Worst LIVESTREAM in the history of youtube...
This is the re-edited SHORTENED version of the 2hrs stream. Wanted to make it more watchable. Bruce Simpson was nice enough to join me. I wanted to do a live-giveaway and in the first 30mins we had terrible internet because of a snowstorm. The remaining time was really funny and enjoyable conversation of a few random FPV nerds - thanks to all of you!

Flywoo HEXPlorer - Review and many Testflights
I really enjoy flying this copter. The additional power costs you some flighttime - but gives you more stability and more options (carry a fullsize gopro, large batteries, more YAW stability...).
Martin: thanks for the Mavic shots - great job once again!

Insta360 SMO 4k Review (compared to Gopro7, Flightfootage
For this review I took my classic approach: compare the new cam to a good known reference (Gopro7) - first in various scenes with low movement (better picture quality even with low youtube bitrate).
Overall I was stunned by the imagequality, very sharp, good dynamic contrast
Not good:
- light changes are in steps sometimes (but light handling isn't that bad)
- reliability: on 4 flights I had 2 shutdowns - don't know the cause yet - but I have a friend with similar issue
- Jello: even with ND16 I had some nasty wobbles in sunny conditions (might be the fault of my worn folding props on the sector?)
Those of you who already have the SMO: do you have the "shutdown" issue as well? How do you power the cam (I use the balance plug as shown).
If you buy this cam, please consider banggood. I don't earn affiliate money but they keep sending me stuff - so it should be a win win ;)

Why I sent my Insta360 One R back
With these kinds of reviews I will not make any money or get many review items offered but they will have the most benefit for you - and these honest reivews are quite rare on tha Netz ;)
Weight:
Core: 42gr | 4k/360 lens: 42gr | Battery base: 34gr = 118gr
+ Frame: 52gr = Total weight: 170gr

Resolution comparison in Excel (PDF) http://bit.ly/2NEtwOx
►Sector5 flight:
this is your typical insta cam on a drone (here my first try actually).
of course the insta is heavier and larger than a gopro7,
stabilization is great, possibilities are awesome with 360!
but this wears off faster than you think and I ended up with just 2 flights
on my drone in 3 months.
►Jet Chase:
The next day I was eager to chase my friends on the field.
Normally I try hard to have the object I wanna chase in the center of my
DJI cam - so the gopro would also record it.
With the 360 cam you dont have to care about aiming the shot - because you
can turn the sphere in post production and look almost anywhere.
You just have to bring your copter close enough to the aciton.
And here's the downside of the insta: if I'm not REALLY close, I have to zoom in
quite a bit, else the JET is just a DOT.
Zoomed in this quickly degrades to 720p or lower of resolution...
►Hiking:
Another use for this cam, no drone used - just a longer selfie stick in your backpack
and you get a funny looking 3rd person view - which you can - again - look around freely
in post production.
This is especially fun when you dont have to much time for framing the shot while
in the action. Also the 360 on a longer stick makes for nice scenes if you're high up
and dont have a drone. attention - dont watch this if you have vertigo :)
►Gopro7 vs Insta4k Module:
Since they basically give you the "normal" 4k cam module for free - you will buy it.
The modularity is part of the appeal, right?
But even tho the insta is really sharp (do we want maximum sharpness?)
the Gopros video was much more pleasing to watch!
Gopro just deals so much better with the jello vibrations from my copter...

+ lightweight (160gr)
+ long flighttimes (on 80gr 650mah battery ~ 240gr total weight) it took 64mah/min to stay in the air (cruising around)
+ fc has connectors (it's the very small molex ones - one step smaller than what you know from analog FPV cams!)
+ comes with a DJI Caddx Vista Cam (best quality)
+ flies good (tune is fine, motors seem to be good!)
- bendy frame
- CRSF mode needs mod (solderbridge mod, see QuadifyRC.com guide)
- ufl connector not secured
- faulty volt sensor, no amp sensor
- slow GPS acc.

Long flighttimes on any copter? (5" 6S copters with 5000mah LION pack)
Here I tried 2 of my fav copters from this year (Sector5 and Emax HawkPro) with a 5000mah 4cell LION pack (304gr).
Was curious about the flighttime I could achieve with a standard copter setup - and how it would fly (considering both are designed for 6S LIPO power).
Now I got 3 other Packs from ZOHD as well (7000mah 4cell, 3500mah 4cell and a 3500mah 3cell). I'm kinda curious how the 2 3500mah packs will do on the Chimera4. 3s lightweight vs 4s a bit heavy. Wouldnt be surprised to see similar flighttimes - even tho the 4cell pack has 25% more WH in the tank...
