Indoor Drone Flying-YOU WILL CRASH!

[@HawkeScream]

I don't know how you managed to put so much info in a sub-10 minute video. I checked to see how much time was left and I was at 3.5 minutes, but it felt like I had learned at least 10 minutes worth of information. Y'all are magic. Thanks for another helpful video!

[@tattoodrdoke]

Best advice if your photographer film maker if you want to fly indoors. Find a really good sports drone pilot and learn from them. I spend a summer flying with a sports drone pilot and I learnt a lot also learn how to fly in first person without a spotter. Also you can test your route around the house by physically walking the route with the drone and have it on so you can see the angles.

[@MN-xh2wn]

Please remember to switch RTH (return-to-home) to Hover!!

[@egorone0408]

Also you need to disable return to home

[@shadaiperez]

A lot of times if I want to get a steady shot indoors and I don't have my gimbal I just use the Drone handheld it works great and it's not dangerous.

[@jagerardi]

As a pilot, I think the best tip you gave was not actually mentioned, but shown: practice in your own home first, as you did. Coupling that with your "be the best pilot you can be" is excellent advice: fly in your own home first, and if you're damaging stuff, walk away from the drone. Flying is a practiced skill, and it's also a perishable one: yesterday I went flying with a friend who hadn't flown in over 5 months, and he almost killed us on landing. You NEED to practice flying it tight spaces constantly, or it'll become a case of it being not IF you crash into something and damage it, but WHEN. ..Joe

[@chelseanorthrup8787]

I really miss my thumbs, gyz! Please fly safely.

[@KyrosX27]

6:01 you mean, "don't forget to give this video a _thumb_ up!"

[@HawkeScream]

RIP Chelsea's thumbs

[@smaakjeks]

+Chelsea Way to make evolution feel like the maid. "You *just* evolved those thumbs! Could you keep them *on* for ten million years??"

[@chrisfeatherstone9691]

Lol

[@rternowski]

Informative and funny

[@Garymayo]

Optical avoidance very important on Mavic Air. Turn off Ground detection for landing. Use in GOOD lighted areas. Use DJI cage, trim and use quiet props, they are wider, motors run slower.

[@wwbren]

My take, is use a Tello! I have an indoor flight video on my channel, it's manageable but Tello is only 720p. Loads of fun flying indoor.

[@paulinefollett3099]

Top tips Tony. I hope no animals were injured in the making of this video. Too bad about Chelsea's fingers. Lol.

[@jg1468]

So true I'm awesome flying outside tried it inside no GPS way harder

[@JinKazama92]

what an encouraging TITLE

[@CGProtagonist]

Very important tip for flying indoors. Dji Mavic pro does't have ATTI mode. The only way get in ATTI mode whit it is , GPS signal to be very poor or not existent. So for safety purposes Mavic Pro have option what to do when lose connection to the remote you must set this option to hover, or if else is set to RTH and for some reason the drone GPS got connection will set a home point, and if for some reason lose connection with the remote you drone will try to go "home" and its possible to hit the sealing. This tip is also useful if you going to fly under some kind of object like bridge for example.

[@mycirus]

I like to fly min indoors sometimes. Its fun. I like to live dangerously.

[@MrPictor]

I would use a handheld gimball to produce most of my smooth shots and then use a drone for those which can't be shot handheld. I am sure that this way saves much time and sanity.

[@themontanofamily3250]

Ahhh I want a mavic! Just not sure how long I can wait for the Mavic Pro 2

[@joedavies1010]

Us gamers will be able to do this effortlessly with no proactive the advice you give slips from somones who's never played a games and has 110 percent perfect hand eye coordination

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Yeah I've been training for this my whole life

[@adammelnyk5631]

Thanks for the video. Recently I've been experimenting with indoor flying using my Mavic Air, and transitioning from indoor to outdoor. What I learned is that leaving the downward sensors and positioning, and turning off the front and rear sensors yields a drone that is completely stable and controllable indoors. It actually blew me away how stable it was just based on that one set of sensors being left on. I then did a transition from indoor to outdoor and what I found was when going into an open environment from a closed one, you will need to stop, and turn the front and rear sensors on again while the drone acquires a GPS signal. I did find the first flight from indoors to outdoors resulted in a max flight altitude reached at 10ft as it acquired a signal, but after it acquired GPS it had no issue. When going back inside I would just stop right before entering, switch off the front/rear sensors and land indoors. I also used this under a tree canopy with zero issue. Honestly, this is a game changer, and with the prop guards on I have very little worry about damaging the drone.

[@Vmaxfodder]

I fly indoors all the time ! mostly my beat up syma x5c . through doors ect.ect. no prop guards . but Im not very smart.

