James JAB Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hi All, Here is some recent flights were I got to meet some local FPVers, the weather was not great but I had great fun chasing other objects around the sky and just couldn't resist getting among the trees.

Handyman Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hui James, are you by any chance flying on Cannock Chase near Stafford. Just curious. The area seems familiar. it's a cracking piece of film and you had me cringing a couple of times, when the trees seemed scaringly close. Please post some more when you have time. I love them.

stu knowles Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Amazing flying. Very impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James JAB Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 @Handyman Glad you had a fly along with me. This location is near Burrator Reservoir (seen at 1min:15sec), Yelverton, Devon. I had never been to this location before and I couldn't stop grinning when I saw the woods, I just wish it was better weather for the day. @Stu Knowles thank you for your comments, it was great fun chasing another plane and quad in the air for a change.

Phil Green Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Fantastic as usual James. Keep them coming! Wish I could fly like you! Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Very good, I see you had two cameras on the quad, was the bottom one for the FPV and the top one (Mobius?) used in the video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Smashing video James. The standard of filming and flying is fantastic. But, secretly I was just a little bit pleased to see the final collision with the bush - it proves you are human afterall and you can - very occasionally - get it wrong just like the rest of us! I was beginning to wonder! BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James JAB Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 @Frank Skilbeck I use the bottom camera (Sony PZ0420) for my live video feed to the goggles. The top camera (Mobius wide angle lens) is used for recording the flight which is what you see in the video above. The reason I use 2 is that there is lag (<1sec) if only using the Mobius for the live feed and the Sony also handles low light a lot better and is lightning quick to adjust. @BEB Glad you liked the video and flights. I think the crashes have to be added every so often just to show how fast some stuff can just appear in the goggles, the good thing with the Spanky (most mini quads) is you just flip them back over and carry on If your not crashing then your not flying enough. In these flights I am using an unusual setup of 5x3 2 blade 3k carbon props at the front and 5x3 3 blade Gemfan props on the back, it gives that little bit more torque at the back for shifting forward and is a nice stable fly. The reason its like that is because I ran out of the 3k carbon ones as I am waiting for delivery Edited By James JAB on 28/08/2014 23:39:09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
