Adam Savage's Custom Quadcopter Gear

Since getting his DJI Inspire 1 quadcopter, Adam has been flying it regularly to learn its abilities as a videography platform. And as he becomes familiar with its operating procedures, Adam can't help but built custom accessories and gear to optimize his flight setup. From flight log notebooks to battery charging racks, we check out some of Adam's specialized flight equipment.

[@tested]

Anyone here with a quadcopter? How do you store your gear?

[@georgefenrich4119]

I SO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW OF THE UPDATE ON YOUR VIEWFINDER / EYEPIECE? Please, tell me you did move on this! I too only want to fly to GET THE SHOT!

[@delsam1215]

Hello Adam, Great Information on your video, the tables a good Idea i'll try that myself, I use a 12000 Watt generator to enable me to keep my batteries constantly charged. I'm just starting out using a microdrone 2.0+, I have 24 of the 3.7v 500mah 25 C batteries, so by the time I get to battery 24, my first set of batteries are charged and ready to go. I have the generator on a fire retardant mat when in a park and use the same mat in the boot with it open and battery being charged enclosed in a Turnigy fire retardant bag for safety.

[@bluemeanie6395]

I hang all my quads on a wall like artwork

[@dtiydr]

I bot both a TBS on and little bigger DIY one of top of a suitable cabinet and a 250 quad I made a purposely built backpack with all the accessory needed, like goggles, transmitter, batteries extra props and so I could go everywhere I would like where a car or even a bike wont be able to get.

[@3xfaster]

Well, my Mavic Mini is due soon, but I got myself a GPC case for the MM because seeing the soft case and the fact the the MM is my first drone, I wanted to be able to protect that investment. The added bonus was I can make the case my own by sticker bombing it!

[@srobart]

I think Adam is one of the great minds of our time. It's utterly fascinating to watch the solutions that he comes up with to everyday problems and that's why I love when Adam is on the show and the builds he does. He clearly thinks differently than anyone else on the planet. He kind of reminds me of my grandfather, he could solve any problem or build anything he put his mind to. His medium of choice was often wood because he had a wood-working shop (he was a carpenter by trade). He even made his own grandfather clock from scratch, it's 8 feet tall and he made all of the gears and the mechanism from wood, it's truly a work of art. It took him several months to get the gears all fitting properly and the timing down perfect, but it kept perfect time. He's since passed away, but the clock is still in the living room at my grandmother's house. I think my grandfather would have loved this channel too and that's about the highest praise I could give a youtube channel. :)

[@d.saelens4867]

+Scott R cool story but adam has no sus tainable ideas just a nerd with money I have a fuel to replace coal and need money for electric conversions for cars trucks loaders excavators and ships ,, yes I can take oil away adam has a kids mind i did these things as a child but found that men solve problems without causing further damage to the worlds soil water and air , , ,like vid games and tv what a waste of your life at least this copter will get kids out side for a hour off their fat ass and nasty couch culture oh well i started in wood then plastic then metal /stone luv to see the clock must be hard wood for the gears to stand up?

[@swestervelt]

+Scott R let me be honest. kind, and honest comments on youtube are a rarity. Its great to see positive members of the tested community. We are lucky Adam, and all the members of the team, do this great service to the world. Adam is truly the most interesting man in the world, and we get to see into his mind.

[@Pe0ads]

+D. Saelens I look forward to seeing your advancements mate, have to say I'm not convinced until I see anything. Actually doing something with your ideas is what I always find the hardest. So you don't really have a leg to stand on until you have proven yourself "better". And remember, life isn't a zero sum game.

I can see the reasoning behind what Adam is doing and why. It's also a good idea for anyone that flies RC to copy these ideas. I was flying RC 30 years ago and I'm getting back into it. How things have changed!

[@mandelorean6243]

Never meet your heroes. ...presuming he's just happy go lucky cheery, always intrigued , wanting to talk gadgets and science... IS NOT him 24/7... As he admits in his blog/q & a sessions he tells us he can get grumpy, neurotic..not always ĝ

Adam can design and complete projects in a day that would take me 6 months to do....unreal what some people's brains are capable of.

[@devnull7970]

These videos satisfy the OCD part of my brain so much.

[@fasehed]

so true

[@timdoreck3208]

Had a chance to provide the camera boat with Myth Busters in Monterey some years ago. Adam's preparation and attention to even the smallest detail was most impressive at that time. Easy to understand he takes this same focus on safety and preparation to his personal recreation.

