Fantastic flying as usual! How did you set up the equipment for going down/around the mountain tops?
Could you post the fpv cam feed as well? HD looks really good and all.. but doesn't help the people learning. Looking forward to the next one!

Hi Rafal, we are not here for education, but for entertainment :) therefore there will be no FPV feed in our videos. we change the location many times to ensure LOS for each spot, with either spotter/buddy on the mountain taking over the plane or crew closeby.

I get shivers up my back watching this, absolutely love it. Good choice in tunes as well.

thanks Brandin. Mission accomplished, I guess :)

Rafal, you're so confused. By "Training Day" he means someone else's training...not yours...and by FPV feed he doesn't mean First-Person-View....as that only makes up 90% of his videos.... So you need to listen to what he means...not what he says....it's all very clear.

hehe. I guess i expect too much, as most FPVers [yes the first person view kind] give great support! Its not like posting such a video [even on a separate channel] is such a difficult thing to do. you don't even have to edit it much!Once i get my setup to go a *fraction* of 80km, ill be happy to share what i have learnt :P

Argh, all the mountain-ish terrain we have here in AU is covered in trees.. need to find some nice flying spots! NZ is close by...

I thought it was fantastic, thanks for sharing. I'm so impressed with how far FPV has come since I started only two years ago.

thanks for the cool comments guys!

 

Rafal, there are multiple reasons why we do not post the streamed FPV footage. Once you have as many viewers as we do, you need to be careful with what you show and what you don't show. Too many people already draw (wrong) conclusions and try and get us into trouble for the GoPro footage - I can't imagine how bad it will be once we post FPV footage.

 

"Training Day" is the video I made with my buddy preparing him for our FPV weekend.
