DroneCamps Tries to Take Down Botgrinder's video! JB Responds! - FPV Livestream

[@BOTGRINDER]

I really do appreciate both you and blunty for talking about this with common sense, this would have been a non issue if the fake letter was never sent.

Love you botgrinder, you've been a huge inspiration to me and you're real asf

Blunty went from 0 - 1000 real quick 😂

[@damianomotta1809]

i just saw that, i DID NOT saw that one coming, he is right i think and dayum he would destroy anyone in a rap battle, tho big respect to them being transparent only after being attached

[@ianwalton284]

That guy always scared me.

[@damianomotta1809]

@@ianwalton284 he was silent like 90% of the time in the lives. I think he is more a thinker than a talker but when he talks be sure he got a good point to discuss haha, thats my take at least

[@BadLuckFPV]

Yeah Blunty snapped. He was def triggered and I couldn't be happier he said what he said.

[@mjodr]

@@damianomotta1809 He's introverted and every once in a while can get riled up. I'm kinda the same way. I can be super quiet for months and then go on an insane rant about something that's really bothering me, lol.

not gonna lie, loved hearing blunty go off.

Yup

[@dgraf8076]

Disagree

[@jandoodle6769]

@@dgraf8076I agree with you, bardwell always saying he doesnt want drama or bullying. Now he’s just jumping head first in this stuff says allot about the personality he has behind the screens.

[@JonE5FPV]

Dronecamps has been damaging the industry and taking new people out of the hobby with his “best” recommendations of garbage stuff for years. So glad bardwell, blunty and Bot finally shed some light on this. Year after year we see people show up for help with the stuff they bought from his videos, broken or burnt. Many times we can’t get it fixed for them and wish we could have gotten to them before they saw one of the money grab videos. Thank you for putting the word out.

[@allegorx58]

this comment is way over the top and i’m generally on the same side as you on this lol but this comment is just garbage

[@JonE5FPV]

@@RisenDumbRiderwe have one of the larger racing communities in Houston and have an open invitation for anyone with a drone that needs help to come find us. So we have all sat elbow to elbow giving up our own flight time to pull out our soldering irons and help where we can. Often times these cheap BNF’s were already burnt or damaged. We fix what we can, and often times donate our own spares if we can manage to get someone flying. But many times we can’t and then we never see them again. I don’t blame them. If I got suckered into spending hundreds of dollars only to see it break right away and seek out help and have to hear the hard words from the local experts that you made a bad choice. It would sting. We always can tell what channels they watched by what they showed up with. And many times they would tell us even quoting the words “so and so channel told me it was the best! The best one and you’re telling me it’s junk?!” It’s so disheartening and I’ve always taken a responsibility never to potentially waste someone’s hobby budget for junk.

[@dgraf8076]

What about all those who bought things based on his videos and had a great experience?

[@BlackSkyentertainment]

I did buy some stuff that he recommended that was junk…..

[@BlackSkyentertainment]

Just went and unfollowed him….thank you for what you do for our hobby….and your honesty.

[@rickyhiggins133]

Man, I haven't ever seen Blunty that fired up!!!! But what he said makes very good sense. What DroneCamps did is like middle school drama. That we all should grow up and grow out of. You guys keep up the great work you all do for all of us in the FPV community. Thanks....

[@MrSteeleFPV]

Where do I send my C&D?

[@ChadKapper]

“All you are doing is making people that are ambivalent about you decide that they don’t like you.” The most insightful statement I’ve heard in a long time.

[@Obi_Wanwheel]

I. LOVED. ALL OF THIS!😂 I haven’t flown in like, two years, and THIS dragged me back into the community. LMFAO!

[@joshuas2716]

For me, this was a perfect example of the Streisand Effect. I hadn't watched Botgrinder's video or even heard of Drone Camp's channel until I started hearing about the cease & desist being bounced around from other sources. Even after watching BotGrinder's video, I still had to go back and actively look for the thumbnails in question as I had completely missed the way they were associated with Dronecamp until I looked for them.

[@n0pc0de]

My first thought as well.

[@SLPFPV]

yep!

[@brandon9689]

Joshua Bardwell is an absolute legend with prowess in flying, education in building and operating, product reviews , video editing and now community arbitration. There's nothing this channel hasn't done, its amazing.

[@YorkyPoo_UAV]

From my perspective, Dronecamps doesn't just do affiliate links (I have no problem with that), but it appears he says every drone is the best drone he gets for free and then sells that free drone on his store.

