Adam Savage's Custom Quadcopter Gear

[@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.

[@Anurism666]

[@matthewonnen4030]

Adam!

[@Femmpaws]

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!

[@ScottCalkins]

Adam Savage For your nd filter, check out a photography store for a filter holder. There are a multitude of types and sizes.

[@CaallMeeMrrD]

[@rabidbeagle7347]

[@SinkyYT]

I can imagine going to visit Adam for an hour and after what feels like an hour realise you've been there for a whole day with him showing you different stuff.

[@Reallytallsocks]

Adam seems like he would be the coolest guy to hang around with.

[@M3iscool]

None of us are worthy.

[@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

[@Reallytallsocks]

@mandelorean6243 So you're telling me that he is like literally every other human and has moments where he is irritable? If I decided I don't like him for that reason then I could never be friends with my actual friends.

[@this_mfr]

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

[@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

[@FlowTfpv]

Mr Savage, may I say this only once! Dude, keep that passion flowing, it's is awesome to see someone think of the small little details that the million dollar think tanks developing the products never though of! keep t rockin!! Thanks

[@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.

[@ZGryphon]

"SAVAGE BATTERY 4" - also an excellent name for a punk band!

[@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!!!

[@SLRHUT]

Adam Savage, one half of the Mythbusters. Who else can you trust to come up with such practical custom gear for the Inspire? Awesome stuff from across the pond!

[@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.

[@beaneriser466]

+HeadShot360IN just about to say that

[@prizedcoffeecup]

+Mikael Murstam Adam is secretly a government humanoid designed to fit in with everyone else as much as possible and is powered by 4 high-displacement loop generators secretly stuffed inside his body. Lawl jk

[@ChristopherFranko]

Adam Savage is my hero.

[@AspergerDad]

My son in a drone addict and he has discovered many of the same things you're discussing ... but you have much more access to design and build your own solutions! LOVE it :-)

[@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..

[@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]

[@CPLBSS88]

MOARRRRR. please. I'd love to see whole series just on drone projects.

[@jonbraid2520]

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

[@AnotherSquirrel]

As an aircraft mechanic, I got a kick out of the fact that you made your own Preflight checklist. We have our own checklists for Preflights, Postflights, Last flight of the week, etc.

[@TheXboxBlaster]

Adam's ideas are truly outside-the-box thinking, and incerdible. Miss the Mythbusters

[@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]

mini arduino has a gyro on it? i want to programm a flightcontroller / autopilot with my arduino. do you think an arduino nano can handle that?

[@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.

[@conniethornton2423]

Craig Sundberg in h t VN what does a fox

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@jackmiller3628]

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

[@aiferapple1246]

I love it when Adam gets passionate and enthusiastic about a subject. It's so inspiring :)

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

That's one helluva setup. Obsessed for sure!

[@unrealaddiction6085]

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

[@prathmeshp7956]

All this preparation doesn't work for people like Casey Neistat. His fans know exactly what I'm talking about. He gives absolutely no craps about weather or people

[@bsgtrekfan88]

indeed...or the "rules" or "guidelines" for drones. Dont get me wrong..I've been a fan of his for over 3 years..and fly my own Phantom..(before) he got his own...I love his stuff..but one of these days its going to bite him in the ass!

[@Eric-ue5mm]

[@ryaneager177]

[@buttsrus]

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

[@annonymat]

I‘d love to have one checklist. But it’s less about it’s use but more about having something made by my all time heroes. You guys made my childhood and still inspire me today! Sign that checklist before sending it!

[@gavinsmith6108]

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

[@nitsan]

I love Adam's mods.

[@Bob_Burton]

5 year device ? I don't think so. A couple of years down the line there will be a replacement with better control, the ability to sense and avoid objects, a better camera and mount and who knows what. It is, after all, called the Inspire 1, so look out for 2, 3, 4 etc

[@TheAnimeFOB]

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.

[@chrisk3128]

Where could I get a UAS pre-flight checklist like that @ 4:50, at? It would help me cover every aspect of my UAS's functions and reliability before every flight. Cheers, keep calm and fly safe!

[@ikonane]

I want this as well!

[@mrmjohnson1980]

Adam, the infinite spinning gears.... He can't be stopped! I love it. If your ever in the Boston area and find yourself in need of an extra set of hands, let me know.

