RCSchim - Back in the DIVE business ;)

Rekon6 finally got his first proper DIVE mission in one of the best locations for mountain dive videos I know so far. First I flew without the HD cam - so you see DVR footage for the first flight (we have to be remembered that this is live video - no glitches, great quality!) Then I managed to mount my universal mount for the InstaSMO4k on the Rekon6 and got ~10mins of extreme scenery by flying up there with a regular 6s Lipo (more stable in higher winds than LION 4cell).

DJI OSD Telemetry automated and free!

It's now WAYYYY easier to create OSD video that you can overlay over your main flight video! With some inspiration from RCRDPS I could fully AUTOMATE the process of creating the Video overlay! - My script converts the SRT files to a nicer layout first (as shown in my last vid) and then it creates a black video with OSD text as MP4! - Add this black video with the OSD telemetry as an additional layer and apply a "color key" effect (to substract the black and make it transparent). This way you don't encode the DJI Video twice (which reduces quality).
only 2 requirements: - download my script - download "FFMPEG.zip" and extract it in the same DIR as my script and the source videos! Quick howto: Run my script - it will run thru ALL *.SRT files in the folder, search the according DJI...MP4 video (has to have same name) and create the new formatted SRT as well as the DJI....OSD.mp4 files for you. In Premiere: insert main video insert DJI...OSD.mp4 (OSD video) above main video (new track) apply "color key" on that OSD video (choose black, color tolerance 200, edge thin -3) (optional) apply the superview effect from my last video on MAIN video. It's not yet a full "Dashware" replacement (check FAB FPVs tutorials on that matter) but it's very convenient and fast enough so we can easily use OSD overlay each time we want (even the very lazy ones amongst us :) 11/2021: Update - I've played around with the DJI FPV drone (which supports SRT files as well since a certain FW). SRT files of the DJI FPV Racer have a few more values (Alt, Distance, Speed...) which is nice of course! Check my link below to find the "SRT_Reformat(DJI FPV Goggles)+ffmpegOSD" Script!

3.5 or 5inch drone? How do they compare?

Since I flew the 3.5" class drones (mostly Smart35) a lot this year, I was asking myself, how do the 5" 6S copters compare. So I took my Emax HawkPro (which was extensivly flown last year as my main fun quad). I show you the pros and cons but mainly I looked for an excuse to sneak away for a few flights :)

Very enjoyable spot, perfect trees! (relaxed commented fpv)

When I take my motorbike to work (which is only 1.5km) I have to make a little detour. If I roam around there, I take a drone with me... you see where this leads (late at work but with a smile on my face! ;)
2 Videos from there: https://youtu.be/oz-XrLqQGwQ https://youtu.be/3czYPzWWJz4 (I flew there with the ImmersionRC Vortex250 and later with then Mojo)
