I’m following the freestyle FPV vibe
flowing through the skies
a feeling hard to describe
showing it through my eyes.
Video Editing
This video helped me to push my video editing skills further and unlock new creative potentials. I plan on working on my video editing and trying to learn new tools for my artistic expression. My goal is to fully be able to express myself and I don’t want anything to get in the way.
Flying Skills
I want to improve my flying skills and plan to practice daily exploring different ways of maneuvering and integrating tricks into the flow of the flight. I’m lucky and thankful to have a perfect training grounds for FPV across the street for me to train at. It has a water tower to dive, a big field to do open air long range flying, and a section of perfectly spaced trees with gaps to fly through and around. It has been perfect in challenging me to find new lines and keep the flow fresh.
Building Skills
I also would like to keep learning and improving my drone building skills. With every new build I work on my process and skills are becoming more refined. Most importantly, I want to be able to tune the drones for optimum flight performance so that my equipment doesn’t hold back my potential. I’ve learned a lot through building drones that has helped me in other aspects of life.
FPV Community
In a way it’s like learning a new language that is visual instead of audible. As with other languages, it’s helpful to listen to and be a part of a community that speaks it. Certainly, That is one of my favorite thing about the freestyle FPV drone community. Everybody learns from each other and helps push each other to express themselves without limits. I’m grateful for all the people that have came before me in the journey that is FPV. They have helped me to get to the point that I’m at now. As a result, I wouldn’t have been able to fly without all their hard work and would just like to take a moment to say, thank you. with that said, that’s why I’m following the FPV Freestyle Vibe.
If you’d like to get into freestyle FPV check out this well written guide through the best ways to get started.
If you’d like to support me in my journey you can do so by purchasing an item from my shop.
Water Tower FPV Freestyle Fun
This was my favorite video to put together so far. It definitely helped me to push my limits in both flying and video composition. I had to practice for a while before I started feeling comfortable getting up close and personal with the water tower.

After practicing I was able to finally pull off all of the maneuvers I wanted in the video. It took a few days of flying to get all of the shots I wanted and at the right time of day because I wanted it to feel like a full day incorporated into one video.