[@MikaelMurstam]

I want half of Adam's energy :P

[@iforce2d]

I want his workshop and tools... can probably supply energy myself :)

[@Spoif]

+Mikael Murstam - Unless you were otherwise incapacitated, if you had Adam's creativity and bank balance, energy would probably not be your primary concern.

[@nogwater]

Adam is a gold mine for Kickstarter project ideas!

[@djlobb]

I LOVE how enthusiastic he is about solving problems and showing people. It's really great

[@The1wsx10]

i love how he doesn't make a custom drone or modify the drone whatsoever. instead he makes a nice table and glare covers

[@torqued666]

Good point. He's a lame presenter shill. Real men roll their own with Arduino boards and tweak their gyro code themselves in C. Building a POS tray table with felt and some red circles painted on it? SMH.

[@The1wsx10]

i just expected a little more from one of the mythbusters guys. but now that you say it, im getting my model heli up and running again and coding my own gyro would be pretty fun. im not making my own board though. ill just stick with the mini arduino

[@taxijackmusic]

yeah i came here to see a custom quad. nope.

[@chuckd5877]

That's because he and Jamie were each given a quadcopter after being part of some of their promotional stuff.

[@RCP-1136]

The point of this video is thinking through the flow and preparation and responsibility of flying a drone. As opposed to being a reckless entitled idiot who loses his drone after a week and begs the company for another one simply because of his social status.

[@honkhonk8009]

He lost over 10 drones

[@EllisDesignandTradeCo]

I really enjoyed how he pointed out the fact that the company used a cheap hinge on their box. Imagine all the businesses he could help Improve..this guy is an amazing tinkerer and has quite a bit of knowledge and know-how.

[@dleasman]

OMGosh... Savage IS a savage engineer! Oh, how I miss MB's! The battery shaped case has me jumping out of my seat. To echo your statement... "DJI, are you listening?" Adam, please keep giving the fans what they want... More of you, more of your brain, more of your brilliant ideas and observations. You have more that milliseconds of genius.

[@Colhogan06]

I have quite a few drones. The bigger ones have their own case. There are several nice cases you can get on Amazon that you can customize to fit your needs. Each case I have had room for several extra batteries charging cables, extra props and extra parts that commonly break. This way if something happens I don't have to quit, I can just fix it on the fly, no pun intended, lol. Things just sometimes happen when flying helicopters more than when flying my drones. I got into drone flying by accident and out of a need. I wanted to use the drone to video the roof of my house so I would be able to quickly check it and know how many shingles needed to be replaced. We live in an area that has a windy season so to speak. So every year I have to replace several shingles and the drones help me do this. I now have close to 20 drones and helicopters combined. It's great fun! Thanks for coming up with this show Adam, it's definitely right up my alley and great fun to watch. I loved the lantern episode!!!

[@eyesic]

Adam is a total bad ass.. the way he thinks of things to better whatever glorious thing he doing is just awesome. This is the type of guy you have designing things all day for your product..

[@CPLBSS88]

[@ChristopherFranko]

Adam Savage is my hero.

[@JonProce]

I watched this video fore the sole reason that you didn't call it a drone. Thank you, so much,

[@timbenracing]

***** I do not like to call them drones myself. I think the media has everyone assuming all drones are bad. Our drones are not the one to worry about. Most of us are just having fun. Although there will always be somebody to try some crazy stuff with them and cause trouble. It would be nice to get the general population to use another term for them as far as hobbyists go. Although I do not see that happening anytime soon.

[@JonProce]

***** no, not sarcasm.

[@AttilaTheHun333333]

technically it is (also) a drone...so why don't call it that?!

[@JonProce]

Attila theHun because 'drone' is a media hyped buzzword. It's a quadcopter with a camera. A toy.

[@AttilaTheHun333333]

Just because a word is "media hyped" it doesn't lose its (technically correct) definition.

[@jonbraid2520]

Can't believe I've only just found this channel, Adam is an absolute genius and a massive inspiration!

[@sandman__1295]

OK.... i really enjoyed just listening to Adam's ideas you wouldn't believe how interesting it actually is to listen to all of this, so i would kinda like to hear him more often.

[@YouOriginal]

People tell me I think to much... this guy is my hero...

[@bargh70]

It’s not the quantity it’s the quality of thinking. With the quality nobody’s going to mind how much you think.

