Best Drone For Cinematic Footage? | Regular Drone VS FPV Drone

[@PeterLindgren1]

What team are you on, FPV or regular drones!?

[@187Killerbee]

Both, real pros use the best of both worlds 😉

[@uohappiness]

Regular for now haha I will crash fpv until I get one and try for myself ^^

[@kevinglenister6520]

FPV makes you feel like you are in the drone, you can go fast and not get hurt:) I found tradition drones kinda boring but they do have their place in film making. Great video thanks.

[@dji1tommy29]

They both have their own distinct use but I’m a fan of gps drones

[@YanniVelez]

You both have amazing shots... But I'm not gonna lie... the FPV version.... it just feels like if I was able to fly like Superman... I would fly high and low everywhere I could.. just like an FPV. GREAT VIDEO Peter!

[@tom1986ca]

The Mavic gives me National Geographic documentary vibes while the FPV gives me Marvel movie vibes. Both awesome for very different reasons.

[@AV-RC]

This!!! And it’s all about the tools in your tool box and how you use them

[@GEXAR]

It's true about FPV drones, you need a lot of money if you want to be at a high level and race. I was doing FPV drones when they just started to appear, there weren’t even simulators on computers yet. For 1.5 years I spent about 1600-4000 bucks on spare parts for the drone.But to be honest, I flew almost every day.

[@nicklegrey987]

I love the struggle you og guys put in

[@axivenn]

regular drones are more expensive than fpv drones. FPV drones can be purchased separately. the more expensive stuff fpv drone. more good. when compared to $ 1000 FPV drone will be comparable to $ 8000 regular drone.

[@jhimbow2237]

Is it true you need a visual observer for fpv flights anywhere you might want to operate?

[@GEXAR]

@@jhimbow2237 Each country has its own rules. In mine, this is a recommendation and not a law.

[@piusgyagenda]

I think they all have their beauty, with the regular drone you get those cinematic smooth shots and with the Fpv you get those fast epic shots. In terms of storytelling, I believe they all have those moments when they are used. Thank you guys it's a great video.

[@raistraw8629]

first of all that are not regular drones, that are consumer drones and fyi a fpv drone can do the same shots as a consumer can do. Nothing holds a fvp pilot back from flying slow or high , besides the skill of the pilot. ;)

[@RaniRani-zt2tr]

Well I don’t really know the thing is that you cannot do things these normal drones do with fpv AND NO IT IS NOT ABOUT THE PRICE BECAUSE THE (CONSUMER DRONE) CAN COST OVER $5000 AND IT IS AN “INDUSTRY LEADING PHOTOGRAPHY TOOL” that is what DJI calls it AND IN EVENTS LIKE WEDDING AND OTHER ON STAGE ONES, YOU REALLY CANNOT FLY FPV DRONES. OH AND I REALLY LOVE THE GOPRO 11 BUT NOTHING COMPARES TO THE AWESOME GIMBAL CAMERAS THAT DJI MAKES AND JUST THE OVERALL PACKAGE LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM IS OCUSYNC 4.0 WHICH CAN REACH A WAPPING 20 KILOMETERS AND MUCH MORE THAT THEY ARE JUST NOT POSSIBLE WITH AN FPV DRONE THAT YOU WOULD BUILD. There are still some kinds of footage that you really need an fpv drone for it but that would come at the cost of skills and not really the tools

[@RaniRani-zt2tr]

Oh the price that I mentioned is only about the small series so yeah because the inspire 3 costs between $20000 and $40000 so I respect your skill but fpv cannot really take over these photography cinematic tools

[@RaniRani-zt2tr]

Oh wait did we forget all about flight time

[@andreachiuppi]

@@raistraw8629 Actually no. An FPV drone has no control over the movement of the cam that records the clip to be processed. True, there are control systems, but they are not at all easy. Of course with a fpv you can go very slow, I let my little ones go around the house slowly without problems. But never bring one type of drone, with its movements created on purpose, closer to another drone that has been created on purpose. We must always respect the two worlds, and share them. Then if someone only owns an FPV drone, they make do with what they have.

[@rolandharrison579]

After seeing this,I believe FPV gives you that 'superman' flying freedom that regular drones just don't. Way harder to learn but much more exhilarating result during the flight and the footage obtained. As a newbie to drones, I know baby steps are the right way to learn FPV, so I just need to start walking. Thanks - great video.

