Will This Be Your First Drone?

2016-07-31
I'm very excited today together we are going to experience my very first drone very important moment in unbox therapy history the solo smart drone with the gimbal attachment this guy right here as you can tell this is the setup it is a smart drone rather than have a camera built-in this lets you use your own GoPro hero3 3 plus or 4 I have the 4 Black Edition charging right now so we're gonna send this bird up in the sky so a little brace there for your smartphone run the app see what's up this guy can do an orbit mode it can actually follow somebody on a bicycle in a car as you can see here it's mounted up without the gimbal so it'll work like that but it's a little bit you know what I'm saying this works on iOS or Android the future whoa Oh My look at the kickball whoa so that's a Nexus 6p this guy controls the camera angle looks like look at that that's the important part holy here are the props that's where all the magic happens charge brick very important component here I think it's good for close to 20 minutes okay last up the gimbal your GoPro goes inside of here power comes like this constantly making adjustments for stabilization I'm going to get this baby charged up we're going to hit the street then we're going to hit the sky so once you get the whole unit set up and you've got the gimbal mounted on there as well as your GoPro attached which you can see is in this location over here you're pretty much ready to roll you're gonna need to install the application right iOS and Android and then from there there's a couple of updates to do but then your phone becomes the monitor for this camera and then broadcasting that via private Wi-Fi network out to your display you're no longer trying to spot the drone in the sky instead you're doing your monitoring on the phone and from the viewpoint of the drone so the interface displays some key information here you could see the height of the drone there's a button to initiate flight the battery level the charging status of the GoPro is a selfie mode cable cam where you can set up some predetermined points and have the drone follow those orbit and then follow which will actually have it follow an individual moving object and then of course you've got the display readout on the controller itself which is going to give you some information as well regarding battery reception and GPS another cool thing is the whole controller it like rumbles when the drone is coming into land it's almost like a pulse like a heartbeat like buh buh buh buh buh boom so you know what's up you know what you're doing so in the back you've got controls here for the angle of the camera on the gimbal and you can set up some presets as well so if you've got a couple of angles that you like you can quickly toggle between the two preset one and preset two so there you have it my very first drone what if I discovered droning is fun a lot of fun if you haven't flown one of these things you should definitely give it a shot and hopefully this is the start of many successful drone flights and drone videos I want to cover some other ones in the market place let's do it together mean you
