Better luck next time right?!

[@LarsEchterhoff]

I have been 2019 on an epic once in my life time trip with my 82 years old dad. I did not own a single drone these days. Now I could bring a full bag of them. A single drone aerial shot would certainly not have made my trip better. The hassle with all that expensive, fragile stuff would have take the experience out of my trip. I hope you had a great time with your brother. I did not miss your shots at all.

[@Microscopyenthusiast]

Excellent story of a failed trip!😀 Amazing footage, too! You didn't even need the drone.🤘

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Haha thanks! Thought Id share my journey, wins & failures

[@Milledge.Austin]

I feel like more creators need to share these kinds of videos. We always get to see the epic, successful trips but never these "failures." While you didn't get the FPV footage you wanted, I have to say that the footage you did get from your Sony and whichever traditional drone you used was awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[@Rychus_Music]

All 3 of you brothers look like triplets 😆. I like this video because you still created something even if it didn't go the way you expect it to. Sometimes its not abut having the perfect project, its about enjoying the experience and the little things along the journey. Thanks for sharing.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Hahaa we do share the same parents ;) Thanks man, I always want to share the highs and lows of this channel and how Im learning from it to grow so Im glad you enjoyed it

[@waynewrz]

Great perspective man, thanks for sharing the trip.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Glad you enjoyed it man!

[@CyB3Rk3]

just before the end i was already thinking about the fact that you are having a good time with your brother witch is already great by itself! ❤

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Agreed!

[@chrischadwick1]

Awesome Vlog Teppo. The challenges along the way made for a great story.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thanks Chris! I agree 👍

[@RGMGFitness]

Thanks for sharing Teppo. Appreciate. The fact that your showing the successes and the failures. We’ve all been there and thing don’t always go according to plan. Breathtaking location though in hat last AVATA attempt. That valley looked like a painting someone created in their mind. If it makes you feel any better I lost two FPVs in one trip (and GoPros attached)…yeah, that one stung a little! 🐝 🐝 🐝 😂😂

[@jakubphotography]

Currently in Iceland on a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Day 2 I crashed and lost my Mini 3 Pro. To say I was heartbroken is an understatement. Even though I keep seeing sights that would make AMAZING drone photos, I'm keeping my head up and remembering that I'm on an amazing trip with my wife, and things could certainly be much worse.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Ah man Im so sorry to hear that Jakub. How did you crash it? Wind took over? And totally agree, enjoy it with your wife. You'll have memory dividends for life. Theres always new opportunities to film stuff.

[@flixten3141]

Another one, thanks Teppo!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Your welcome bro!

[@Lua_Films]

So sad, but I hope you can do it again soon. Had the same thing and I felt so bad.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

I will go back!

[@dpaola]

inspiring story man!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thanks!

[@yusufcaglar]

The same kind of problems happened to me when I was in Iceland as well. Constant rain and wind, and once when I tried to touch down my drone, the wind hits and it crashed to ground. I'm glad there wasn't any problems in my drone though. Next time brother.

[@JauneMacReady]

Oh wow, seems like the fates were against you on this trip. But you battled through and took positives from your experiences. And that's what matters. Well done. Liked and subscribed.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thanks! Sure was full of challenges but we made it

[@LivingtheDream710v]

I hate that! ive had that a few time where I get to an epic location and my camera or drone will be dead and not working and its such a bummer!!! I love your optimism, such a great trait and still amazing content!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thanks man!

[@LivingtheDream710v]

@@TeppoHaapoja Absolutley!

[@BelindaFarage]

And now I love the pep talk to yourself - and to us - to not lose sight of what really matters. Love the Haapoja Fam!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thanks Belinda! Love the support.

[@DLivingston]

Its been awhile, ive been busy. Hope all is well with you Teppo and it wasn't a lunch break video for me today but a end of work day video. I still havn't tried a FPV drone but really want to soon and DJI making it easier for us consumer level flyers I am happy to see!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

HA bro! Im honored that I was your end of work day video. I hope your doing well!

[@DLivingston]

Things are all good over here. Finally hit affiliate/partner on here so thats been my focus lately. Found my niche in sports photography and that gave me some great growth to get the requirements!@@TeppoHaapoja

[@FocalPoint-xh6bi]

There are no disappointments when you make a fun and entertaining video like this one. Just unexpected outcomes.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

HA true! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Dadtech.]

That 2nd location looked incredible, sorry you couldnt fly it but hope you enjoyed!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

It was an epic location for sure!

[@martykauffman]

Hey, it’s still look like an epic journey to me you know great Vlog

[@TeppoHaapoja]

It sure was!

[@KenToney]

I tried high precision racing drones in 2016 and they made me nauseous, I couldn’t stand with googles while flying. Wonder if you have tried both and is Avanta as bad? I have Mavic 3 Pro and just ordered mini 4 pro.

[@BelindaFarage]

Oooohhhh without even watching this my first thought was - "oh - just like Matti!" What a great older brother to teach you the meanings of life... 😆🤣

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Haha! Mikko is solid.

[@HiethGeorge]

Defo on my buck list ...... Iceland and maybe fly with you one day too !

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Highly recommend visiting!

[@elisabethfotografie]

i was in Iceland 2-9 oktober and looked everywhere for you... so sad I didn't get to meet you

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Oh too bad! I flew out on the 2nd!

[@revdancatt]

Came for the mini "pity party", stayed for the motivational speech at the end, I think you nailed it.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Hahaha thanks!

[@samleemactechin3795]

So nice experience with Avata ~~ Looks so good !!! Next time . why don;t you come over desert in US ? Let me now if you want haha !! Was nice footage !!! Good Job !

[@DimmyV]

Ahhh FPV life, sometimes goes smooth, sometimes it can be disaster. I would ditch the AVATA though there are far better quads to fly. Good video!

[@KrisLuckPhoto]

I think it's for the better. The Avata has really bad signal around mountains and canyons. Losing line of sight can cause a disconnect

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Haha could be that I saves myself from a treacherous crash

[@TuomoKankaanpaa]

Awesome thumbnail! 💪

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thanks Tuomo!

[@4WheelingSA]

Cool video! Sorry that the FPV shots did not work out. At least you did not crash it 🙂

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Haha true!

[@timovehkaoja]

You could’ve hopped on the Oulu train! 👍🏻

[@TeppoHaapoja]

:D Ill have to one day.

[@user-mc3xh6rt7h]

What DJI said about the issue?

[@TheEpicUnknown..]

Ill go with you next time 😉

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thanks!

[@jonlaidonlie]

when you take a drone to take b-roll of a-roll (from a 2nd drone) - what kind of life is that? 😂

[@TeppoHaapoja]

HA

[@olsu]

Everything was going wrong but still its a good video 🙂👍☕️

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thanks!

[@AlexTene]

5:54 print it and frame it please!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Ha yes sir!

[@Photostoodpro]

If this Channel does not blow up by the end of your, I will be Sad ):

[@TeppoHaapoja]

HAHA slow and steady growth my friend

[@31kaydawg]

Oooof audio, Teppo. Hard to watch. :(

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Wind in Iceland aint on your side 😂
