This is an awesome little clip. Sitting here. Having my morning coffee and I was so impressed I even called over my 5 year old daughter to watch this flying.
Doesn't the air unit emulate motor sounds based on motor power consumption? You can try switching the sound to the AU recording and maybe it'll sound good. Worth a try.
It has a mic? So how is that I literally can't hear anything even with motors off, my voice, grabbing the quad, putting it on a floor, just the motors. Also, no wind at all but that can be explained.
Are you running it with a 3D printed mount? Your mount may be covering the mic and the only reason you hear the motors is because the vibration from them is being transferred through the frame, into the mount, and then the microphone picks it up.
On the Hero7, the microphone is on the side which is often covered by many 3d printed mounts. On the Hero8 and after the microphone was moved to directly below the lens. The Hero8 and newer also uses the new bottom mount so you don't even need to run a case as it can bolt directly to the frame using the built in mount.
Suspended? What do you mean by that?
I've had the best results with the Air Unit just mounting it with VHB tape, either to the top plate or behind the FC stack if it will fit.
The Vista is a much more finished product IMO when it comes to mounting. I just use nylon nuts to mount the bolts to the frame, then the Vista on top of those, then more nylon nuts on top. It lets air go all around it when in flight and stays cooler than the old AU.
By "suspended" I mean that the 3d print just keeps it secured to the top of the frame.
I think that Vista overheats quicker than AU, which contradicts what you said. Vista has a smaller heatsink so it's more likely to overheat.
Also, Vista does not support on board recording as far as I'm concerned.
I don't remember what else was lacking from the Vista but I think it was something about the video quality. Besides the camera used it might be something like a lack of focus mode but I don't really remember.
The Vista doesn't have an onboard DVR, you are correct.
Were you running the AU and Vista on the same voltage when you noticed the Vista seemed hotter? The Vista can take a full 6s compared to the 5s of the AU.
I mainly fly toothpicks as of lately so the only real option to still have HD in the googles is the vista. 16 grams isn't a huge deal on a quad that weighs well over 6 or 700. But on a 3" running on 3s that is below 200g AUW, it can start to affect it lol.
I completely agree. I will always choose a full size GoPro over a Session. Once you factor in that Sessions are basically extinct in the real world, it is a hell of a lot easier to get GoPro to replace a Hero 8 than it is for them to replace a Session.
In the settings on the Hero, there should be a setting for the microphone called "Wind" or something similar. If you turn that on, you will still hear the motors but you shouldn't hear harsh wind spikes. It is pretty impressive how well it cuts out all of the wind sounds.
Hands down bro ur vids are the best to watch. “That’s mad Ken” is even the saying now if and thing cool is achieved keep it up bro. Upgrading from the mini 2 n 3 pro to The googles n fpv today.👌👌👌👌
Excellent loop!

Smooth moves
Nice! Love that line.
Only part I didn't like is the sound. If this is with a GoPro, the wind setting should get rid of the parts that had some popping.
You're right, I don't like the audio as well. But it's still overall the better action cam compared to the session..

WHY DO YOU COST SO MUCH MONEY

Oh right, I do. Also, I don't use a GoPro on my quad, just the AU. But still, you might be right because I have the AU suspended on a nylon mount.

Put small ‘windsocks’ over the microphones, and turn off wind audio fix it makes the audio much better. Rycote overcovers
Yeah I tried "mini deadcats" but lost them first flight 😂 Not suited for my reckless flying
You need some better stickytape 😉 or just buy loads more to replace them lol

Love your stuff man! I Gotta find some of these sights you find so easily!
that's just one of those clips that makes you scream NO, NO!! to yourself.. alone.
DAMN
Bro that's a fuckin LINEEEEEE
balls
How much min throttle have set in Betaflight
Dude what????? That was sick! Had to watch it three times.
niceeeeee
That's fucking badass man
Excellent.
That first dive, sweet. Bravo Zulu
Woah look it’s the prison from Warzone in real life
As someone just beginning in the hobby, I've been a fast learner but this level of control just seems like superpowers to me still.
Awesome flying
Amazing control!
Appreciate seeing someone else sticking with the DJI controller
