Flying Backwards a Game Changer for Phantomrain

[Phantomrain.org]

Recently I posted an Instagram of this expert Pilot running thru some incredible gateways, truly impressive flying.
See below

I have struggled with this type of flying as I just could never see when I was Past the Point I was flying to flying forward relying on my eyes and the camera.
. I Use to blame this on Camera Delay. But it was me not being able to see when I was past my point of interest an not the camera delay..

Flying Backwards unlocked that missing piece of the puzzle.
Seeing your Target pass behind you in the camera, lets you know exactly when you're through the target.

I have to admit, there is an adventure to this type of flying, the same as flying in the Rain and in a Storm and I like that Risk to Adventure.

When there is no storm I might be looking for Gateways to fly thu now as I am just getting started as the Bar has been set pretty high as seen below.

Today I tested out a gateway less than a 1000 ft away flying the Mavic 3 Pro from inside the car and will work on flying out further and finding more impressive pass thru's

To put Perspective on my flight the Building was at 650 ft

I did this run about 20 times to get a good feel for it, and what I am going to do next is just back the car and up that Hill and try to make that same run at about 1100 ft , im curious if I can manage that.

Or just fly the scene normally and reverse the footage in post. The lazy option. Only catches you out on beaches as the surf is going out backwards

I an not able to do it going forward as i am going backwards because its very difficult to judge when you are thru the gate way or point of interest going forward.

How many times have I flown out to a Tower or ridge and thought i was right on top of it , when I was 100 ft behind it.

I think they had two cameras on that drone. It’s not possible otherwise.

No, there is no Second Camera as he has shown repeatedly on his videos as he has many, but they are all of him flying backwards. As noted flying backwards allows for a better understanding on the Air space your flying thru.
