I've been watching drones for a loooong time.... dragging my feet along with many others... the Inspire is definitely looking good! Thanks for the great video.... clean and simple
Nice footage of Turner Falls. Glad to see there wasn't much flood damage from all the rain this summer. Now we will have to drive down there to have a look-see for ourselves.
This is one of your best videos. I've been building and flying RC-Models (Radio Controlled Model Airplanes) since I was 12, and instructing since I was 18.. you'd make a fine instructor. Your flying is excellent, and your aerial-filming is professional. I thought you've used a helicopter for the aerial shots of the Portal Combat. Well done. Keep up the superb work.
Weird, I am about to buy the duel operator one and have been watching videos and reviews on it all morning and then this pops up. Cannot wait to watch.
I recently got to go to a filming of a Roadkill episode, it was quite awesome watching an experienced operator use a drone to capture video on the race track. I believe they had a Phantom and an Inspire. The footage they are able to get by using those is insane.
DJI has updated the design of the propeller's since this was shot. There was an issue with the blades flying off. If you have the same props as Ryan you need to use prop-locks to latch them in place. The newer design has a flat center, instead of the cone. The new design isn't just for the propellers, but the thread assembly as well.
I was going to complain about the slow frame rate leading to a jerky presentation. But you know what? That high-speed chatter really does pack in all the necessary details! I take my hat off too you. Thanks!
Thanks Ryan, really helpful tips. I've got a phantom 3 professional and also found it very easy to learn, very stable, and have been very happy with the 4k video too which I've included in some of my vlogs. The advantage it's cheaper that the Inspire 1.
Good advice throughout although I'd add that in theory to ensure safety not only should you keep Visual Line of Site (VLOS) of the drone you should try and keep site of the ground over which you're flying. If you fly over a group of trees or a building and you can't see the ground, you can't tell whether there's anyone who has entered the area and would potentially be at risk if something went wrong. Using a spotter its radio link (walking talkie) helps get round this issue.
I loved the test shots you got, and it was very nicely paired with the music. This has been probably the episode I've liked the most after "The Best Cheap HD Cameras for Filmmakers" episode (which is how I found Film Riot). I also recently saw you on a Canon How to Film Films video. Good stuff!
Haha, I was looking at the VHS video yesterday and saw an annotation that said "clue 2". I went to the end where it said to wait until September 17th, I was completely confused as to what was going on. Haha, I'm glad I watched this video.
connecting a vr (like samsung gear vr) and having a 360 camera would be so fun, also you would have peripheral vision so you won't be as scared to fly out of sight
Awesome video! We just got an inspire as well! One thing I found out, is to make sure that your frequencies for your RC is set to auto, not custom. Default was set to custom, making it stuck on one channel (so you lose signal if it gets interrupted or drops out). I got about 150 feet away and the drone dipped down, tagged the parking lot then raised back up. No damage to camera thank God, but definitely worried me. What about any wrecks you've experienced? PS - You should have kept in that nice drone buzz nat sound!
the Inspire is a nice looking Quad but thats about where it ends. there are so many other quads out there at a third of the cost that offer more in the way of autonomous flying modes, like 3D Robotics Solo or specifically the Pixhawk flight controller that allow for follow modes, waypoint programming and Circle modes that limit required input from the pilot. and now with the GoPro Hero 4 black, you can get aerial footage as good as any from the Inspire. if you are looking to get into the profession of flying "Drones" or quads, do practice as that is solid advice from Ryan, trust me its better to crash your 50.00 drone than you 2800.00-3200.00 quad. make sure you also practice tactical flying away from the nervous humans who will see your quad as a SPY and try to shoot it down :P
I missed the camera related classes in school. I am young, but I know there is others my age who have these skills and are all ready making short films
Now all we need is stable drone regulation in the US! Would be cool if you guys addressed that issue in a video and if you are doing anything to help the pro-drone cause.
Hey Ryan! Can you make an episode about clichés? How to use and not abuse them, when to and when not to, when they are helpful when they are lame, and some tips on how to avoid them. (Mainly in horror movies. Is it even possible to film a horror movie with zero clichés? That would be a great monday challenge...) Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you.
Do you have to give it back? Mm I want one but she's a pretty penny... Haha Everything looks awesome and you walked us through it really well, Ryan. Great episode.
as a experienced drone pilot i know that safety is very important. please stress safety on the next drone video. A rule that I fly by is that safety always comes before filming, too many people are only worried about the shot and end up in a lot of trouble because of it.
I'm in middle school. And live on the island that the original Jurassic park was filmed. It's small and few places to shop at for anything especially film equipment
I’ve always wanted one of these babies. I’m halfway tempted to buy one today in October 2022. Course I could also go for the inspire two which is arguably a better drone it’s got the upgrades over the inspire one but it’s way more drawn that I need. I just want some fly around and have fun with. My first drone ever was a fan and three pro and I love that drone. But I did have two flyaway instances where I got the drone back but I know that’s kind of thing wouldn’t even happen today without using three. So it’s a big question for me should I get a more modern drone like an air 2S with all the latest tech or should I go for an inspire one knowing one day I won’t be able to get one.
Hi Film Riot :D at 5:20 you mention mini drones and say you talked about them in an older episode. I can't find that episode. If you can give me a hint where to find it I would be really happy, cause you guys really do great videos :D Thanks a lot
what do you call the fluttering of the picture image I notice a lot at around 8:07 to 8:16 ? my 5d mark 3 does the same thing when I do panning or tilting. it drives me nuts and im trying to figure out how to get rid of it if at all possible.
Do any of you have some troubleshooting tips for batteries that do not work coming out of the box? One of my batteries will not charge, and will not show a charge level after pressing the button on the top. Even when I connect it to the charger and leave it for a good amount of time it does nothing!
+Sleepless panda Samein France, it's illegal to fly a drone without a license that's about 1 000 €, and since the drone is more than 1 500 € already, No friggin way I can get one of those.
Yes you say 'charge' too many times times but ironically @1:19 you show charging a battery and the controller simultaneously which is specifically prohibited in the manual on page 21 due to excessive draw and overheating the charger.
This is by far my favorite Film Riot intro ever.
+Back to the Future We love you, your channel name and your avatar.
Lol
me to

