You have a dream job. Nice video. I can't imagine how the two drones didn't collide with all those close shots. Fragile RC stuff is ushaly a magnet for other fragile RC stuff with its strength proportional to the value of the equipment.
I feel so priveledged having followed you all the way from where you started to what you're achieving now Daniel. Your parent must be super proud. You're going to go a looong long way. :-)
That's typical for business class drones tbh. Especially heavy lift cameraships and geospatial mapping rigs. The best thing to compare this to in the hobbyist space is probably a hugely overpowered X-class.
It looks like they're using counterweights to possibly add some pitch at low RPM. To be honest, it looks like a lot of weight for what is probably very minimally better efficiency. Personally, I'd remove those heads and blades and go with a T-Motor P series prop which will be lighter AND more efficient than those cf reinforced plastic props.
I noticed that too. These guys have nailed the recipe for ultimate smoothness. I am interested in that prop configuration, for those who understand the aerodynamics of propellers in a fixed wing vs helicopter vs multirotor, you will already know that fixed blades are meant to operate perpendicular to the airflow. In multirotor applications where the plane of the propeller operates close to parallel about the airflow, lift across different sections of the propeller will be different causing vibrations and in efficiencies (loss of lift). I think that these guys are using a dynamic system that changes the lead or lag of the propeller to compensate for those said inefficiencies, therefore achieving a higher level of smoothness
For me, they will never be "drones" but "multi-rotors": "quadcopter", "hexacopter", "octocopter"... Sometimes in a morning when i can't wake up, i just think about where i came from and where i am now and that's enough strength for the day :p Have a great week Daniel and keep living the big dream over there!
@@NilesBlackX Absolutely. "Quadcopter" annoys me. I'm pretty sure it's just people who couldn't remember the name properly... It literally stands for "quad-rotor-helicopter". Can't really skip the "rotor" part...
Not since the introduction of Sound to film has there been an innovative earthquake to the industry like drones! This and everything being done with these amazing flying machines are incredible and inspiring. Keep up the great work fellas!
This is an amazing video, enjoyed watching every second of it. Need more stuff like this, real people, mellow vibe, some funny stuff. I’m happy I subscribed mate
its really freaking awsome to see you from building self made prodject rc stuff to full legit serious drone filming and damn those rc drone are freaking bad ass! keep us up to date with that stuff and i hope to see you post some videos from movie takes soon! :D
Loved it!! Watch all your vids but this one got my heart beating faster. Beautiful shots, really great work. And look at all that gear...omg. You could have made this video an hour long and I still wouldn't have been bored. Thanks man!
Great Video! I'd love to see a breakdown of the differences between the alta 8 and the alta X and then also a breakdown of how the prop heads of the alta X work.
WOW, you guys know how to do it!! That shot at 10:02 was AMAZING. Keep up the great videos. Im trying to grow my drone channel and love seeing great content that will help me! Thanks
That is big! Expensive though. I would say the Hybrix.20 is better considering the price and flight time of 4 hrs but who knows? I know little about this drone anyways.
That drone is awesome. But you have to have titanium reinforced carbon fiber balls to fly that much camera equipment under a quad rotor. What happens when this thing looses a prop or motor or battery? Can it fly on 3 motors and land? Or did you just watch your Red camera just accelerate towards earth at 9.8m/s/s?
2:40 Holding a 360 cam while being pushed on a handcart past a dude with a stabilized cinema camera on a Freefly Movi Ring (or something like it) riding on a segway has such @shittyrigs vibes lmao
Did you actually watch the video? They are flying with two pilots! One flying the quad-copter in LOS and the other one operating the gimbal camera with a screen, it means they don't do long range so why would they need crossfire for that?
@@blackmennewstyle I would use it for peace of mind on a piece of equipment that probably cost $100,000 flying over water. I'm sure it has plenty of reduncy but coming from Spektrum to XFIRE it has changed my self confidence in every and all situations.
@@blackmennewstyle Yeah you are right man only dumb people would ask such a stupid question it is obvious when you think about it, at least you aren't as dumb as other dumb people. You are however a douche.
Scary close to people. My measly 7" makes me very nervous. I would want to be way way away from those drones. I can fly drones and I have had a few accidents over the years to know your discipline has to be top notch not to get caught out.
well i have the Alta 6 although its an older but i cant even fly or get any info how to cause i think the remote that came with it is set up weird but im not use to this type of setup at all, what a mistake on my part i should stick to to my m600, but if anyone nears nyc knows what to do with this please let me know if yo can help so far i flew once it came right back to ground with a little bit of damages
I know that this is a very, very sophisticated drone. There's no question about that. However I'm surprised that there's only four rotors. With something like this I'd expect there to be more than four, as a redundancy in case a critical malfunction were to take place.

Yeeeeah.. starts at $16'000.- so it's not gonna replace my Mavic 2 Pro soon =(
Looks like an amazing machine! Congrats!

Thats actually not too bad...cheeper than the alta 8 right?
the camera (and lens!!!) it's carrying co$t way more ;-)
I'd really like to see a technical breakdown on how the rotor head system works.
Looks like a 45 degree fixed pitch helicopter head. I suspect they did it to allow blade feathering to reduce vibration.
@@prototype3a the tech specs indicate it's an active system.
It looks like they're using counterweights to possibly add some pitch at low RPM.
To be honest, it looks like a lot of weight for what is probably very minimally better efficiency. Personally, I'd remove those heads and blades and go with a T-Motor P series prop which will be lighter AND more efficient than those cf reinforced plastic props.
Don't like these heads. I believe a fixed prop setup is more efficient.

