I messaged joshbardwell a couple years ago saying he should do this he scoughed at the idea you are my new hero.

[@fpvdominator9563]

didnt mr steele do this with an old phantom years ago

[@idiotsnifff]

Bardwell is a liberal

[@CryoiX]

Hmm I could only imagine how terrifying the DJI Matrice 600 Pro would be as a high speed fpv drone

[@MakoFPV]

thats called a cinelifter and they are pretty terrifying

[@CryoiX]

Lol how about the new ravn X as a high speed fpv uav

The original phantom had an acronmode

[@adrianjosecortidor5835]

this video is criminally underrated

[@allenrusselljr]

Your video has inspired me to buy a drone and get my 7 year old autistic son into the hobby. I was shocked at how quickly he grasped it. We've now moved up to slightly better (still cheap) drones 4 times. The latest just arrived today. The 3 previous drones each need a part or two so im thinking of making a Frankenstein one out of them. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

[@RCwithAdam1]

That's great to hear! Thank you!

[@gypsyman1939]

To all you guys who can take these things a part and upgrade everything out it back together my hats off to you guys. One thing in this world I can’t do and am lost completely is electronics. I can do anything else but never was around people playing with electronics I’m my life.

[@larryg2705]

Probably because electronics people are typically loners lol

[@PixelSheep]

@@larryg2705 wtf - dont be like that man

[@Don-ly6ls]

Imagine it's your first time showing up in a local fpv group fly day and you bust out your mini 2 and it can do this lol

[@proto.type_io]

Now it's time to mount the Mavic gimbal on the custom-built racing drone!

[@FalconRadFPV]

Well that's my first time seeing a mavik do a power loop! haha...

[@RCwithAdam1]

Hey FalconRad! Thanks for stopping by. Love your videos! You've been a big inspiration for my long (for me) range endeavors. 👍

[@parker73724]

Is it stupid? Yes. Is it cool? Hell yeah.

[@dronepilot260rc]

And so it was, the New DJI FPV 2 was born 😂

[@RCwithAdam1]

hehehe😉

[@kevkevdellarocco8681]

This is three levels of comedy genius from concept to filming! Dangit now I want one too!

[@AndreasMake]

Cool to see. It looks like a lot of work for changing the Fpv shell to a non Fpv shell. Great soldering though. 😀

[@RCwithAdam1]

Yes, totally impractical! Thanks!

[@lambo_drives]

3:36 race stance take off - sweet. 5:33 what a perfect leaning pole ✌🏻

[@ChrisParayno]

If you slap a DJI o3 air unit that could still pivot, this maybe worth it! Great stuff.

[@RCwithAdam1]

Thanks! That's something to consider!

[@Snowleopard556]

Some American drone company should hire this man.👏👏👏

[@tyranasazi3818]

0:24 I was like meh and was about to channel flip to something else but this comedy scene of the MA2 saying "I want you to turn me into something speeecial" - that killed me and I had to watch the video to the end. Well done

[@johnk8825]

Well done Dr. FrankenQuad

[@KongGig]

I remember when the Mavic air 2 was released, of which you got a lot of value for its cost. That is, a drone which allows you to film in 4k 60 frame, have a 12meg camera, good battery time, good fly distance, avoid system, and some other feature. All at the price of $890-$1300(Combo) And today you can buy the combo kit for 500$, which is significantly lower price than Mini 3 while at the same time offer about the same spec. :D

[@jonathanj.3695]

When you're into drone racing but your parents gave you a DJI for your birthday:

[@JEDALAMENE]

Obstacle avoidance left the game

[@ChrisRiley3D-Everything]

I did that exact thing 3 years ago to a MJX Bugs 2 and a Bugs 3 it's very easy to do but hard to make as stable as a real accro quad unless you swap out the stock motors for more powerful ones with higher kv but it will work. i even kept the stock bugs esc's and ran 4S lipo on it with stock 1806 motors with low kv and put normal 5in acro props on it. got plenty of videos on it.

[@RCwithAdam1]

Yes, the standard motors and props really have a hard time keeping up.

[@elpocho0]

how can i do it to a bugs 6?

[@k1ortia]

I remember steele did this with an old Phantom drone. Proper sleeper build.

[@enriquemp3424]

it's beautiful, it's simply beautiful

[@SapientFilms7]

Extremely impressive!

