[@RockFPV]

There are some clever minds behind Betafpv, consistency and quality, not so sure about that :-)

[@joshuayoung6286]

Nice shot of the soldier sailor monument.

[@baggszilla]

I love it! Great job BetaFPV and thanks Nurk but your talking over $700 to almost $900 for this quad with 360 camera! DAMN that's alot!

[@dubdubphotos]

I just ordered one of these! Excited for this review and what Nurk thinks about it

[@felixleveille8441]

How have you commented 5 hours ago if the video just came out ? 🤨

[@KhoPhi]

@@felixleveille8441 video was on premiere. Anyone can comment before the actual time for premiere happens

[@WW614]

@@felixleveille8441 I come from the future

[@RedCornStudios]

Nice execution on the 360 drone idea, just never have been able to find a useful or consistently profitable use-case for it.

[@frollard]

and this is why gear on commercial aircraft have a switch that gives telemetry 'green lights'. I'd really want to see that as part of the vtx overlay next to battery; gear commanded position, and gear actual position.

[@chrisallison4175]

Finding the right object/environment for the 360 cameras makes all the difference. And, that structure is perfect. Makes an incredible video that needs no explanation. One of the best uses of an insta360 I've seen.

[@MarkFisch]

Wait a second u sim race!!!! Love that fanatec stuff it’s amazing!!!! Let’s race one day

[@ShawnStevensNZ]

I always forget to like, i'll run thru and click a heap at some point, as I've watched most of it, love your work btw, it's totally amazing

[@WrongWayFPV]

This rig would have made for some sweet shots when you chasing roller coasters. Thanks for your thoughts on this 👍

[@jeanm7115]

I would be happy if you briefly compare SMO360 vs Insta360 ONE R / Stitching error and video quality and resolution and any jello effect if visible and its solution. Waiting. Thank you.

[@mcronfpv8736]

6:46 : dude, with some proper lighting that could've been some real MKBHD stuff here :D

[@VinydFPV]

It's crazy but the first time I seen this drone I thought of you! 👍💯

[@ChrisParayno]

Imagine if you were inebriated and saw that intro 🤣🤣 Very cool, surprised how well the low light is.

[@Crashtopher]

I have a Newbeedrone Invisi360 and I'm terrified to fly without the plastic lens guards, for reasons which are quite obvious from your cinebird videos. Low light is not good, and direct sunlight creates a hideous glare through the lens guards. You can obviously still scratch the lens guards on impact, but those are $5 a piece to replace as opposed to scrapping a $400 camera. I really enjoy it, but maybe I haven't yet found the ideal flight conditions. Perhaps a windless, bright overcast day might yield the best results but I haven't had a chance to test it exactly like this. Sort of limiting but I love the potential.

[@superfireflyguy2054]

I like the concept of this kind of drone, but I already have the fully-fledged Insta360 One R with 360 lens mod. I don't like the fact that I'd need to buy a dedicated camera for this. I'd prefer a frame that had space for the camera I already have. To be fair, this is a niche application in a niche hobby (and it's only a hobby to me), so if I were to go for an "invisible" drone setup, it would have to be a stand out model for me to stump up the cash. Great vid as always, though.

[@bobcustoms]

Dude I wanna get one of these so bad if it had longer flight times it would be my dream drone for onset shooting

[@CaptainMavic]

It was fun seeing the monument as a tiny plant. Thanks for the review!

[@divingfalconfpv4602]

OMG the excited done. Very excited drone has me laughing

[@apachesmokemachining6487]

Great review

[@licensetodrive9930]

Landing without breaking the camera? Use a cushion.

[@ChainsawFPV]

Excited drone. Giggity.

[@georgeaura]

Where can a combo version be purchased?

[@fpvkabo]

Maybe the way u landed the landing gear push the servo, servo's are locked, I believe when you disarm, it won't go back out, requested controller position.

[@jasonmarotta9545]

Agree with quality, night footage is noisy AF.

[@noname-xq5ie]

Cool video as always

[@mr-huggy]

Looks a nifty little rig but that price. As for the banding when it is using one camera it goes away so i'm thinking it might be a software issue. Also you can buy clear lense protectors for them.

[@ADRIANSFPV]

A great drone for cinematic and commercial shots!

[@h29rikichannel42]

It's great to be able to freely edit the camera angle ! 😄👍!

[@PhilWarner]

Are the lenses on the SMO 360 user replaceable?

[@dougcooper4917]

Looks so unreal 😳😳😳😃😃😃

[@alexanderalexandrov4696]

чувак, ты постоянно удивляешь своими разработками! круто!

[@jackbisson9226]

One or two more revs and this will be good for commercial production.

[@jackbisson9226]

Paul I see you flying all these loud CineWhoops with no ear protection. Give it a try and use those foam plugs from CVS or local hardware store to protect your hearing. All it takes is one session to get Tinnitus.