Keep up the superb work.
Gotta say that I love the new visual feel of Film Riot.
that opening shot was impressive, very impressive, well done
That moment when you just got a drone yesterday, and filmriot uploads this the day after :O
Film Riot is only getting better and better :)
0:04 Coolest intro ever.
+AustinTheWeird123 That's exactly what I thought.
+AustinTheWeird123 Thanks man! :)
Film Riot You're welcome Haha
Weird, I am about to buy the duel operator one and have been watching videos and reviews on it all morning and then this pops up. Cannot wait to watch.
DJI is leading the way with drone tech. Can't wait to see what they do with the inspire 2
That is an amazingly faster than quicksilver dodging the bullet, intro to a blog video from Ryan.
I recently got to go to a filming of a Roadkill episode, it was quite awesome watching an experienced operator use a drone to capture video on the race track. I believe they had a Phantom and an Inspire. The footage they are able to get by using those is insane.
still my favorite drone. high coolness factor and so stable.
This is super fun. September 17, here we come!

The newer design has a flat center, instead of the cone. The new design isn't just for the propellers, but the thread assembly as well.
That was the coolest pre intro ever
Great video mate, thumbs up. Cheers from the IGY Simpson Bay Marina, Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
I was going to complain about the slow frame rate leading to a jerky presentation. But you know what? That high-speed chatter really does pack in all the necessary details! I take my hat off too you. Thanks!
Best drone ever on the best channel ever! How good can it get!?
Wow. The ending movie quote. I just finished watching Mission Impossible.
Great video! Loved how fast you went through the setup! Solid looking drone footage.
Thanks Ryan, really helpful tips. I've got a phantom 3 professional and also found it very easy to learn, very stable, and have been very happy with the 4k video too which I've included in some of my vlogs. The advantage it's cheaper that the Inspire 1.

Calibrating that thing is like doing the Peter Panda Dance. "Good night daddy".
Really good, down & dirty, quick start overview.

Damn this guy talked so fast and smooth...impressive
Ryan plz bring back the fillm state!
What's the worst crash you've had.
Ryan, what was the song used during the Inspire footage? I assume it's royalty free but I'm curious what it's called and what service you got it from.
+Jacob Carlson (Check Out Jacob) Agreed, I'd love to know. Sounds like M83.
+Jacob Carlson (Check Out Jacob) Yes! Song please!
+Jacob Carlson (Check Out Jacob) The song is called Echo Park. It can be licensed through APM Music.
+Scott Balkum I can't find it
+GabriuxFilms Use their search tool. Search for the track name.
connecting a vr (like samsung gear vr) and having a 360 camera would be so fun, also you would have peripheral vision so you won't be as scared to fly out of sight
Turner Falls? I had no idea you guys were from my part of the world. Davis Oklahoma. I live near OKC.
Purely awesome, wish I could finance an Inspire 1. :)

That thing looks badass
I'd love to have one. But I'll probably get a practice drone first

Beautiful shots, Ryan. Can you please tell me the name of the music that is playing during the drone shots starting at 7:51 ? Thanks
I think it is non copyright. Shazam doesn't recognise it...
+Ryan van der Velde lol.. I also tried Shazaming it with no success. thanks
So dang cool at 1:56!
God I love this channel!
I love my inspire 1!
I missed the camera related classes in school. I am young, but I know there is others my age who have these skills and are all ready making short films
can you do a tutorial on some post production that makes the video look better. like color correction and all that. thanks! i love what you guys do
Really digging the tunes you used! :-)
Now all we need is stable drone regulation in the US! Would be cool if you guys addressed that issue in a video and if you are doing anything to help the pro-drone cause.

