Many times I have mentioned this test to drone channels. You are the first I have seen conduct the test. I have the two same drones as you. I'm glad you did the test instead if me!
Thanks for the video and the test Nobby. Sorry you had to go through all the repairs but happy that you didn't have any major/unfixable damage. Cheers, Bob
Very good point Nobby,. I've always had that thought in the back of my mind when I've been filming content (mainly my cruise ship stuff) there could be likely more than just me going for that same particular shot and you wouldn't know until it was too late. Glad there wasn't too much damage mate, and it wasn't over the water 😊👍
As Dave said below, perhaps the foliage at that low altitude made the M3 more difficult to see from the Mini's POV. I've done this same type of test with my Mavic 1 and a huge Typhoon I have but at 30 feet in the air. Kept the Q500 hovering and ran the Mavic at it slowly in Normal mode. The Mavic spots it every time. Doesn't go around it, rather, it simply comes to a halt. Cheerio Mate from Calif.
Could well have been. I had the mini 4 set to bypass mode and looking at the footage it did detect it but failed to go around on the last attempt . Thanks 🙏
Hi Nobby. That unfortunate collision seemed to be when the mini was in the area with dark background. Wonder if that is why the Mavic did not see it. Now to follow and see the accident investigation. Amazing amount of water around and in the Trent. Best Dave
Neither will do any form of obstacle avoidance other than from below when they are stationary, so they never would have done anything against anything coming from above or horizontally.
I have drone footage from beeston/clifton weir side showing the devastation on my channel. I couldn't believe how high the water had risen. So sorry to hear about your drones, I hope you carry on flying regardless.
We thank you for your dedication and sacrifice. It's a bit sad that APAS 5 is still so unreliable, I finally hit a wall today while testing this obstacle avoidance system. We are waiting for APAS10 with 3D lidar...
You’re welcome I think there’s only me mad enough to attempt this one 😁It’s not 100% that is a fact! In your case it should of seen a wall 🤷♂️ thanks 🙏
Thanks for that Nobby - very interesting. I wonder if, apart from the dark background, the speed was slightly faster on the last test? I'll certainly keep one of mine in the case when the other is flying in the future 🥺
Interesting test, just shows how basic and crude these 'obstacle avoidance' sensors are really on the 'higher end' drones.😮🤔 As pilots we have higher expectations of them to be super efficient and avoid every obstacle, in reality they rarely do. I've been flying with 4 or 5 other drone pilots in the same location and the chances of hitting each other is almost negligible. 1 other drone with the pilot 500m away is not really a high risk of collision, it's possible but the odds would be like winning the lottery! 😁👍
We do indeed and the OA is hit and miss pardon the pun😁 I agree that it’s a one in a million but apparently there is a video on here somewhere of this very situation happening 😳 thanks 🙏
There's a video on RUclips of a guy flying his drone on a beach facing out towards the ocean and sun. Out of nowhere, another drone comes out from the sun glare, and both drone hit each other head on
That's awful! Sorry for your community and your drones. I crashed my Mini 3 about 2 weeks ago, thankfully I had care refresh and a day ago got my brand new Mini3.
I had my mini 3 and 4 flying together the other night and face to face neither of them alerted for obstacles so I assumed they were not seeing each other. Now I know for sure. Thank you for sharing this and glad all you had to do was replace props.
@@nobby-green good call I was indoors with good lighting and they picked up everything else around but I'll have to try it again outside during the day
Hi Nobby. Good video. I tried the same thing as you but I never got as close as you did lol. Glad there's not to much damage. I all so tried to track my air 3 with my Mini 4. I could get a lock on but as soon as there were trees in the background it would lose lock on :( I did think putting some bright coloured stickers to bring up the contrast.... I've not tried it yet. Regards Richard
You sir always do things over the top of all the others...best drone channel around...so of course you would be the very first to wreck 2 drones at once...lol?? i pray all is well and repairs are swift and lasting...may God flood you in His peace and safety i pray as well...
Lol that sucks, man! Crashing one would be bad enough for me. I don’t think there’s a way to prepare seeing 2 drones crash. Great video. I’d agree. If it don’t work 100% of the time, the answer is no, eh?
Great test, you are a braver man than me lol.. Looking at that a couple of times and it seems the actual collision happened when the Mavic 3 was below the skyline, On test 2 , 3 and the first part of test 4 you could see sky surrounding it. Glad there is not too much damage. 👍😁
@@steve61098 no Steve you also get other features such as waypoints 👍 I did a review on the mini 4 pro on my channel OA is on the 3 pro too but no side sensors
...all the more reason I'm hopeful that DJI will add display of "drone near-by" and position on the HUD for RFID like they do on Air 2/Mavic 3 for ADS-B of planes/helis. If we HAVE TO have RFID, I'm hopeful they add reception/display of it if any signals are seen. It would dramatically add to the safety of flying in congested drone areas...
