FPV has RUINED me...

[brettbrandon]

Do you know of any simulators that have moving objects? Like cars or any type of vehicles? I would love to practice chasing things before I actually do it in real life.

Velocidrone has a couple few rotating objects but nothing that can be followed. I got Liftoff a couple of days ago and haven't seen anything like that yet in there, if so will post back.
I never thought of that but it would be cool and good practice.

Great video! You have a great eye for framing, which is something I think a lot of FPV pilots struggle with. Are you using Reelsteady?

Man - that was amazing! Seeing your video is ratcheting up my interest in FPV flying - I'm also in WA.

What video editor are you using? Really like the low level passes at high speed.

Hey thanks for the comment!
I really appreciate the compliment. I have loved cinematography my whole life and it's been really fun to completely control the camera!
I am using a GoPro hero 6 black specifically for the purpose that it plays nice with reelsteady GO. So fun!

Hey Erik!
Thanks for the compliment.
What days are you free? I'd very much like to meet up and show you all my gear and tell you about how I got into the hobby.

Hello! Thanks for the comment, I use Final Cut Pro X and it's quite nice!

I posted the suggestion to the creator of FreeRider. He said it was something that he had thought about and may try something like that in the future.

Video needs a warning...Viewers may want to take a few Dramamine before watching!

Excellent!

Wow wow wow Ross, thank you for sharing, very nice ?

Did you fly in acro or angle mode.

So thrilling to watch the low flying and sky diving shot. very cool indeed.

 

[spicciani2]

hello!
this is all flown in Acro mode. I heard from quite a few pilots that that is the best way to start out, so that is actually all I've ever flown!
thanks for the feedback

yeah there are some really great *relatively* cheap options out there.
if you really hunted, you could find a complete setup for about 4-500 bucks

Thats about all i want to spend... I just ran through 3 batteries on my m2p today and wouldn't mind playing with something else after ive gotten the lay of the land.

 

[rossmoney]

this is an absolutely incredible place to start.
this guy has been flying basically since this hobby started.

I just found this and it will be out Feb 18th with moving objects...

Nice!! I'm just in the process of building a Shendrone Squirt, have flown, and crashed, thousands of times in Liftoff. I understand what you mean about the Mavic collecting dust. The video from these new 4K cinewhoops (and bigger) is much more exciting and much more flexible...makes video from the Mavic 2 a downright yawner. Not to mention the fact that it can get you out of the DJI infrastructure and their increasingly oppressive software flight restriction. Build it and program it yourself in Betaflight...take DJI right out of the loop.

These little non-GPS quads are very hard to fly, and crash routinely. It's likely to limit their use to people who are committed drone pilots and have substantial skill at RC flying. The people who get a Mavic for Christmas and are afraid to fly it because it might crash will NOT be flying in the cinequad space, I predict.

Here's the video from about 18 months ago that kind of started the whole cinewhoop genre..."Onnanocos"
