Thanks. If the conditions are good and I have the time, I send it!

Gotta love those sunrise rips! Thanks.

Pretty much I build my own, using 2-3" frames and 2S-4S controllers. I like the the Cinelog30 or Pavo30 clones I've built with 4S850 giving at least 5 minutes ripping and 7 minutes cruising. Thanks.

About 4 minutes. Had to cut some footage out to match the song's length. A guy can have a lot of fun with a rig like this. Thanks again Ox!

Thanks Ray. I finally tamed this 2.5" quad so it doesn't dance around on its own to much.

Thanks Leo! Glad you enjoyed it.

It's rare to have a clean flight doing this. It doesn't take much to have something suck up into a prop, then down she goes! Thanks.

Thanks. FPV provides many unique perspectives. How lucky we are that we can fly like this. Don't even have to leave the yard!

Thanks. Come for the FPV, stay for the music! Not many snakes here, but the other morning I spooked a deer that was napping in all that brush. Scared the hell out of me!

@TommyTester plenty of big ole black snakes here, when they surprise me 🤯

These blossoms just bloomed. The bees will soon come to feast. Nature is amazing. Thanks Oxman!

@@ILLBEDRONED LOL. Yeah, poor mini daisy! Was a bit windy but the test was a success. Putting the camera on NARROW acted like a zoom. Perfect for this application. Thanks.

@TommyTester I get the zooming. I run my gopro on superview, and items in the center are so far away. Really looked good, almost like a macro setting!

@@ILLBEDRONED Yaaas. I usually set on widest but I tried narrow and yup kind-of a macro like setting. Learned something new today!

Thanks Cash!

I don't actually know how well I've landed unless I film it! I got lucky on this one! I'm trying to grease them in rather than dive-bomb in and bounce like I usually do. 😛 Thanks!!

Thanks James. Yes, the ground cam adds a nice touch, plus people are always curious about the quad and cameras used.

Thanks Ox. Yeah I fully uploaded the clip only to realize the song caused it to be blocked, thus some re-edit to squeeze in a cover. I should have known better. As for camera #2 it does add a bit of Hollywood but it helped me to advance my editing skills. Always more to learn and experience with this hobby. Thanks again!

🤠👍

Thanks. This rig just hits all the buttons for this PP. Matched up with a mood-fulfilling tune and it's a good way to top off a productive day. Cheers mate!

Thanks man. I'm not sure where I bought it; it's been a few years!

I was in the zone! Thanks.

Yeah, there is something about these small cine ones that is so appealing. Exploring the jungle below 3 feet. You should try it before our green turns to white! Thanks Barty.

@@TommyTester Barty? LOL, you have now become part of a very small group of people to have ever called me that 😉 I take it as a term of endearment😁

Yes, 29g plus the mount. The Thumb Pro is 16g plus mount. I lost my GO2 in the woods ... it got stripped off apparently when I skimmed a branch and I've yet to find it. Ughhhh. That drove me crazy. A naked Peanut would be a good project.

That's funny in my poison ivy video I lost my go2 but lucky found it but got poison ivy

Thanks Ray. It's a cheap camera but pretty good all things considered. Thanks for the comment.

180 grit AO.

Yes, it has its niche. I'd love a naked 4K GO3S (would run off the flight pack like the Thumbs). The optics and colors are way better. I'm half tempted to butcher one to find out. It likely would drop the weight from 39g to under 20g like the Thumbs. 2-inch is just a lot of fun for yard gamers like me. Thanks for watching James.

Fantastic flying and filming Tommy. I think the footage looks nice. I'm still personally enamored with the 03 Air Unit and am switching my 7" quad from analog/action cam to 03AU/GoPro or even 03AU alone like I do with my 3.5" build. I love how the technology is rapidly advancing to the point where we can have quality digital HD video even on small craft. It does come at a cost which is why those thumbs from RunCam and Hawkeye still have a niche in my opinion. I've been seriously considering a Mobula 8 with 03AU for my next model so I can fly indoors without annoying the wife and scaring the dog too bad.😅 Thanks for sharing your adventures. Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻

@@Sonic_Ox yeah, when I got into FPV there was only analog, and by some accident I ended up with a dozen or more quads and still like them all. In happy with strapping on digital cameras to record at this point. In glad you're enjoying FPV and skating your big skies!