[@SpaghettiFPV-tg3qh]

Walk Then run baby

[@mannythehunter]

Both! FPV - Create those crazy dive shots!! You can’t create that with a regular drone - Proximity flying. It’s not easier (than regular drone) but you do gain more confidence with FPV - Have a really hard leaning curve. I have spent 6 months with one now and I still don’t feel confident on certain dives. Regular drones - Fire and forget. You can set it to pan or follow you and not worry about it - Easy to Learn Each drone has their plus and minus. I had to developed a cheat sheet for shots so I don’t forget the possible shots I can take at a location. Sometimes you get focused on that particular dive and forget there are many other shots you can take. For example you can pan away with FPV (from really close object) and create an awesome better shot than with a regular drone.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Great summary!

[@6torthor]

They're really for capturing different scenarios. I would personally want to bring both an FPV and the Mavic to create the best experience, especially like the Mavic to build suspense and the one-take FPV footage for the action at the chorus or something

[@Infamousfpv1]

I started flying fpv. Never owned a dji drone. I can tell you that the soldering and tinkering was both painful and equally rewarding. Getting something you created in the air is an amazing feeling. Especially when its tuned. However I definitely can see the appeal for an out of the box plug n play. I flew my friends mavic and it was both easy and rewarding in its own way. Nothing can beat feeling like an eagle though. Like nothing. 🦅

[@TerryWarfield]

You cheated!! Lol. Man GREAT video and thanks so much for inviting me and your hospitality bro. Keep inspiring!

[@PeterLindgren1]

Hahaha, gotta make that FPV look epic 😂

[@mattalford3932]

If you fly camera drones and want to get into FPV, buy the avata pro view combo and fpv controller 2. It costs 29 dollars to replace a broken Avata with care refresh. Then, you can buy true FPV drones with the 03 air unit. The avata can act like a camera drone. Has plenty of camera features. doesn't need a gopro if you aren't a professional doing client work. The fpv controller 2 can be used with the 03 air unit to control any fov drone.

[@Matanumi]

Avata full kit is 1500 dollars and ? Airframe has flaws.... But it probably is the very best start and forward compatible with a sick O3 system

[@TausifHussain]

Solid video man. You and Terry power combo. Love to see friends connecting.

[@MarioSoMedia]

Great to see you and Terry hanging out! Your fpv skills have improved soo much! Love the fpv look but agree that the regular drones give you more versatile uses.

[@William_NS]

Betaflight 4.4 GPS rescue may not be as smooth as DJI RTH but my home built FPV quads ALWAYS land closer to takeoff point than my DJI drones do. It's pretty incredible, actually.

[@nickbeedroning]

This video was so much fun to watch. Seeing you two play off each other and trying to outdo each other with epic shots at different perspectives

[@jstewart627]

The slower it goes the cleaner the shot. You can speed things up where needed later with the editor. The more help you can get the better and the goggles and motion control for DJI might make it super easy to do those tricky circle shots.

[@KaitouKaiju]

Ugh fake sped up footage isn't nearly as good as something filmed at real speed

[@RhettandClaire]

It's about sending it down the ladder❤Love both of you guys, keep on crushing it!

[@MrStewmaestro]

I wonder if they can send the ladder over to my little channel aswell...lol.....but seriously though.

[@C4Ti0]

To combine both, at first a nice slow overview, then the fpv action, is the best of this video!❤

[@assasin101011]

At first, I thought piloting FPV drones was easy, but after trying it myself, I realize just how challenging it is to achieve the shots in this video. I now have a deeper appreciation for the skill and precision of the pilot.

[@xCrazyTwix]

You could have used some epic music for the mavic footage too, not only for the fpv. Kind of makes the fpv look better than it should.

Love your FPV videos and totally agree with he ups and downs of the different drone types. I love my FPV drones, but Mavic clips are just classy, clean and very vlog friendly. Comparing FPV to Mavics feel like comparing a hammer to a saw to me.

[@kylec3dfpv]

I think a 7inch fpv, running inav with a new m10 gps module is pretty dang good now with return-to-home. Plus 7inch you gain double the flight time or more plus it's just a more stable setup with larger props.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Yeah, I brought the 7” but it’s a little bit too big imo. The 5” is so responsive!

[@kylec3dfpv]

@PeterLindgren1 A 6inch is also nice in between, especially carrying a gopro. But I agree that 7inch can be cumbersome when traveling.

