- Adam has received his new DJI Inspire 1 quadcopter, so we take it to a remote location outside the city to test it out! This quad has the ability to split flight and camera controls between two operators, so Adam and Norm work together to capture a few aerial shots with the Inspire 1's 4K camera. Let us know if you'd like to see more videos like this!

Adam Savage has made some custom accessories and gear to optimize his drone flight setup, because of course he has: ua-cam.com/video/-JsGggcQRTM/v-deo.html
June 2020 and inspire 1 is still one of my all time favorites
I love my dji Inspire 1 v 2.0 . He is very good . My dji Inspire is here. 😉
Best first flight PR for DJI ever. Way to go Adam.
Its like being able to jump in your own private helicopter that you personally fly; all without ever having to leave the ground. I really love my Phantom 3 Professional. Just learning some new film shooting techniques.
Or it's like being Superman👍🏽 I want the pro edition of this!
This is truly one of the best quad-copters out there! A must for any professional or serious hobbyist
WOW this is sooo sick! So much potential for beautiful aerial shots! I just wish some people would be more responsible with these quad copters and avoid regulations on us honest folks out there
Now its 2018, and i was fortunate to buy an expertly maintained Inspire 1 V2 recently with the X3 camera for $900, it was videos like this that steered me, thanks Adam! Yes i could have bought a better Phantom 4 Pro but i wanted the Inspire, it looks more professional.
btw this video sold me on the Inspire, I have watched them before they even launched, and have been so ify about them but watching adam put it together and some of the flight they had done, I was sold.
That first shot already blew me away. Amazing, it almost didn't seem real after it reached a certain height...
This video is the reason why I fell in love with Inspire 1 and went out and got one.
For professional 2-person filming, there might be a need to have a lower-quality "pilot-view"-camera on the drone, pointing forward with maybe some small manual adjustment up and down before taking off to give better spacial awareness for the pilot when you lose sight of the drone.
Now they need to rely on the camera-persons view that can be pointing in a wrong direction. It might not be a problem for filming scenery, but if you're filming sports or other unique occurrences, it might be worth the extra investment.
Maybe have be on separate channel that can be put picture-in-picture on the control-rigs, but separate it so it doesn't record onto the main-film...
Should have a separate display with the pilot view, still really important for pilot to be able to consider shot composition.
you dont need 2 people for it
narrowninja157 Might not NEED 2 people, but like i said, it could be good for professionally shooting sports or other such events...
AVGamer oz Maybe have an iPad for camerawork and iPhone for piloting...
markotark ah i see
Feels so unreal when the camera is not distorted. Amazing!
The applications are endless! Got to have it. The 4k is a must, and no landing gear in view because of they are retractable. So sweet, we want more!
Holy balls this is amazing. Can you imagine a movie producer from a couple of decades ago seeing this. They would jizz their pants.
Man, thank you guys so much! I've been wanting to see inside Hunter's Point for decades now, and this is the first time I've really got a feel for what's going on. MUCH appreciated!
Applications of drones are both amazing and terrifying.
The quality is fantastic, much better than the other videos of this I've seen.
first thing is adam I love you man. your the guru of obsessions,. No more,not ever ,will some one saying to me "your obsessed" bother me. I will wear it proudly as the finest compliment. Obsessions is what makes us grow. Be obsessed people, Be VERRY OBSESSED.
You're not kidding... this is SO AWESOME!!!
now that you got a new one, can i have your old one adam :), very cool though, the precision of that quad is just amazing
Pretty friggen awesome. It seems surreal how clear and stable the video is.
Everyone wanted to hate the Inspire but the reviews have been awesome, I'm impressed! For what it is, it competes with 10,000$ custom rigs!
I just bought 2 DJI inspire 1 quadcopter one for me and one for my son we took it over the golden gate bridge awesome shots!!
Absolutely breath taking.
These are so amazing. It's almost impossible to have uninteresting shots. Fantastic!
By far the best montage i have ever seen
I wonder if that is where some of the Mythbusters episodes have been recorded. The long warehouse looks strangely familiar. Superb vid. I think that one of the reasons that Adam Savage is so popular is because he's still just a big kid at heart.
these tools have made so much possible for amature film makers, think about the shots and angles they got in this video, just 15 years ago shots like that wouldn't have been possible without renting cranes or helicopters, now any amature film student can save up $1,500 - $3,000, buy one of these and get amazing aerial shots not only for a one or two time shoot, but for ever!! soo cool!!
I have one too and am head over heels in love with it. Such great fun.
Love this quadciopter, had the phantom and that was great but this is just totally awesum, cant wait to get mine..