I hear ya, Tommy. I got in around 2016 and couldn't really commit much money to the hobby. I flew a Hubsan H501s. It was a pretty good quad for the price at that time. I used the screen on the controller mostly and I bought some really crummy eachine goggles for "fpv." It wasn't great, but I could record 1080p to an onboard xd card. It had GPS and some other nice features. It was enough to get me hooked on quads. I got into 3d printing at about the same time and found the two hobbies combined really well. I was happy as a clam with all that for six or seven years, never wanting to drop a kilobuck or more for a DJI setup. When the Hubsan started giving me trouble around 2023, I decided to upgrade my kit. After much mental back and forth, I decided to build my own quads and get into "proper" fpv. My first build was an analog 7" but the digital experience with my second build (3.5") was SHOCKINGLY better than anything I'd tried, so I vowed to just save money and be patient and keep pursuing digital. With that mindset, I haven't been able to amass much of a fleet, but I've been happy with what I've built so far. Thank you for sharing your journey too, Tommy. Your vids are always an inspiration and a learning experience for me. Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻

@@Sonic_Ox interesting story. I've been flying RC models for 50 years, and full size aircraft since 1982. It's the flying part that I like the most, but filming allows me to re-enjoy each flight as well as share them.

Yep my fault, was hooked to my ear buds lol!!

@@ILLBEDRONED Your hearing might be the next to go! LOL. Thanks boss!

Good input. Thanks Ox!

Thanks. The 3S1100 is a bit heavy for this whoop but it gives around 8 minutes, so some footage had to be trimmed out to fit the music. I've had trouble with some of my Thumbs over the years, either they die or the sensor starts to flake out, but they are light. I've been eyeing the new Hawkeye camera. We'll see.

@@TommyTester I broke my micro sd card slot in a crash. I have also thought about the Hawkeye camera. Albert Kim has a review of it.

@@FlybyJames I'll check it out. Thanks.

Thanks. Sometimes these little quads are a hoot, and a good fit at the end of a long day. Glad to see your healing up!

@@TommyTester I need a 1 or 2s for some guerrilla whooping. They're pretty stealthy to fly..

Thanks Ray! Analog is not dead!

Thanks. If you do this long enough you'll find that songs that you like are not long enough to cover most flights, which are generally over 4 minutes. I many times have to edit out some of the footage to get it to fit the chosen song's length. If you like songs from the 50s, it's even worse, as they are closer to 3 minutes in length as they had to fit on a 45RPM record. I had to hunt around to find a new music selection to match this flight's length without a cut. In general I don't care for soft rock songs like this one from S&G. Keep 'em flyin' Ox!

I hear ya, Tommy. My typical flight is between five and seven minutes. I like one take, whole flight edits best. I'm primarily a classic rock fan, and many of my favorites do go long enough, but I often have to put two songs in the edit. My current strategy is to search my music library by time. I have my entire music collection copied to iTunes (and backed up copiously, lol). I just list all songs (there are thousands) by time and choose ones I like that are the same length as the video clips, then edit them all together in DaVinci Resolve. I think the film editing software has as steep a learning curve as drone building and flying 😂. I'm learning a lot and having a blast. It's a great way to comb through the music collection and listen to some stuff I haven't heard in a while. Thanks again for creating content that I find interesting, informative, and entertaining Tommy. Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻

@@Sonic_Ox Sounds almost exactly like my story when it comes to music selection. I don't use itunes but rather rip mp4 audio from YT videos.

🤠👍

Thanks ... Caddx Peanut (ie:GO2). I do have a bunch of videos using the Thumbs on 2-2.5" quads. I have a GO3 but it isn't really any better than the GO2 as far of video quality goes, and it weighs more. I like playing with them all.

@@FlybyJames Yaaaaas. I have too much $$$$ in analog to switch, still able to make good content and enjoy the rip. Crux was on my list but you can't have them all. Thanks.

Yup. Many older songs I liked back in the day no longer sound that great, but some are timeless like this one. Not sure why it took so long for me to rip with it. Thanks again.

Yes, we humans are somewhat programmed to listen to a decent sounding sound to its end, which about matches our FPV flight time. That's one way viewers tend to watch a whole flight, even if the flight isn't our best. Thanks.

​🤠👍

Thanks. I actually heard this song today and wanted to rip a pack to match. I might start doing that on all my runs. Your turn!

@TommyTester I'm still grounded trying to mend. It's been a slow process. I can't wait to get in the air again!

@@ILLBEDRONED Let us be your inspiration! Hang in there!

Cinewhoop freestlying ... is there such a thing? Thanks.

@@TommyTester free whoop? Cine style? Idk if it's a thing, but it's certainly my thing 😉

Thank Ox. Try some low and precise flying, your skills will increase dramatically.

That's good advice Tommy. Thank you. Have a great day. Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻
