My Truth About The Sony Airpeak S1 Drone + Test Footage

[@Government_Username]

Bro for that price it better be damn near perfect. Sorry but I haven't seen any footage worth that hard earned money

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

I feel you. I really do, I paid a lotttt for my set up. I really do think it's worth it now after owning the Airpeak for 7 months. Make sure you turn in this Month i have a review dropping with some cool little things and my reasons why I think it's worth the money. But to be clear I only think its worth it if you know why you need the Airpeak. For me I wanna use it for bigger jobs thats require this type of drone, and also for super high end photography projects. I still use my Mavic Air 2S more then anything and I ordered the mini 3 pro. But the Airpeak is really one of the best drones out, I think it will take some time for people to see. Thanks for watching come back to see the next one!

[@KydKupa]

FIRST!!! This drone is sick!

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

Appreciate you! Truly excited to see what it really can do!

[@TerryWarfield]

LETS GOOOO!!

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

Appreciate you man! When we doing a video of your truck???? Say the word. Nothing but respect 💯💯💯

[@PeterLindgren1]

Cool to hear your thoughts on it man! I’m staying with the Mavic 3 though 😅

[@TylerEdwards]

Let's go bro! Love the honesty here and stoked to see what you create with the Airpeak!

[@robwashiii2793]

I cant wait to see what come from this drone and the future of sony & drones!

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

Thanks David. I really look forward to seeing how this can help push some of the things im making over the edge. Thanks for stopping by man!

[@Joechungphotography]

Nicely done man! Great to see you put out a review of your experience. I’ll be editing my review video to share as well here soon. Looking forward to your next one.

[@town3]

Smart move.

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

🙏🏾

[@terrylstarks]

Your a very smart man!!! It’s way too much money to risk. Keep on the track your on and you’ll definitely see the rewards. I’m positive we’ll see you’re name up there in the credits of great documentaries!!! There’s nothing wrong with being safe and cautious. Thanks and best wishes!!!!!!!

[@Braedin]

Stoked to follow along with your journey. I was close to buying it but I didn’t even use my inspire 2 enough to justify keeping it. KZbin is the place to show what the airpeak can do. Looking forward to what you make 👊🏼

[@rgsauve]

I now know you exist, heh heh. Great video! I wish I could use this with my Z9.

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

Haha thanks Ryan appreciate you man. Heard the Z9 is amazing! Thanks for watching boss 🙏🏾

[@LightMotionStudios]

I am currently testing my airpeak as well. HUGE vibration issue. Troubleshooted like crazy, got nowhere. Only shook when the legs were in the flight position. Got fed up and returned to B&H for replacement. Got my new one and the horrible vibration is gone but it is still super unstable on a 50mm smh not sure Sony released a working product tbh.

[@District7DrewGeraci]

Are you still having vibration issues? Did you turn off the internal stabilization on both the camera and the lens (if it had it)?

[@Palanza]

@@District7DrewGeraci my entire drone shook violently like the arms themselves. I had all active stabilization off. Same thing with my replacement I gave up and returned to B&H I think there must be some issues

[@District7DrewGeraci]

@@Palanza Ugh, that doesn't make me feel good, haha. Sorry to hear about your issues and that they couldn't be resolved. Mine comes on Tuesday, fingers crossed it doesn't have the same issue(s).

[@Palanza]

@@District7DrewGeraci hopefully you don't have the same problems. It only happened in flight with the legs up. You could see and hear a pretty dramatic change in the unit. I have footage of it shaking just ridiculous lol

[@District7DrewGeraci]

@@Palanza Noooooo. That doesn't give me great confidence then, ha. I guess we'll see what happens next week. Do you have any footage from when you were flying it? (What it looked like on camera).

[@jaysonortiz5943]

Big fan of Gary Vee!! I’m definitely going to have to check out his book!

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

Definitely a good read. He did his own audio on the audiobook it’s seriously dope

[@District7DrewGeraci]

Can you explain what the issue actually is that you had? (as to why you sent it back for inspection?)

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

Not until I have a clear idea of what happened I'd like to save my response for once I have all the information. To give you a quick run down, I felt like I didn't have control of the aircraft at some point... I'll be sure to update you once I have all the info. Did you buy an Airpeak? If so what have your flights been like? Thanks for watching hope to have some cool video to put out once I get my unit back next week!

[@District7DrewGeraci]

@@LemarGriffinfilms I orderd it yesterday and I've honestly seen ZERO reviews for it and all of the reviews I've seen have been mostly... not postive. I'll let you know how the first flight goes though!

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

@@District7DrewGeraci this is the same way I felt. I truly believe this machine can do amazing things once I get mine back I hope to make some really cool stuff personally and also for my clients. Some of the negative feedback in my opinion is user error and then some is the fault of Sony but buying the airpeak is something I think the payoff of the reward is worth the risk. Excited to see how you like yours.

[@Sabundy]

Cool video about the Sony Airpeak. Thanks for sharing. I must say that whatever negatives anyone can say about the Airpeak I must say that from what I can see the footage you got in that test flight it looks like an overhead shot from a movie. That alone shows me the potential for what you can do with it.

[@mattcarlson12]

Man that wobble footage at 6:45 🤮 I've been seeing it on all of the initial Airpeak footage. I wonder if it's an IBIS issue or the 3rd party gimbal that Sony confusingly decided to go with?

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

What up Matt! Man it was pretty shaky post the final cut stabilization actually made it watchable. I feel like the blame is on me. I need to be 100 percent sure the gimbal is balanced and have the right settings picked. This was my first flight with the camera on the aircraft so you know I was pretty cautious and careful with how I was flying. I seriously think the gimbal issue is more user error then anything. I plan on taking to the folks over at Gremsy until I seriously know the gimbal like the back of my hand. Then if it doesn’t work after that I’ll cry hahahahahah thanks for watching man appreciate ya 👍🏾

[@mattcarlson12]

@@LemarGriffinfilms Absolutely! It's a beta product so there will be some kinks to work out I'm sure! Thanks for creating the video either way and best of luck getting everything working man! 🙌

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

@@mattcarlson12 Thanks man gonna keep at it for sure. Let's catch up soon!

[@antoinesp03]

Not big enough to do cinema work. Too big and not enough flight time to do nice live coverage. And 99% of people and brands won't see the difference between shots from this drone or an Inspire 2, or even a well edited and color graded Mavic 3. I would like to love this drone but I don't see any use case or reason to have this drone! I feel like it's halfway between an Inspire 2 and an Alta X, not matching any of those 2 drones potential... 😕

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

You make some good points Antoine. Appreciate ya checking out the video. 💯👍🏾
