Flite Test - Lomo-Copter - Diana F+ Tricopter Camera

[@SamGuimbellot]

I am shocked that the tricopter carried the weight. Now, I am absolutely convinced that mine will fly (if I EVER finish it). Great job, David. I am a believer.

[@cloudsplitter24]

Very interesting video and a cool idea! I'm so glad David is now a bigger part of the show! With Josh, Josh, David and Chad you've got a terrific team!

[@bmschulman]

I commend you for showing the crash, which you could easily have cut. Crashing is part of the hobby. Too many "perfect" FPV/RC videos on here discourage and frustrate people. Thank you.

[@kaffegubbe]

This is the reason why you need to get David back! It´s so great!

[@JoeDredd2012]

Welcome back Josh Scott! Another fun and interesting video guys!

[@JustinShaedo]

Just started watching your videos. Love this one, it's so... novel. Respect that you guys have the skill and drive to make something like this.

[@bakerrv]

it's like Back to the Future! Time travel, every thing old is new again... Now let's good forward in time a hundred years lol

[@daskipper]

This video was in like 5 of my rss feeds today. You guys are famous!

[@john3Lee]

I dont have any RC stuff, but I always enjoy your videos..... very entertaining.

[@tracklabstudios]

Just stumbled across this video and must say great work guys!

[@Project-Air]

Great Video as usual guys, good work!

[@MentalWhiplash]

Nice to see the "cloverleaf" antenna being put to use! Go David!

[@randalljames1]

I think I see you have an issue with some of the commercial aspect of this.. But here are some of the facts.. There are a lot of guys that just happen across this hobby and have no idea where to start or what is even going on.. This group gives a great perspective of the sport to this group and frankly, I would rather spend my money with guys like this than some commercial conglomerate of mega retailers with no one on one relationship with viewers.. I vote +1 for guys that love their work.

[@ukionz]

Wow! U guys shows off two of my interest in one episode! And those photo taken are fine lomos'. What next? Making a copter chasing & shooting video of u guys racing on the dirt track?

[@Ampersful]

You guys have such a good show.

[@СлаваСталину-т3х]

The hipstacopter

[@shooter77us]

Trevor Phillips Beat me to it.

[@colgem]

"instagram has already met technology." That may have been the funniest thing I've heard on this show.

[@chibibobo]

Lomo-drone! Absolutely excellent, subscribed.

[@MattMadoni]

Agreed, we really need a build video!

[@falconlara]

Oh wow, nice work guys!

[@Aaron16]

It's official, Josh has turned Flightest hipster.

[@klaxalk]

Good job! The pictures are Amazing! I love you guys :-).

[@STOLerant]

Hey guys! i think i've just about watched every episode. very well done and the chemistry of the crew is great! I have a question about quads or a tri copter. My question is what is the smallest scale you could build one to do fpv. In my mind i am thinking something smaller than the Walkera QR Ladybird FPV would be possible and even improved upon. thanks in advance guys and thanks for all the great videos!

[@sikhswim]

you guys always fly in crazy wind

[@robweberphoto]

definitely a candidate for a shareable short!

[@boycoldface]

great shots!

[@Rchacker]

Really nice David. Here is a challenge, how about lifting a daguerreotype camera? I'm curious as to how easy it was to get the FPV focus right. Did you leave the lens on the FPV camera?

[@EclipseFPV]

HAHA You are so right! Before I saw this comment, I was like, "Oh they're attaching a hipster camera to a Tricopter". Thanks for the Laugh

[@AnthonyRamosHiFiWiFi]

Nice work guys... Keep it up!

[@sotosmantzouratos6512]

You guys should make a crash compilation video.Tha would be very nice.Oh, great job, by the way!!!

[@Hadee03]

Love the videos, could you guys make a video abt how the tricopter is built ?

[@AZPilot007]

Damn it looks cold there. Nice and warm here in sunny AZ...

[@juliettpapa9912]

Hey man, I NEED that FT Cruzr that I can see in the background. This is the 2nd one.... BTW. You're doing great stuff. John

[@FliteTest]

Interesting perspective... I don't see it though. -Chad

[@marchingpackofCeHS]

words... they cant describe my emotion towards that

[@anselgreg]

More plane reviews would be great

[@superjoepez]

love you guys, keep up the good work

[@roimi99]

YAY!!! GO DAVID!!! YOU ROCK!!!

[@kyrkbymannen]

Very amusing episode! :)

[@georgeaura]

This has to be my favorite video considering I am a photog

[@Steve_Larson]

Why do folks try to "catch" their aircraft? Making it the opening shot takes the cake. I watch and enjoy your channel, but you guys are smarter than this.

[@waffleman1201]

Awesome idea. Ok ive been thinking about this but what if you guys made a plane that dropped little boxes to people with parachutes? and see who can make the most acurate drop like a contest maybe?

[@WhyNotRacing156]

That plane in the background is very cool when will we see a video of it.

[@TheAdkFlyer10]

Was David's Tricoptor hand-built by him? If so, you really should do a build video! That is a great photo/video platform!

[@BluSky1]

2kg+ cheap plastic props have tracking issues. the blades start to wobble from the weight you lucked out normally when that happens the prop brakes mid air for that much weight you need xoar or graupner props The simple version is at 8:21 the back prop is not strong enough to hold the weight of that camera. its pitch gives. it looked like an 8x4.5 it bent to a 8x0 because the prop bent backwards the weight fliped it backwards.

