Flight of my BaYangToys X21 Brushless Double GPS Drone 11-11-18 (1080p) (2).
Flight took place in the airspace over an vacant lot along Summit Dr. between Ellinor Ave. and Dearborn Ave. in Shelton WA. USA at 2:33pm PST on 11-11-18 (or, "2018-11-11T14:33" or, "2018 11 Nov." or even, "November 11, Twenty Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were fair, temperature was 55°F (12.7°C), and winds as measured with my el stupido"strong dolphin piddle yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were somewhat variable from the WNW to the NNE gusting to 3.10mph (4.99kph) at the surface.
The music that you hear are the songs, "Acid 9000" and, "Shockwave" by the EDM group Far Too Loud.
This product is not audio (sound)-sensitive in any manner; the music may safely be ignored or even muted if it pisses you off.
I used my Fitfort 4K Action Cam instead of the OEM camera because that camera went to pot in early-April 2018.
And I recorded the video in 1080p because a 4K video of this length would take *DAYS* to process, not minutes (a 30-second video that I recorded in 4K a month or so ago took almost *10 hours* to process!!!) :-O
Cold weather* flight of my BaYangToys X21 Brushless Double GPS Drone 11-11-18 (1080p) (1).
Flight took place in the airspace over a grassy** vacant lot near the intersection of Holman St. and Dearborn Ave. in Shelton WA. USA at 7:17am PST on 11-11-18 (or, "2018-11-11T07:17" or, "2018 11 Nov." or even, "November 11, Twenty Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were cloudy, temperature was 32°F (0°C), and winds as measured with my el stupido "rotten scorpion urine*** yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were generally clam at the surface.
The music that you hear is demo zax made by the Pee-Cee program Synth-Werk titled, "Trailer Demo HD Bestservice" and, "Musique Electronique".
This product is not audio (sound)-sensitive in any manner; the music may safely be ignored or even muted if it piddles you off.
I affixed my Fitfort 4K Action Cam to the underside of drone's fuselage (because the OEM camera is shot -- it went to pot on the drone's maiden "flight") for this and all subsequent flights of this drone.
I mounted it into the OEM camera's bracket which should help to mitigate jello; though the drone's landing sprigs will be visible because this camera has a relatively wide-angle lens.
I had to make a very slight modification to the bracket; this simply entailed removing a piece of foam from the inside of the moveable portion of the bracket that was pressing down the camera's shutter button when this part of the bracket was swung down to be latched.
I figured it out!
I figured out why GPS lock occurs on the ground (prelaunch) but fails shortly after liftoff!!
I figured out Blue Clues!!! :-)
The positioning of my action cam on the upper surface of the fuselage was to blame. Once I modified the OEM camera's bracket to accept my Fitfort 4K Action Cam where it was designed to go, the GPS lock remained rock stable!!! The camera's electronics were apparently causing interference with the front-end of the GPS receiver; moving the camera solved this issue! :-D
* Cold weather in this context means an ambient temperature of 11°F (-11.7°C to 32°F (0°C) at flight time.
** Grassy because in case the drone inexplicably falls out of the sky again, I want to help ensure maximum survivability of the drone itself, its props, its landing sprigs, and the camera (which was already damaged during an ESC failure-induced crash {and subsequent destruction} of my Global Drone X183 several days ago).
*** Scorpions (all arthropods actually) do not go poddy like most mammals do (by storing their pee-pee in an expandable sac and then ejecting it through the urethra when that pissinary bladder is full); therefore there is really no such thing as scorpion urine. ;-)
Flight of my BaYangToys X21 Brushless Double GPS Drone 11-10-18 (1080p) (3).
Flight took place in the airspace over an vacant, grassy* lot near the intersection of Ellinor Ave. and Olympic Hwy. S. in Shelton WA. USA at 2:12pm PST on 11-10-18 (or, "2018-11-10T14:12" or, "2018 10 Nov." or even, "November 10, Twenty Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were partly cloudy, temperature was 52°F (11.1°C), and winds measured with my stupid "strong rhinocerous piss yellow" portable digital anemometer were generally clam at the surface.
The music that you hear are the songs, "Die Hard the Hunted" by Def Leppard and, "R2-D2 (Lives in my Ass)" by the Rochester NY comedy synth electro-punk group Worm Quartet.
This product is not audio (sound)-sensitive in any manner; the music may safely be ignored or even muted if it piddles you off.
I affixed my Fitfort 4K Action Cam to the upper side of drone's fuselage (crash damage to the camera on the final flight of my Global Drone X183 on 11-08-18 prohibits me from mounting it on the underside of the fuselage as intended) for all flights of this drone.
For reasons as-of-yet unknown, the GPS lock occurs on the ground (prelaunch) but GPS contact is lost shortly after liftoff, necessitating me to fly the X21 like a non-GPS drone such as a Syma X8C. :-O

Cool weather* flights** of my BaYangToys X21 Brushless Double GPS Drone 11-10-18 (1080p) (2).
Flights took place in the airspace over an vacant, grassy*** lot near the intersection of Ellinor Ave. and Olympic Hwy. S. in Shelton WA. USA at 9:27am PST on 11-10-18 (or, "2018-11-10T09:27" or, "2018 10 Nov." or even, "November 10, Twenty Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were cloudy, temperature was 39°F (3.9°C), and winds measured with my stupid "strong camel urine yellow" portable digital anemometer were generally clam at the surface.

