    I'm a Motorcycle Instructor.... Carrie (sp?)... PLEASE don't put your foot down like that when taking a turn on pavement!! It's fine on dirt with proper motocross boots, but I've seen students do that and get a VERY nasty broken leg when their foot caught on the pavement!! Gene... that was a classic 'front brake grab'! Also, ALWAYS wear boots over your ankle (boots are a part of "ALL the gear, All the time") and you won't lose your shoe in a crash. The fact you've lost your shoe in BOTH accidents should be a good hint! LOVE the channel, guys!!

    Peak design everyday backpack 30L
    It's one of the best camera bag I have used.
    Their clips and straps are great too.
    I pack the backpack with
    Mbp15, charger
    A7R2,
    50 prime, 16-35, 70-200. 2 flash, all the chargers, and batteries and other accessories and have space to spare.
    It also has tripod straps and a drone strap if you carry a full-size phantom

    I can't wait to see the Potato Jet camera bag! Green and red pouches for batteries is a great idea. My setup has grown to the size of a decent sized pelican so a larger backpack designed for today's run-and-gun lifestyle would be awesome. Put me down for 2 PJ bags.

    Great video! Anything made by Thinktank. They have plenty of designs to fit whatever you need. I have had one of my Thinktank roller bags for 12 years. It's been all over the world with me and used on well over 250 weddings. I have backpacks that are almost 10 years. Tough as nails, yet comfortable to wear and very protective to your gear.

    I am looking to get a Mavic 2 Pro this week. Question for experienced drone owners: how common are accidents/crashes and do you purchase drone insurance?

  • @RGMGFitness
    @RGMGFitness 6 років тому +15

    Great video. Also, looking at DJI's website they state; "..Obstacle sensing is NOT available during high-speed tracking". Not sure I like the sound of that. They also state; "...DJI warranty does not cover any loss caused by crashing when flying left or right, even when ActiveTrack or Tripod mode is activated. Please be aware of your surroundings and App notifications when operating the Mavic 2 to ensure safety.". Hmmm...So, not sure what is covered. Leaves me wondering.....

    I use the Manfrotto advanced travel backpack. I have traveled with it to a few different countries and it holds everything nicely. It also fits under the seat on a plane so you can still keep a carry on luggage with you. It’s definitely worth checking out.

    You have to admit unintentionally active track gives it a great point of view & rules of third on those objects that it could have hit you get that ghost glide that you see in the film industry when they pan & track on the object while having keen details on espicific objects in order to make the viewer feel as if he himself is flying as a ghost getting all the angles

    Lowepro protactic 450aw is what I've got, fits exactly the same gear you showed there plus some. Has a great system for attaching gear to the exterior, I usually have my glidecam and a tripod with fluid head buckled in no problem, plus a water bottle on the side. But there is also a smaller version if that suits you more. Only minor downside is the price point

  • @venom5809
    @venom5809 6 років тому

    To be honest I looked at a lot of bags, almost bought a Peak Design but passed due to the fact you can't lock it. I ended up getting a good deal on a $50 Case Logic DCB-309 camera backpack and honestly it's been great, taken it all over the country and overseas and still looks new and does everything I need. It's not waterproof but it has a built-in rain cover so that covers that. There's also an SLRC-206 one too that is probably a little better but I'm happy with mine.

  • @ArizonaWyldwest10
    @ArizonaWyldwest10 4 роки тому

    I use active track while riding my Honda Crf250L dual sport motorcycle off-road. It’s a Forest area that is mostly open where I fly it with bushes and smaller trees. Nothing really fast or extreme but it works great. I Just set it up high enough to clear any bushes and close enough to me to get a good video. About 30 feet in altitude and about 20 feet behind me. Speed ranges from about 5 to 35 mph usually. Usually the Active track doesn’t lose me even when I speed up quick. It just picks up speed and catches up then slows down very smoothly. It is a Mavic Air 2. I like seeing other videos of Active Track working while following vehicles. It gives me ideas and helps with any concerns I may have for future flights. Enjoy.

  • @3ATIVE
    @3ATIVE 6 років тому

    With regard to the tripod mount, on the bag: Ya don't put the whole tripod down trough the strap and fit one leg in the bottom. You simply put the head up through the strap far enough to then pull it down so the one leg seats in the bottom pouch.

      good to know....outside of North American these drones do not perform as well...they automatically kick down into a lower power mode and we run into tons of signal issues, lost signals, return to home...really disappointing and a waste of money if you want to do anything other than shots from just 30 meters away...

    I use the Protactic 450 by Lowepro and I'm pretty damn happy with it. You must have checked it out already but if you haven't you definitely should. I'd been a Vanguard only guy till this one. The 350 is cool too, but a little smaller than what I needed. Looks very cool and subtle in a way, and also the straps all over make it very modular. Has all the buckles you'd want and I guess it fixes the little gripes you have with this one. Do check it out.

    @DucatiKozak 6 років тому

    I'm a subscriber for the cinematographic content, but have to say Potato, you entertained me with your crash!
    Here's your lesson: on unstable surfaces (off-road & dirt) you need to be on the rear brakes. Your front lost traction under braking and folded.
    Potato back from whence he came, to the dirt! It's the cycle* of life!
    Now you know!
    (*see what I did there?)

    • @DucatiKozak
      @DucatiKozak 6 років тому

      & I'm using a Lowepro Mini Trekker AW
      Great bag, had it for over 10yrs. Can just fit enough to have lots of options. But when you need more, I have 3 extra lens bags on either side if I want all my options (but be mindful going through tight spaces with a wider backpack & precious lenses on the sides).
      Love how the tripod fits on the back (out of the way but easy to get to). Has the waist strap which makes for easy access when you spin the bag around on your waist.
      Topical extra: have even had a crash on my Duc on a tour through the Appalachians & camera gear & backpack survived though it didn't really touch down but for a little corner that got worn from the asphalt slide. I consciously rolled onto my butt to save my gear :) for the win! Bike gone - but camera gear all saved!

  • @stefanotacchinardi
    @stefanotacchinardi 6 років тому

    Great video as usual!
    Talking about backpacks, I use two: the Lowepro Protactic 350 which I use for work and is a great and solid bag for a lot of gear (you also have side accesses and few accessories to clip outside), then I also use a Tenba Solstice 20, in which you can have two separate spaces for both camera gear and daily stuff, but you can also easily use it completely for gear.

    Buy a cheap 1" general purpose strap, with a buckle, from a 2$ shop. Slip it through the bottom of the shoulder straps at waist height and fasten at the front. When not using it to stabilise the bag, it's handy to grab and assist taking the bag off!

    Just a suggestion on your new back pack instead of sliding your tripod all the way from the top til one of the legs hits the pocket just push the top of tripod up into strap like a couple of inches get leg in pocket it will be a whole lot easier do you get what I am saying you don't have to slide the whole tripod through the strap if you come from the bottom up you just need to slide it a couple inches and thanks for your videos I really enjoy watching you I like watching you as much as Peter M. I just say that because he's been my favorite for a while

    Good video, thanks. I'm looking to buy me a drone, not sure which though. Mavic Air 2 seems good.