[@Moeisabeast12]

LOL David's face after he says Josh Scott is a hipster :D 5:13 5:14

[@malcolmry]

Hipster : Hey lets get the horizon over there NonHip: Which one? Hipster : That one, the one that "looks good" NonHip: *still has no clue*

[@MikeyDee]

What tri copter is this? do you have a build video for it? looks great! even after falling so hard

[@Atarix777]

Wow - thats really awesome - i want to have one, too! :D

[@MOVIMIENTOAEREOCHANNEL]

you are out of the limit!

[@zeDoSauRus]

great stuff! nice to see people having pure RC fun :) /proceed

[@Deluxe312]

I'm surprised this didn't open up a black hole by combining such different aged technologies.

[@finbilly]

Yeah, FPV the 60's style. Now add a remote controlled hand which picks the photos... :)

[@Munky332]

At 0:30 the twin prop "FT" in the background, is that a scratch build, or some kind of frankenbuild, or what? looks pretty sweet.

[@Nalendra95]

What kind of (or kv) motor is that? And nice flying!

[@XrayMike]

Nice going.. I see that you're using an LRS system (guessing EzUHF @ 8:43)

[@AsylumET]

That feeling in your stomach every time you cut another balloon free 0.0

[@AndreCantarel]

When you cut an intro (first 26 seconds), keep the eyescan in mind. Right now it's very unpleasing to look at with the fast cuts. Pick the shots in a way the eye doen't need to travel much from cut to cut.

[@familyrc1]

wre can you buy the tricopter or get the plans to make it because l love it its soo awsome!!!

[@ShiversRSS]

Check out the Dynam HawkSky. I love mine. Nitro planes is having a sale going on right now.

[@EduardoRosarioRX]

I went out from fullscreen just to like the video

[@V4rya]

this should have been done in a huge city or something

[@MK2EA]

Yeah I think the pictures would have looked much better that way

[@Cyberdactyl]

Cool. Very novel. But here's my question. I am now very familiar with Insta-Morph. It has amazing properties. It is easily molded by the average hobbyist, it is also fairly light and has an incredible stress-strain curve. Somewhat on par with nylon. However, I noticed David COMPLETELY wrap and encircle the FPV cam lens with it. IM needs to be heated to a MINIMUM of around 125-130F to become pliable enough to be manipulated. How will David remove the IM without damaging the cam?

[@Slamy4096]

At 8:23 I shed a tear. Such a poor thing. :-D

[@misterpotato2]

when will you guys will test out the dji phantom?

[@xavierschario8337]

Cool tricopter what type is it?

[@adit1001able]

my favorite camera

[@gertvanderpaelt]

Saw the tumbnail and thought "please don't tell me they put a Leica on a drone."

[@unolisto]

nice video. you guys are crazy!

[@AZYL2009]

Great idea.

[@HipekPhotography]

Could you tell me more about this wireless camera and glasses with u use? please

[@CountryMaster16]

damn whats that antenna? plus what kind of motor are you guys running in order to carry that thing, i know dianas are light as f as they are just pure plastic but yeah

[@BluSky1]

warpedfusion It looks like a UHF receiver I am guessing from the Dx6i josh is using 2.4ghz to snap the pictures David it flying the tri via the UHF receiver at 433mhz and live video feed from the fpv camera is using 1.3ghz This is just my pro guess

[@thisiskarlwetherby]

I'm new to copters. Where can I get that board? I am guessing it is the flight control board?

[@eyeknowwhereyoulive4259]

what wireless video recorder di you use for the tricopter?

[@nabe5204]

you guys should sell this online or something!!!

[@fiddlestickify]

great idea!!

[@PMPiper86]

cant wait to try my kk2 out. a few more weeks (hobbyking's speedy service)

[@donjuanzx9]

I'm into "Mammography", what are you into?

[@CrackerMcGillicuddy]

Put a Super-8 camera on a XPS EDF jet next!

[@lxndrskv]

What was the receiver used on that Tricopter?

[@rcsquirrel17]

That's a cool video and funny too good job hey for scratch building u should get a hz super cub and make it super scale like put a cockpit and everything in it

[@warpedfusion]

what is the pcb board directly in front of the kk2 is it gps? and osd? sorry i know i sound like a noob but im just wondering

[@SuperDrMaximum]

It would be even better if it would just rain the pictures down to whoever just had their picture taken :)

[@voyaex]

Can i use Lomocamera as a FPV camera ?? Does it record HD resolution ?

[@jdietz9racing]

What dirt track is that? Iv been racing for years vin the kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana area.

[@coldisopropyl]

Do you need to get approval from FAA to perform these flights?

[@ezragrothe]

I'm lovin it!

[@ITCyoy543]

nice dave. nice.

[@MrMyKidd]

OMG Josh S., I wear hipsters too!

[@GrimSchwede]

Very cool Guys!!

[@evanforst7272]

Why havet I seen this earlier

[@DistantFilms]

That's soooo cool!!!!

[@marchingpackofCeHS]

only when you take a balloon ride to space :D

[@WillemSteenkampjebo]

Where can I get an Tricopter like this in South Africa?

[@flyingphoenix113]

That's awesome!

[@Nandox7]

What's that 433Mhz RX?

[@Beckju96]

When is a new scratch build coming out

[@STOLerant]

also, Is it possible to get into any form of rc flying (quad, plane, tri, etc.) for under $100? thanks again guys!

[@ThePavelrg]

does that modify my impression?
