Tested in the High Arctic, Day 7

Over a week into our trip, and Norm starts suffering some problems launching the DJ Inspire One. It’s time to problem solve. Back on the ship, we chat with Tom Scott about his adventures exploring the city of Qaanaaq.

  1. Holy Cow! That was my Birthday too!

    (I know that’s not that incredible because the odds are 1:365.25 that I’d share a birthday with him, but still)

    Also, I must now investigate Infrasound Detection..

  2. IMU Initialization crippled the inspire for most of the rest of the trip. we think it was related to temperature, but couldn’t replicate the problem back onboard the ship. the phantom had no problem making its flights!

  3. That’s kinda weird — YouTuber’s running into one another on far flung tours. Is this the brave new world? I’ll checkout his video.

  4. Tom Scott explained it in one of his videos: Basically Quark Expeditions asked Commander Hadfield if he would come onto the KK for a speaking fee. He said he wouldn’t do that, but he would in exchange for 12 berths aboard ship. Norm and Joey were among those invited to come along. The normal guests paid about $25,000 for this same experience (!)

  5. The craziest thing about this expedition I’ve seen has been seeing Tom Scott on Tested, and seeing Norm and Joey in Tom Scott’s videos.

  6. Man ,that’s a pity. Did the DJI guys have an idea on what happened and why the phantom didn’t suffer? I wonder if it was faulty hardware or if every inspire would suffer the same issues in similar circumstances.

    You did capture some amazing shots for as long as it lasted, though 🙂
