you had the "launch" clip of the avata, leading me to belive you completely separated the videos
@@adrianstensrud Yeah, in general you're right, the first part is Mini 3 Pro, the last part Avata. But in order to give a little tease in the beginning, I inserted a few Avata shots in the first minute ;)
Incredible footage and great colour grading !
Thank you so much for your kind words 🤗
Wow 🤙
Thank you :)
Awesome shots as always. Both for me. Fan here 👍🍻
Oh wow. Thanks for letting me know, it really means a lot to me! :)
Wow, Avata flying so close to the water. Great controlling, bro.
Thanks a lot ☺️ yeah some shots were a bit risky 🙈
Wow. It’s fantastic 😍😍😍👍
Thank you so much, I appreciate for your feedback!

Thank you so much for your kind words, it really means a lot 🙏🏼
I'm going to Madeira in about a month. When i watch your stunning video i'm sure to take there my drone. But as far i know there are crazy strong wind. Do i have to worry to loose my Mini 3 Pro? Is there really anything to fear? What advice do you have for Madeira :)
I wouldn't worry. It can be very windy but that doesn't mean that it is windy all the time in every spot there 🙂 Take your drone with you and capture that stunning island!! You will see when it's too windy to fly... and before it falls out of the sky, you will get a strong wind warning. I mistreated my Mini 3 Pro quite a bit in regard to strong winds. But never lost it because of that 🙂
So I cannot give any guarantee of course, but from my experience, it can handle a bit of wind 🙂
I love Madeira, I love your shots from both drones, I love SFX and music as well as your colour grading! ❤
Subscribed! 👏
Oh wow, thank you so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it 🤗
stunning
Thank you ☺️
Great video Tom. Awesome comparison and the shots are AMAZING. What a great flying skills. 👌😎
Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it :)
Wahnsinn!!!!😍
Danke :)
Good work mate, you’re lucky to live in such an amazing area! Both styles of drone are good - they each have a different purpose.
Thanks for your comment! Actually I don't live there, I was on vacation :)
@@t0mwhazzup That’s made me even more jealous 😀😂
@@Keithy_W Well, don't be.. on Social Media you always see only the best outtakes of other's lifes ;)
@@t0mwhazzup too true!
That's a great story, lovely editing and amazing flying 👍it's gonna be on the drone show live this Wednesday 5 July
Thank you very much for your kind words :) What live drone show?
These FPV shots are sick! Great job mate! How the Avata's signal behaves between those rocks and cliffs?
Thank you so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it :)
Actually, really, really good. Initially I was afraid that when I fly behind a seastack, or, for example through the small hole between the sea and the rock, that I'd lose signal. But I didn't (it was approx. 500 meters away from me already at that point). I only lost signal once in Madeira, but that was in a situation when the drone was approx. 1,5 km away from me and I flew it behind a seastack. It was stupid, but you should not do that anyway...
The fail-safe return to home function of the Avata worked very well though. I don't know what exactly it did during the minute I had no transmission, but it brought the drone back to a spot where I had transmission again. This minute felt like hours, though, I thought I lost the drone.
But, I have to say that I have the FCC hack in use, so more transmission power then I'd usually have in Europe (CE is standard there). And I'd really recommend doing that because with FPV it's really essential to get the best possible transmission.
Hope that helps!
@@t0mwhazzup thanks again for this super useful answer! 🙏
Hey Tom!
How was flying with the avata ? Especially in the winds ?
I have it for testing for a week or so but... I'm not sure if I should keep it and sell my DJI FPV or not think about it (quality seems great, even more so with ND Filters but worried about high winds and it flipping ) 🤔
I was afraid in the first days in Madeira to fly because of the winds... but then I thought, I'll just give it a try because I went there to fly drones... and it worked out fine. Of course you feel the wind when flying, but if you have basic FPV skills, it shouldn't be much of a problem. I hope that helps 🙂
@@t0mwhazzup thanks ! That sounds just about right from what I've felt so far 😄
Did You fly with ND Filters ? This footage does seem like You did 🤔
One last question , how was the signal? In some shots I feel like with DJI FPV and Goggles V2 I would have lost the signal (like the dive down and then above the water)
😄
@@SebastianDylag Yes, in most (but not all) shots, I used ND filters. Always depending on what I need to get around 1/60 sec shutter speed.
Signal was great most of the times, but I habe enabled the FCC hack. Not sure how it would have been in CE mode.
min 2:55 uauu congrtz
Thank you :)
Mucho arte piloto…👏👏👏🤘😘
Gracias :)
Wow. The sound and visuals are outstanding. Really amazing job Tom! I”m really curious what are the differences in flying ’feel’ between the two drones. What makes the Avata so good at those dynamic close up shots? Is it actually flying slower and the footage is speed up in post or you just have so much better control over the drone with the fpv view? Is the feeling of flying Avata so much different and obviously better? What are the biggest pro”s and con”s of both drones? Sorry for so many questions :). Perhaps you could make a film about your experiences with both drones?