I affixed my Fitfort 4K Action Cam to the upper side of drone's fuselage (crash damage to the camera on the final flight of my Global Drone X183 on 11-08-18 prohibits me from mounting it on the underside of the fuselage as intended) for all flights of this drone.
* Cool weather in this context means an ambient temperature of 33°F (0.6°C) to 50°F (10°C) at flight time.
** Flights because at just over 6½ minutes into the first flight, the radio (transmitter) started to raise a stink, which I thought may have been a low battery alarm, but when I looked at the receiver (drone) battery voltage on the radio's LCD, it indicated that I was still at 11.2 volts. So I landed and attempted to stop the motors. That was not successful, so I grabbed the (still-running) drone by one of its landing sprigs and used the other hand to unplug the flight battery. So I turned the radio back on, plugged up the drone's flight battery again, and recalibrated. Once complete, I lifted off and flew some more until I noted that the LEDs on the underside of the drone's pylons went into a very slow blink -- I brought it in at that point, shut everything down, and returned home.

***NSFW*** Brief* cool weather** flight of my BaYangToys X21 Brushless Double GPS Drone 11-14-18 (1080p) (1).
Flight took place in the airspace over a grassy vacant lot near the intersection of Holman St. and Dearborn Ave. in Shelton WA. USA at 7:17am PST on 11-14-18 (or, "2018-11-14T07:17" or, "2018 14 Nov." or even, "November 14, Twenty Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were cloudy with light rain increasing to medium/heavy rain approx. 90 seconds into the flight, temperature was 45°F (7.2°C), and winds measured with my stupid "rotten Mexican Red Legs tarantula pee*** yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were generally clam at the surface.

I prefaced the title of this video with, "***NSFW***" because the music has some naughty bits in it -- the F-bomb gets dropped several times.
* Brief because the rain increased to what could almost be considered heavy rain approx. 90 seconds into the flight, so I brought the drone in quite early on.
** Cool weather in this context means an ambient temperature of 33°F (0.6°C) to 50°F (10°C) at flight time.
*** Tarantulas (all arthropods, actually) do not visit the loo like most people do (by storing their tinkle in an expandable sac and then ejecting it through the urethra when the bladder is full); therefore there is really no such thing as Mexican Red Legs tarantula pee. ;-)
Cool weather* twilight flight of my BaYangToys X21 Brushless Double GPS Drone 11-13-18 (1080p) (3).
Flight took place in the airspace over the 1720-block of Ridge Rd. in Shelton WA. USA. at 5:05pm PST on 11-13-18 (or, "2018-11-13T17:05" or, "2018 13 Nov." or even, "November 13, Twenty Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were cloudy, temperature was 49°F (9.4°C), and winds measured with my stupid "rotten scorpion urine** yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were generally clam at the surface.

That blue-green flare that you see both early and late into the flight was me irradiating the drone with my Directly-Injected 488nm Greenish-Blue ("cyan") Laser Pen.
The drone collided with an overhead CATV cable and plummeted to the ground at flight's end (while I was preparing to land), but the only physical damage visible was that one of the little plastic tits popped out of a pylon (should be easily repairable using nothing more than a butterknife) and the camera & its mounting bracket popped off and went flying; by using those foam shock-absorbing grommets from another camera platform, that was quickly and easily repaired as well.
* Cool weather in this context means an ambient temperature of 33°F (0.6°C) to 50°F (10°C) at flight time.
** Scorpions (all arthropods, actually) do not hit the head like most people do (by storing their T-T in an expandable sac and then ejecting it through the urethra and into the head when the bladder is full); therefore there is really no such thing as scorpion urine. ;-)
Cool weather* flight of my BaYangToys X21 Brushless Double GPS Drone 11-13-18 (1080p) (2).
Flight took place in the airspace over an vacant lot near the intersection of Ellinor Ave. and Olympic Hwy. N. at 11:35am PST on 11-13-18 (or, "2018-11-13T11:35" or, "2018 13 Nov." or even, "November 13, Twenty Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were partly cloudy (the clouds appeared to be somewhat thin stratocumulus), temperature was 49°F (9.4°C), and winds measured with my stupid "rotten gecko poddy** yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were generally clam at the surface.
The music that you hear is zax from the coin-op arcade video game, "Super Hang-On" (the song is titled, "Hard Road") by Sega from 1986.

On at least one occasion, the drone exhibited a rather minor TBE (Toliet Bowl Effect) where it would rotate in tight circles with no change in yaw, which will very likely show up in this video.
You have been fairly warned -- yet AGAIN! :-)
Also, the X21 appears to be a bit unstable when it is landing and has touched down; it has a tendency to fall over forward or backward while the props are still rotating shortly after contacting the ground.
It landed correctly this time however -- even the rotor blades automatically stopped just a matter of milliseconds after touch down! :-)

** Geckos (all ectothermic critters, actually) do not visit the loo like most people do (by storing their piddle in an expandable sac and then ejecting it through the urethra and into the head when the bladder is full); therefore there is really no such thing as gecko poddy. ;-)
