hi guys welcome to another juicy vlog
we're very excited about filling today's
video on me we are indeed our new drone
has arrived like a month earlier than
we're expecting here it is that was a
plan that was about this isn't a normal
kind of video we're gonna doing do a
quick review today for you guys we're
gonna unbox it here then we're gonna
head straight out it's a gorgeous day
outside unlike a lot of videos we've
seen for these unboxings and they're
kind of like professional like drone
pilots and like experts in their field
however we all kind of we've had its
tremble we've we've currently selling
our DJI phantom 3 advanced so we have
thrown a drone before we've never played
this basically we've never flown this
one so you're gonna see like a stripped
back review today need rain very very
excited we're gonna get out the box and
like you said we're gonna get it
straight outside first of all we're
amazed how small like the boxes it's
tiny the drain the main reason we're
upgrading from the Phantom is that the
Phantom is huge the barrel gotta carry
around in this massive this is so
compact so small and if some of you guys
do receive this and think Pamela didn't
order the white one all the boxes have a
white drain on but you've got a little
thing on the top here that says what
color you're guessing and I saw someone
say that and I'm I'm over this and I
went hang on what so let's open it do it
so straightway the carry case and I
think the drone is in this is crazy
go get the one for our bag for our home
Joe so this is the back we're currently
using for the fans and three of Barnes
look at the size and Harrison here guys
look at that that is a joke that's life
we need to carry this around in look at
that this is crazy so this is the first
thing that you see in the box underneath
that you've got the propellers and the
propeller protect the things and with
the instructions in there and then
you've got the video controller which
again is absolutely tiny but we'll show
you bit more about the things in a set
then all you're like charger things and
here but standard stuff that the joint
is actually inside this thing it is tiny
there is that fly more bundle you can
get with this drone and I thought the
fly ball had this back in it but it
turns out it's a separate travel bag but
when I saw that I was really happy
because I thought we weren't having a
case all right you understand it we
nearly ordered an extra bag for that 60
quid because we're like we don't have a
case but luckily
comes with this which is a little bit
wow this is so small that's crazy look
at that I actually fits if you look in
online of this you don't know how big is
they actually fits in the palm of my
hand this is an iPhone 7 not the class
similar size to iPhone 7 I think it is
the same class of the class I'd say yeah
that's ridiculous mad so basically they
all flips out you don't have to propel
us on this giant which is the best thing
I think we're not gonna okay they flip
out like that to the bottom the back
ones flip out under like that frontal
ones go around they flip out and then
you ready to fly so much easier than
twisting on the propellers by hand on
the Phantom series you can see it's not
gonna buggies in there yeah and then
you've got like two cameras on the front
the sentences two on the back and then
two underneath yet you under here as
well yeah so if you're flying forwards
and backwards it's not gonna hit into
objects if you go towards a tree or a
building it stops before you hit it not
that we recommend flying it into a tree
rebuilding to test that out I will not
be doing that today no right we're gonna
get this thing outside guys we know
that's what you really want to be before
we go this is the controller it's so
much smaller as well thankfully out like
this and instead of fiddling around let
the other fountain we had to have like a
Mac able to plug our phones in here
you've got a little adapter here that we
call it an adapter might look like an
iframe pull up there and then you
literally just slot it in put it outside
okay we've come out to the location
we're going to fly the drone it is cold
and it's windy so this is actually gonna
be a really really good test for the
Maverick air and because it is smaller
we did kind of wonder how it would
handle in the wind yeah let's get it up
so with the controller these little bits
here come out I'll do it back to front
hang on and then inside so you can see
these little like what I call joystick
things on there and then underneath here
you let you put it out of here and then
screw on here so now they're on and then
these little things come up here so then
we've got to plug the phone in so
obviously - bit there into here and then
there's bone like slide stuff into that
I think it's really cool cuz it's now
like it's such a small controller and
they know it's like a normal sized ones
but it's made up from maybe your phone I
still probably if it just comes in this
size bag here we go so firstly we're
going to take off the gimbal protector
like that little bit of plastic fold out
the downward legs first then the side
ones and then on the side ones the
landing gear so these little things so
that's gonna make sure it's nice and
steady on the ground for you to take off
okay we've calibrated the compass and
we've got GPS we've got 14 satellites
we're connected to says ready to go
let's get it in the air
[Music]
well so far we're getting a lot of like
signaling saying that it's very very
windy out so we have been quite powerful
attitude is too large backward sensing
is unavailable what does that mean you
can see it's been dragged by the wind
I'm not controlling it and it's like
being pushed over so we try some of the
trick shots in a minute yeah
we're currently in 4k 24 frames per
second and it's looking really good
hands gonna hold on right and it's all
cool it's tracking mark as you're
walking around so it's tracking us all
down here we've got it set up to do some
trick shots and you've got drainie
circle helix rocket boomerang asteroid
[Music]
there's currently just done the asteroid
move where is that really I can't go
yeah in the same place they're now gonna
try the boomerang mode let's see how it
goes in this wind so what do i do again
[Music]
so we're trying out the smart move now
Malusi is able to control the drone with
her hands they go this is so cool guys
like lutz you just watch everything and
it knows like it doesn't let it get too
close to me sorry it's beeping more a
low-battery oh yeah there we go you're
gonna hit me really impressive that
considering how windy it is like it is
really really really windy we're getting
loads of caution messages coming up on
the screen but it stayed wrote was it
was very stable
we haven't seen the footage yet but
we'll have a look them to get home the
best thing to me is how like compact it
is and how easy it is to use and not
having to fiddle around putting the
propellers on every time and it was
really fun playing around the different
modes we all do more of that and get
more practice um since it was our first
flight today so and we'll have a look
and see sort of what other things they
can do and play around with other ones
and obviously we like we did the boom
range of some like a patch of grass and
stuff but you can imagine it was like
this amazing scenery in front of you
like it's gonna be really cool I think
we're gonna use it a lot so keep an eye
out for our usual videos we're gonna be
using this a lot thank you so much for

real-life sort of tutorial and review on
the pneumatic we are so excited this and
can't wait to get out and use it more
