My fourth FPV video summing up the last 6 weeks. I'm getting more and more comfortable being closer to the ground, especially since I bashed my falcon up a bit and realised it can take a bit of a beating.
Highlights of this video would have to be the goals on our sportsfield, and flying at night for the first time (ok it was dusk, but it was too dark to see the plane LOS)
Enjoy!

NICE video , love the beats you selected to go with it too.

And love the fact that i can see you use a Glider for for, and Pan/tilt on the cam

Thanks for posting Basbasti, I truly enjoyed it, more than once

-I wished i had the money for such a setup, darn i miss flying 1:1 being up there, -pretty sure the FPV could cover some of my craving for Freedom.

Actually it can't be thaaat expensive since I'm a uni student and I manage... A basic setup is around a few hundred dollars, then you just add bit by bit as you get the money. A lot of time involved, too, and a lot of patience
I also do a lot of things to save money, like using an ancient futaba transmitter (with dragonlink on the back) for control, repairing some 2nd hand video goggles off ebay and mounting these into a pair of ski goggles.

Yeah one day I hope to get a microlight or something, but right now I just don't have the budget. Also you can't fly a microlight through a set of goalposts

In Ireland you get 3points for going under the posts

Unlike the Aussies who haven't heard about a crossbar yet and still use wide posts which we dropped about 100 years ago
I don't care what it says on the profile - I'm so NOT GB!

A few days after I finished the above video we got a day of snow here in Christchurch, New Zealand (special since we only get very few in a year), So I just had to make another video of some awesome snow FPV:

Hi

I've never done FPV and looking for a similar quality in image and link.
Can you please specify in more details the hardware you've used including cables, antenna with URL.

Thanks
