What do you think? Predictions?
I don't know. I've got 2.0.
Yeah, I'm going to go with my drone.
I'm going to go with the air. I think mine will beat it.
You think? I think so.
I hope so. Let's see. We'll see.
All right.
So we're going to fly from this overpass
down the nowhere road past the Discovery
thing and then to the next overpass.
Not sure how far away that is, but we'll find
out. First going to do it with this.
You got one battery left for the test
and then we're going to fly the same route
with the Phantom 4 2.0.
OcuSync 1 versus OcuSync 2.
I like how you trust me.
Thank you, Cam.
And we will be able to fly over traffic
because we're actually flying over a bridge.
Hi!
Oh, the birds.
Oh, they hate it. Are they getting near it?
Oh, let's get out of here, man.
Oh, that was close.
Have you ever had one hit one before?
No. Are they going after it for real?
Yeah, look at them. They're chasing it down the
street.
Oh, that's no good.
Let me know if I need to land.
Oh, you're cool.
We started out with a battery at 54 percent,
man. Did we?
Yeah.
Well, that's no good.
Do you have? I don't know if this is this is
inadvisable.
That's not going to cut it.
What do you think? Go or no?
I'll go and see what it'll do.
You heard him.
We're going.
Uh oh. Return to home.
Boy, that happened.
Why is it returning to home?
It just stopped. It was stopped connecting.
OK.
Aircraft not connected.
OK. Did a bird hit it?
No, it just it just it just died out of range
then.
That quickly?
Yeah. Like it doesn't gradually.
It just.
Yeah, that's what I've run into now.
If you don't have range, it'll all of a
sudden it'll tell you it's returning to
home.
Yeah, it's it's returning to home.
Is it? Yeah.
OK, there you go.
You should get you should get a picture
here any second.
OK.
This.
OK.
Wow.
OK.
Tap to cancel.
So.
Yeah. All right.
So that was a little over seven thousand
feet.
Wow.
I'm going to sport mode it back.
We're at 40 percent.
You should make it.
I like your optimism.
I don't think it'll make it, man.
You're all about drama here, aren't we?
Do you think it'll make it?
Well, we'll see.
Oh, I'm sweating 31 percent.
All right. Joe's still on the radio.
Joe's still on the radio. We got him.
He didn't want to be on camera, but we
do have a second visual observer.
All right. Yeah, we're headed back.
I'm going to cross the
street.
On the bridge.
There he is.
Oh, still in sport mode and take
it out.
No kidding.
Ten.
Perfect.
Eight.
Now what?
Cancel.
There we go. Oh, my goodness.
You're going to do it.
Yeah.
Shoo-bah!
Yeah!
Oh, dude.
We've landed safely.
All right.
Let's put up on the board the
distance from the Mavic Air
2.
There it is.
And so that's the distance
to beat before automatic
return home kicks
in. What do you think? Predictions?
I don't know. I've got 2.0.
Yeah.
I'm going to go with my drone.
I'm going to go with the Air 2.
I think mine will beat it.
You think?
I think so.
I hope so. Let's see.
We'll see. All right.
Make sure there's no birds.
Shall we do one of those up, up
and away shots?
Go for it.
All right. You wave and I'll do
it.
Up, up and away.
And everybody driving down the
highway is going, what the heck
are they doing?
The Mavic Air 2 didn't
make it to the overpass.
Oh, really?
Almost.
I thought he had went past.
No, he's just about to.
Six thousand.
I got the pedal to the metal
here.
It's getting a little scratchy.
Seven thousand.
Oh, aircraft disconnected.
So let's see.
We'll have to go back to the
telemetry.
I think yours may have beat
it by like a couple hundred feet.
Yeah. Seventy two.
Wow.
I was not expecting that.
Should I try?
I'm going to go up to
400 feet max
and see if we can get a little
further.
Oh, yeah.
What do you think?
I'm not cheating.
I'm just curious.
I'm going to go down on yours.
I'm going to go up on mine.
This is science, man.
Science, man.
We'll keep going till it
disconnects again and then we'll
try the Mavic Air 2
at 400 feet.
