This video should have a giant red flashing warning that this WILL seriously harm you if you're not extremely careful and experienced. Not worth the risk for me
@@DrDepth89might should atleast mention how dangerous this actually is if you're gunna take the time to explain what angle mode is 😂 My favorite part was when he hovered that 7inch beast about 2ft infront of his face as if it couldn't give him a life long make over with a simple gusting wind 😮
I wouldn't recommend arming it in ANGLE mode, but if you really have to launch from your hand use RATE mode. Arming with ANGLE turned on will make your drone fight you to stay in a horizontal position. I learned it the hard way and got my finger hurt, good thing my FC turned off immediately, if not it could have broke my finger. I armed the drone and moved my hand a bit, but since it was in ANGLE my drone immediately tried to stay horizontally and then my finger slipped right into the motor. Try toss launch or if you really need hand launch then arm it in RATE and try to not move your hand. Stay safe.
To those saying that this is dangerous, well the solution is to wear a winter glove (not necessarily thick). I once hand landed on a zodiac (yes on the sea), but while trying to catch it my finger got caught in a propeller. I was not cut, my finger was numb 24H. An other solution is to use a chainmail glove to open oysters.
I just switch air mode off and go 0 throttle right before I land. As cool as that looks and helpful...eh I think I'll stick to what works :) not getting my fingers cut off lol
It's easy when you have a battery at the bottom of the drone ,I'm waiting for a video with the 5 inch drone ,especially the hand launch 😉 thank for tutorial 😊
Pre-arm is implemented via an additional aux channel. Betaflight requires the pre-arm aux to be active before it will permit the arm channel to actually arm the quad. This basically provides an additional layer of protection against user error - i.e. the arm switch being active when the pilot thinks it isn't! In this video the pre-arm appears to be on a two-position switch, but I personally prefer to use a momentary switch.
@@rookery_ thank you Being that you hold the quad with the right hand, you must use a left hand momentary switch. Ever have any close calls hand launching?
@@richardruckert7954 Ha, very boring answer: I have pre-arm on right momentary, and arm on left 2-pos. This means both hands are required to arm, providing additional protection, but kinda ruling out hand-launching. It also means I will never look as cool as Parker Sheppard (but I may finish up with a higher finger count!)
Very cool! I think the tough part is removing the goggles from our head. I should try this. Thanks! Also, am I right in Iceland, we don't need a permit?
Not great, what happens if a beginner has put on props in the wrong direction when launching? I would advise against this at all costs. What would come of a fumble of the controller or if the angle mode was not properly calibrated when coming in for a hand catch? (Great video quality and location)
Everyone and I mean EVERYONE, who is interested in hand catching, already has enough flight time experience and realizes the risk and dangers of FPV no matter what you do. I’m so tired of Karen’s requesting red flag warnings for stupid people. Hell every time you fly, you run the risk of hurting others if electronic failure happens to your quad, while flying safely…that’s facts! So by these Karen’s standards, every single FPV flight video should have a red flag warning for stupid people not not attempt FPV flying period. If you fly FPV, you’ve already learned common sense the hard way, before watching this video Great video…Great instructions!! Keep it up, us non Karen’s approve! Whimps, don’t fly FPV

The most epic shoot location for a UA-cam tutorial ever
Bro you don’t know how much this helped me, appreciate it a lot. Also your videos are sick! Thanks a lot.
Hmmm... teaching people that don't know what angle mode is how "easy" it is to fly a flying buzzsaw at yourself line of sight... Is that a good idea?
Can’t protect all the idiots from themselves …

Hi, I'm Parker Sheppard and you're gonna lose a finger today.....
Iceland is on the top of my 2024 travel list!! 🔥🔥

Thanks for this! Hand catching is so practical when you are in difficult terrain! 👏 You just need to make sure you disarm before catching!
Super helpful, I didn’t even know about angle mode. Thanks for the tip!
Enjoy that Iceland trip! Hope to make it there myself sometime soon…just for the FPV views. 👍👍👍

You gotta share those Pids and tune for your quads for the next video. The way you launch your drone out is butter.

That lighting is impeccable lol

Hi thanks for this video
What is the advantage of Pre-arm mode?
Pre-arm is implemented via an additional aux channel. Betaflight requires the pre-arm aux to be active before it will permit the arm channel to actually arm the quad.

Hi Parker, do you think forced taxation is theft?
Very cool! I think the tough part is removing the goggles from our head. I should try this. Thanks! Also, am I right in Iceland, we don't need a permit?
Definitely looks badass haha people always comment how cool/daring it is when hand catching
Hi I got question,
When u hand catch, u said turn on angle mode, but is your airmode still activate ? With means both angle and airmode are turn on ?
Not great, what happens if a beginner has put on props in the wrong direction when launching? I would advise against this at all costs. What would come of a fumble of the controller or if the angle mode was not properly calibrated when coming in for a hand catch?
(Great video quality and location)
I respect the pre-arm acknowledgement though
an easy solution is to never hand launch a maiden flight which i imagine no one who hand launches ever does because its stupid (myself included)
Would be so scared but maybe I will learn it 😅

+1
yeah +2
Step 1: Don't do this shit
Better avoid showing such risky acts. You'll never know what could happen if you hand catch a drone
Yikes
naaahhh not good to show that...
