Parrot Disco FPV

Parrot Disco FPV September Year 1

[@piperman2010]

I can feel your tension during her flight however it was so nice and peaceful. Thank you for your sharing.

[@yaelsoatra7818]

Thank you for sharing that great fly times

[@lizmontivani]

very nice video so peaceful and pleasant. well done. congratulations.so much more relaxed than a drone.

[@Helderhugo]

It is diferent and relaxing yes. We feel nice but we should be carefful too

[@joshuafergusonrc7939]

I just got my parrot disco today.

[@davephantom]

Excellent video - I've had a DISCO for a while but never had the 'guts' for FVP... maybe one day! The DISCO is a 'Dream Machine'.

[@Helderhugo]

Thank you. Sometimes I think I don't have the guts for FPV with the Disco but try to find a very large place to do the first FPV flight. If something goes wrong there will be no problem on an emergency landing.

[@davephantom]

@@Helderhugo I'll try it with the Goggles one day - but I'll probably loose my balance and fall over - will need a seat!

[@Helderhugo]

@@davephantom Yes seated we concentrate better

[@davephantom]

Wow that was great enjoyed watching that what a great flight

[@beefybeef1326]

Really enjoy your detailed videos. Even how you show your screen recordings in every video is excellent. Thanks for the great content. Subscribed!

gracias por compartir tu video esta muy bonito lo que hace la tegnologia cuando vi todo tu video me parecio viajar en una nave.

[@Helderhugo]

Gracias. Aún así que transmite esa sensación.

Good video relaxing for the soul 😀

[@henriquepoeiramanso6612]

Mais um voo espectacular, parabéns! Tens é que aperfeiçoar as aterragens..... ;)

[@nabilgravityoxygen]

How did you manage to have that telemetry in the recorded video? The one with analog type dials in it?

[@gba5534]

Beautiful view!

[@panthai272]

Wow what a wonderfuel Place, now i must go flying with my Bbop 1 to. Fly save nd have Fun! (:

[@AS-tb3ul]

What's program do you use to manage this drone? it is something special or that you created yourself?

[@jetmartin9501]

Was this a manual landing? Is it that difficult to gauge the landing distance?....If so then you'd need a REALLY large landing area.

[@jefer1490]

Me encanto👏, Saludos desde Venezuela👍👋

[@josefernandomonlloraparisi4030]

very nice fly. congratulations

[@tuttoto]

Thank you a lot for this one.... by the way, did you try Auriga headtracking with the Disco? And do you have a video about it?

[@Helderhugo]

I didn't. I should yes

[@tuttoto]

Helderhugo all my flights and videos have been made with headtracking on the Disco... it is so fun to fly around places and watch them by looking sideways... (most of the time, it is forbidden to fly over...). Auriga for Android devices is perfect for it (and I love the ILS feature too...). I’ll wait for one video from you with headtracking on a Disco impatiently... ;) ( don’t forget to configure a reset/center button ... as you move to keep the directional WiFi...)

[@Helderhugo]

@@tuttoto That is a good idea for me to do. It's like flying inside it or like a bird :-D

[@tuttoto]

Helderhugo yep... one of the best freedom feeling I have ever had... ;)

[@oktokopter1961]

Hello....nice Video LG

[@cruzy1969]

great footage my friend :-)

[@Georgewrigley]

Beautiful flying

[@JackCobalt]

im really sad they discontinued the Disco, i really wanted one after watching a few videos only to find out they stopped producing it, hard to find a alternative either :l

[@Helderhugo]

Me too. Hard to get good alternative I think. Now only we could get in second hand

[@rickdeckard7549]

Get a refurbished one on ebay/amazon right now...generally as of today, going for around 470 USD. I got mine this way, no issues, flies right, and there are still plenty of replacement parts out there...i'd do it know before we get regulated right out of a hobby in the next few years....

[@chuckjohns4698]

Hi. I have a coup of discos. I use the skycontroller 1 on them as instead of the camera only going up and down you control it all around. Get some good range from it too

[@Helderhugo]

Skycontroller 1 work with Parrot Disco?

[@SergioNayar]

Great video Helder!

[@stemp4]

Wonderful video, I've also got a Parrot and will fly it soon. One question I have is how do you add the compass, the speedometer and the other instruments in the flight view?