All right. No cars.
I can cross.
Can I make it to the next
overpass?
You're shaming me.
You'll have another try.
Any cars coming?
Nope.
Are you still watching the
drone?
Yeah, I think that's
that's going to be past where he
can see. So
we'll stop it at that overpass.
I think I can keep going.
So I'm going to turn around,
come back, tell Joe I'm
coming back.
OK, I'm sure I'm a little dot
to him.
OK, we're we're turning and
we're coming back to you.
So max distance 13, 5
to 6 at 403
feet.
I'm going to zippy doo dah back.
Says the remaining battery is
only enough for return to home.
Return home now.
High wind velocity.
That's what makes this hobby
fun.
The edgier seat.
Don't know what's going to
happen.
Absolutely.
Hello, friend.
Oh, oh,
oh, I need to.
I need to sit down.
Well, that was a surprising
result.
Oh, yeah.
You want to go again and try to
try to top it?
Because I think at 400
feet, you're going to have
better connectivity.
I don't know, Ken, it's just
hard to top you, dude.
That's true.
Well, that's it. Thanks for
watching. Thanks for
subscribing until next time.
But and by.
Now, I'm just kidding, we can't
leave it like that.
We got to give it another shot.
Attempt number two for the
Mavic Air 2.
Electric Boogaloo.
Here we go.
No, you fly, man.
Oh, no, you fly.
Oh, no.
And away we go.
Oh, baby.
There we go.
And she's off
raising it up to
400.
OK, Joe, it's coming at you.
We want this test to be fair.
What are your thoughts?
Fully charged battery.
Attempt number two.
Same height as the Phantom.
Think it'll make it to the
bridge?
Fingers crossed.
OK.
One thousand feet to go
before you blow the Phantom
4 2.0 out of the water.
Let's put that magic number
to beat up on the screen again.
As I see
a truck, we're
not going to fly over him.
Good.
This is impressive.
I remember the Phantom
started crapping out near
that lake up there.
See if Joe can still see it.
OK.
All right, Joe, you still got a
spot.
I just keep an eye on it.
All right.
You've done it, DJI.
Good job.
That's about where you are.
Weren't you about 77 when you
had to turn around?
Yeah.
OK.
We can't go much further.
Tell Joe to let us know exactly
when he can't see it anymore
because we can't go farther and
he can see.
OK.
Let us know when you can't see
it.
Jeez.
How many miles is 15
thousand feet?
Three miles.
We needed a third spotter.
Wow.
OK.
It's just I'm going to stop
at 15,000.
OK. We're getting ready to stop
it and come back your way.
So what do you say?
He said he couldn't see it
anymore.
So can you see it?
All right. We're going to turn
around right there.
All right.
We need to turn around.
All right. Well, wow.
Just wow.
I didn't want to like this so
much, but I do.
Yeah.
How much was this thing?
Let's see.
With the combo, I think it was
right about a thousand.
And it was OK with the wife that
you got this.
That's a that's a no.
All right.
Let's hightail it back.
Yeah. Look at it.
Like a boss.
You see that?
Here's the winner.
Yeah.
Winner's coming in.
I didn't want to like it so
much.
Well, there you go.
Impressive.
Final thoughts.
I love it.
Damn it. I love it.
Damn you.
Well, thanks for letting me fly
and thank you for participating
in this experiment.
Oh, it was awesome.
And I want to thank
you for being a first
responder.
Well, thank you.
Campbell here is with the fire
department.
Yes. The volunteer fire department
member. Where?
Reeves.
Reeves. Where is that?
South of Union City, about
two miles, three miles.
So for our international viewers,
what state?
Tennessee.
What country?
United States.
What planet?
Planet Earth.
What universe?
Well, really.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for subscribing.
Until next time.
Buh.
And bye.
I have this in another video of
mine. Make sure that the camera
is straightforward
and then you can tell using
perspective
if you're able to go under
something.
So if you are able to see
under the other side of the wing,
then you know that
you can make it
like that.
I'm getting near that wheel.
In fact, I'm real close to it.