[@hakapik683]

I think you are an over dramatic drama queen. Am I right? Let me ask your father...

[@ForgedEggs]

I think they're trying to tell you you're a nervous Nelly and to knock it off.

[@1993Revhead]

Adam has a surprising amount of skills, not just blowing up cement trucks. haha

[@Dr.Stein99]

I heard a myth that someone can build a quad-copter out of a cement truck, filled with cement. I wonder if Adam can prove that.

[@sgtpepper1138]

That's what happens when you worked in practical effects and toy design, you can look at something and instantly know either how it works, or how to make it better.

[@gavinsmith6108]

Seeing all of the different components and bits fit so perfectly in to the GCP case was so satisfying for my OCD.

[@AfromanSkeeter]

3:33 that little happy face getting air for two seconds is too cute.

[@jonbbaca5580]

I don't get how Adam says that he's not interested in drones in and of themselves...especially for a guy so into Sci fi and movie magic. Flying a racing quad with fpv is the closest thing any human can get to piloting an X-Wing through the Death Star trenches. The design and engineering that goes into multirotors "in and of themselves" is incredible! All the practical stuff they can do is just delicious gravy on top

[@nimben80]

I believe a lot of people or techs get caught up in the novelty when first getting into this hobby I've been in this hobby for 25yrs. I also do video production and been doing this for 26 yrs and I think he's done a great job no worries . I think genuine people don't worry about what other people think or selling out because people that worry about selling out are just trying to look cool in front of people and keep on trying to set some kind of trend that's been happening way before this computer was even invented that we are all typing on.LOL Be realistic and genuinely open minded its a good thing.If you make a video you make a video It doesn't always mean its for the company product you're reviewing DJI was a small company at one time or other also.And just because you do a television show does not always mean you're rich.Trust me LOL Remember everyones always gotta start somewhere. Great show love it guys.

[@adrienperie6119]

*The DJI Inspire is to quadcopter drones what alienware is to high end PC's.* Its what people who know nothing about technology buy because they assume it is the best because its so expensive and because they don't want to put the effort into learning how things really work. Just like alienware, its two to three times as expensive as it should be, and you could get much, much higher quality and performance for the same amount of money. I'm really disappointed that Adam didn't build his own design, there are tens of very high end kits out there that would allow modification, personalization, and actually knowing what you're putting into the air, or at the very least that he wouldn't buy the absolute worst cash grab mindless stuff you can get your hands on. The title is misleading as well, this is as stock as you can get.

[@Paulivewire]

So true, do you see these people actually falling for this.... even flighttest wtf.

[@tianxia4092]

[@rafaelcarvalho-photovideo9745]

[@lancerooke]

I admire Adam's skill and ingenuity. Brilliant guy.

[@evilgunz7078]

My phantom 3 Advanced keeps a flight log in the DJI flight app which I love. It allows me to view exactly what my flight pattern was, altitude, stick maneuvers, and when I press the camera button.It uses goggle maps and just shows a triangle and follows a white line of the path I flew and shows all the data. I also got the soft back pack made by DJI which allows me to hike and it is just like using a regular hiking pack and holds everything and all my accessories and is very comfortable. If I could afford a Inspire I would get one. Being able to see the world from a different view point is amazing. Even if I am not taking pictures or video its just fun to watch the screen and know I am seeing stuff I have never see before.

[@Karlemilstorm]

If you put magnets on the feet you are gonna screw up your compas

[@ArthurDent0042]

gagomand But magnets in the table top would work fine -- outside of potentially screwing up the pre-flight calibration. That said, I suspect the calibration process could compensate for magnets if they were on the aircraft. After all, modern aircraft are loaded with all manner of electrical devices that generate their own EM fields -- and these have no impact on the proper operation of on-board compasses.

[@TesserLink]

its really no different than the magnetic field in the motors. plus its far away from the senors in the center. i really don't thing it would mess with the quad at all.

[@Karlemilstorm]

If you put magnets on the landing gear strong enough to help you land they will interfear with the compass.

[@mattyc1382]

Not too mention if you fly too close to a ferrous surface the drone might stick mid flight. Best to put the magnets on the board and a ferrous material on the feet....OR programme the GPS/camera to lock onto the red target and autopilot land automatically.

