    Red Dragon Flight in the Matrix (M2Z, Insta360 One X, Moverio BT-300)

    I have GPS on the Mavic2 with the Insta360 mounted on it. Yes its mounted right on top of the GPS antenna with the Mavic2 and I fly on "P" mode. I think the Mavic Pros have their GPS antenna on the rear. My last flight with the 360 over water in "P" mode. Waiting for good weather to fly some...

    MOUNTED INSTA360 ONE X ON M2Z, QUICK FLIGHT OVER CHICO

    I hope future drones will have this camera option. Maybe have all the sensors become HD cameras too to get the 360 view.

    MOUNTED INSTA360 ONE X ON M2Z, QUICK FLIGHT OVER CHICO

    Mounted the Insta360 one X over the battery to minimize the any GPS issues and flew over Chico. Worked great, you can see a little bit of jello in the video, but no GPS/sat link issue or noticeable reduction in flight time. I normally fly for about 15-20min and return with about 30-40% charge...

    SALMON ARE BACK IN CHICO

    Very reluctant to fly over water at first and I also felt the same flying over forests too. After a few flights over the forest and filming this, no issues now. I also flew this with a 360camera mounted on the Mavic.

    SALMON ARE BACK IN CHICO

    Thanks all! We went back out with a small boat in the morning while the water was calm with a M2P and a ROV to see the salmon again. A seal was out there too.

    SALMON ARE BACK IN CHICO

    Took the M2Z out to see the salmon in Chico. Don't like to fly over water but had to see the salmon and get an idea how many are out there...LOTS!

    End of Summer Kitsap Drone Meet - Drone Balloon drop, RC 787 flyby, group photo captured on 360 camera

    Our group fly here in Northwest, Wa. Some food, drinks and flying to end the summer. We had lots of drones in the air and no crashes. Mounted the Insta360 One X on the Zoom using Moverio BT300s.

    DRONE PARACHUTE DROP DEMONSTRATION

    Tested two mounts for the INSTA360 CAM and how it affects the GPS signal - PGYTECH mounts just in front of the battery and SUNNYLIFE mounts on top of the battery. Used both mounts back to back and flew a quick 10min / 200 ft trip around the RC field and looked at the flight logs. SUNNYLIFE had...

    DRONE PARACHUTE DROP DEMONSTRATION

    I'm hoping the DJI Mavic GPS system will hold it from drifting, it holds pretty good in windy conditions. My 6" drone was able to carry the same Insta360 and do some flips and rolls, looked like it was holding up an Iphone X. My thought initially was on the first 1/2 flip the CG would confuse...

    DRONE PARACHUTE DROP DEMONSTRATION

    Now I'm curious, will a forward mount (Insta360 mount between the front arms in front of power button - what I have right now) have more or less impact on GPS signal strength than battery mount (Insta360 above the battery, behind the power button). Will it make a difference at all, need to find...

    DRONE PARACHUTE DROP DEMONSTRATION

    Yes there is a drop in the GPS signal but not enough to prevent the Mavic 2 from flying. Once in the air the signal gets stronger. No mod need on the mount, snaps in place and I can lift the Mavic with the camera. You will get a warning about shorter flight time with the added weight.

    DRONE PARACHUTE DROP DEMONSTRATION

    We must have had @6 DJIs in the air at one time and no signal interference or collisions.