[@RGMGFitness]

Joshua, extremely well worded letter you wrote. Wish more people had the skill set to conduct themselves as professionally as you do. Oh, and loved Blunty’s rant! 🤣🤣🤣

[@DKTek07]

Dang! Blunty has some very controlled fire in him. RESPECT Blunty 👍. You have, IMO, demonstrated some serious qualities in a person that I'd want representing we the people. Don't know what position that is but ya got my vote.

[@Przemo-c]

He did more damage to himself than Botgrinder did . Now the whole community is against him. Not knowing about the Streisand effect while being in the public eye is mind boggling.

[@skycontrolproductions]

I want to Google Streisand effect but my fingers keep typing ....help 😊

[@Vousie]

100%. I didn't even know who "DroneCamps" was, but now having seen what bullying tactics he tried, I'm gonna actively make a point of avoiding his videos if they ever turn up in my recommendeds. I wouldn't even have known that the thumbnails Botgrinder used was his, but now I know that 1) he resorts to bullying tactics, and 2) he's done a bunch of advertising/affiliate links on his channel, which is exactly the type of channels I don't like anyway. In any case, I'm gonna go watch Botgrinder's video now.

[@Goldtech6973]

Maybe, but he attracts more noobs than any 2 channels combined.

[@pgabrieli]

@@Goldtech6973 naaah, bro. he has 200K subs and his videos get only 2-3K views. botgrinder has "only" 45K subs, but any video he makes gets more than 10K views, often getting into the 20-30K and sometimes over 40K. so dronecamps may get subs, but literally NOBODY watches what he puts out. the YT income comes from the views, not the subscriptions. and any affiliate link can potentially bring $$ only if people watch his videos, and they don't. so no, his YT channel is a failure, he should really get another job at this point

[@dgraf8076]

The "whole community" is not against him. Speak for yourself.

[@Poyser1911]

bluntly just interjected like "he posted your entire convo, he said yur victim shaming, and he hates you too" 😂

[@jamesmason7124]

Talk about digging your own grave, I agree with you JB 100 percent this is petty AF

[@Jronesfpv]

i didnt even realize those were drone camps thumbnails but i kept thinking of dronecamps the whole video lol

[@jcjven19]

Same with me. The first channel in my mind.

[@fbandito]

Pretty much. It's not like DC has ever been subtle about it so it's silly for him to get upset. He knows what he's doing, we know what he's doing, everyone knows what he's doing. Or are we all supposed to pretend?

[@abertheham]

🤣🎯

[@shadowofchaosfpv4683]

So one positive thing from this drama, I'm subbing to alot more FPV pilots who are commenting. I like to support the fpv community. Both large and small with subs and comments. Keep the videos coming. Any day you get to fly is a good day.

[@Micko1987]

Good on you Bardwell for bringing this up, Botgrinder is a lengend

[@therealonigiri]

I wasn't expecting this clip to be so good. I loved the conclusion. The times in my life when I have hurt others is when I was in a bad mental place (doesn't mean only with insecurities but also other types of bad thoughts in general). I hope lots of people get to watch this video, not even for the drama, but for the mental health and mindset clues that we can analyse in this whole story :)

[@sockeatinggolden8316]

This stems from DC originally putting Botgrinder's face on a Remote ID video. Bot was pissed and called him out on a live stream. Told him to never use his face again. I'm sure DC was just waiting for Bot to include DC on any video, with this cease and desist in hand.

[@TavoFourSeven]

Yup I remember, and went looking but don't really want to be on his page. He definitely tried implying bot was not as smart as him atleast from out the blue. It's just noncompliance "smart guy".

[@sockeatinggolden8316]

@@TavoFourSeven Bot said he didn't even care about being called dumb. But DO NOT include his face on a rid video.

[@TheLucidor]

I was thinking the same thing. Like dude, you just released a video called "SO EASY EVEN BOTGRINDER CAN DO IT!" Like wtf?

[@erikvf7]

When I started on FPV, 3 years ago, I started following DroneCamps and watching his videos. I didn't take long to realise how useless and misleading his channel was and that was the first FPV/Drone channel I unsubscribed and ignored for good.

[@Voyajer.]

