So we're here at the DJI, and who are you? So I'm Adam Lisberg. I'm the head US spokesman for DJI. We're the world's largest maker of unmanned aerial vehicles. And we have the majority of the market share. What you're looking at here is the state-of-the-art consumer drone that we make. It is wildly popular because of all the advances that we've put into this. This is small enough to toss in a bag right now. But as you see when it unfolds, this turns into a compact but powerful drone that you can use for almost any purpose. So they're built for different purposes. The Phantom 4 Pro that we have on the table over there has a much larger image sensor. It has a 1-inch image sensor. It has a mechanical shutter.   This is an incredible drone for doing that. What are we looking at here for the camera? So this is a protective dome that we put over it. We like showing it with the dome just because it looks cool. But once you have it off, you can see this camera is on a stabilized gimbal so that as you're flying and moving, it keeps the imaging locked on. DJI is an incredible drone company. You've got that right. Yeah, we are the world's leaders. We don't really sales figures, but independent analysts estimate that we have about 70% of the market. And what you've seen increasingly is that what distinguishes drones is the software inside them, the firmware inside them, the processing power that goes into them.  It has on the bottom here these two sensors that can track your height from the ground. So for example, if you're flying along a hillside, it will make sure that you stay at a consistent height above the hillside instead of becoming a very expensive shovel. One of the interesting things that it does is when you take off, it shows a short burst of stereostopic video. And so when you push a button and say, return to where you took off, GPS will get you within a couple of feet. It will then go back to that video, compare it to what you're looking at, and say, OK, here's exactly where it took up and land within a couple of inches of where you took off. There are also autonomous flight modes in here that let you say, I want to follow this person, this object, this device. And I'd like to follow it from behind. I'd like to track alongside it and get a moving shot.  I'd like to keep the camera focused on that person, or car, or bicycle. While I fly the drone around it, you can do all that with this. That's very high order machine learning that goes into that kind of processing power. And we've packed it all into someone you can put in your pocket. And friends in Mavidia's technology also, and what's the software, and who's doing the software? So we are responsible for our engineering. DJI has about 2,000 engineers, hardware and software. So we reckon we're a very engineer driven company. We don't put out products because the marketing department says, people demand a drone that can do this fancy thing. It's the engineers who say, we wanted to challenge ourselves to do something that's never been done before. Let's take a look at what we've come up with. And let's get it out there so people can use it. Tell us about those image sensors because they really deliver a superior image experience, 4K video in some of your products. What about the development of that technology and the sensors and the lenses that you're using? Yeah, we have become an imaging company as well. 10 years ago, DJI was about figuring out how to spin four propellers around so you could get something off the ground. And once we solved that problem, it became how do you stabilize a camera by coming up with a gimbal system that even when you're moving a drone around or it's being buffeted by the wind, it will keep the image smooth. And as we solved that problem, we said, why don't we create our own cameras that are optimized for flight and can still deliver that kind of image quality. And now we are making very high-powered camera lenses for our professional series of drones. We're in a partnership with Hasselblad, which, you know, everyone knows about their kind of image. What's the biggest challenge that you have when you develop a technology like this?  You know, I'd hesitate to say that there is any one enormous insoluble problem. It's a lot of small problems along the way. And a lot of it is coming up with how do you come up with the processing power inside a drone to do these tasks better while managing your batteries?  They're spinning around quickly, trying to keep this in the air. But a non-trivial part of the battery life is devoted to the processing power that goes into this. There's an incredible amount of computer imagery and even more with the bigger drones that have more features that are necessary for professional filmmaking. That they need to be chewing through enormous quantities of data in real time to accomplish the mission while flying. So it's, you know, they're more and more flying computers. I think that's one of the trends that you're going to see in the drone industry is 2017, is that we'll, as I say, we're moving higher up the stack that more and more of the technology problem to be solved is in the processing side, it's in how to gather enormous quantities of data, make sense of it all, process it quickly, turn it into actionable information. Can you show us some of