[@xliver4]

From a pure "flying enjoyment" perspective, regular drones can't come close to the enjoyment that I get out of FPV. I can go through 10+ packs and not be bored. That said, I love how easy it is to get up in the air with my Mavic 3 and how worry free it is once I'm flying. It's perfect for getting those cinematic establishing shots, whereas FPV is perfect for the action. The Mavic is like driving around in a luxury sedan, and FPV is like tearing up a track in an open wheeler. They're both great for totally different things, and they both have a spot in my fleet.

[@CoconutJustice]

Good to see this collab! Thank you both!

[@piecesandbytes]

Two of the best in the same video. Så jädra mäktigt 👊🏻🔥

[@trumblez]

Im really happy I started fpv at such a young age (was about 3 years ago, im still pretty young) so I think I will be one of the best pilots one day, but my FCs always break after like a month so I can only fly for about 2 months before having to wait about 2-6 months to get enough money to get a new one. Thats super annoying.

[@DavidCheok]

I think the biggest difference is the adrenaline. There is no way a gps drone can produce the kind of emotional rush the fpv can but there is no way an fpv can highlight a subject from different perspectives a gps drone can. I recently bought the Avata after a decade of wanting a drone but refrained from doing so simply because the gps drone felt like more work for me and I wanted to enjoy the immersion of flying. Really enjoyed this video Peter. Really highlights the differences.

[@chievquack7568]

I absolutely love the adrenaline rush from fpv, but I also think when making a movie, you need both shots. One calm and super stable, and one full of action and thrill. Adapted for a scene specific needs

[@Raven.Skyview]

Beautiful video. As a new business, starting from scratch with drone work (not sure what specifically, that's how new we are)... We're getting both drone styles. The beauty of DJI, crosses both worlds, just enough. With a Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 3E, an Avata, a Lumenier QAV-PRO/Cine... The possibilities are endless.

[@RajinderYadav]

what is the flight time on a battery and can you share the capacity of the battery you're using for the FPV

[@PeterLindgren1]

It’s like 8-10 minutes

[@SpaghettiFPV-tg3qh]

Nothing beats the "feel" of flying fpv Its just next level you are in the cockpit its insane

[@andreachiuppi]

As a professional drone user (Drone Service Italia) I prefer both worlds, not just this or that. And you need to know how to choose with visual accuracy which drone is best. The fpv shots are absolutely dynamic, even using a cinewhoop, but there are times when you use an FPV and others a stabilized DJI, for example, and others where you use cinelifters to have extreme quality, given that you load important loads on this cam and heavy. FPV in very open environments doesn't work, if you go down in altitude, and flying over that narrow river, honestly beautiful yes, but I would prefer to use FPV exclusively on the waterfall, while I'm going towards the waterfall itself and I throw myself over it descent, or while climbing the waterfall. Filming of the river from above only and exclusively with a stabilized DJI. I always really appreciate that beautiful slow movement that makes you observe everything. While an FPV even at low altitude if you had to pass it through a rock gorge. But these are just examples that come to mind. The extremely dynamic flight on the plate never pays off. Unless you get to a place where fpv is needed. I know in Thailand on a long beach, and then getting the FPV into a nice big house. Obviously these are just personal comments. And I agree regardless of whether a person thinks differently.

[@loxinflytfpv4748]

Old man New to FPV, Really enjoyed the comparison, I do see that all the shots are absolutely great, it is a matter of perspective, as the speed element and altitude make the FPV drone superior over all, good teamwork there too.

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

Epic footage from both of you!

[@donegalrediscovered3309]

Best purchase you can buy for starting FPV is a simulator compatible controller.. As can practice & crash as often you like .. Also get a analogue system.. & a GoPro later if you like .. Analogue system is cheap.. also sit down when beginning to learn as some people can suffer motion sickness 😀👍☘️.. Great footage from you both

[@halllwd94]

Entering into the money pit that is drones. This made the decision easy. This is the only thing I couldn't decide. FPV it is. To learn and get into it. Then I'll get a DJI for making money that's not cinematic. I'm getting me a $500 starter fpv set up. Then I'll get a used phantom professional or 2S Air.

[@gillespons4053]

No one mentions that you can upload a lot of different flight controller software to achieve different goals on an fpv quad, if you use betaflight it's more about racing but then if you have a GPS with magnetometer on your fpv you can achieve the same stability with INAV instead of betaflight as a Mavic and have full auto landing and return to home stuff, and you can add sensors and stuff if you know some about soldering and sensors, anyway cool video

[@PeterLindgren1]

That’s the thing though, most people don’t want to learn the soldering, programming and other stuff 🤷🏻

[@geraldfields3610]

Both have there own form of story telling for sure. Right tool for which job you are on.

