Drone Skills 7

The idea was to highlight the possibilities of a FPV drone to film DH, get out of the classic follow and play with the rider who guides the flow while playing with the external elements of the trail.

Hope you'll enjoy our vision.

Whilst I appreciate the skills that go into piloting a drone to get footage like this, watching it just makes me feel nauseous.

Combination of two things: it's unbelievably hard to chase bikes with an aircraft that will go to triple digit speeds in half a second, with this tight a proximity downhill that's an insane level of control. The other part is that the primary focus is being able to get 3 second TikTok ready clips of Damien absolutely shredding, which this has a couple dozen of executed perfectly. I totally appreciate that the full edit is hard to watch for people who don't fly FPV.  Watch some of the kids doing SBang videos, and this is tame by comparison.

If it's hard to chase a bike rider because the drone's acceleration is too aggressive then it's probably not the right tool to film bike riders with.

Nauseating footage...shame because those tracks are sick and the rider seemed to be ripping!
