i have a friend who just got a DJI FPV (he came from Mavics) and recently I saw him fly multiple runs directly towards a small group of more friends an pull up just before them (centemetres above their heads). Immediatly walked over and told him "dude, thats 850ish gramms of metal with spinning blades on it flying towards people at ~80 km/h and anything can fail anytime"

thanks for this Tips, really helps me alot. Because im used to flying on my own and now its my 1st time to fly with a group. im afraid of not getting a chance to fly on a epic spot, because most of the pilot are wanting to go fly next. I guess setting up rules in a group would be better, like setting up a queuing to everyone in a group. so others that are shy will have a chance to fly on the spot and not wasting all the efforts to prepare. Thank you Again!.

@Pile_of_carbon 4 жыл бұрын

I think you covered it all. Well done! What I think is the most important bit though is don't give people a reason to call the cops and/or law makers. Also, communication, communication and more communication. Learn from the military. Those guys talk non-stop and repeat the important bits so that everyone knows what's going on. If you see something important from above that the spotter missed, call it out. "Dog-walker behind the barn." Everyone answers.

Most of the time I fly solo. For a few reasons, but I feel like I get more productive training sessions when I’m solo. I used to fly with a group but it started to feel like I was in high school, in a bad way. Everyone was more worried about everyone else and where they were flying and too arrogant to help other people with tips so I only fly with a couple people now and it’s much better that way!

If you *must* absolutely plug-in in the middle of someone else's flight, be sure to announce your frequency and intentions clearly. I've had someone plug in while I was diving a lighting pole by a beach a quarter mile away, which resulted in my FPV feed being hijacked and my quad got dunked in salt water.

Thanks for the video! I guess this is really helpfull for beginners and very entertining for the advanced pilots thinking back into some funny situations 😝🙌🏽 One more thing: dont start off your drone full throttle next to someone. If something happens and the kwad goes crazy it will razorblade your buddys face. Ah - Also don't arm your kwad when your friend is holding is in his hands... or is just about to lay it down... 😝

Hi Kenneth, so you really don’t need a FAA license part 107 thats if you are filming & getting paid for the videos. Don’t need to register drone if less than 250grams or .55lbs & not doing part 107 flying. Ham license never heard of that rule but I have one before I got into fpv. Hope your journey of fpv is going great.
