00:30Hey what's up, MKBHD here. Yes, that was the Rimac Concept One which by the end of this
00:41video will be the fastest car I've ever driven. This is the Insta360 GO 2, which is one of
00:48the neatest, weirdest little cameras I've ever used. But first, we've got to start with
00:53the fastest drone I have ever flown. There's a lot of stuff in this video. This is dope
00:59tech. Alright, so to dramatically oversimplify, there are basically two types of drones. The
01:05first one is the one we've kind of all seen and heard of, the film tool. So something
01:10like this, which is DJI's Mavic. And DJI has gotten extremely good at these and currently
01:16leads the space. They've got the Mavic 2, the Spark, and the Phantom, and all these
01:20drones are designed to make it as easy as possible to capture high quality aerial footage.
01:26So they've got high quality camera systems on multi-axis gimbals. They're all built in.
01:30They can run pre-programmed flight paths and they can even follow objects automatically.
01:35They have obstacle avoidance built in and they're easy enough to learn that someone
01:39who's literally never flown a drone before can pick one up and on their first try get
01:43a pretty good, smooth 4K shot because that's what they're designed to do. And then on the
01:49other side of the fence, there are FPV drones. FPV standing for First Person View, also
01:55commonly known as these racing drones. And you might've even seen them on TV lately
01:59as ESPN is showing some FPV drone races on TV now. But these are much more custom DIY
02:08built quadcopters made from kits that you can buy off the shelf, where you do a fair
02:12bit of putting things together yourself. You're tweaking, experimenting, even soldering sometimes
02:17to get it to work. It's a lot more involved, but when you're done, you get this crazy,
02:22sporty, fun experience that is completely manual. So you're not doing these automatic
02:27cinema shots. You can rip around obstacle courses at crazy speeds. There's going to
02:33be crashes and that's completely normal. But these kits have replacement parts for almost
02:37every component. So if you break a propeller, just pop on a new one. Or if you crack an
02:41arm, you can replace that too. Turns out when something's made to be broken, it's a lot
02:45easier to fix. The battery life on these things is typically only five to nine minutes tops
02:51and the camera quality is absolutely not a priority. Really, it's just there to be able
02:56to give you a real time feed of where the drone is flying in space. And it's usually
03:00paired with a set of goggles that you wear so you can fly the drone from the camera feed
03:06like a pilot. That's where the first person view part comes in. And while it's not the
03:09highest quality footage ever, it is pretty awesome. So now enter DJI's new FPV drone.
03:17It's literally called the DJI FPV. That's what they named it. But this takes some of
03:21the best things from both of these two very separate worlds of drones and matches them
03:26together into one. So from the ones we're familiar with in the cinema world, a much
03:31better 4K camera on a gimbal stabilized. It's also got obstacle avoidance and a relatively
03:37easy learning curve to learn how to fly. But from the other side, well, this thing is fast.
03:43It's sporty. It rips around in these crazy, agile, nimble patterns, and it flies like
03:48an FPV drone. So the result combined with the goggles is easily the most fun I've ever
03:54had flying a drone. Easily. Like the drone itself looks the part, of course. You've got
03:59these pretty small propellers, non collapsible arms. The whole thing's pretty compact, but
04:04it's definitely in this very aggressive shape. Really, the battery at the back is most of
04:08the weight. And there's a 4K stabilized camera up front. And then the last two pieces are
04:13the goggles and the remote. The goggles are exactly what you'd expect from the FPV world.
