Which cam is best for Snorkeling in the Maldives?

This resort on the maldivian Island of Dheru is called "Jawakara" and was the best island we explored so far (actually it's two islands connected via a 600m long bridge). 

Best SETTINGS:
4k30 or 60fps  (30 for low light)
4:3 aspect - so you can re-frame if you didn't have your subject centered well
Rocksteady stabilization on, wide FOV
Option: underwarter color 

TRANSFER speeds:   
  Nano (128gb version):    ~500 mbytes/sec !!!
  Action5 (internal mem): ~300 mbytes/sec 
  from SD card:                    ~80  mbytes/sec

BATTERYLIFE: 
really good efficiency! Action5 runs very long, little Nano runs "long enough" and is re-charged quickly with it's screen module...
Never was an issue in our 2 weeks of snorkeling!

Split Realities - Mystic ruins above the fog (DJI Air3)

 After fog creeped in for the better part of december I really started to crave for some sunlight. Last friday afternoon I took my DJI Air3 out for the first time after ages, drove up into the mountains - and was so amazed by both: tech tools and mother natures spectacular sense for dramatic scenery painting ;)

Wish you guys all the best - thanks for watching,

greets, Mario

DJI Osmo Nano: Better than DJI O4 footage?

 Is the DJI Osmo Nano worth adding to your drone? I compared it on my 5" drone to DJI O3 footage and on my cinematic 7" cruiser to the DJI O4 (with ND filter). I show you how to use Gyroflow and whilst testing I found a few surprises.

The Nano delivers noticeably better dynamic range and more filming options than DJI O3. It also delivers good battery life (considering the size) and lightning-fast file transfers!

BUT BE WARNED: The Nano is more prone to "jello" and its in-cam stabilization can struggle with drone vibrations, potentially ruining shots. Get ND Filters for the DJI Nano, I'm sure my friends at FreewellGear already have some in their shop!

PRO TIP: To unlock its full potential, ALWAYS film with Stabilization OFF and in WIDE FOV! Then, use Gyroflow in post-production for butter-smooth, controlled stabilization that truly shines. It takes a little extra effort, but the cinematic results are worth it!

Who is it for? Pilots seeking cinematic, natural-looking footage who are comfortable with post-stabilization and ensuring a super-stable drone mount.

SAMOS by Drone: Paradise Beaches, refreshing Canyons & awesome Cliff Dives!

 Join me as I put the Chimera 4 travel drone to the ultimate test, capturing the stunning beauty of  Samos Island (Greece) – from paradise beaches everywhere, through refreshing canyons to be explored and epic dives at the Kerkis, highest elevation on the island.

Canyon was the "Potami Waterfalls" a little west of Karlovasi. Beach from first shots is the Potami beach, Church is called "Agios Nikolaos Chapel Potami". Best fish on the island in our fav restaurant: Cohyli Restaurant (in Ireon).

We found Samos to be the nicest island of the few Greek islands we travelled to. 

Stormflying 2025 (annual autumn RC gathering)

It was a wonderful day of flying – with good weather, a "Sturm" (the drink), and lots of fun at the airfield. Thanks to the organizers and also to everyone who helped rescue the poor penguin.
Please let me know how you like videos in my native language (it wouldn't have been any different here – I can rarely persuade my colleagues to speak English for my video :)

One finding on this language experiment:
if I do my video in my native language (German with some accent), It only translates into english.
When I do englisch videos, it translates into MANY languages...
Best, RCSchim

170kph FPV Mountain Dives & Scenery Surfing | AtomRC DolphinPro fixed wing

 !Please watch with 60fps (maybe set your TV to this instead of 50hz), so it's as smooth as intended!

Had some amazing flights with this bird. Not the most efficient one (in fact about 25% less efficient than its predecessor), but avg speed of 100 kph let's you zip around in the scenery, and full throttle gives me 170kph and a bit better handling in gusty conditions (important in the mountains).

I had to get used to this plane. It's dialed in better now, quite reliable - autolaunches always work, plenty of power even for bad throws (see settings in my initial review or directly here)

INAV 8 still gives me pitch oscillations (or "dolphining" up and down with the nose on cruise mode or RTH modes). From OliverC:
- CG ahead of the factory marks (3-5mm), and 3 mm "reflex" on Ailerons (3mm up trim, supposed to fixe the pitch oscillations)
- I use a DELTA mix with AILERONS (as on the old Dolphin) and just mix in 20-30% of elevator on the VTail - this flies better than stock config with traditional elevator

Landings: can be a bit tricky... I found that "flaring" it (up elevator and 0 throttle) to slow it down makes it land like a stone. So a bit of throttle and not to much pull on elev.

Also might install a "fin" on the bottom to protect the prop on landings (don't want to use folding prop). So far the stock props holds up nice.

Stats: These were 12 flights, 1h 52 mins in the air, 22 Ah, 192 km distance covered

I mostly fly 2x 1300 mah 6cell pacs in parallel (lipos from my 5" drones, 10 mins) and also 21700 based 6cell LiIon with 5Ah for longer flighttimes (around 13mins). You have good ammount of space in cockpit to move around batteries for CG. Long Packs work best.

I still run DJI O3 on this plane, ND16 Filter, Gyroflow Plugin in Premiere with stock settings, (Rocksteady off in O3!)
