@@dreadowen616 What makes you say that? Do you happen to know that he is independently wealthy? He's currently sitting at about 51.5K subs. That's not big money. You can't pay two people off of that. I remember years ago I calculated that I would need about 50K subs (back when I had a channel under a different name) to be able to quit my job and just cover my basic expenses. This video blew up, so I checked Social Blade and he has received more than half of those subs since posting this (27.7K). So unless you know his personal story, I don't think there is any way you can tell if he was able to hire someone to do all of this for him. The fact that he plays piano and programs drones tells me he's a jack of all trades, so I wouldn't be surprised if he edited everything himself as well.

for tracking instead of opting for camera tracking I think you should use a proximity sensor with a transimitter and a reciver. It would be cool if you made a hat that had a sensor in it. And when you wear the cap the two sensors will communicate the distance away from the top of you head and the umbrella. Then the umbrella would stay locked at a offset of around 2 ft from the top of your head. I feel like it would be a cheaper and more accurate way of tracking.

Tip 1: rather than a camera, you already added a gps, why not link it to a wearable signal device and program it to always stay a certain distance directly above it. (A camera would waste more battery, mistake other people for you, etc. But a locator would keep it above you specifically.) Tip 2: best not to wrap your device in plastic wrap, or you may burn out your device. It is better to either leave as is or make a protective shield if you are worried about it and add a fan to keep it cool.

Some ideas to improve the design: - longer arms angled down to reduce spray from propellers when it’s raining - using conformal coating to protect electronics and help with heat dissipation - tether wire with small pack for battery to allow longer flight - weather alerts with cellular data, automatic deployment. Cool idea! Nice work! ❤

A wire can also snag onto objects, though this would be somewhat rare since something would have to touch the wire, but is a consideration. I think a drone improvement could be having some sort of Bluetooth device to wear on the ear (or just use one’s phone) that the umbrella drone would try to hover some set distance above.

I think a Bluetooth connected beacon would be a lot more accurate/responsive. You could add 2 transmitters to extremities of the umbrella to allow triangulation of the signal. As a poster below says, this can be done with a mobile phone although I don't know any off-the-shelf software to do it. You would configure the device to hover a set distance above the phone which sits in you pocket. Edit: Thinking a bit more about it and would be better to do the whole thing "passive" using 2 receivers to process the phones Bluetooth signal for triangulation on the umbrella itself. No need for an App, just a Bluetooth connection to the umbrella.

Damn it, well played Sir. I had this idea in 2015 when walking across the road from my workplace to a cafe while it was raining. I had the idea that you could probably replace the concept of umbrellas if companies and city councils pooled money to create "follow me drones" at each intersection, during high traffic, they could create a temporary shelter across the whole pedestrian crossing and then go back to charge, you would ideally have multiple batches so that they'd have enough time to recover after running for a minute or two straight

Wow.. a very talented young man. You master a lot of skills. It's so admiring and inspiring.
Good stuff! The quad looks great!
For a simpler approach to make it follow you, you could try using some sort of a physical tether that nudges it in whatever direction you're walking. Initially you could try something like a cord attached to a strain gauge, but perhaps a simpler mechanism could be in the form of a rigid attachment, which would also help to stabilize it vertically in the event that it runs short on power. Seriously though, this was a neat project and it's nice to see someone do something like this for real.
Great work, looking forward to the autonomous version. After all the entire point of a flying umbrella is that you don't have to hold it, but here you have to hold the controller instead, and probably with two hands, so it's actually worse than a normal umbrella haha. Subscribed.

I thought about this concept when I was like 17 (now 31) and I swear I thought we would've had this by 2023. You my friend, are a genius. I full sketched up my designs too. Mine was a little elloborate, included a pen like device to clip on to you as a reciever for the drone, but the drone umbrella itself, was cased in a ball that would would activate when you throw it up on the air, and from the sides of the ball itself, an extension would pop out and spread out the umbrella itself.

Nice job with editing and story telling. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
The best use case is when you can control it with your mobile phone or a small chip that sticks on your pocket or shirt, without carrying an extra bulky remote controller which is equal to holding the umbrella stick altogether.
Great video! Wow. I was quite surprised by this channel. Very good filmmaking and engineering skills. I think your channel has a really good future ahead of it. Keep on creating!

Above everything I'm in love with the mirror scene shooting ❤ so smooth 1:37
Imagine putting a sensor or camera to read the top of your head so it will automatically follow you. Program it to hover with the exact height you need for the umbrella to cover the top of your head. The only time you will control it remotely is when the umbrella should be on top of your head. That would be a cool idea to add.
Hey first time watching your videos and wanted to just say I'm so happy I came across it! Not even getting to the actual engineering, but I really enjoyed the effort put into the film making especially the storyline - from the beginning with the explanation of history of umbrellas, time-lapse panning with the attention to the layover audio sketching audio, really gave it a higher production quality feel, to the clear explanations with how lift/thrust works with the example, to the inserted humor with the simple vs complicated design (I personally would suggest that the music gets cut off a bit later and the audience has a bit more time to process, I think the timing was just slightly to abrupt - but it's just my humble opinion!) I'm only 1/5 way in but I was so impressed by ur beautiful narration and the hard work u put in that I just had to stop and write a comment... I usually write a comment like this once every few years haha Please keep up the great work! You just earned urself another subscriber :)

the edit at like 5:30 was great lmao, made me flinch in shock. bro i hope u get millions from youtube. also, as for the camera, maybe it would be easier to attach some kind of gps so it just follows the remote? camera may not work too well in the dark and also im guessing you'd have to use some sort of neural network to actually check if the umbrella is following the right person and so on (which i guess would require a revamp of the electronics you're using, including the chip). also if there is a lot of wind, maybe having a handle that can drop down optionally to switch modes may be nice.
This is amazing. Absolutely loved the filmmaking and your engineering. but I have seen umbrellas that you can kind of wear them as a crown on head and those are great at tracking you where ever you go!😗

Thanks!!
That print edit was clean guy
I cannot believe this channel is only at 22k subscribers and this video is only at 3k views. This deserves way more attention. Awesome work and keep innovating! I don't know enough to have suggestions but I'll be subscribing and watching more of your videos!

The DIY drone subreddit has 42,906 readers, people make their own drones all the time - this guy just made a hole for a sawn off umbrella and a video. The build is nothing special. His real talent is storytelling and video editing.
perhap you can wear some kind of transmitter band over your head and a reciever on the drone so that the drone track the transmitter on you head and corrects its position right over your head. in short a non rc floating umbrella
Good job!In Japan, a drone umbrella was developed in 2018, but it probably wasn't released due to legal issues.
Great job. Look forward to your next posts.