Can't wait for the video of Freefly Systems' boss reacting to the influx of "drone tester" job applications
Most people: Yo I got a professional drone! A phantom 4!
These Dudes: ALTA X
DJI produces almost only consumer drones. All professionals are laughing about their stuff.
@@sandrowiedner i think professional custom built for purpose is what maxhousen was trying to say
I love this channel! Can't wait for more solar plane videos. :)
@shinukism shnuck And lighter 18650 lions
one word: Beautiful
This is like the highest form of camera/engineering porn
I wish every product release had a behind the scenes. This is so much fun to watch

Agreed. Every time I hear "drone" I think of those UAV's that the military is working on to shoot at people from the sky...
Remember when they were called "quadROcopters"? Crazy how fast things changed

You guys hooked up with the right Canadian film company. My favourite team right there, great job!!!
Dude, solar plane, AltaX. Wow, just wow!
You have the best job in the world my friend
Perfect!!! Thank you guys!

Not sure if that Alta X is a drone or a gang of robotic samurai waiting to mince the unwary into hamburger while filming it in 8K.
Wow, that was AWESOME!
Not a bad price at all for what you get. Damn.
Loved it!! Watch all your vids but this one got my heart beating faster. Beautiful shots, really great work. And look at all that gear...omg. You could have made this video an hour long and I still wouldn't have been bored. Thanks man!
BEASTLY !
Wow, nice to see teetering rotor heads on multi-rotors now. Let's you know the folks working on these UAVs know their stuff. Keep the videos coming.
Holy that video looks professional
One hell of a product! Looking great, I hope your company is and will do great. Keep up the good work 💪
Great Video! I'd love to see a breakdown of the differences between the alta 8 and the alta X and then also a breakdown of how the prop heads of the alta X work.
This video's quality is AMAZING. Such a great vid :)
Can I fly it in the house? :-D ... I'll use prop guards ...
LMFAO
WOW what an amazing high quality video!!!!
Filming a drone filming a drone filming. Well played Sir
People on a boat filming a drone that's filming a drone that's actually filming more or less random stuff... Inception!
That’s sick, I’m happy for you Daniel. Keep making videos.
You certainly have a larger than average drone their. Amazing.
watched the other two videos...awesome and cool i must say
Those are amazing, I'll take a dozen.
Excellent design! Awesome!
So majestic!
Outstanding!
WOW, you guys know how to do it!! That shot at 10:02 was AMAZING. Keep up the great videos. Im trying to grow my drone channel and love seeing great content that will help me! Thanks
Those giants black drones are superb machines
That was awesome!
Amazing culmination of technology.

Dude… cool video guys!🎉
so cool!
That looks like one of the funnest jobs in the world. Not going to lie.
Slow clap. Can't wait to see the X in action.
Glad to see another Cube platform. Any weather resistance on this bad boy?
Was cool to see you came over here. Saw posts of your group testing them out a few days ago.
Wow.......bravo!
Well done
Galera que energia boa.
Muito bom
Parabéns
Show
Abraço
Wow, that was amazing !!
Curious - was CGI considered instead of a studio shoot? What were the relative benefits for each for you?
Damn you guys are good!
wow! that is dope!
British Columbia Canada The most beautiful place on earth !!!!
Yo, you work with some super cool tech. What kind of qualifications are companies like this look for?
Where was this shot? Stunning locale.
What's the flight time like for a relatively light payload such as 3kg?
are the motors a higher kv to increase stability at lower battery voltages? hi btw buddy long time no talk to=)
4:33 has no reason to be so good looking. wtf. like. *All hail GREATEST B-ROLL CLIP OF ALL TIME* xD
Tbh, most all these shots are gorgeous. That first breakfast one just surprised me, and took the cake.
You should try to get in contact with the Slo mo guys and see if they want to put their cameras under your drones
Magnifique 💪💪💪💪
That is big! Expensive though. I would say the Hybrix.20 is better considering the price and flight time of 4 hrs but who knows? I know little about this drone anyways.
I am quite surprised that it's a quad. How is reliability assured with non-redunant motors?
Do these use some form of a pixhawk as a flight controller?
Awesome!

Drone enthusiasts: how much does it cost?
Alta: yes
Looking forward for new solar missions!
Is that the Porsche Cayenne camera car Doug Demurov reviewed?
So this is relying on a futaba link?.... Why not XFIRE?

Looks like you guys we’re up in Squamish on your way to Whistler yeah I like my little home my neck of the woods lol
No APAS , obstacle avoidance or air sense like the matrice?
do you have any issues with dust kicking up onto the lenses on takeoffs and landings?
Oooooooh that power boost right after 0:42
Very niiiiice
Mind-blowing - any jobs going?
Those drones & camera gear cost more than most cars, and they're flying them right over open water... gives me the willies.

ALTA X freestyle FPV video when?
Dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Do an episode with those quads!
If you've ever flown in gta is there a way to put triggers on a radio for rudder control and for throttle so one stick is free for pan tilt cam
What live video system does it have? Or how does it work?
Scary close to people. My measly 7" makes me very nervous. I would want to be way way away from those drones. I can fly drones and I have had a few accidents over the years to know your discipline has to be top notch not to get caught out.
Love this channel! Love the music too. I've been able to Shazam all the songs except the one around 11:25. Anyone have an idea who it could be?
Could you share the results you found for the other tracks? I haven't any luck on my own. :(
the chase scene was called DROMANCE

You are Canadian? I had thought you were from us.
Vancouver is also a city in Washington State, just across from Portland, OR

Wow it's sooo quiet!!
What is the intro being filmed with its trippy and also wonderful
Dane Kouttron I believe it’s the Insta360 OneX
360 degree camera, you can see it in the reflection on the ground
where can i buy the cool drone?
It's always annoyed me, how drone lights are all put on wrong. Red is supposed to be left and green is supposed to be right.
Dream job is to go out there and collect data. Nightmare job is processing all the footages for UA-cam.