So glad you like it! I really appreciate your comment!
Well.. it's completely different. The difference in footage is obvious when you look at the video, I think. In general, all drone clips in this video are real time. There are only two or three speed ramps (e.g. the flyby close to the clocktower and in one or two transitions between clips to make the transition smoother), but apart from that it's real time. So the speed you see in the videos is the speed it flies with.
The footage is just a small part of the difference, the big difference is the experience itself. Conventional drones are usually flown to capture video (or photo), the flying itself is not much of an experience and the control is pretty easy. Flying FPV is an experience itself, you have the goggles on, so it's very immersive. And when you fly fully manual like I do, you can basically move the drone however you like on each axis. The control is way harder to learn, you need to practice in a simulator before because the drone doesn't stabilize itself. I'm by no means good at FPV, but for such smooth and cinematic flights my abilities are good enough 😄 I always try to fly pretty close to obstacles/water/whatever and I wait for the day I'm gonna lose the drone because of it... I crashed in a canyon in Iceland a few weeks ago, but I was able to retrieve the drone and apart from having to change propellers, the drone was fine. The frame is really sturdy and was only a little bit scratched after hitting a rock with 60 km/h. But this is going to be the story of another video that's going to be published at some point this year... 😉
And thanks for the video idea, I will think about it! 🙂
@@t0mwhazzup Thanks for all the answers! And for inspirations and many helpful tips in your high quality videos. So FPV is not so easy... Well, even more likely I'm gonna get in that ballpark soon 😎 For now I'm just starting all the fun with my first drone, a brilliant mini 3 pro. The FPV will be next for sure, but I need to get much better at flying for that next step. Good to know it is so much fun to fly this thing. And that it can bravely take a few tough hits without complaining 😉. Happy flying!
@@DFD1 Well, for some it's easier than for others. I'd say I'm not very talented, it took me quite a few hours on the simulator before I had the confidence to take the real thing outside :) When you have a feeling for how to control the drone manually, it's absolutely manageable outside as long as there's enough space. So most of the shots I do are pretty easy when you have a bit of practice, but some shots in this video (especially those over water) were pretty close and it takes a bit of courage, precision and..... of course luck ;)
Breathtaking! Your maneuvering skills really shine through in this film 👏
I am really happy to read a comment like yours. And I don't really mean to do understatement, but with a little bit of practice this can be done in a short amount of time. My style of flying is way easier than all that crazy FPV acro and racing stuff people do. I could never do that. But that rather slow and cinematic FPV stuff I do is really not that hard :)
@@t0mwhazzup Regardless, I still believe it takes a certain artistic eye and skill to put together something like this :) Keep it up!
@@wearetrackclub Really happy that you like it. I appreciate you letting me know 🙏🏼
Einfach nur geil. So wunderschöne Aufnahmen!! Gewaltig!!!!!
Und dann dank deinem Schnitt und alles drumherum auch noch die Kirsche aufgesetzt!!
Mir bleibt nur noch eine Frage: wieviel Drohnen hast du diesmal gecrashed? :-P :-P mit den Wellen und den Wasserspritzer warst ganz schön lucky unterwegs oder? ;-)) aber wahnsinns shots!!
LG, dein ehem. Lieblingsnachbar
Hey Georgy ;) Freut mich, dass dir gefällt!!
Also in Madeira war ich komplett crashfrei, und die knappen Shots überm Wasser waren wirklich risky, aber ich glaub, ich hab das soweit gut unter Kontrolle gehabt :) Dafür bin ich ein paar Wochen später in Madeira gecrasht - mit 60 km/h direkt in einen Felsen! Aber dazu wird's noch ein eigenes Video geben... 😆
Alles gut bei dir?
@@t0mwhazzup mhh.. du schreibst madeira crashfrei, und später madeira gecrashed? :D jetzt kenn ich mich nicht ganz aus.. die versicherung zahlt sich jedenfalls aus bei dir! ;-) aber bist halt immer am limit! :D freu mich schon aufs nächste video von dir!
ja, alles läuft gut. von sa auf so bin ich sogar in wien auf kurzbesuch, weil die taufe von marios tochter ist! ;-)
@@georgyboyyy Oops, in Island bin ich dann gecrashed mein ich 😂
Es ist übrigens tatsächlich wieder ein BMW am Nachbarparkplatz 😬
Oh cool! Bei mir geht sichs leider so kurzfristig nicht aus diesmal, bin das Wochenende voll verplant. Aber entweder next time oder wenn ich wieder in deiner Gegend bin 🤩
Mini 3 pro for me 🙌🏾
now that the m3 pro is compatible with goggles and rc controller do you recommend that over the avata? i already have the m3 pro and want to use it for fpv
I have not tried it. But since you cannot do all the FPV stuff you can with the Avata (dives, flips, etc), I wouldn't really consider the m3pro with goggles a proper replacement for an FPV drone. If you just want to fly around with the goggles, it might be enough for you though 🙂
great video!!😊😊
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it :)
voy a viena en diciembre ,me podrias ayudar con los reglamentos de tu pais ,en españa tengo el certificado de operador y el de piloto de dron A1-A3 y el seguro tanto para el mini 3 pro como para el avata ,necesito algo mas para volar en tu pais ? gracias de antemano por lo que me puedas aportar de informacion
If you're registered in Spain, you don't need extra registration in Austria. How are the rules in Teneriffa? I'm thinking about going there and flying my drone. Any idea?
