I thought I'll start with a new thread where everybody can post his best FPV flight video. So here I start. It was my third FPV experience ever and the TBS Discovery worked like charm, but see for yourself. I can still not make any custom thumbnails so it looks rather boring but I think the video turned out quite good.


I would be happy if you rate, comment or subscribe and post your own personal best here.

Thanks. Glad you two like it. I have recently made another one:


Right now, my quad is grounded as I had a crash from about 25m hight for no reason. I guess it was a bullet connector. So I am waiting for replacement parts...

Wow! Switzerland is beautiful. You are very good at flying in those tight situations. Did you do any post-processing to your videos? They are very smooth.

You have inspired me because I have a dilemma. I want to fly up to buildings like you have, but I don't like flying with too many people around (just in case). I am going to see if there are any historical buildings in the parks around me so that I can practice.

Sorry to hear about your crash. I too had a crash as well from about 10 meters that I still am not sure what caused it. I just hope it never happens again. 25 meters is quite the fall! Did it break everything? Mine broke 1 arm, 2 props, and 2 motors (they were too wobbly) and half my frame (bottom half).

Switzerland is very small so you better be good to fly in tight situations:)

I know how that feels because I also do not like flying around with a lot of people. This is why I hiked to a place with a ruin in the forest. So I was flying with very little people.

I broke 2 arms, the GPS, 2 motors, some wires and 2 props. Up until now, I still did not get the spare parts. So I have ordered a second quad as mentioned, the QAV400. But this has not arrived either. So I have to wait. Luckily, I still have some footage to process.

I just started with the first part of a 5-episode series. I will upload one part every Thursday so make sure to sub. The series is called FPV - Swiss Gold Coast. Part I is about Wine & Beer:

That is a really nice video and again, excellent flying. I have never seen that view of the trellises like that. I heard about some guy over here that makes money flying his RC copter and looking for irrigation leaks. Apparently, he makes $2000 USD an hour doing that. Looks like you could do something like that over where you are. Or Swiss Tourism videos :).

Hopefully you have your parts by now. Waiting for those parts when you can't fly is a bummer.

I subscribed to your channel on youtube. Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I have health issues and have my good time periods and my bad.

Having fun and making money at the same time, that sound like a great job. I would even make it for less than 2000 an hour. I was thinking about tourism videos or the like, but I still have a lot to learn before I think it is would be ready for something like this.

The parts to repair my Disco have not yet arrived, but I have just received my QAV400. This will keep me busy for the next few evenings. I wonder how this CC3D will be. My next project will be a gimbal, but one after the other.

Thanks for subbing. I hope you have one of your better times right now. Did you do any flying recently?

Have finished an other part of my series

I watched your series last week and it is beautiful. Your videos are so entertaining to watch and I think you're ready.

I haven't done any flying for a while but tomorrow is Memorial Day in the USA. I'll fly my machine tomorrow and hopefully find something worth filming with it.

Thanks mate. Too nice of you:) I think for professional videos, there is still to much wobble in the videos. Part of it was cause due to a faulty esc or the like which caused the crash. I have finally received the parts for the repair.

Have you been able to fly on Memorial Day and make some nice video? I luckily still have some footage to edit, so I have made the 4th part (the 5th will be the best one IMO). Watch in HD and pump up the volume:

Zwyser you're videos are still pretty awesome. Great piloting skills. I went to your website looks like you're building the tbs pro. You got any videos for that yet? I actually have a folding quad that has a built in gimbal system except mine is carbon fiber type. Here's the maiden flight video.
