Hva denne videoen dekker
After months of boat damage and repairs, Jason and Janae relaunch Escapade in Bocas del Toro, Panama, and spend the episode testing the Antigravity A1 drone — a 249-gram FPV drone with immersive goggles — rather than addressing the outstanding boatyard situation, which they defer to the next episode.0:12 The A1's light weight keeps it under registration thresholds in many countries, a practical advantage for cruisers crossing borders.2:21 Jason and Janae run initial test flights from land in the boatyard, then take the drone to Bocas del Toro island by scooter for longer flights, and finish with a launch from Escapade's deck.7:41 Key observations: the goggles' built-in forward-facing camera lets pilots check the controller without removing the headset; obstacle avoidance must be switched off near mast rigging and lines when landing on a boat, and the A1 makes that setting accessible mid-flight; a built-in flight simulator lets new pilots practice before flying the real drone; and the 360-degree capture means pilots can fly directionally without framing precisely, then use the Deep Track feature in the Studio app to select a subject and let AI handle tracking in post.18:48 The episode is sponsored by Antigravity and acknowledges GoFundMe donors and Patreon supporters who funded the repair period.1:08
