I've successfully reached the other side of the lake oh no check this out look at this I see something big rumor has it about five miles down this trail is a massive world war two bomber called it b23 dragon bomber and it was wrecked here in the mountains of Idaho about 70 years ago we're gonna be taking this brand-new DJI Mavic to pro the one at the massive one-inch sensor in front and see if we can find it and see what's left let's get started the medic-2 pro has all of the same sensors that we saw on the Maverick zoom that I reviewed a couple days ago so whether you're flying forwards backwards left or right you should be protected while you're flying making the drone harder to wreck remember not impossible just harder especially when you're doing the pre-program maneuvers inside of the drone like the asteroid or the hyperlapse all the autonomous flying is being protected with those sensors around the sides of the drone the cool thing about the Maverick tube pro is that with that one-inch sensor it can display 10 bits worth of color which is more colors than most computer monitors can even handle right now so if you're looking to be on the bleeding edge of technology the one-inch sensor with ten bits of color is the way to go more colors allow for more detail and just a better looking image the good news is I've been out here in nature for about two hours now with no internet connection and I haven't had any withdrawals yet so I should be alright so the reason I like using drones is because it brings a whole new dynamic to storytelling like yeah I could film just straight ahead and fill in the whole hike but that wouldn't be interesting you can't see anything around me you can't get any perspective shots of what the area looks like plus a normal hike is something that everybody's seen before but a drone shot is usually from a perspective that no one has seen before adding a whole new level of storytelling to your story also I brought enough water to start a farm but I left all of my food in my truck hopefully doesn't take us too long to find this plane so I've been hiking for about five miles now and if the rumors are true the plane should be on the other side of this massive lake and this isn't just any airplane this isn't a small fighter like the one we saw at the bottom of the ocean in Hawaii this one is a full-fledged bomber b23 with the wingspan of about 92 feet pretty massive it's a little more nerve-wracking 200 pounds of me on very dry it out Wiggly locked I've successfully reached the other side of the lake but still no sign of the plane beginning to have doubts Oh nope check this out look at this I see something big so why is this massive bomber out here in the middle of nowhere next to a lake let me paint a picture for you it's the middle of winter in January 1943 eight guys are in this plane running a normal supply mission when they encounter on a massive winter storm effectively icing up their wings and not allowing them to fly which is kind of important when you're in an airplane their fuel was running low and their radio had cut out so they were narrowed down to a couple options one is jump out of the plane that's inevitably gonna crash with a parachute but there's eight guys and they would have ended up scattered all over the countryside so I think they made the correct decision in hindsight to stay in the plane and try to land it as best as possible looking out the window of their plane they saw what they thought was a massive field where they could land their plane safely turns out it was a lake they ended up overshooting the field the first time because the flaps on their wings were iced up effectively not allowing the plane to stop or slow down so they banked up hard and turned around and tried it a second time knowing that the plane wasn't gonna slow down enough for them to land safely they ended up overshooting what they thought was that field and crashed their plane through the trees effectively ripping off both wings but all eight guys survived one did break his leg though so three or four days after they had crash-landed three of the guys ended up hiking 40 miles to the nearest town took him 15 days to go get help after that another plane was able to come and pick up the remaining five guys who stayed behind with the guy who had broke his leg one thing that is super interesting is that the Air Force was not super pleased with their high-tech piece of equipment getting crashed from a missile 70 years ago so the Air Force ended up coming out themselves and taking 1200 pounds of sensitive equipment and the instrument panels out of the wreck so people couldn't steal our technology of course this wreck has been here for more than 70 years now and a lot of humans have come up to visit as well taking the propellers scavenging humans are a problem when it comes to historical artifacts but I think it's pretty cool it's not every day that you get to come and see a piece of history where it happened everything in this video was filmed using the DJI Mavic 2 with this massive one-inch camera sensor in the front of the drone just like with the MAV exhumed this drone does have the safety sensors in the front the sides right here and also in the back of the drone which is pretty cool and on the bottom we also have some more sensors the build of the Mavic 2 Pro is basically the same as the Mavic zoom except for the gimbal and the camera in the center so the controller of the Mavic 2 Pro is effectively the same as the Mavic zoom that we tested a couple days ago this circle over here on the left side controls the camera gimbal which can also go up and down and point at the sky which is kind of cool and then the circle over here on the other side is actually used for the aperture aperture means you can kind of decide what is in focus and how much of the background is blurred when you're taking video of something with the drone so I would say if you're into the super cinematic shots where the background needs to be blurred lots of bokeh there needs to be lots of color the Mavic 2 Pro is probably the drone for you personally I think I go more for the features of the drone and having the capability to zoom in on something while not losing inequality is super important especially for the drone history videos I do like these so for me I'm probably going to end up using the DJI zoom a little more often than I will the Hasselblad 1 inch sensor pro version of the Mavic 2 if you haven't seen any of my other drone history videos I will go ahead and link them here for you and let me know what drone you think is best which would you prefer the zoom or the super colorful one-inch Hasselblad sensor pro version of the Mavic 2 either way thanks a ton for watching and for coming out here with me to see this beautiful wreck of a plane and the history behind it and I will see you around