[@zhendongfu6871]

Master piece HOT AS HELL FPV WATERFALLS SHOT! Appreciate that man

[@cannibalraptor]

Coming from a cinematic aspect, both styles have merits, depending on how you want to tell a story. The FVP is great for the fast dynamic sweeping movement, while DJI for those horizontal stabilised shots. Though I’m not a fan of always flying so low with the FPV, I think it would be better flying a few meters higher while still keeping the speed

[@MrClydie_Po_Po]

Both work, hand in glove with one another, for the perfect video. Period!

[@MaddyandSascha]

Great that you put Terry on the Channel! Have been enjoying his content as well :)

[@LuftdroneDk]

Different tools for different scenarios :) I just upgraded from Air 2s to M3 Pro and shot my first video on Saturday with it (on my channel now 😜). However I could have used your fpv skills on that project in order to make it even more actionfilled, so maybe I need to invite you over to Denmark next year for the Sportscar Event at Jyllandsringen ;)

Amazing starter drone for FPV 👊🏼

[@MichaelSink]

I'm on the fence, as an Air2s pilot the first FPV stuff I saw was HEAVY on aerobatics and was honestly a turnoff. Seeing more cinematic FPV made me buy an Avata 2 recently, the ease with which the notion controller works is amazing and after more time in the sim I'll be able to add a little more "zing" with a cinematic flair. I'm already getting ideas for incorporating the two at the same location to get a one-two punch!

[@tetefpv]

Good video flying!! Amazing spot

[@maddogtank8425]

the difference between these two drones is that fpv drones especially when used in this context capture more of the feeling of nature it's almost like you're a gust of wind just blowing along the scenery and normal drones are capturing the scenery as a hole so you're not a part of the scenery but you're seeing all of it you're getting the grandiose nature of in this case Iceland itself it gives you a feeling for the area without having to be there now if you use just one of these methods you will get fantastic results but if you use both and change them together you can string some of the most visually pleasing cinematics that human technology has given us the privilege to make

[@overfly_pt]

The images are absolutely incredible from both drones I already had Mavics but now I don't change it for anything FPV drones give more adrenaline

What transmitter and goggles do you use? I don't know and i'm really into FPV. I dont have a drone and i really want one.

[@arkhamkillzone]

You can actually do this with a mavic 3 pro and then just speed up the playback in editor. Not sure what the result will be compared to fpv. Also I'm sure the gymbal on mavic had a fpv mode.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Nope, not looking the same at all unfortunately. Speeding up the footage will just enhance the stick moves on the Mavic, and it’ll look bad.

[@VendettaProduction01]

Do those signal extenders actually work well with the goggle 2 from dji?

[@dji1tommy29]

Also FPV drones are more about appreciating the movements as opposed to appreciating the scenery. Yes you can still show off the scenery with FPV but they’re so fast you don’t really get much time to soak it in.

[@Idabro]

Can definitely slow down if needed. And shoot Mavic style. But that’s not fun lol

[@dronefeverpty9594]

[@mylhainen]

Peter, how was the penetration and reception quality of the video feed flying in those canyons? I feel like the signal quality of any FPV drone, O3 included, starts to detoriate quite quickly even if it is just behind trees, out of sight. I would imagine being behind huge rocks would be very, very demanding for the video signal?

[@PeterLindgren1]

Flying down a canyon means the signal bounces between the rocks. As soon as you fly behind something though, you’ll loose the signal.

Well, I have them all^^ Fpv is more a DIY hobby and the focus is flying. I compare it with skateboarding, locate a nice spot and try to improve and limit test every time. RTF drones are more like a minivan with a great camera. FPV is cheaper for sure! If you buy high end components you pay high end prices! 5 inch 6s with a dji 03 ($600) 1500mah 6s battery ($70) Remote of your choice, I use the TBS Tango2 ($250) Dual Charger ISDT mark2 ($120) DJI goggles v2 ($800) In a crash 75% of the time you take of with turtle mode 3 sec later and everything is fine. If something brakes you fix it on the spot, noone could fix it better than you! replace a motor or a arm in 20 min for $20 Crash a RTF and you have to send it in and you wont fly for a while.