This clip is living rent free in DC's head, he's making community posts calling JB Gandalf and Blunty smelly. Guy's going unhinged

[@ddegn]

His community posts are really weird. The guy doesn't seem right in the head. Bardwell was trying to do him a favor by letting him know how bad it looks but DC calls it "victim blaming". DC has changed his complaint from "defamation" to "stealing art". It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

[@mrnate2468]

much respect to both of you. loved how blunt Blunty was

[@PianoManPaul]

Wow ... I stepped away from FPV for 3 months, realizing today that I haven't taken in a JB stream or vid for quite awhile, and look at the unfortunate mass of dookie news I walked into. What can I say, except I hope we can rinse away all this shit, and remain that tight, supportive, respectful community I was so happy to be involved with. Only thing else I can say right now is, while JB has always been the most informative FPV dude IMHO, there's nothing wrong with BG bringin' a lil dose of Snoop Dogg to the FPV party and make this hobby fun in a whole different way. It was NO fun when, within the space of 10 days last summer, I wrecked and lost over $1750 worth of quadcopters, and I almost quit this pastime swirling in anger and utter defeat (and by the noob stories flooding Reddit as they learn the use-the-flight-sim lesson, I wasn't the only one). But luckily, on the day that I starting making kijiji fpv gear for sale ads, this dude I never heard of called Botgrinder, comes outta nowhere with some GUTBUSTING hilarious fpv content, and suddenly everything's fun again. And @Joshua: 'bullying' is such a SPOT-ON analysis of what I saw in that C&D, but always remember, at the end of the day: bullying is not a show of strength, it never was. Bullies do what bullies do, not because they want to - but because they NEED to. Maybe we should just let them. Seriously, there's no room for that bs in this hobby. Sorry this was so long.... just my 2(000)¢. PEACE.

Drone camps is a con. Years ago he commissioned design work and never paid the person. He also held a logo design contest and never awarded a winner. He uses people like a con would. He needs to go away.

[@ddegn]

Do you remember how long ago this was? I saw from another comment that DC asked one designer for additional artwork. It was really slimy to ask for people to do work for a competition and then not award the prize.

[@ddegn]

I think I found the video. It was four years ago. *DC/RC - MASCOT LOGO DESIGN CONTEST - WIN a DJI Kopis 3" Cinewhoop!* So he never gave the drone to anyone?

[@rmhfpv9225]

@@ddegn the contest I remember was for much more than drone. It was a large cash amount and several products. He never awarded a winner. Before that whole thing he commissioned artwork from a well known female fpv flyer and artist. She never saw any money.

[@SLPFPV]

Bardwell nailed it as usual. That last email was a perfect response imo. I would never have even realized and I 100% believed that those were thumbnails from like 10 different channels. lmao

[@rwfpv1641]

Thank you for being the shield we need Bardwell! You're genuinely the best! Can count on you in every respect of this hobby. Blunty - off the cuff as always, speaking pure truth.

[@skree_fpv436]

I lost all respect for DC when I heard him say in a video years ago that he didn't want to make the manufacturer of the drone he was reviewing mad by saying something negative. I remember he used to put "Honest Review" in his thumbnails and finish the video with "Another honest review". It's been my experience that people who constantly tell you how honest they are, usually are being the least honest.

[@jessehoffman5302]

yep, same goes for smarts.

[@shadow7037932]

100%

[@strongocho]

Im a "right winger" And Proud Boy, so I know BotGrinder would probably hate me, but... he is the GOAT of drone youtubers and the "guerilla whoop" videos are what got me into drones. I love his content so much. As a fellow crust punk type guy who just wants to blast blunts and rip drones in the city, he is more fun to watch than rich influencers trying to sell me crap.

[@Latchfpv]

Man, I'd unsubbed from dronecamps for a while now because his videos rubbed me the wrong way, and did definitely feel shilly, and now here we are, shocker. Fully agreed with ItsBlunty on this one, dude needs to grow up.

[@Nathan_Adams]

As this whole thing blew up, all I could think is that drone camps took Bot's video as a retaliation for him using Botgrinder's name and face in a thumbnail for his Remote ID video, despite Bot's video being released to botgrinder's patreons like a week before the RID video was dropped. Bot has also been talking about this since the release of his video essay on the history of FPV and the blight of "influencers" on his live streams for what feels like years now. From not asking Botgrinder to use his picture in the thumbnail to sell remote id modules to sending the cease and desist letter, Drone Camps is on a pretty self destructive streak. And I know botgrinder used DC's thumbnails in his video, that would be considered fair use of a price of content since he is using them to ilistrate the pervasivness of the issue he feels is damaging the hobby. While his actions are very much in the wrong, I hope DC is okay.