[@JB-xi5ek]

Sounds like it would be easier to simply video using a hand-held camera. Might be useful in high interiors such as factories and warehouses to check for faults, stock etc.

[@joelin3382]

Wow, amazing tips! Thank you Tony & Chelsea.

[@Jacob_Roberts]

Would it help to put the sticks on a table rather than holding it in your hand?

[@gastong.loperena7378]

Good tips, Tony. Thanks! Cheers from Argentina

[@HarryBunnGRVOTV]

Exponential really helps with smooth flying.

[@gtt2138]

i am a beginner. i feel like both of u are the best one to help me buy my first dslr. m confused between canon 200d and nikon d5300. please help me out. i will be very much thankful to u. thanks.....

[@markrickert9421]

Great video. I will try these tips. Thanks.

[@JanneRanta]

Thumbs up for Chelsea :)

[@tuvaaq]

Be awesome if there was an app to program in a flight path macro like the BIG-TRAK monster truck from the 70's...

[@jackbisson9226]

Tony great stuff. I am always learning stuff from you. You are the Man!

[@monarchco]

The Mavic Pro has prop cages.... soooo.... Not only is crashing less likely(bumping into walls or plants are fine), but you're safer with it close to you.....

[@iceblaster071]

toni, you should do drone racing

[@yogiphotographykorba]

sir pls help me 18-200 wich is best nikon mount temron, nikon ,& sigma pls rep

[@RobTillitz]

As always, well-thought-out competent advice. Thanks. That's almost a video a day this week. You guys are fun to troll.

[@chrisfeatherstone9691]

Sandi is like, “here we go again, first the puppy and now Tony is picking me up. I gotta get out of this place” lol

[@eksmaan]

As a realtor, photographer and drone operator (and overall photo nerd), this is a bullet proof video. Great tips guys!

[@Cr3ypted]

Hi i also have a mavic air, as you said use ATTI mode and deactivate GPS mode, how do you do that? Thanks

[@esdsix]

Hey Tony & Chelsea, I know you've probably heard this before about 'Where can I fly my drone?' for me, I'm referring to West Los Angeles areas. I called City Park Ranger to see if there was a 'no drone ordinance' and yes they have one and it sucks because parks are supposed to be public places to have fun, especially big parks with wide open spaces. Here's the ordinance LAMC 63.44B8 that says; No person shall land, release, take off or fly any balloon, except children toy balloons not inflated with any flammable material, helicopter, parakite, hang glider, aircraft or powered models thereof, except in areas specifically set aside therefor. Gliders would fall under aircraft. < ~~ It's pretty lame. It's like saying, you can buy a car but you can't drive it anywhere on the roads. The scrutiny of drones is a suffocating insanity when it comes to having some recreational fun. We have no issues with following safety guidelines about airspace with the FAA. The lens on how drones are perceived really needs a massive overhaul, imo. Are there any options or do we just sit our drones on our desks?

[@georgebarreto6022]

great demo thank you awesome team

[@fynbo1007]

Thank you for sharing your amazing video

[@Trishlicious]

I miss my drywall... :( looks like freddy kruger invaded my house.

[@ashfaqahmad4198]

I want to buy a camera, which is the best Nikon D5500 and D620 please tell me sir

[@a2roland]

Thank you

[@amdenis]

TONY/CHELSEA: Wow, great video! Question: I have and love all your books- they are the best available on their subjects... period. Related to shooting real estate videos and fine homes/architecture, what are the best process/tips/strategies/solutions videos, courses and/or books for a technically advanced shooter, looking to learn from advanced creative professional types? I went through Mike Kelley’s fstoppers RE/Architecture videos (very good, albeit, I had found ways to do various things more efficiently and mitigate problems he deals with in post- but he covers a lot of ground). Which books, videos or other courses / authors do you recommend? I have tilt shifts, custom PS actions/Adobe suite skills, C1P, extensive lighting, drones and related options I use in-house. I live in AZ and do landscape, portraits, real estate/architecture, ls/astro, and care most about quality/look, as I find that I can learn to increase efficiency later, after developing a solid creative skills base. So, I gravitate to people like you and Chelsea, Karl Taylor, Lisa Holloway and many others. I try to spend at least 45 minutes each day of creative “me-time”, on top of commercial shooting requirements.

[@brianmiller5043]

I need a drone for indoor pictures and or video for my real estate business. A camera that can pivot / is movable. I have been researching them for a while. Which one would you recommend? Thank you!

[@marcelokunze7711]

should i use tripod mode to fly indoors? (mavic pro 1)

[@itzboba69]

i'm curious, who actually flies their drone indoors for real estate photography/videography. not outdoors but indoors.