[@diskross]

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

[@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! ;)

[@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]

[@DougFenrich]

Tian Xia get a SMALL 4x to Learn How to Fly. Blade is good. then move up to a 350 size... like the 350 QX3 with camera, and yet again Learn to Fly First.... there will always be a new 4x copter out each year that is better than the last. Learn to fly and the camera will come.

[@rafaelcarvalho-photovideo9745]

+felixthemaster1 the principal point of real quadcopters are not be fun, but yes give a different way to see and show the world to us! But yes, if you mightiest know how to fly it you would like it and have fun with it

[@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.

[@DMAXRYNO]

GPC is a local company to me. I went to their shop one day about 3 or 4 years ago to pick up a gopro case. While there I told them about these new quadcopters and how none of us had cases for them and they should look into making them. They said there were just to many different types and they really weren't interested . Well look at them now -__-

[@devinstuder386]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@3DPrintingPiper]

I would love one of your preflight checklists Adam. I have a DJI Spark but everything you cover is absolutely genius. Take care and have a great weekend.

[@GreybeardsWargaming]

He can't stop smiling, indication of the delight to be had with drones

Who left the toilet seat up?

[@jonolid]

got ridiculous in the end. over engineer

[@domf.5219]

Adam savage is officially my favorite person in the world now .

[@WalkingDrivingFlyingLasVegas]

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

[@brentmayfield9434]

SO many great ideas in 18 mins! Love the charger set up. Flight log books are cool also. As a new Phantom 3 Advanced user, I will have to make something to use to log my flights as well. Great video...Thanks Adam!

[@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.

[@ywie]

I love how Adam did all this and he is a very disciplined pilot

[@darthgzuz]

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

[@matthewpace2528]

9:20 I loved the moment that he realized how awesome putting magnets on the landing gear would be! HAHA I must say that Pre-Flight checklist is a Great idea, I will have to make one for my drone!

[@jordangalan1946]

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

[@JamesNickersonThePhotoShopGuru]

I would love, make that DOUBLE LOVE to know and live next door to Adam, I have never seen anyone with more skills at manufacturing aftermarket goodies and so much knowledge of making useful items to make flying just a bit more comfortable .... BIG thank you to you for doing this awesome interview 👍🏻👍🏻

[@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.

[@aukoyy]

I love this guy! He's like a kid showing off his brand new mother off all Christmas presents :D

[@willwright2227]

He's like a real Doc Brown. Love to see him so excited.

[@RyanSadusky]

Adam, your eye piece totally reminded me of the targeting system on the x-wing from star wars. "Stay on target! Stay on target!" Sorry, I just had to geek out there for a second. thanks

[@jaredsmith88]

The antenna are in the feet. They may be effected by magnets, something you may want to consider testing if you mod the feet. Love tested, thanks for the great vids.

[@RCHeliJet]

Very nice Quad Adam and the Cam-holder at the End Like it.! Greetings from Switzerland Tom

[@TheJevaldez09]

God he's a genius, DJI should hire this guy.

[@benmason997]

Just a thought for how to hold the filter, you can get small plastic boxes lined with foam that are ment for holding camera sd cards that would probably be able to fit the filter.

[@Proto-Sapien]

Only discovered tested was a thing a few weeks ago but I love this show soooo much 😍 I want to live in Adams warehouse, sooo much beautiful organisation 🙌

[@trym1966]

What is not to love about this channel? Great videos from stuff I like to hack/ improve/ disassemble etc. And off course, the inspiring Adam Savage! Subbed! Thanks guys!

[@TF8ase]

I'm so happy I found this channel. I love how sincere he is :D.

[@dbsupaport]

I love the look of that booklet, i need it in my life!!! was it ever posted? please make my FPV life complete

[@ads33111]

I like how you note batteries used. My input is that when you note a used battery you should mark the percentage left or whoever way DJI has to check charge.

[@SandritterProductions]

Awesome gear! One thing I'm adding to my setup is a small chip chart on the flight platform. As you take off, point the camera straight down. This gives you a few frames of calibration under the same lighting conditions. Sadly, my Phantom 4 doesn't benefit much from this, but when I get my Inspire with the X5 Raw (someday...), it'll be a BIG help! Keep up the awesome work, and I look forward to your future drone videos!