[@Helderhugo]

Thank you. Enjoying flying and observing the nature. That Video with the Telemetry overlayed is done after the flight. Watch this video how I do it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4SZgYSpmKeprpI

[@1000frolly]

This is how long it took to get my R/C glow-plug engined plane trimmed, tuned, radio-checked, started and up in the air; 3hrs 25min (with the help of 3 experienced assistants). Flight time was 1min 20sec and I had to dig the engine out of the hole it made in the ground after it's vertical dive, and 5min to break up and dispose of the broken air-frame. Time to recover and clean the dirt out of the engine & remove radio/servers from the plane was 35 min. Time to get back to my car to drive home was 10sec.

[@Helderhugo]

Yes. A lot of time and work. I saw people with glow engine planes before.

[@1000frolly]

Now I play Golf.

[@martiniolionolio5623]

Loving my disco. So much fun for a little money.

[@Helderhugo]

Now is little money

[@spencerfil]

Helderhugo How much does it cost now ?

[@Jrn-rmn]

Il est epic ton drone

[@TrihanoRecords]

Man this is so beautiful. Look so much fun to fly. My only concern is this really worth of buying ? Will there be parrot disco 2 anytime soon ?

[@Helderhugo]

This is fun! I was thinking the same. Is it worth of buying it? Whith the right price defenetly it is! This was 550€

[@HornetdasCaldas]

Espetaculo, Vou comprar o bebop 2 , mas um dia se poder tambem compro um disco

[@Helderhugo]

Hornet das Caldas olha que não esperava que fosse tão bom voar com o Disco. E pensava que os videos não se aproveitassem devido ás guinadas do Disco no ar mas também estava enganado. É sensacional.

[@danieltheraulaz]

My next! Nice Airplane

[@GOMABSIGMA]

Awesome

[@fudgedog123]

I just bought one. At £350? What a bargain:)

[@Helderhugo]

Indeed

[@craigs71]

I got one yesterday for £300, I’m taking it out at the weekend if the weather holds. I’m getting the battery charger flashing, apparently I need to pretty much discharge the battery and it will be fine (if not then I’ll just take it back for exchange).

[@Flyingramses]

Fabulous video, very well done. Do you know if there is any way of adding that flight statistics overlay to the video without a laptop?

[@Helderhugo]

Thank you. I only know how to do this with a Computer.

[@BradKwfc]

As far as FPV, Do you like this more than the bebop? Also, I wonder if the Auriga app works for this?

[@Helderhugo]

They are 2 diferente ways of flight. For me I like both in a diferent ways. Disco feels like you are really flying. With the Bebop we can feel we are flying of course but we can stop in the air. It is different and both are great. It seems Auriga is working with the Disco in the later updates. I didn't test it yet.

[@BradKwfc]

Helderhugo Awesome, thanks for the reply. I've been watching your videos, they're awesome. Wanting to get the bebop 2 soon.

[@Helderhugo]

Thank you very much

[@dudleyhutchinson4800]

Hi, Dudley from UK. I enjoyed watching the 4g flight. How can I set up my disco to fly 4g ? Can anyone advise

[@traxxi2003]

Helderhugo very nice video!!! Question; What are you using to display the flight data at the bottom of the screen? It looks really good!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@Helderhugo]

Thank you. I explain here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4SZgYSpmKeprpI

[@knightstemplar6835]

As a beginner is it easy to start to fly with Disco's FPV or automated flight plan? Thanks

[@Helderhugo]

Very easy. FlightPlans are flawless too... when well programed :-)

[@esuohdica]

I haven't played with the goggles yet, but how do you know which direction to fly to come home if you don't know the area? Is there a small radar thing still available? Cheers from uk

[@Helderhugo]

There are info on the screen. The Radar and the little arrows and symbols. There are Auriga Bebop for flying the Disco too with more info on the screen.

[@esuohdica]

Great thanks for reply! I must try this it look fun.

[@Helderhugo]

And with the 4G Softmod is even much better

[@esuohdica]

Yes I’ve looked at the 4g mod and ordered the parts. I was wondering what happens if the connection drops, or you run out of data?! Assuming that it does a return to home and then you can switch back to the WiFi connection when it arrives back above you in loiter mode?

[@Helderhugo]

Yes. All like that.

[@denero4735]

Hey Helder, call me a late starter but I'm looking to buy a second hand Parrot Disco with 4kmah battery fitted and landing skid plate flys well but camera is out of focus a little, is this a common problem with disco? And would it be a easy fix vs cost etc. I trust your videos and experience and any feedback would be appreciated D- Australia

[@Helderhugo]

Hi. The camera out of focus maybe become because of some bad landings? Does the camera have scratches or marks due to crash landings? We can fix the focus of the camera but it is a risky process. Because the camera is sealed and when we broke the seal we have to manually focus and then seal it again like in the Bebop Drones. It's not impossible but it's a little dificult to do it. I remember some Bebop 2 drones cameras become out of focus because of the heat and because of the crasshes. The Disco camera is almost the same camera.