[@ArthurDent0042]

gagomand Interesting academic discussion, but I think Adam was being a bit facetious about magnets to aid landing on the little platform. Makes little sense to invite potential calamity by trying to land on a small raised platform when you can just as easily land on a wide open space just a few feet in front of that. In my full-scale flying days, my first flight instructor offered this bit of wisdom: "An exceptional pilot is one who uses exceptional judgement to avoid situations that require the use of exceptional skills." I think this is one of those cases. That said, if you want to avoid magnets, use velcro! ;)

[@unrealaddiction6085]

you can fit about 12 Mavics in that big ass case.

[@diskross]

The amount of detail and thoughts that he puts into the smallest things is is outstanding, amazing and oddly satisfying!

[@Colhogan06]

Adam Savage is really one extremely intelligent man. He seems so full of life and genuinely happy to be doing what it is he is doing at the time. We should all be so lucky that we can enjoy our day to day lives as much as he seems to. Granted he has the means to enjoy himself but I would say he's definitely earned it! I was sorry to hear Mythbusters was ending. I watch that show all the time. Mainly because of Adam. Jaime was OK but Adam as I had mentioned before was always so animated and excited about the things they were doing.

Damn I found your in the comments of a 5 year old video in 2020 KZbin does give me some wired recommendations now and days

[@Babalooza]

Not that I'm commenting to receive one of those preflight checklist, in fact I wouldn't have a use for them, but Im just curious how much wear that pool table receives. I mean it seems pristine, but I've seen enough videos of that table supporting boxes and other potentially damaging things. So how often is it re-felted? How often is it even used as a pool table anyways?

[@skittyzed]

I've always thought that, they are always putting things together and moving stuff about on the pool table, not to mention it's right next to the shop. But it always looks brand new.

[@BAMFWrangler]

lol thought the same when slid that gang charger across the table

[@craigsundberg1443]

Babalooza Depends on the Use. I worked in a pool hall and about once a year to two years we would re felt, however we held quit a bit of tournaments so we needed good felt. Many bars simply keep felt on until it is worn completely thru, so years. I suspected if you were to felt a table like this for UAV use, it would last a lifetime.

I think he meant that it is solid enough that it could last five years, shabby and last only one

[@hanvyj2]

Tom Miller does a new version coming out make the old version break or something? The device is designed to last 5 years. Physically. They could invent a fusion powered sci-fi hovercopter tommorrow, doesn't affect how long that device is going to last...

[@Bob_Burton]

ANameThatIsn'tMyOwn a new version does not make the old version break or work any worse but people will keep wanting the new ones. Adam, along with many more will want the latest and greatest and the early versions will be retired.

[@TommyT_]

Tom Miller You're an idiot.

[@ShreddinSleds]

Those magnets might mess with the compass, if you plan to put those on to assist landing on that table

[@thomasbland6428]

John Kuchera How about something a bit more old school? I'm thinking he could attach a bit of ferrous metal to the 4 feet then attach 4 electromagnets under the table. These could be energized remotely when he's ready to touch down. If you wanted to go more high tech, add a pin hole camera to the center then overlay the signal with a frame outline for a landing assist camera.

[@customfabrications]

If everybody flew like this, then the FAA would not have to enforce the existing laws and write new laws for model aircraft flying. Most people don't realize that there were FARs in place for model aircraft for many years, but it was never an issue. Then the drones became readily available, and easy to fly, so every idiot and there mothers dog bought one and started causing massive issues so the FAA had to take action and make things difficult for the rest of us. so, thanks Adam for being a good example, unfortunately, the idiots who caused all the problems in the first place don't care, and will continue being idiots. And the FAA will write more and more rules and regulations for the rest of us to follow.

I'm a newbie! This was amazing. I can't tell you how much I appreciate detail you provide. It just saves someone like me to get up to speed and to the point where you can enjoy the devise and use it as a tool vs. refining the tool

[@nickd1961]

Its official, Adam has OCD

[@Earthneedsado-over177]

OCD = Operation of Cool Devices!

[@donniemarks94]

2 or 3 times a week? I would fly that 2 times a day if I had one

[@iaincowell9747]

I doubt he has the time to use it that much.

[@jordangalan1946]

Adam you are a pure genius, this is why we love you.

[@PaRCQuadRacers]

The Inspire quad is a outstanding camera platform and a joy to own and fly. Great info guys, and keep up the great demos. See you all in the air.

[@michaelgallagher2376]

Wouldn't the magnets mess with the drones compass?