[@justso1823]

It's nice that you can just sell the old parts to become a free project

[@psyberpirate]

He really thought he did something with this one...and he ABSOLUTELY DID!

[@madman216fpv]

Funny...I was thinking some way of transferring the DJI FPV pieces and guts into a 5 or 7 inch carbon fiber fpv frame....this here is magic, though. Good stuff!

[@giorgiberuchashvili3488]

Dude really did something special

[@thnn-n]

your gonna have to teach me how to do this, I’ve always loved freestyle drones

[@FPVslayer]

It remember watching Steele turn a phantom into a full acro stunt drone 😂 this was equally awesome!!!

[@mannyarellano555]

I'm a little jealous!

[@kugai7194]

Mavic finally got freedom

[@takescake]

I respect the amount of hot glue needed

[@ILLBEDRONED]

You can tune them bobbles out 😂 Great job, AWESOMENESS!! 👊👍

[@GideonDronography]

It feels illegal to see the inside of a DJI drone😂😂😂. Really cool video

[@pdtech4524]

YeeeeeeHaaaaaa!!! Got to luv me some redneck drone action, while I sip on my home brewed moonshine! Keeo up the great videos, I've added your channel to keep up with your adventures... Hopefully you'll connect with another drone pilot?👍

[@RCwithAdam1]

Thank you! And pass me some!

[@kushshanware4873]

I think you can do some modifications and some upgrading software to do increase speed and disable safety features

[@1234kdy]

Ahh I was hoping with the custom circuit board print you would port the gimbal functionality which saying it I realize isn't going to work in a fpv flight but also the gps RTH and the other fancy features from dji to a FPV flight mode. I guess next is just stuff the avata guts inside the mavic and then you have 1 directional gimbal for in flight angle adjustment.

[@kakafpv]

This is crazy rebuild 😂

[@john-martin]

It's awesome seeing a collapsible FPV, those hinges right now 😂 😂

[@barend63]

Isn't this more of a 3rdPV? Really cool!

I would say the best about this thing is not that it is stealt but that it can fold 😮 😊 i want a detailed tutorial that i can copy this build 🙏

If I flew my drone like that, my neck will be red too ha ha ha thank you for the video

OK so I guess you need to refine and build brother 😂 I want one. Awesome job👍

"It works..." 3 seconds later "Ouch!"

As a redneck engineer I can approve

[@RCwithAdam1]

👍

[@jdavidnorena]

This video makes me feel sad, I should have done this before buying the FPV drone :( Amazing video !

[@reuven2267]

You are better off with a separate FPV because the DJI camera is expensive

[@GilbertoPerera]

How are you getting that camera view from behind the drone? When it took off there wasn't a camera attached to the back... Thanks for posting.

[@AkornFPV]

It's great seeing you transform this unfortunate junk into an awesome quad! You earned a like!

[@williaml-we3oz]

this is great

You made and FPV drone out of a Mavic Air 2. Because you could. Nice.

You know it!

Yk what dude. i got a broken phantom 2 frame hanging around (internals are dead. not the frame) And you made me wanna do one of these now.

Awesome

Good thing this is such a simple hack. Only takes 5 minutes. 😂😂

[@TattedTommysTv]

Legend of our time lol so dope I gotta few mavics in the closet and I'm a FPV newb in Dallas you giving me some ideas lol I actually ruined like two mavic minis 2 and 3 cause I tried deleting the camera systems and it kept them from flying now lol

[@JPspinFPV]

So you made an Air2 into a sub-par FPV quad? I'm not terribly impressed. If you had pulled this off maintaining all of the stabilization features and gimbal... That would be noteworthy. Hell, I can take a chunk of a rotten pallet and make it fly. Where do you think the term deadcat came from?

[@inspirasiforexgood]

Cool.....

[@jahhshvillegas]

lmaooo this is fire

[@Masc-v1]

Buena idea broh, solo ten cuidado , no vayan a querer poner una demand dji por modificar su dron😊

[@Flyit37075]

could keep the DJI Mavic 3 camera system and insert a traditional Nazgal iflight FPV build in the body , I would buy that all day.

[@gigazman]

What about the flight time? Is it similar to normal fpv drone (3 or 4mn) or like dji mini drone (18mn)?