I have not followed anything regarding quads for a few months and look what i have missed..What an awesome looking machine.I cannot believe the progress that has been made in such a short time..Unbelievable..Where will we be in 5yrs?,exciting times ahead.
I have my own build quad but this is amazing. That camera quality is excellent
Thought that place looked familiar, that's Hunters Point! I was there almost 30 years ago while stationed on the USS Enterprise. During the repairs, we stayed in that tall building. My mountain bike got stolen from in front, lol.
well, having bought mine online yesterday, this video made me drool even more! can't wait to play with this!! great video!
Thank you Norm, for calling it a Quadcopter and not a Drone. Calling those drones is a pet peeve of mine.
You can program this unit to take off, navigate way points at different altitudes and return to where it started or where the remote is located and start the whole flight with a press of a button. That's a drone (UAV) albeit a small one.
Sean Knight Currently the Inspire doesn't support waypoints. So technically, its still a quad
It doesn't? That's surprising. I assumed it did considering the Phantom + does. Well that's going to hold me off from purchasing. I was planning on having it run a course while on an upcoming motorcycle adventure.
when they first started doing videos on multi rotors, they called them drones non stop and it was infuriating
Sean Knight
exactly, people love getting upset about this kind of thing. I call them drones or UAV's...when airplanes first came out people strapped guns to them to and killed a lot of people, today they're still called airplanes :P
I like your sun shades for the iPad mini. I think I'll start designing my own now! Thanks for the great video.
Amazing what you can do with this technology. Really beautiful shots!
Quality is much better than expected
This...was... AWESOME!! Please do more like this, the shots were amazing thanks guys
My Inspire 1 is being shipped to me today! I'm really excited to get some great looking shots like this. Awesome video!
This is quite impressive to see. I would indeed like to see more like this.
Waiting for mine to be delivered tomorrow is as bad as being 5 and waiting for Santa. The check list and table are now on my to do list. Thanks for the ideas.
Just started flying quads, although neither of mine have a camera yet. These are amazing shots and now I must say I really want one with a camera!
Nice footage! Our Inspire 1 arrives in a few weeks, can't wait!
Now that's a fun morning, Chang apparently working on his chase plane skills. Seems like it's hard to get a bad shot. The hardest thing is "giving yourself up to the machine." Where am I in 3-space? if you can lose yourself, you're there. Or do a lot more planning ahead. As you might for a "pro" use of two operators.
Instead of chest harnesses-- if you're going to just stand there-- get music stands. Or a card table and chairs.
Hey Adam when you fly with two people, one controlling the camera and the other flying, you use two cameras that way the flyer doesn't lose his orientation like you did. When you fly closer to buildings that might be the difference between a crash or a close call.
So beautiful, the shots of the warehouse at 07:30 look almost like they are from a video game they are that pretty!
So cool!
Wow! The footage is extremely steady.
Wow! The video is so stable and smooth
Snake River Prototyping is coming out with high quality ND/CP filters for the inspire in the next week or two.They are great! I got a test unit. They aren't the cheap colored glass of the DJI filter, or the Polar Pro junk that's out there now. These will allow you to shoot at the proper shutter speed (which is twice the frames per second) and they won't color or degrade your image.
You can tell from this video that one major improvement this thing needs is a fixed cam for the pilot.
This was cool! I'd like to see more of this in the future.
What a great video, awesome shots of the bay!
I'd love to see more videos! I'll be posting a few of my own - my Inspire just arrived! I'm stoked!!!
Hahaha, you finally released your engine! Hug's & kisses from Ute
The images are beautiful, I just wish they were even aware of some of the basic flight guidelines. Its pretty clear they are in awe of the machine but oblivious to the important ins-and-outs of it. Very similar to the "tested builds" series with will in the shop.
No line of sight at all, and yes its much different than racing a micro quad through buildings. At least they were in an industrial park rather than a high traffic area.
Best hands on video of the Inspire 1 in action I've seen! As with most video I've seen using the Inspire I and other quads the video is never smooth like the pans I get from a good hand held video camera even at low 60 fps. How can this be corrected or can it with the included camera? 1080P or 4K is great for sill motion shots but for real world professional use what good is it if the quality of video suffers from a jumping/skipping frame look? I have asked this question on several forums but no one seems to have an answer or cares to respond. So much attention has been published about how cool quads are but there doesn't seem to be anything out there about getting smooth video or if it's even possible with stock cameras that the Inspire 1 ships with. Adam if anyone can address this issue it would be you. Thanks for addressing this issue.
I'm so dizzy, I thinking going to blow chunks. Great video guys!
Adam always has the _coolest_ toys.
