Hi I'm Jason and I am from God's country in the heart of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I'm a new part 107 drone operator and I thought it would be fun to take videos on my travels, edit them, then share them with the world. I truly hope you enjoy the content as much as I enjoy making it, and if you do, subscribe as I will be uploading as often as possible, thank you for visiting my channel!

Have safe trip out there thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Betty!
Sorry I missed your live,watching replay now
Thank you very much!
This is great! I like the way you walk us through the steps, setting up the controller, where to find things in the goggles, etc. And then give a very realistic demonstration of what it takes to get manual mode down! I haven't flipped the switch yet... I caught a bit of your live stream a few weeks ago, talking about negative comments. I thought you did a great job 👍👍
Thank you Tammie Jean! I flew again to practice today and I tried low flying and even hovering in manual mode and it's tricky! However I feel if I can have that much control flying it I can do anything! Thank you for your kind words!
Just wanted to apologize for my last comment posted on your video they other day, my brain got carried away. Again I apologize. I pray that the reefs go quadruple this year. So many needed.
No need to apologize. I'm always happy to have you there, and it couldn't have been too crazy because I wasn't offended during the live. But thank you
Watching now!
Thank you Sir
I do a lot of flying over water and my Avata 2 is the first FPV drone I've used. After watching this video, I think I'll stick to the motion controller and slower Normal/Sport modes for a few more months (years?!). :)
LMAO if you watch some of my practice flights after this I'm getting better. It's all about practice! Thank you my friend
Very cool video Jason and wished we could have attended once again. Have a wonderful rest of your week.(Steve)
Thank you very much Steve, always next year!
@@JJDrones Your very welcome and yes indeed.
Very nice video of the State TDC !!!!
Thank you very much Chris!
What a great comparison video Jason. I did think that manual mode would have given you a bit more flying time but it did give you more than a typical FPV drone 💪👍 21:40
Thank you brother!
I replaced the stock stickers to longer ones from Amazon. I also use pitch method. It's a game changer. I fly much better now in manual mode.
Thank you so much I'll look into them!
Damaged drone. Damaged drone. Keep buying that insurance! LOL Sorry about the SD card I hate losing footage too!
It's kind of a pain because GoPro won't send the replacement until I send back the broken one, but it can wait lol. Thank you Scott
awesome job, Jason... I wasn't expecting the speed difference to be so much... 60 mph? that's crazy fast...
It's crazy how fast it goes. I don't think I'm ready for low flying speeds like that yet, but it's a ton of fun high up in the air away from obstacles lol. Thanks brother
Amazing!! How many hours do you practice? I tried sometime, but every single flight was a crash. 😂😂
I fly 3 batteries every chance I get my friend. You'll get there!
Very nice give
Thank you
Lol great video man.
Thank you very much AJ!
I was mowing grass ….
Lol well I was in the hot sun walking miles and miles and it was a great day for a competition. Getting ready for the awards banquet
Sorry we missed it this year! - Jenny
No problem. I was walking all over the place as always lol
@@JJDrones oh lol. Sorry to hear about your GoPro
That was a sweet save on the phone bro and it stinks about loosing the GoPro footage. That would have been one epic video.
Thank you bro. I'm glad I didn't have to replace a phone too lol
Great comparison video Jason. The scenery, even though it was a rest area was awesome. (Big proponent of big clouds, lol) Well done.
Thank you very much Scott!
LOL, this is the funniest FPV video on youtube :)
Thank you very much I'm glad you enjoyed it!
My guess (before watching the whole video), is that sport mode will be a bit longer than manual mode, but it I think it will also depend somewhat on how you fly. If you fly both just doing smooth flight, I think the times will be pretty close. But if you're doing deeper-banked turns or anything more aggressive in manual mode, I expect the times will be significantly lower.
Very well guessed my friend!
Very well guessed my friend!
Nicely done JJ - my flight times are around 8-12 minutes in full manual and 10-15 minutes in Sport. I have reached 18 minutes in normal in light winds. The wind speeds massively impact the flight times. One way to overcome that is to fly lower as the wind is obviously faster the higher you fly. Also - taking off in manual is fine - just apply a lot of throttle to get airborne then take flight. If you are too light on the throttle the drone will literally bounce on the floor so just push it! However, I would never suggest trying to land in manual - hovering an FPV drone in manual is the hardest thing you can do with any drone. Even experienced, professional FPV pilots use hand catch landings. The drone will literally land moving and tilted and you will just crash. Always switch to normal to land.
Nicely done brother, I'm very glad that you told me that otherwise there'd be s video of JJDrones loses a digit lol. You are truly a wealth of knowledge and I'm glad you found my channel!
