(It falls every time on them :/ 360 Insta R.... I don't like the look like the one of the GoPro. In my opinion, your videos look better with GoPro. But it is also a really nice camera

[@tomstrojnik]

Thanks man! Buy a landing pad or something similar soft.. what drone do you fly? :) regarding Insta, it's only color correct but not graded with look.. because I wanted to show what kind of colors you get straight out of camera :) But the GoPro footage has been color corrected AND color graded, that's why it looks better :) Will do a comparison video in the following weeks!

[@MrSeinfeldFan2]

Hello, you seem like the right person to ask this question from. I have Never flown a drone of any kind!.. and here I am watchin FPV videos! Like many I guess, I have also been inspired by those glorious shots of oceans and mountains and things that could never be gotten in any other way than with a drone for this purpose, etc, etc. The Question: to improve technique... steadiness... agility and everything else, what Software Simulators do you recommend? Perhaps a video just on this subject?... I have not found that much so far, which surprises me. TIA

[@tomstrojnik]

Liftoff is my favourite one. Here's the playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLfWQBJehRTHpT9UsbppgsRsxClFCkxvEa

What simulator(s) do you prefer/recommend the most? Great and very informative video btw.

[@Svetozar8]

Great Video Tom as always :). I was wondering what you think about tango 2 controller? I am currently using DJI Controller with DJI FPV Goggles but this Tango 2 looks tempting. Did you maybe use DJI Controller and how it compares to Tango 2 ?? Thanks !

[@tomstrojnik]

Thanks man! I fly with both yes and to be honest I prefer Tango because od the smaller size - so huge transportability advantage. In terms of performance and reach, I think they are pretty similar. I used both to fly around 2km away and had no issues. If you get Tango 2 - make sure your drone has Crossfire receiver.. and if you get DJI - make sure it has DJI receiver ofc :)

[@tomstrojnik]

P.S. There have been rumors about DJI releasing a new FPV drone and controller.. but you never know with DJI, until they release the product :)

[@Svetozar8]

@@tomstrojnik Thanks a lot man for the answer and this hint. I much appreciate it. :) I will definitely wait a little bit to see what will happend.

[@tomstrojnik]

Thanks for watching my content, really appreciate it! If your compturer can take it go with Liftoff, otherwise Velocidrone. These are the two I used

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

no matter how you do it. The rule of thirds always is the core. Like you explain at 3:50

[@cam_fpv8168]

Great video Tom. I noticed you're a pincher with the controller, how are you finding this along with the tango 2? Question 2: Have you compared crossfire link quality to dji link quality with the transmitted? I can't find any good video's comparing this, but would like to switch to tango 2 with crossfire if the transmitter signal is much better.

[@tomstrojnik]

Hey man, thanks! I used to fly with Taranis qx7 which has longer gimbals, so it took me a few days to get used to flying with Tango.. but now I love it! And regarding the DJI controller, it has a great range. The max I tested it was flying around 2km away... I flew with both, Tango and DJI controller in different big bandos as well, flew behind buildings etc.. and never had problems. I prefer Tango because of it's transportabilty advantage and foldable gimbals :)

[@cam_fpv8168]

@@tomstrojnik Thanks man, ok I guess I won't be swapping purely for the crossfire receiver then :)

@@cam_fpv8168 depends on how far you want to fly. If your plan is to do long range and fly on top of the mountains etc.. get Tango and upgrade it to 500mw :)

1st tip : low cam angle helps alot as you sure know ;)

[@tomstrojnik]

100% ! As you get better, you need to practice landing with a higher camera angle as well :)

[@WiktorFPV-]

Hey, you should make a guide for us FPV cinematic people who are seeking the best production quality. You are able to push out so much quality with your hero 8 from recording to editing to upload, i am curious as to how you go about this. :)

[@tomstrojnik]

Good idea, will put it down on my KZbin video ideas list. A few quick tips I would give you are: - Record in a flat picture style in 4K - Nail exposure everytime! - Use ND filters or a polarizer - Learn color grading (this makes the biggest difference) - Plan your shots, before you take off.. have an idea in your head about what kind of shots you want to get :)

[@edgargloor2140]

hello did you try to sit in a moving car and film the moving car or a bike that drives in the front ?

[@tomstrojnik]

Not for this video :)

[@buundy]

Good video, and thanks for the tips. However I want to notice a thing, and correct me if I am wrong. I am am correct you shot your video in 30 fps but exported it 24fps. It is noticeable from the wobbling of the image (every 5th frame is dropped). Am I right? If I have to export in 24fps I usually blend frames because the frame dropping technique is easily noticable and doesn't look good. Once you see it you cannot unsee it :)

[@tomstrojnik]

Yes this is a rookie mistake from me. I'm super busy with doing video production for my clients so I was rushing this edit, because I still want to upload consitently on KZbin :) Everything was filmed in 25 or 50fps, but Insta 360 footage was recorded in 30fps.. and this video was exported in 25 fps.. can believe I didn't notice this. Good eye bro! :D

[@YanniAcott]

Can you confirm, if I get the same drone with the DJI system, it works with the tbs tango 2 controller?