[@mathew-street]

DroneCamps is done by me. I didn't even catch that in the video and his reaction made me hate him and I didn't even care before.

[@martinkorinek5489]

Wow, I was not expecting Blunty to react with so many words.

[@KrazyCase_FPV]

what alot of people dont know is Justin made a whole video about remote ID calling it "so easy Botgrinder can do it" he took the first shot then took the video down. he took the first sucker punch and is now playing victim.

[@msky33]

I admire the way Joshua handled the situation. That was common courtesy on Joshua's behalf to be upfront. Blunty, sent it! Love it

[@TK-fp5fp]

I'm late to the issue but after watching you and Bots videos you've cleared up a bundle of things and your POV is valued. Thanks for making this video.

[@flyingfishy2830]

Blunty with the facts.

[@scottgivens27]

Drone camps has been known to take down comments that are anti what he’s SELLING on his videos. Very immature IMO

[@rc-fannl7364]

Without the C&D letter I would never have noticed Botgrinder making a brief reference to DC. And I suspect this applies to many people who have now become aware of this scrimmage. I agree with JB here, even if there had been real ground to feel offended, which is rather questionable in this case, sending this clumsy looking letter and sticking to it, could only go wrong. It's not worth going this far...

[@kwadzimo]

Yes Blunty! Love when you speak your mind about idiots! 🔥🔥🔥

[@PowerLoop-media]

Bravo 👏. I can't believe DC shared your private conversation with him. He is out of his mind. You threw a lifebuoy and tried helping him get out of this sticky situation and he made it worse than it already was. As Blanty suggested correctly, he should go and find a real job if he can't deal with negative comments or opinions. With 200k subs you must know that the online hate is real and you need to learn how to ignore it, or how to deal with it as educated adult.

[@offroaddreams4x4ed]

I have never been a Fan of Drone Vamp, I mean camps. Josh your channel is the real deal. I have watched so many of your videos to learn. Thank for posting your side and getting the truth out there.

[@sockeatinggolden8316]

I watched it four times. Even looking for it! It wasn't till JB showed it that I finally found it. DC really brought all this on himself.

[@mjodr]

@@sockeatinggolden8316 If you looked at the comments in BG's video a couple days after it was posted there were a lot of shots fired at DC and follow up shots fired by BG himself confirming the audience comments. That's probably what got him fired up. I watched it "late" and the comments seemed to be nonstop shitting on DC and Captain Drone as I scrolled through.

[@user-wt6kg7kp5v]

Well said Josh Ive always respected your leveled headed repones to drama and issues with drones and online stuff.

[@aowi7280]

Dronecamps always seemed like an advertising company. I have no use for them.

[@SoWhatSoFPV]

Drone camps is a joke. He apparently has ~200K subscribers but over the past 3 months his videos range between 1-7K views. Jokes, mostly fake subs most likely. Whoever is sponsoring his channel need to reassess the actual reach his channel has. Some reference. JB has ~300K subscribers and ranges between 11-40K views over the last 3 months. Botgrinder has ~50K subscribers and ranges between 11-40K views as well. Dronecamps is and has been a dying channel.

[@Baatory]

JB -thank You for trying to help both sides and everyone but sticking to what You believe. We need more folk like this

[@devsfan1830]

100% right on all fronts Joshua. Personally, I'm only like a casual fan of drone/fpv still. Something mentioning the legal threat against Botgrinder video graced my Recommended page. I literally had NO idea who Drone Camps was. I watched the video and was stunned this all came from a 2 second array of thunbnails. So NOW i know who Drone Camps is and know to avoid them. He did FAR more damage to himself than Botgrinder could have. He comes off as a massively narcissistic shill. Even with an apology I'm not sure I'd believe it. Definitely not after he then tried to throw you under the bus posting your convo with him completely out of context.

[@vladimircerovic]

I dont know what is this about, but Drone Camps cost me money when I got into FPV. His videos were always like This is the ultimate machine, Killer of this and that. So i wasted money on poor quads and parts.

[@backcountry_pete]

I liked the honesty of this video. The truth is that the goal is just to create entertaining and useful content for your audience.

[@tiwidub8809]

Pilots in Switzerland fully support Botgrinder in all his endeavors to avoid scams and keep it real 😂. Love to Blunty ❤😂😂😂

[@RLeeVisuals]

Pretty clear he either has purchased his subscribers or had success at one point but none of his recent videos are above 1% of views to subscribers ratio.

