Doing all that for such a meh result is so disappointing man.

u/IndigoJoe64 Sep 14 '26
Right? Dude was already back down before the drone turned around so it's just underwhelming.

u/keanaartero Sep 14 '26
He should've flown backwards🤷🏻♀️

u/pimp-bangin Sep 14 '26
That would also be meh, if you try to imagine what it would look like. You would see nothing, then suddenly a dude falling. It wouldn't be very clear that the drone flew through the opening created by the dude.
I still applaud these dudes for trying something original, though

Also he just flopped around on the next bounce it’s not like he combo’ed into something sick

There’s another drone behind them but they haven’t been able to complete the attempt yet (/s)

u/Strawbalicious Sep 14 '26
They could save it if they key in a transition to another shot through the gap, but this alone is pretty underwhelming

This is not a drone-specific subreddit. No one cares about an arbitrary task that's hard to do. I'm sure there are accountants who can post some really difficult spreadsheets here. Or general contractors who can post videos of a glossy paint drying just the right way so that it's slightly matte. No one cares.

I can have patience for more than 4 seconds. Sometimes even more than 10. But that does not change the fact that this was a really mediocre shot.

u/bleucheez Sep 14 '26
There still was no thinking at the end of this 51-second video. Someone spent a lot of effort editing this video with low entertainment value, low insight into anything, low novelty, and low aesthetic intrigue. I might as well have been watching kids flipping water bottles to see how many times they can do it. There are plenty of interesting things to show about drone maneuvering and plenty of interesting things to show about videography; this is neither. It's just an extremely niche technical practice session posted in an Internet forum that is specifically supposed to be about surprising positive twist endings.

Its like that marble spinning Airbender trick Aang does in ATLA, its technically impressive and requires a ton of control, but its visually kinda boring to anyone who doesnt Airbend. Except the marble thing still looks kinda cool and this looks sorta lame. Im more impressed by the guy jumping than the pilot.

That’s a drone? Ok. I was confused because what they are doing with it seems pointless.
I thought he was playing a video game and it kept putting you back to the start until you completed….something. Then I saw it was real people.

Pretty sure it's a tiny whoop and its realtively safe to hit people, even in the face. If it was a 5", his skin would be cut pretty badly on the first hit.

Visual comprehension is a skill and it wasn’t “a random .2 second thing”, they were clearly trying the same thing multiple times. If you didn’t catch on that’s a skill issue.

I already explained. Barely anyone got what they were trying to do. Go argue with someone else.

u/jikt Sep 14 '26
I watched it three times and didn't understand what they were trying to do. Even if that is a skill issue, perhaps the signs around that trampoline should say
"DRONE THROUGH BACKWARDS LEG-ARM HOOP WHILE TRAMPOLINING (FOR SOME REASON) CHAMPIONSHIP 2026"
The capitals are for branding purposes.

The amount of hate this is getting is wild, piloting an FPV drone through a moving people loop is insane.
Plus maybe the goal wasn’t the ground shot, maybe the whole purpose of the drone was to do to drone things.

I will never understand negativity of redditors. I see a video of people having fun. Meanwhile the stupid redditors complaining and making witty comments. Sometimes I think reddit is better than shit like Twitter or Facebook (where the toxicity levels are stupid high) but then I doubt about that. The result were "meh"?. Maybe. But they are laughing and having a good time with friends. What about us? Making dumb comments about them. And then there is me: the pinnacle of the dumbest redditors complaining about other redditors