04:17They're a low latency transmitter and a monitor for the drone's camera. And they look like
04:22this when you have them on. So great. And they're not the most comfortable goggles
04:27in the world either. The padding is not actually all that soft where they sit around your face,
04:31but you got to remember they're more than just a display. There's a whole computer in
04:35here. There's antennas for communicating with the drone and getting that high resolution
04:38video feed with a low enough latency to control it quickly. Plus, you've got some extra controls
04:44for the camera and the media. And you can even store that streamed video straight to
04:49a micro SD card in the headset, which is actually really smart because if you're doing
04:53some particularly risky maneuver over some water or something like that, and you're not
04:58sure you're going to be able to recover the drone, you can record the video to the goggles
05:01in case you can't get this card later. So the headset is powered by a battery on a
05:06cable that goes into your pocket. Then the controller is pretty simple. It looks kind
05:10of just like a Mavic controller minus the spot for your phone. It's the joysticks and
05:14an antenna really. So there's three modes for flying this thing. Normal mode, which
05:19is best for beginners. It gets you the closest to the other DJI drones. This one is still
05:24pretty quick, maxes out at 33 miles per hour, but it's best for shooting with the cameras
05:29because the drone doesn't tilt very much and the obstacle avoidance is using the built-in
05:33sensors and it'll save you if you go too crazy. It can fly like this for about 15 minutes
05:39on a single battery, which is an eternity in the FPV world. Then there's sport mode,
05:45which unlocks a lot more speed. So this has object detection turned off, and now you're
05:50talking a max speed of about 60 miles an hour. That's already faster than almost any other
05:55consumer drone right now. And that lets you get those hard turns, the tight corners and
06:00the sweet flybys. It really is a sporty thing. It's also kind of wild how this thing sounds
06:06as it buzzes by you, or it makes like a really sharp turn. The propellers are moving so fast
06:10it makes this really high pitched whine, this crazy motor rev sound. So the third and final
06:16mode is manual mode, which is fully unlocked. So no restrictions, no limits. It's all about
06:24you and your control. And it's kind of insane. I personally didn't fly much in manual mode
06:28because not only is it the hardest to learn, but it's the riskiest. But you can do flips
06:33and all kinds of moves that you can pull off in a normal FPV drone. And it's happening
06:38at a new max speed of up to 87 miles per hour. So I found it most comfortable in sport mode,
06:45to be honest. It's already faster than almost any other drone I've used. And it's so crazy
06:50nimble and fun that it just kind of feels like a video game. It's addicting. And the
06:55video quality you can see is really not bad. I mean, compared to what you saw on the Drone
07:00Racing League's YouTube channel, it's practically cinema quality. You've got the stabilization
07:04from the gimbal and there's an additional layer of EIS on top that helps smooth out
07:08the footage. And in sport mode, you're going to get the propellers in the shot a bit more
07:13than something like a Phantom or a Mavic because it is leaning a lot further forward and turning
07:18faster and harder. So you're going to get more of the props in your shot. But in normal
07:23mode, you can use it like a legit film tool if you want to and slow it down, get some
07:28nice shots. That's 120 megabits per second at 4K60 with a cinematic color profile. Also,
07:35fun fact, we did crash this one as you can kind of see here. But this does seem very
07:41resilient to crashes. This is the type of drone you probably expect to crash a couple
07:46times. With this one, it crashed upside down and skidded across asphalt for a while, picked
07:53it up, replaced the propellers, and it was good to go. Like nothing's broken, nothing
07:58doesn't work. It's still good. DJI also made a simulator that you can learn to fly in before
08:04actually taking a drone up into the sky. So if you want to explore what it means to fly
08:08in manual mode and see whether or not you're ready for it, that is definitely the move.
08:12It's pretty cool that they built that in and it might save you $1300. But yeah, like
08:16I said, so fun. I've never flown in actual FPV drones, and that's probably true for most
08:21people watching this. And to me, the DJI FPV represents a bit more accessibility for that
08:29FPV experience. Now don't get me wrong, it's still expensive. The whole kit will be $1299.