Oh, you never nobby. You know the mini 4 is made out of recycled twigs, and we know how the obstacle avoidance can't see those invisible twigs,lol. I was never under any illusion. 2 drones coming together would be a disaster. I'm glad it wasn't a total disaster but a good test all the same. Let's everyone know what to expect. Happy flying nobby👍
I am sceptical about the frog eye design. I have seen a few videos where blind spots can occur. I would say if you had tried the same manoeuvre using the Mini 3 pro instead, the crash would not of happened.
I'm thinking that even if the obstacle avoidance worked who os to say that both drones wouldn't have taken the same evasive maneuver and crashed anyway. Also if both drones are moving could the processor keep up with decision making. Great video and glade the damage was minor.
Some of Ken Heron's crash videos have shots of the 1:1,000,000 chance of successful drone mating in 3 dimensions at altitude so it certainly can happen. Things seem to be exacerbated by the combined speed of closure at times which wouldn't allow any auto systems time to react, also the fact with panning/backing out shots not having visibility in direction of flight. Auto systems may protect against of backing into big slow things like trees, but if they can already miss some less obvious wirestrike risk (against something stationary & not as obvious as trees) then it is not unexpected that something small & fast could easily outstrip the protection. One of the silliest/most avoidable crashes shown was 2 people using the same take-off pad.... one drone landing in auto RTH at the same time as another ascending from take-off at the same time. The auto avoidance also wasn't successful there.
Nobby, sorry for the mishap and damage to your drones. The results speak for themselves, Dji’s APAS needs work. I wonder what Dji would say regarding this issue might be worth a try reaching out to them. Maybe they would replace one or both of your drones. Regards Lou🇺🇸
Nobby, Lou here. I would let Dji be the judge of that. Perhaps inviting Dji to review the video and your portfolio of videos showing that you provide possitive content for their brand and are NOT an amateur. In this case, you were testing the capabilities of two very popular Dji drones and their most popular technology. It's worth a try. I'm certain Dji would prefer positive "customer service" comments than a company with no regard for their customer's needs and reasonable expectations.As someone always says, "lets do this"😊@@nobby-green
Why did you not send the Mavic 3 for repair or get a new one? Did you have care refresh on that drone? It would have bothered me very much if that happened to my Mavic 3 classic.
@@grossi46 Seems that they have now changed it to 7 days, but it will give you chance to try it, and you get to keep the music if you dont sign up. Its definitely worth it in my opinion. Thanks
hello i had the same problem with my air 3 and it chrashed into a tree the sensors are not working good at all dji said the tree was to thinn so the sensors didnt see it but its a big problem of the sensors
Precision screw drivers..... I've got a good kit containing "every size". The screw driver coming with the drone was the one that fits the best! Remember to keep a firm pressure when turning Philips screws! Why is there only one thumb up available?
That all depends on the budget and what you want from it. The DJI mini 3 pro is on offer most of the times but lacks some of the features of the 4. Less restrictions on the minis too 👍
You might want to point out that if you try and fix damaged drones yourself it will cancel any care refresh from DJI. The classic was never going to move away as it was hovering. However the so called all singing pro 4 mist definitely should have avoided. But then as i have seen with other 4 pros don't believe the hype .
Side by side..... The left is during flooding. Look at the bridge pillars. Much of dirt in the water.... Your flooded area is much larger then the one I recorded some time ago, and today. Happy not living there. Floating houses are nedded... Reading the tittle i wondered if You've got completely out of Your mind, crashing two drones (assumed 2 different occasions). There are videos showing OA versus braking action. They were done towards a stationary object. Flying nose towards nose a crash is guaranteed. No braking action whatsoever would prevent a crash. Never count on OA is my idea. Once got the red part cirles high up in the air and wondered what on earth the reason was. Still no idea. Last Christmas I was asked to fly and make some recordings. Quickly the low afternoon light made the drone (Mavic 3 Pro) system tell: OA not available. In darkness night camera mode was selected. The same message, OA not available in that mode. The less of automatic functions one use and the more piloting, the better. Some flying has been done in controlled airspace. When filling in the request form existing drone flyers are shown. Then its very satisfactory to here from air traffic control that there's air between us. Last time 2 flights resulted in 12 phone calls with the tower! Several urgent helicopter flights contributed. The tower seemed to have got all papers flying around, and ending the wrong flight, my ongoing flight.... But we sorted it out... Those 2 flights have more to tell....
Thanks for that insight Nobby; sorry about the consequences though, hope you get everything sorted. But what are the chances of a mid flight collision I wonder, to be in the same precise position and at the same altitude? Maybe 1 in 2 - 5 billion? If I see another flyer I don’t tend to worry 🤔🫣