these? What is that about? What is going on here? So this, the screen you see on the left there is a high-intensity controller, I'm sorry, a high-intensity display screen called Crystal Scott. And that's designed to be used with our Inspire 2, it's our newest filmmaking and discussions for our quality drone. It is, that has approximately four times the brightness of your standard smartphone or tablet. It's designed so that if you are shooting a movie in broad daylight, you can see very precisely what you're shooting without having to hide under a hood or work under a screen. What's the software over here? This is software, this is an example that I was talking about how, you know, for your enterprise demand or our software for drone applications, not just buying a drone and figuring out what to do with it. This is a new program we've put out and it should be available in the Apple App Store today called Ground Station Pro, and it helps you define how to fly a mission. If you want to create aerial mapping, if you want to create 3D imagery, how do you capture the data necessary to create that? So it lets you define an area, a perimeter in which you want to shoot, that lets you define waypoints that you want to move around, it helps calculate the most efficient flight path to accomplish that goal. This is in conjunction with other third-party mapping programs, pardon me, but we also make it available through our software development kit so that if you are inventing the next generation of 3D imagery capabilities, you can simply build this into the system. I'm developing the higher-order solutions and we want to show just how versatile an enterprise tool the drone system is. That helps the drone to navigate extremely well and it's right here in front of the system.  I'll give you, why don't you get it here? This. A series of photos. That way you can see it. Yeah, I'm sorry about you. So is this technology from a drone? So this is the three-axis gimbal technology that we use here, and in our fan, they're Mavic, that's now handheld. So yeah, you can see. How much does it cost? How much does it cost? 300, $2.99, rather. It's been available for a while, or? So in this color, it's just available now, but its black brother has been around for about five months now. And you can turn around like this? Yeah. It's steady. Yeah, so it takes a regular shaky iPhone photos that you might have with a video and turns it into nice, smooth. How long is the battery life? Three hours.


Stress shows up different for different people. Each of us cope differently and it's also important to recognize that everyone's circumstances are unique. Some of you may be able to go home for spring break to visit loved ones and some of you may not due to travel restrictions or limited resources. During this time you want to be mindful of what forms of self-care work for you. Some forms of self-care that you may practice may be focused on mental well-being, physical well-being, or social well-being. Examples of mental well-being self-care include limiting your social media exposure. You want to take time to unplug. Make sure to stay informed, but don't overload on social media. Other forms include focusing on what's within your control and avoid excessive worry. Some tips for managing worry include scheduling worry time, write down your worries, cross off what's not within your control, and throw it away. That will help you feel more calm, less overwhelmed, and more in control. Another way to practice self-care is focused on physical well-being. Moving your body, engaging in physical activity. You may want to go for a walk and get some fresh air. When you do that you want to focus on your surroundings. Use your five senses to be in the present moment. That'll help you feel more grounded and calm. You may also want to check in with yourself and your breathing. Make sure you're taking deep, full breaths. Other ways to focus on physical well-being include sleep. Develop a sleep routine that will be relaxing and calming. For example, 30 minutes before bed. Do not use any electronics. You may want to take a warm bath, write down five things you're grateful for, listen to a guided meditation, relaxation, practice, drink some tea, whatever it may be, find something that is relaxing and calming. That'll allow you to get better sleep. Nutrition is important too. You want to eat balanced meals. Make healthy food choices because that'll boost your mood and make you feel more energized. You also want to stay hydrated. Social well-being is important as well. While you may want to isolate and socially withdraw during this time, given the circumstances, it is very important to stay connected. Find creative ways to stay connected to your loved ones. For example, you may send them a note or a message expressing your gratitude, your appreciation. Make a weekly phone call or FaceTime call to your loved ones. You may also engage in random acts of kindness. That also helps to boost our mood and lifts our spirits. During this time, I really want to emphasize the importance of practicing kindness. We want to be kind towards one another. We want to check our assumptions and ways to do that are remaining curious and being compassionate towards others. What they may be going through and how we may be able to support them.