[@denero4735]

@@Helderhugo yes thank you Hugo I'm going to leave it and look for another it did have marks to nose hence why focus was out Are they worth buying the price was around €250-300 euro with 4000battery mod and skid plate etc quality one

[@denero4735]

@@Helderhugo I'm just a little bit confused why the servo arms were replaced? Would this be due to bad damage from landing rough?

[@Helderhugo]

@@denero4735 Only the Disco or with Skycontroller 2? Yes it is a good price if it is ok.

Hey what app you use to fly i like the dash with the 3 circle i have a bebop 2 can that app be use with it

[@Helderhugo]

[@VexinGaming]

Im gonna get a disco but to return it to home i just press it once right? And if i move the stick it will stop the return and go back to manual control?

[@Helderhugo]

Yes pressing once or loosing connection it will return home (Confirm if the Disco is with green GPS before take off). When we touch the sticks he aborts returning home but with the last updates and firmware I don't know if they change that.

Já estás um pró!... ;)

[@jetmartin9501]

Loved the video. Unless I missed them I haven't see any recent videos with the Disco. Are you still flying it? Someone was selling a brand new one for $400 and I'm very tempted to purchase it. I'd love to chat with someone that owns one to answer some questions and address my concerns before I purchase. Here are some of the questions I have: 1 - I assume there is an automated landing capability? If so how accurate is it? Can you make minor steering changes to the drone if it is in automated landing mode or does that cancel out the landing. 2 - How difficult is it to land manually? 3 - How much clear space do you need to be able to land it. There are some fields in my area but they tend to be surrounded by trees or other obstructions around the field...so if the Disco requires a long low path to land that could make those fields risky for a landing (hence my earlier question about making minor steering adjustments during an automated landing). 4 - Did you ever consider making the 4G flight mod to give you relatively unlimited flight distance (except for battery limit)? 5 - How does the Disco hold up over time...given that every landing is kind of a crash landing? And must you land it on a grassy field to avoid damage..One the fields I'm thinking of flying from is mostly grass but some small gravel as well and I'm wondering if that would chew up the Disco bottom over time and eventually destroy it? 6 - Would you recommend the Disco? What are the key considerations one should think about before purchasing the Disco (other than price)? Any key downsides to owning the Disco? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks in advance, Jet

[@Helderhugo]

I will read all you said later. I still fly the Disco and I have many Videos to edit including flightplans and 4G flights. I will try to edit them but there are so many Videos to edit and publish the Disco Videos become back in the queue.

[@jetmartin9501]

@@HelderhugoThanks for the reply. Glad to hear you are still flying it and you made the 4G mod. No problem....whenever you get a chance to respond that would be great... Don't know how long that Disco will continue to be available at $400...but I also don't want to buy and then regret decision. Want to go into this with my eyes wide open. Cheers.

[@peter58murray]

just bought a disco this week .....if your after high quality video an pics id advise buying a DJI drone like i also have but if u want average visuals and excellent battery flight time and FUN get a disco....if you fit the multistar 4000 3s battery you get 90mins flight time ...nice

[@Helderhugo]

I have the Disco, Bebop 1, Bebop 2 Power, Yuneek Breeze 4K, Phantom 3 Pro, and Mavic Pro.

[@peter58murray]

Helderhugo nice and your point?

[@furiousangels6222]

@@peter58murray Yet you've never dealt with tuning FPV video antennas, UHF Radio gear, soldering a custom FPV wiring harness? Probably never configured a TRUE R/C Radio Transmitter either? DJI and Parrot allow any dumb joe public to throw £500+ at one of their off the shelf products, that virtually flies itself. You haven't even delved into the R/C Hobby, just like buying a car and not getting your hands dirty in the engine bay!! 🙄

Helderhugo Thanks for the reply. What app do you use when flying?

[@Helderhugo]

Most of the time I use FreeFlight Pro

[@furiousangels6222]

Just like DJI drones, this thing you walk into a superstore and buy off the shelf. No experience with R/C necessary, it flies itself! I've spent about 15 years BUILDING and flying my own FPV Planes and Drones. 15KM flying range!! However Parrot and DJI have ruined the hobby with these off the shelf commercial drones.

[@senseidekkers5618]

Is it possible to control the disco with the original skycontroller?

[@Helderhugo]

I didn't try it but I saw old Parrot videos people controlling Disco with Sycontroller 1

yeah but i believe that was while it was under testing, and before the skycontroller 2 ever existed. Is there any way for you to try?
