Fast FPV Proximity Flying

[davemcm]

The 30mph winds stopped blowing (calmed down slightly) today so decided i better get some flight time in while i could.

Pretty difficult flying fast FPV with the GoPro on a gimbal but with the help of the OSD it started to become a little easier.

Youtube seems to have compressed the hell out of the file, so made another one rendered at 50Mbps and it's even worse!

Very nice flying.

Nice--I'd never get that close to trees with FPV.

Just curious... did you speed up the video. Kinda looks like it.

Nope, all playback is at 100%

That's some insane flying. I'm too chicken to fly like that.
I noticed you went by bike. How are you transporting your Phantom. Do you have a specialised bag?

Thanks, I'm still practicing, not been flying long at all. As for transporting the phantom, unfortunately I do not have a specialised backpack, I just use my regular laptop backpack, put everything inside (tx, goggles, spare props, spare batteries for tx / gopro and lipos), take the props off the phantom and bungee it to the front of the bag, then I usually just cover it with a bag for no reason other than to divert prying eyes lol.
