Flying the DJI Inspire 1 Quadcopter with Adam Savage

Flying the DJI Inspire 1 Quadcopter with Adam Savage 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!

Quadcopter Flying Tutorial: Turning Tips and Techniques

This is a tutorial video detailing flying tips on how to turn a quadcopter. Banked turns, sideslip rudder turns, and turn tightening with pitch control are discussed. For this video, I used the very nimble WLToys V212 6 axis quadcopter. Great for beginners and advanced flyers alike. http://www.banggood.com/Wholesale-WLtoys-V949-Upgrade-V212-2_4G-6-Axis-RC-Quadcopter-RTF-Mode-2-p-68517.html?p=RB0922217402201307U3
The V212 is one of the best quadcopters for beginners to learn outdoor flying.

Six axis stabilization allows automatic sensing of uncommanded sideslip and dropping.

Halloween Flying Quadcopter Drone Ghost 2014

This is my home made quadcopter originally intended for aerial filming. I wasn't able to get any footage of scaring people that night but i will in the near future.

Personal drones ARE NOT bought or built for spying on you!!! Please support this technology and inform yourselves before jumping on the anti "drone" bandwagon. Don't support or buy into ridiculous FAA regulations regarding these awesome, useful and fun aircraft!

Flying Robot Bugs

Flying Robot Bugs Caltech scientists steal flight techniques from birds and insects to build microbats; small devices with flapping wings that can fly cameras into places humans can not go. Such flying robots could end up exploring Mars and beyond.

These important flight training tips will help prevent you from losing your quadcopter. It's very important to learn how not to lose orientation of your quadcopter. This can be done by observings its movement alone. What would you do if one day you flew further away than you could be able to visually distinguish your quadcopters front or back? Also this might come in handy for advanced quadcopters, such as DJI.