@@JJDrones You're welcome mate - you've already come so far and inspired me to get into full manual flying of the Avata 2. It just gets better the more we practice. Also if you want to keep the horizon steady and level as you turn, gently move the left and right sticks together at the same time. It's called combined turning whereby the roll off sets the yaw. It's tricky at first but just remember that you only need to do micro adjustments to those sticks and the drone will be straight and level as you move left/right. Just keep an eye on the altitude. This manual flying is not easy lol
you hide monitoring all time .. pfff
I like to show the beautiful drone footage
I just watched the video. Some amazing footage and data presented. Thanks for educating us all once again.
Thank you for watching brother, I am glad I was able to educate without crashing for a change. Don't expect it going forward
two for one views and it was beautiful. I am looking in getting the DJI Mavic Pro
Thank you Dave and that would be a great choice!
What a cool flight and timing, a rainbow and all! The clouds and antelope were also cool to view! She was moving, pretty impressive! (Dave).
Thank you very much Dave, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Guess: manual will be slightly longer, but sport covers more ground for almost the same time. /Edit. LOL mixed up what mode was what, just reverse my guess. Although manual was Much shorter than expected.
Thank you for participating in the guessing game! Yeah I was shocked how short the flight was as well but the elevation could've played a factor as well
Did the second drop occur in normal mode?
No it was in manual mode
- first practice in simulator in ACRO mode! - then get really good at flying fast and moving around objects in sport mode, speed limited to about 65 km/h with some wind in the back but that's already fun flying low to the ground. - while practicing sport mode and simulator, press that pause button all the time so it becomes muscle memory. This pause button if you get that in muscle memory will save you hunders of dollars of repair costs. Unlike a normal quad, you break this thing, it's over. Only DJI can repair it. - if you fly simulator then you will quickly realize how important the camera angle is. If you want to fly forward the quad has to pitch down, but now you are looking at the ground. So to fly forward while still having the horizon in the middle you need to pitch the camera up. - So extremely important that the camera angle of the avata has some UP ANGLE before you go in to manual. Otherwise while flying forward you are also flying down. In sport mode this is totally different. In sport mode you fly with 20 or 25 DOWN angle. So if you are use to 20 to 25% down angle and then switch to manual YOU ARE GOING TO CRASH. Unless you got that pause button in muscle memory. - When you are ready to switch to manual you keep the BANK LIMITED ENABLED IN THE BEGINNING. YOUR FIRST JOB IN MANUAL IS TROTTLE MANAGEMENT. - Finally when you have some time in simulator, when pressing that pauze button comes automatically, when you have flown in manual with correct up angle and banks limits on. Then is the time to take the bank limits off. Come on guys, do it the right way. Safe you money and time not being able to fly.
Thanks for the tips, I really do meant it, but I do things the way I do them because it's how I learn. Thank you for watching!
@@JJDrones Ofcourse man, everybody learns the way they learn. I posted this for people watching your video. Not everybody can afford to risk crashing something so expensive so many times in a row.
Seasoned FPV pilot here! I couldn’t agree more with your comment. CAMERA ANGLE IS EVERYTHING. Down angle in any quad is asking for disaster. SIM practice is a MUST. I have near 200 hrs in sims and about 100 in flights. Luckily we have access to such tools which we didn’t have in 2014. Keep practicing and don’t give up! FPV is great!
That's it. The next camera equipment i will get will be a drone. Between you, DroningVeteran, on location with Sott, and Dave Stredulinsky you all is getting me hook on drones
That's the nicest compliment you could've done Dave, thank you
I’m so happy that Paul was able to make the great escape to freedom 🎇🎆🇺🇸
God help Texas 😂
Awesome livestream Jason. 👍 It was really nice to meet Steve. I hope he will be back on 😎
Thank you brother, I hope he will be too
Lovely views on your impressive practice flying with the Avata 2 in this beautiful area in Northern California on a nice looking day. I enjoyed in full to the end. Thank you, my friend. 3:55
Thank you so much I appreciate you watching!
Thank you, you are so kind.
You as very welcome Charles
Great stream Jason. Loved the discussion about the safety of flying. 8 crashes on that drone it's a good thing you have refresh! LOL. Glad you kept your shirt on. (no offense) 😂 Sorry I missed the stream I'm all caught up now. Have a great weekend!
You're so awesome Scott, thank you so much for watching! I do truly appreciate it
Nice flight Jason...you almost have the flip working perfectly.
Yes Sir, I just need to keep my practice up and I'll get there!
Love the shameless plugs! It worked on me! LOL .. Looks like you guys had a blast!
Thank you Scott, I think next we'll have to do obvious product marketing as well lol. Glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool and enjoyable video as always Jason. Have a wonderful upcoming weekend.(Steve)
Thank you very much Steve, I hope you guys have a great weekend too
@@JJDrones you're welcome
That’s the way to do it ! Nice and slow ! Then start flying low and faster 😊
Thank you very much my friend