I would have been tempted to fly into some of those long open buildings.
Interesting setting, btw, looks like a set for a movie in the dystopian future genre.
Can't do it due to the physical limitations of high frequency RF. Plus when it loses radio contact and failsafes inside a building it's going to make a mess of your expensive toy
That's why I said "tempted." :)
Wow the possibility for movie footage and angles is endless.
The footage is bit jerky because the pans were too quick. There is a tool for that on his transmitter, and he needs to lower his exponential on his Yaw. Also the gimbal can be slow down so it doesn't move so quickly. This really improves your videography. Adam is a very smart person and I'm sure has figured out all of the settings by now.
Stunning aerial view!
Ive got a quadcopter on the way to my place right now, cant wait to get it!
Adam you're a genius. Great stuff.
Just wondered where one could find out some of the things you mentioned on the insire1
Oh the beauties of the San Francisco industrial district...
This is all so great but most of hobby enthusiasts can build a similar rig using a 650-680 frame + ardu FC+ 2-3 axis gimbal for 1/3 of the cost, so tell me why I need one of these?
This is an absolutely superb video. I really enjoyed it. I have had my Inspire 1 for about two weeks and have hardly had any opportunity to fly because of the weather here :( I am SO jealous. Thanks for making me feel even more impatient!!!! :)
Damb you got alot of money to blow. Just be patent don't ruin it xd
were still in the crystal radio stage of multi copters, can't wait to see them in 5 years time.
Hey it's the future, they're pretty fuckin crazy now lolol
Holy macro- Thats so amazing :00 So flashed right now!! What a great video quality Tested
Holy Moly! this is too cool
Thanks for sharing
Now I really want one LOL Great flying guys!! Its Great to see Adam so excited with the new tech!
im getting a DJI phantom 3 when it comes out this vid makes me so hyped to get mine :D
Dude! That is so cool! Thanks for sharing.
They should add a little scrolling compass thing to the UI on the pilot's screen, to show where the camera is pointed in relation to the front of the drone, that doesn't show up in the footage. Something at the top or bottom, that spins around like the compass in Skyrim.
Amazing video, good luck Adam!!! Keep doing it
Wow that is insane. And it's so stable
that video is amazingly stable!
most awesome inspire 1 video I've seen yet!! :)
love Adam Savage.
I've got the DJI Phantom 2 Vision and I love it.
Great video. I'm absolutely new to the drones, basically just checking the videos on YT before buying/building my own.
I see it has one camera which can be operated, sort of an eye of the pilot. Not sure what does iPad application show (I guess camera feed only). It would be nice to have a HUD there too. This way you could get the actual heading (compass), altitude and, importantly, which way is the camera looking. I guess you get it as you practice more, but still.
Would you say customer support from DJI is much better for Inspire customers then the Phantom series?
Anyone interested in the great location that Adam and Norm used for their base of operations, here are the coordinates that I found using Google Earth:
37°43'28.55"N
122°22'2.76"W
I just had to know for my own interest...LOVE the show guys! Keep up the awesome videos!
Thank you guys! Now I need to buy one.
i am glad to see Adam using Chinese drone I am so proud
i love the picture it looks so nice!
I think display needs something like a _"Heading indicator"_ or _"Attitude indicator"_ to show the position of the camera in relation to the drone. Talk to the DJI guys. Basically x-axis & y-axis displayed on the screen so stuff like this(5:11) can be avoided.
Steady cam makes everything look cinematic
Great video - planning to invest in one soon to allow further out shots for my "ireland from above" project
Once this tech is $1000 or less I am for sure getting one of these!
More videos like this Adam please..
I cant wait till I can use one of these for land surveying!
All I could think about watching this is old SCTV “Is that a crane shot? I told LaRue not crane shots… wait, that’s not a crane shot… Thats A HELICOPTER SHOT! Why I oughta…."
Rock solid camera platform!!! I need it!!!!!!
Just awesome! - You guys got me into flying, thank you so much!
Wow that is amazingly cool!
really needs a HUD or something that shows the angle the camera is pointing for the pilot
this is a good fucking idea.
the inspire 2 does
Cool youtube video and great footage with the 4k resolution camera. Not sure if it was converted to 1080p on UA-cam. At least I can only view it in 1080p anyway but it still looks great in full screen on a 42" TV.
Adam - HobbyTown hobbies in Rockford, Illinois sells a KILLER C/N/C machined and anodized aluminum mount for your Ipad Mini that also holds the controller. It's $175. This thing has "Adam Savage" written all over it!!!!
So awesome. Great video, thanks guys! How about something with some *serious* color? Flower farm/fields maybe?