[@herreraid2010]

Great tips Tony!

[@Fourthdi]

Nice video! I love how you told us all things to consider about audiovisual projects !! hey!: I have the same blonde dog as you, but I got it in the street so I dont know what race is.... you know ? :O!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Mines a labradoodle. Half lab, half poodle.

[@jbolf6]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@roderickwho1983]

great video! I give it 4 thumbs up ! Eh... sorry Chelsea. Is it too soon ? ;-)

[@rodneysmith633]

Love your "thumbs" comments Chelsea

[@ValiRossi]

All the RC helicopter pilots are getting called for flying lessons. :)

[@TheDadVlog]

I flew without the screen. I'm bad at that

[@kesolb]

One christmas my mom bought my dad a drone... Me and the dog are still traumatized.

[@asebaninja]

K Mulder since you didn't mention your mum in the latter part guess she didn't survive... RIP

[@KnorpelDelux]

1:40 There's some Pixel peeping for you :D

[@Tipster49]

KnorpelDelux I looked back to see what you meant. Is Pixel the dog?

[@sircody01]

Yep. That's their new pup they got about a month or two ago.

[@KnorpelDelux]

Haha, yeah...the puppy's name is Pixel :D

[@schang77]

Which is the best drone to fly in doors!?

[@LegoBuildersMOC]

Who plays violin/viola @ 0:10?

[@aeolisticwill]

Yeah, my drone was borne under a wandering star.

[@caseywalker86]

Do you know of a way to get the Mavic Air into ATTI mode?

[@TonyAndChelsea]

No it doesn't do it

[@subwarpspeed]

Mavic Pro user here. If it works the same you can't force it, there was some have with dji assistant for doing it but you actually don't want it! Keep it bright and have visual positioning as Tony mentions - it will be in OPTI mode. Think of how an optical mouse works - it take "pictures" of the surface and compares to previous to tell the computer how the pointer should move. But with drones OPTI it aims at not moving when looking at photos it takes underneath. Very stable in my testing. Set the drone to hover if it loses RC contact instead of RTH. If it would have gotten some GPS positioning to set a homepoint and then it loses the RC it might do a RTH flight, which is done at a minimum of 20 meters... I.e straight up into the ceiling. And use tripod mode, I don't think you need any faster. If nothing changes in the environment (i.e. se a big clock with seconds arrow) you can speed it up in post

[@Rifleman7kw]

Get in touch with a local R/C club and get an instructor.....

[@grandetaco4416]

Chelsea is the Costello to Tony's Abbot.

[@DmitryRudoy]

Where is the crushing part?!

[@Emuspaul]

Better to use an actioncam on a gimbal.

[@Quattro4k82]

It's true. I've done it dozens of times and killed dozens of propellers.

[@hitermiss986]

He looks just like the actor, Timothy Olyphant lol

[@DaleSheltonsPage]

Chelsea made me LOL ... outloud.

[@MrJhuang999]

Just hold the drone in your hand and use the gimbal. Flying in a client’s home sounds like a terrible idea.

[@bennylee6584]

yayyy

[@tassiaartandphotogrophy9574]

Stay off the ghost train tracks!

[@djorgen]

Yeahhh... Here's a tip: do not fly inside. ;-)

[@purenupe1]

The video difinently suffers from the soap opera effect ( on my Samsung Note 8).

[@MatthewDeering]

Prop guards are for chumps!

[@bry14661]

A proper pilot can fly without the aids and won't crash indoors

[@smaakjeks]

They don't need this video, then. For everyone else, this video might be useful.

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

Best advice: dont fly your drone indoor :-)

[@SnapographyAP]

Anyone who can fly in atti doesn't need your advice, anyone who doesn't which is 99% of people will never be able to learn to just fly indoors....takes years of experience. This is an irresponsible video. Even small drones can cause major injury. A drone is terrible for filming indoors anyway. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

[@gavinwade349]

Definitely

[@subwarpspeed]

Used Mavic Pro indoors in OPTI mode without problem and without a lot of experience. You are stuck with ATTI mode attitude ;-)

[@MichaelMuni]

not if you are good. however, flying indoors should be done just for fun, not for getting footage.

[@smaakjeks]

n people who never crash < n people who think they will never crash

[@ericlowenbach5151]

Out of curiosity, what's the negative consequence of getting footage?

[@eddymaddix1786]

The footage taken will unbalance the SD card and you will crash.

[@skycamjoe3871]

Eric Lowenbach, I think he meant, if you're not that experienced as a "manual" drone pilot, you're best doing indoor shots to just gain profency. Fly indoors just for fun in the mean time.

[@bill7484]

Good un, teehee