I made a video about Austrian drone laws and regulations, maybe it helps you: AUSTRIA drone laws and flight rules in 2023 - The complete guide!

Hi tom what a beautiful video, i like to keep them all A roll B roll with also fpv, its genius…
just curious with the video setting for avata i kinda struggle to have a good quality footage with them, use manual setting 4K60 with d cinelike (10 bit they claim) 120 fps framerate, and auto iso but the footage is always saturated and harsh when it color grade in davinci…
Is there any advice how to make them correct exposure n how to color grade them, i follow your tips with the mini 3 pro and its work but not with avata😅😅😅
Thank you for your very nice feedback 🙂
Yeah the footage quality is not as good as on the Mini 3 Pro or other DJI drones, for that matter. I film in 4K60 with mostly 1/60 shutter speed and ISO to 100 (I don't use auto usually).
I grade it like the Mini 3 Pro footage. The quality simply isn't as good 😔
I’m very surprised the Avata could pull out of those dives, i find it woefully underpowered. I converted one to the 3.5” axis flying and its made a big difference.
Well, you know... if you're used to a 400 bhp car, 150 bhp feel very underpowered. If you only know 150 bhp, then it's fine. Same with the Avata - it's the only FPV drone I've ever flown, so I guess I got used to pull out of those dives a little earlier than you would with a drone with more power.
Beautiful ...... !
Thank you so much :)
Well how fantastic! You wouldn't care to share how you took some of those shots would you? Hats off to you sir, a fabulous video. If I may ask though.....did you do the whole ANAC 10mdays in advance file flight plan thing or is it more relaxed in Madeira than on the mainland?
Sure :) What do you want to know exactly about the shots?
I don't know about that. As far as I know you can fly (as long as it's not a prohibited zone) without any flight plan. You just have to check if the airspace is unrestricted, and there is an app for it in Portugal. It's called Voa Na Boa.
😲👏 you took so much risk with the avata I was like “no way” on each fpv shot 😅 well done !
I had the same feeling when flying! Lots of adrenaline while flying, believe me 😉 But I crashed 2 weeks later in Iceland 😉
Hi Tom, just watched this on the Drone Show. Absolutely stunning views / flying / editing, love it!! I have an Avata, and after watching this I think I'm not using it to its full potential! Subbing now. Jackie

It can't get much better than this:)!One of this days I l'll get one of these Avata to,in the meantime I ordered the googles and rc controller, I'm sure you heard they can be contacted with mini 3,see how that works. Congratulations!
Ps:I know you're confident in your maneuvers but I say you have couple of close calls there:)
Thanks for your comment :) Wouldn't it be cheaper to by the goggles and the Avata in combination? Yes, I've heard about that, but as I have an Avata already, I don't really think the goggle experience with the Mini 3 Pro can do much for me ;)
Yeah, especially the water shots were all pretty close and it was on purpose. But yes... a few inches lower and the experience would really have been "immersive" 😅 You gotta take the risk to get rewarded...
I was thinking about that, it would have been cheaper on long term, but for now I want to see if I can squeeze more from mini 3 with that sistem.cheers!

God i hope dji makes a hybrid drone
Well, you can fly the Avata in stabilized modes (Normal or Sports mode). So it is kind of a hybrid drone :)
@@t0mwhazzup no, I’m actually referring to some info I have from a source at DJI. They are concepting a drone that flies like an fpv but with a modified 3 axis gimbal. Not sure if and when it would come out tho.
i'm a 30fps convert.
What frame rate did you use before and why did you change your mind?
@@t0mwhazzup Initally with my mavic air from yester years i was already a 30 fps guy but swayed by a lot of drone people yapping about 24fps. But now i'm back to what i was thanks to you and your jaw-dropping videos.
@@shredgardener9231 Oh wow, that's nice to hear, it really means a lot to me! I'd always choose the frame rate that is compatible to the intended display device, and for RUclips and other online/social media content that is displayed on computer monitors and smartphones (60 Hz displays mostly), 30 fps is the way to go. 24/25 fps will not play back smoothly, it's simple math. Or 60 fps would also be fine, but this does not have any cinema-like qualities to it because it's too far away from the 24 fps cinema standard. 30 fps is close to that and plays back smoothly. I guess you know my video about this topic already 😉