08:37But if you asked me basically today if I could only use one drone for the rest of my life,
08:43I think I would pick this one. I think that would be the most fun. So really the difference
08:47between getting into building your own drone from parts and flying around an obstacle course
08:52versus this basically plug and play version is pretty dramatic. That's where the accessibility
08:57comes in. And that's where it's so awesome. And that's not even mentioning the joystick
09:01controller, which is a pretty sweet alternate version which can let you fly it around by
09:05moving around the joystick in the air, which is awesome. But I'll link some pretty good
09:10reviews of this drone if you want by some friends who have had it for longer than me.
09:14If you want to check them out, blow the like button. Now, speaking of things that are the
09:19most fun when they go fast, that blue car that you were seeing in some of those shots.
09:25Yeah, that is the Rimac Concept One. This car is on another level and you will absolutely
09:33never see one of these in the street. And there's a few reasons why. Okay, so first
09:38there were only eight of these ever made, total. And you might actually already know
09:41the story about how one of them doesn't exist anymore, thanks to a little Top Gear incident.
09:45So now there's only seven. So they're going for about $1.7 million each and they are all
09:51seven different specs, seven different paint colors, which is pretty cool. They're unique
09:56in a lot of ways. But the Concept One is really cool to me because it's an aspirational car.
10:02This was the bleeding edge, best possible electric hypercar in 2013. So all that crazy
10:09bleeding edge aspirational stuff we see now in like the Tesla Roadster or the Koenigsegg
10:15Jumeirah or even a Lucid Air or something like that. That's the same mentality that
10:22Rimac had with this back in 2013. So this is a two-door Roadster, as you can see, with
10:27four permanent magnet motors, one at each wheel, putting out a total of 1200 horsepower
10:33and doing zero to 60 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds. It has a two-speed gearbox with carbon
10:39fiber paddle shifters, which is incredible. And it has a 90 kilowatt hour battery that
10:44sits basically right behind the driver's seat for a 210 mile range, which conveniently matches
10:50the 210 mile per hour top speed. And fun fact, the glove box is the largest storage
10:57in this entire tiny car. There is no trunk. There is no frunk. And today I'm going to
11:02drive it and give it a Doug score. Just kidding. I'm not actually going to review it, but I
11:07did get to take it out for a few laps around the block. Shout out to Manhattan Motors for
11:11letting me borrow this supercar for a few hours to just experience this. It was absolutely
11:16terrifying and I was trying my hardest not to do anything too crazy, but yeah, what an experience.
11:46It's like, what is it? Cause you just don't see cars that look this low and it's obvious
11:49that there's something special, but driving it, there's no other way to describe it.
11:56It feels like a go-kart. It is so compact. There is no rear view mirror. There's no rear
12:06visibility. There's very small side mirrors. Everything about the car is very small, but
12:12as you feel the steering and the driving of it, it's just like a go-kart. If you've
12:17ever driven a go-kart, you know what I'm talking about. Now, the fun part is, you've heard
12:24of the quad motors. You know that there's crazy numbers, but there's also just like
12:29a feeling and a sound, but a feeling to driving this, which is kind of crazy. And then you
12:37have two gears. Here's the thing about the gears. I don't know when to switch between
12:44them. You have the first gear, which sounds, this is the lowest gear ratio. You're blasting
12:53off the line, your early speed stuff. And then you have gear two, which is your higher
12:58speed. That's going to go up to your 211 miles an hour, but there's no RPM indicator, just
13:04power indicators. I don't really know when to switch gears. I just, I would just when
13:09it feels about right. I'm not a professional driver though, so don't do what I do. The
13:20feeling of changing gears is so sick. It's so sick. This is my, I'm doing my best Doug
13:27DiMero impression right now. Oh my God. Oh my God. Every little bump is amplified. You
13:43feel like you're rolling. I feel like I might be lower than an actual skateboard because
13:47all the batteries are behind me instead of below me. But there's, there's nothing else
13:53I've driven that's anywhere near this. I've driven the McLaren 720S, if you've seen
13:57that video, very different in a lot of ways, but this is even lower than that, which is crazy.