[@ian1064]

target called they want there logo back ;)

[@scubaaaa]

[@WalkingDrivingFlyingLasVegas]

Excellent! I really appreciate Adam's creativity and thoughtfulness.

[@SeanPatrickBurgess]

Use the Force, Adam... That eyepiece rig is epic.

[@rcbif101]

Boring. Would have expected him to make his own - Not buy Ready to fly junk...

[@jamesdoe5824]

Junk? Lol

[@CyberPilot360]

Kaipo Fitisemanu yes :)

[@jamesdoe5824]

He's made plenty of better machines in his day. But the inspire is awesome and not junk

[@Bobany]

Kaipo Fitisemanu it's still junk noob.

[@CyberPilot360]

No it's overpriced and for someone that knows it is

[@StopaskingformynameYouTube]

What the hell? So this guy loves building things, he loves making special effects and robotics right? Then why does he buy an overpriced prebuilt drone?

[@drstrange2292]

StopaskingformynameKZbin overpriced isn't even close to how pathetic this thing costs. my 250's could to anything and everything this can do and more. I could strap a bad ass camera on my quad. no issues

[@elderscrollsaddict1142]

Keep dreaming. The Inspire drone is A LOT better then any cheap drone you can get. Drones do not actually get decent until 400+ dollars, idiot. You know nothing about drones obviously. You do not see professionals using crappy drones such as yours that do not lost more then a few months. And your drone could not eve LIFT the camera on a Inspire. The Inspire is definitely worth the cash.

[@StopaskingformynameYouTube]

Are you talking to me ElderScrolls Addict? If so you are wildly mistaken. I build drones and i have been doing for several years. Yes, drones that lift shit costs more, but not effin DJI inspire2 prices. You can build something similar or better for 25% of the price.

[@elderscrollsaddict1142]

StopaskingformynameKZbin Not better, but maybe similar.

[@elderscrollsaddict1142]

StopaskingformynameKZbin And I thought you had meant that you BUY cheap drones. Those 200 dollar drones vs a inspire is no contest.

[@brazil004]

Adam needs to do more with his life. He is beyond tinkerer or TV personality, he needs to be astronaut or something.

[@cjc1103]

You can get a "flight mode" case, lets you store and transport the Inspire 1 in flight mode, with the X3/X5 camera attached. All you have to do is take it out of the case and attach the propellers. Easy. The "target" board Adam made is only good for takeoff, too small for a landing platform. Just land it on the ground, you can find an orange foldable landing pad for drones, works great. You can also get a aftermarket charger capable of simultaneously charging the controller and three TB47/TB48 batteries.

[@ebutuoy8272]

Who left the toilet seat up?

[@JackRR15]

It's fun when you have money huh

[@MM-zw8sm]

TheMidnightNarwhal fun isn't always with money.

[@MyKurt88]

TheMidnightNarwhal says the guy with the BMW (M)money series picture...

[@icecl0ud]

Yes.

[@BiddieBoi]

Adam Savage is a living genius! He is so smart and full of knowledge. Thank you

[@wernerpijlman]

Adam does what he loves, he is building and inventing, i must say i like enjoy watching him, his collection is awesome ! Adam, i dont know if you read this but the world will be a bit boring without you so please keep on doing with what you do :-/)

[@jonolid]

got ridiculous in the end. over engineer

[@thefederationofavrram]

Adam's hat gives me flashbacks to Mythbusters

[@diaperwhip]

I loved this video! So cool to see Adam after mythbusters and his hobbies. I will starting a log of how/when/where I flied my drone! So awesome to watch.

[@TabletopMachineShop]

There's a book called "The Checklist Manifesto" that's quite good. It basically shows how powerful checklists can be for high-risk operations -- It's neat that Adam uses one for drone flying.

[@darthgzuz]

this is perhaps the best DJI video i have seen so far awesome Adam!

[@RobinBaggett]

That gang charger is just...beautiful!

[@kena2947]

If I had Adam Savage's shop, I would rule the universe

[@jp1310]

Adam you could 1. add a wireless charging plate onto your charging station and charging coil to the remote that can be left plugged in, then you just drop it in like the battery’s. Can be bought of eBay very cheaply. 2. Add the table legs to the pelican case somehow, maybe have the pelican case lid open 180deg and drop in a flat sheet over the foam on the lid and that can become the table. Save you lugging the wooden table with you. That sheet could easily be attached to the outside of the pelican case as could the legs for transport. I love watching your videos your a very inspiring guy.