[@JP-qq2kn]

Yep, you said it. Drone Camps rc is a mistake.

[@robaxelsson530]

Funny thing is, I unsubscribed from DC after EVERY review he did was “the BEST this, and the BEST that..” you could tell it wasn’t genuine. And I’m sure I’m not the only one.. his content got old, it was always the same.. I have a feeling his Revenue has dropped substantially prior to this and he blames others rather than take ownership of his poor decisions

[@mjodr]

I'm subscribed to a ton of drone channels, and I had to go check...I'm not subscribed to DC and I've watched a handful of his videos pushed into my feed. There's a reason why. I got a funny spidey sense almost immediately on a lot of them. Like it's not genuine. Like it's pushing for the wrong reasons and doesn't contain really good info.

[@attackfpv]

I love how drone camps turned off all of his comments too. Won't even allow people to speak their mind.

[@AvgGiraffe]

Hell ya, Blunty! Preach! Also I had to rewatch the segment of Bots video after I heard about the "legal" action and still didn't know he included drone camps. 😂

[@GarethDix]

The irony being... had Justin not responded in any way to the original video it probably wouldn't have affected the drone camps business as much as it has after all of this and that video probably wouldn't have got as much traction as it has... Botgrinder 1 - 0 Drone camps

I'd been away from the hobby for over a year. This turmoil pulled me back in just to see who this DC guy was. Bot's video is one of the best I've seen him post as an influence and not just a "pretty face." Hearing Blunty get heated was awesome and shows just how passionate he is when it comes to the FPV Community.

[@jonathanpatterson2502]

I'm brand new to FPV after some time with DJI cinema drones. I have actually watched Dronecamp's videos before, so glad to be informed of this. On a separate note, I have yet to hear of Botgrinder, so I will have to check him out :)

[@aphinion]

Getting Blunty to rant like this means a lot. Very very entertaining tho :D

[@mooredge]

Lol. You're right on Bardwell. Haven't really watched much FPV youtube content for the last 3-4 months and all of a sudden all this FPV drama pops up so I'm like what is this and click on the videos. After watching the Botgrinder video I would have had no idea those were drone camps video thumbnails he was referencing. DroneCamps just blew this up in a bad way for themselves.

[@Girtthquake]

This reminds me of the Chappelle skit "when keeping it real goes wrong" Had dude just let it go, absolutely noone would have thought that he was specifically being targeted. He had a good channel, i didnt really see him as a shill. Dude shot himself in the foot hard.

[@danyels0n]

You have a good head on your shoulders, Bardwell. Abundant common sense.

[@lecolintube]

I really appreciate that you’d take time to reach out to Dronecamps, to offer advice and try to explain how his actions are perceived. AND! that you’d take time to consider him as a person (12:46) It just emphasises the care you have for people, and the willingness & humility to listen & try and understand people. I think that makes someone very proud of you! 🕊️ Thank you

[@nedkelley4810]

I used to watch Drone Camps "Rc" back in the day. It got too much with the hype train. Every fucking video was the best drone yet. I couldn't afford the lifestyle. I always wondered why he didn't try to do collabs early on. Rappers have been doing this since the 80s. It builds respect and exposure. Whatever

JB's suspicion is right, DC's channel's heyday was 6 years ago and he nary gets a few thousand views now, not enough to sustain a living. KZbin drama is the best drama

Maybe this will push drone amps to innovate. I avoided his channel before for obvious reasons but when the bot drama dropped (because I follow bot) I paused to look at DC. I noticed too that there was some original content coming out and wondered what inspired that. Now he can innovate or double down, hope he takes the high road.

Several years back when I first got into FPV I watched some of Drone Camps vids and quickly noticed everything was the best thing ever. Me already flying R/C planes since I was a kid and seeing some of his vids pertaining to airplanes is what really turned me away from his channel. All that just to say I flushed him and his channel like a big turd years back. 😁

13:33 He's losing reputation; he was already on the ropes when he did that pivot to an NFT/Crypto channel(that lasted something like a week because NFTs crashed like they obviously would), and like Blunty said there was the video where he all but said he was only doing this to feed his family. Sadly this stunt is only going to make what little reputation he had go down the tubes. He should have just played it off as "I'm just a golden retriever stuck in a man's body so I love everything!" and moved on, but his ego apparently got in the way.