Right? It's really, really important. Let's move on. And this is, this leads us to, you know, the whole idea of warming up and what it means. So, why do we need to warm up? I think there's been a lot of chat about going to the gym and nutrition and stuff. The social side is not much different, to be honest. I look at daygaming a little bit in the first hour or so. It's like, if I go to the gym, I don't start off with the biggest weights I can handle. I go for the weights that perhaps lead to those weights I can handle. So, I'm starting off with the smaller weights and then I'm building up. And that's the sort of thing I think you want with daygaming where you're going out and you're heedful of the fact that, right, I need to warm up.  So, whatever it may be, there's like, to this day, I might use an opinion opener to, which is like, goes completely against my ethical daygame standards in terms of like, opening up girls and the way it should be done. But if I need to warm up, I need to warm up.  Make sure you leave the girl with a good bit of vibe and that's all that counts.   And that's just me through me warming up. How beautiful is that? So, you can, the practice of it can be very, very simple as well. Like I'm talking opinion opener, shop girls are amazing. You've got in Melbourne and I'm sure you have all over the world.  And you can just go over and just strike up any old conversation. Don't go for the number.  If you do go for the number, don't go for the number. Just like, just appreciate that you need to warm up. So the first 10 sets, I would say minimum, especially if you're first starting out, the first 10 should be throwaways, right?  Right. Visualization, just a few things that really helped me out. I'm not a very spiritual person or anything like that. I'm a beautiful man from Tottenham in London. It's a bit of a hovel and I've never, ever like had any spiritual inclinations, but visualizing is ridiculously potent. It's unbelievable. Like I have had moments where I've visualized certain looks. I've visualized like the hair. I'll visualize the sort of girl that I want in the next few days and I've constantly just visualized it and I've visualized taking her back. I visualize that she ends up on my bed. I meet her on the street and she beautifully ends up on my bed, right? And it happens more like, more often than not, it just happens. I meet that particular type of girl and just for some reason, like because of my energy has been flooding towards that intention.  So it's, it's, it's sometimes I even forget that I've, I've kind of been visualizing all that. I just sort of visualize it and I leave it there. And like a few days later, I just happened to bump into that situation that I've been visualizing.  So that really, really helps me. This one here, oneness, I should do the laser thing. Oneness from within to without. Again, a bit of a spiritual thing that I do, like that it comes back to warming up and how effective it can be because at first it's like any activity. The best tennis player in the world, Roger Federer, he still has to go on to a tennis court, even in the first round of, you know, a rubbish competition. He still has to warm up. Still has to warm up for two hours. This guy's played more tennis than anyone else, right? No ego about it. He just has to, he's not one with the racket. He's just woken up. He's played yesterday, but he's woken up today. He's not one with the racket. And what, you could be a surfer. You could be a disjury do player and I'm being a bit Australian specific here, just for you lot. But what I'm saying is like you've got to be one with whatever you're dealing with.  Yes or no?  We're talking to sometimes my own mates. I'm just not one might, you know, when your brain is just there's a disconnect when you first wake up in the morning, you know, you've made coffee with that same espresso every day and you're just like, fuck, I've just like, I've missed out putting any espresso in there and I've just gone for the power button. You know, those days, it's kind of like that you just need to warm up and there's nothing wrong with it.  So definitely make use of it. So yeah, that's what I'm talking about. So I'm talking about that place you reach. We all have it. It's usually at the end of the day. Is that a surprise?  Really, really important. Now, I touched up on this, but I'm going to go over again, long-term versus short-term improvement. What I mean by that, as I said, in day game, it's so, there's so many like highs, like I think a lot of people don't keep to day game. Very few people I know that actually stay the course and become really good at it because it involves such hard work. Now, there are two, there are two graphs going on, I think, in your improvement trajectory just in life generally, and the first graph is where you're affected by anything, like during the day.   I've won $50 out of nowhere. That's beautiful. But that doesn't affect you as a long-term person. Do you see what I mean? That has no long-lasting effects unless you just master the art of winning $50 every day. You hang out at the right spots every day. That has no robbing grannies, just one example. But what I'm saying is that has no long-term effect on how you're going to end up as a man. These isolated incidents, it's the same with day game. Like the first number you get, the first few amazing vibes you get has no effect on your long-term status. Your core is still your core. This is why day game needs years, because you're developing that other bit of line that goes up very slowly, that other line, that core, that doesn't get affected very easily. The little highs don't really in the short-term have no effect on it. So what you've got to watch out for is, and appreciate, is the fact that you're developing but slowly. Yeah, sure, you've had a high or you've had a low, but that's when you, it's like if you zoom out from that, if you zoom out from that, that's going like that but very slowly, very slowly, it's going up. This, it's not that, it's that. This, it's not that. So in the long-term, it means nothing. So yeah, the longer like, I always thought three years into it, I thought I had it sussed.  You just develop in a richer way. What's beautiful about day games? You do it on your own watch. You do it anytime, anywhere. I've had crazy, crazy experiences that I couldn't even sort of like dream of, to be honest. Just through day game and just through going out there and time and time again, failing, getting up, dusting myself off, going at it again. And I'm going to show you a clip in a bit where it's a bit surreal, she gives me a really good interaction, but I've had a hundred fails before that, to get to that level.