14:08There's a ton of, there's a ton of top gear knowledge you might expect to hear about
14:12a car like this, but in the one or two days I actually have with it, it's mostly just
14:16the visual for me, all the air scoops, all the ventilation, all the aero, this thing
14:22slices through the air. You can also, because it's not a loud engine, hear every single
14:28little piece of like a rock or something that goes through the wheel well.
14:45There's something about being this close to the ground that makes it feel faster than
14:50it is. I'm looking at the speedometer and we're on a, we're on a closed road. We're
14:54not on a highway. I'm not going a hundred miles an hour, but it feels like I'm going
14:59way faster. And I know for a fact that my car is technically on paper faster to 60 than this.
15:07This feels faster.
15:08Oh my gosh.
15:15This might not have actually technically been the fastest thing I've ever driven,
15:19but it feels like the fastest thing I've ever driven. By the way, all of the interior footage
15:23you just saw was captured by this tiny little camera right here. This is one of the first
15:28cameras I've ever used. It's a Canon EOS M50. It's a Canon EOS M50. It's a Canon EOS M50.
15:36Tiny little camera right here. This is the one I mentioned at the beginning of the video.
15:39It's the Insta360 Go 2. It's about the only camera that would fit in that incredibly small cabin.
15:45So I wanted to give it a shout out for that. But also I've been thinking a lot lately about how
15:49I want these little tiny cameras, these 360 cameras to get better quickly because they are
15:55so convenient. And I mean, who wouldn't want that? So this Go 2 has the best video quality
15:59of anything they've made, but also because it's so tiny, it has a bunch of other cool
16:04convenient features. Y'all already know I love magnets. This camera has magnets inside it,
16:09so it can be slapped onto other metal surfaces. Or you can actually use this magnetic chest mount
16:15necklace thing. So this little thing has a magnet built in. So what you do is you just wear it like
16:20a normal necklace somewhere under your shirt. And there you go. There's your chest mount.
16:25The case it comes in is tiny. It looks like a slightly swollen AirPods case maybe,
16:30but there's a whole camera in there. And it's a multi-use case. So it charges the camera up to
16:35three times over and it can act as a tripod if you want it to. I actually got this in-car
16:40first-person footage by clipping it to a headband. And honestly, first-person views are rarely done
16:46well. It's one of those camera angles that I feel like I see on YouTube more than anywhere else,
16:50but I use them a lot. I use them for smartphone reviews all the time because it gives you that
16:55feeling like you're holding the phone in your own hand, which is the point of that angle.
16:59So in a tiny car like this, most cameras straight up don't fit between me and the steering wheel.
17:04So as I do more car videos, I want to be able to give you that same first-person feeling as if
17:10you're literally driving the car with me. And so I've done weird versions of this before, held a
17:15smartphone in my hand, held a GoPro in my mouth once for a video, and even tried holding a red
17:21Komodo with one hand, but that's not exactly safe. It's not ideal, but yeah, this I just tucked
17:25into my headband and wore it around my head and didn't even think about it. So shout out to Insta360
17:31for that. I'll link the go-to if you want to check this one out down below, but also let's
17:35collectively cross our fingers and hope that these little action cameras and 360 cameras
17:41continue to get better over time because I can see a lot of use cases where this is going to be
17:45very useful for me, especially as we do more car videos. Oh, and this is also probably a pretty
17:50good opportunity to mention that I'll be collaborating a little bit more officially
17:54with Top Gear. So you guys might've seen the tweet announcement, but yes, more car videos. I'm
17:59going to be writing for Top Gear magazine, and they're going to be helping out with the videos
18:06for the autofocus series on the channel. So we might even appear in each other's videos at some
18:10point, which would be cool, but figured I'd get that official announcement into this video,
18:15which is super exciting. So either way, that's been it. Thanks for watching this dope tech on
18:20small, fast, fun, lightweight objects. And this has been a fun one. Catch you guys in the next video.
18:28Peace.
