Been practicing some freestyle flying - here's a video recording from my FPV Goggles, the recording has lesser quality than what I see live, in the Goggles. The action cam was not filming since it was just a practice session.



I think DJI users get so comfortable flying with all sorts of asisst, like Altitude hold, position hold, and self levelling, that they never attempt to fly in acro/sports modes, if the drone supports full manual flying without any assist. It is hard to do it in LoS flying but you shouldn't miss the fun of acro flying if there's an FPV system.

Re: The Drones Thread - Reviews, Tips, Advice

Took a tumble today while practicing low-altitude FPV maneuvers in some tight spaces. Then the post-crash jitters kicked in - the fear of making the same mistake again. But worrying about it wouldn't help. So, I strapped back in, took a deep breath, and sent it for a full 6 minutes straight!



It was thrilling! Stayed clean throughout, did some flips too.

Re: The Drones Thread - Reviews, Tips, Advice

Ripped through the skies above Varkala Beach today. Battled some nerves, but so glad I went for it!

At one point, I flew over a kilometer away through the beachline, and the quad lost radio contact and it triggered RX failsafe. During another long-range straight flight, I had to fly blind for a couple of seconds when the FPV feed died. The video feed was restored just when I was about to flick the switch to GPS Rescue, so turned around gracefully and continued the flight.

Here's the footage – hope you enjoy it!

Can DJI users give this a try?

Any references to DJI service in Bangalore? The gimbal in my Mavic Mini is stuck and I am looking to get it fixed.