[@Elpharaohsace]

Awesome f'in Video man🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋

[@Khalinakhe]

Would love to see that kickstand spring loaded, so that if shit Hits the fan it would immediately engage with the disarm button, sure you'd need to fly it back to re .. ahem.. reCOCK the kickstand everytime you engaged it but that's not that bad.

[@chonk1221]

Hello did you ever try the slammed squirt? What about those fpvcycle 23mm motors for cinewhoops.

[@kuliahtransportasi]

wow

[@aerialvation]

What yellow/black quad patch antennas are those you are using in the video?

Great shot with the statue! What city is that in?

[@Crashtopher]

That's Indianapolis, IN, USA

[@Gari9090]

How long can you fly this drone

[@ukrattus]

Hi Paul, great video. Answered a lot of my questions. Just wondering, wouldn't the SD card be accesible (if tight) through the battery bay on that side? Might be easier with a printed tool to load/unload it. Just a thought. Also, I wonder if the stick on lens protectors are still a useful addition for this. I noticed in a couple of the BetaFPV promo shots they've obviously mounted them. Dunno if they impact the quality too badly though. I know the GoPro MAX ones are surprisingly good if they are pristine.

[@HantuBorneo]

SIR WHAT CINEWHOOP BEST FOR GOPRO HERO 10

[@TheMadmacs]

its a bit dumbfounding they cant make something with landing gear or lens covers, iforce2d could make you one within the hour.

[@mattconnell211]

Great vid 🤙🏼 I notice you’re running the maple antennas on ur goggles, I’ve been looking into them but can’t find many reviews, how do you rate them?

[@Makerfire]

Hello Paul Nurkkala, how to contact you to cooperate?

[@skunati]

Nice review thank you Nurk, please can you share a raw file from the SMO360 ? i saw all the time a strange spot (stitch line on the front with a different color like a lens flare.... i don't like that, i would like check if it's possible ? i need a perfect stitch for my project. Thanks !!! ;)

[@NURKFPV]

uh yeah I could do that. email me at paul nurkkala at gee mail and I'll get you hooked up.

[@skunati]

@@NURKFPV i sent 3 days ago an email please don't forget me :(

[@NightRiderFPV]

Hey Nurk, do you fly Nurk rates on your cinewhoops? (.80, .80 no expo on all three)? I actually plugged those rates on my last cinewhoop flight, and felt pretty good...

[@MarkFisch]

My only issue is that’s it’s betafpv and I have nothing with problems with them

[@mcronfpv8736]

Thanks for testing. Indeed some crazy shots are possible with these cameras but man... it's expensive... and lenses are so exposed it's hard to pull the trigger without knowing for sure there's a job that'll need it. Since the camera is made for FPV they sould've made it with repairability in mind (make it easy to change lenses) You seriously screwed up by landing it on the pavement... kickstand is usefull for takeoff.... Landing has to be done on a soft material or by catching anyway.

[@dubdubphotos]

Help Nurk! I got my Pavo360 and i cant get the servo switch to bind to my controller, Running a Tango 2. Ive got everything else set up except for the reason i bought the drone, the damn landing gear,

[@NURKFPV]

It should just be on aux 4 (channel 8) by default. They have instructions on their website for it

[@dubdubphotos]

@@NURKFPV very minimal instructions. im stuck. I dunno if its my lack of knowledge around my Tango 2 or what.

[@NURKFPV]

@@dubdubphotos check out instructions on "servo control betaflight" tons of resources out there for setting it up

[@thatman8987]

Hey Nurk this comment has nothing to do with this video. None of my friends watch F-1 racing. I just can't believe f1 broke their own rule and changed the outcome of the race and the championship. Being a racer and a champion and an f1 fan would you accept a victory like that. I mean, if you won a race and discovered that some rule was ignored to give you that win would you accept the "victory".

[@flyingsrn]

basically i like this concept. buuuut, 470 bucks for thr drone & 400 bucks for the cam (which only makes sense when using with the drone)..... i don't know.... nice idea, but in my opinion this solution is still not ready for "public" use.

[@razzreal_fpv]

First thought god I want one....2nd thought....oh yeah all my BetaFPV stuff catches on fire, FFFFFFFFFF

[@vanlifefpv6340]

Wow, this is expensive

[@ratchet_hoe]

the kickstand is a good idea but poor implementation

[@Nine_883]

Price is just way too high. BetaFPV has good ideas, but generally their quality is not so good. BetaFPV 95 V3 out of the box was crap. Then they made a “refresh”. Then they recommended you buy different motors, then the Pavo. Something like that. Wasted my money on that thing. It just sits.

[@SkyCandyVisuals]

🙈🤦

[@Pyrolassist]

Wake up call for GoPro. Time to poop or get off the pot with their 360 camera program.

[@jeeenyus4385]

Guessing some city spend some incredible amount of $ for this goofy sculpture just so no one can play basketball ? seems a waste of a good basketball court.

[@verdi6092]

betafpv.. pass...

[@jgreg95]

For a drone that can only use one specific camera and a camera that’s only useful with one drone, at THAT cost in this economy. It’s a no for me.