I really felt like I was watching a tv show when that intro came on LoL
I have watched all of your videos.
amazing drone
wow, awesome shots :) wish the drones wouldn't be that expensive
Man, I can't believe how steady that thing is
+mussonman It has a motorized gimbal stabilizer.
I gotta say that intro is pretty spiffy ryan.
Nice, I have the Phantom 2 with a zen use h4 gimbal and go pro hero 4
Ryan love the vids your awesome
Soo cool! I want those drone
Oh what is the music called during the drone test?
That opening tho pretty cool

great review dude
New theme is cool
can anyone tell me the name of the small drone they used to practice with?

If I would have known you were at turner falls I definitely would have photo bombed. Im like 1hr away from it.
Hi Film Riot :D
at 5:20 you mention mini drones and say you talked about them in an older episode. I can't find that episode.
If you can give me a hint where to find it I would be really happy, cause you guys really do great videos :D
Thanks a lot
I bought a parrot Bebop and the footage is awesome. not 4k mind you but pretty good.
Super video - any plans to review the Inspire 1 Pro ?
:)
what song is that at 8:08 ? :) I really like it!
Hey Ryan! Can you do a slow motion bullet dodge like the one in the matrix?
Damn thats a cool landscape, it would be perfect for my upcoming warshort film. Unlucky enough i'm from sweden
still not intercept
+Lupo2punto0 Andrew is working on star wars episode 7 at bad robot.. so yeah, not much time I suppose.
+Willem Probst I know that but...I wanted to remind Ryan that Intercept should not be forgot
Yeah... I think everyone is waiting. I'm checking youtube daily haha :D
+Willem Probst Just kidding, funny to see you out here ;)
Hey rayn how to do some of the viking scene and the technique to use some of the prob?
Great work Ryan can you review the Phantom 3 Pro vs. inspire in your opinion and if have any news about the FAA regulations again great work my friend
Where do you get your Music?
what do you call the fluttering of the picture image I notice a lot at around 8:07 to 8:16 ? my 5d mark 3 does the same thing when I do panning or tilting. it drives me nuts and im trying to figure out how to get rid of it if at all possible.
Mike Sparks my guess is it's a fast shutter speed ?
its something else, I get it on my 5dm3 when I pan or tilt, dosent matter how slow or fast it always happens when I make a move like that
Mike Sparks do you shoot at a shutterspeed 2x your frame rate? And it's not rolling shutter?
24fps 50 shutter speed..lol, that's why I was asking about the fluttering at 8:07 to 8:16
that's what my camera does
on the 0:05 i see your antennas are not in good position , so im not surprised if you crashed or got weak signals warning !
Where is this beautyful valley with the river?
Hi, Can you give us basic idea on camera hook-up.How to take the shoots from top angle bottom angle and so on.
Hey, where is the music you used in this episode from? I loved it!
where did u get the music for your test footage?
Damn, I wish I had a drone for my short films, especially my action films.
Do you know or have you heard anything about the update for DJI GO to implement the Point of Interest and Follow etc?
check out the dji spreading wings, can fit a dslr on there
are you guys going to talk about the black magic ursa mini?
Hey Ryan! Im working on a video based on back to the future II. Could you maybe give some tips for hoverboard effects? :)
Hey Ryan!
Any thoughts on «rebel without a crew»?
YES!!!!
Sorry, late to the party, what episode was the small drone practice in? Or (to save time) what's the name of the small drone?
Do any of you have some troubleshooting tips for batteries that do not work coming out of the box? One of my batteries will not charge, and will not show a charge level after pressing the button on the top. Even when I connect it to the charger and leave it for a good amount of time it does nothing!
Live the New Intro
I didn't know intros where places to live in
Did you just not watch the past 6 or 7 film riot episodes or?
nop and i was trying to say Love
Just got a phantom 3 pro and it is pretty much the exact same. Beside s the 360 camera
A bunch of actual friggin satellites at your disposal. How cool is that.
Fuck this in Slovakia you have to pay 600 freakin' € to legaly use drone.
+Sleepless panda Samein France, it's illegal to fly a drone without a license that's about 1 000 €, and since the drone is more than 1 500 € already, No friggin way I can get one of those.
+Sleepless panda its only illegal if you get caught xD
+Sleepless panda And 3000 € to buy it :D
just fly a multirotor instead then.
+Sleepless panda wow that sucks :(
Hows the video connectivity to the phone? I've seen many cases on youtube where it video stream lags more than enough when live flying.
Yes you say 'charge' too many times times but ironically @1:19 you show charging a battery and the controller simultaneously which is specifically prohibited in the manual on page 21 due to excessive draw and overheating the charger.
You actually OWN a drone now? Awesome. Do you also still have the C100, as well?
