Have you ever seen a drone video from the inside of a waterfall? Pretty sure you haven't... At least, not until now! Top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot airblastr had this crazy idea to fly through the icy curtain of a waterfall.  Instead of just waiting for the urge to pass he actually did it, and the quad survived to tell the tale.  We are told that no quads were harmed in the filming of this video, which was a Finalist at the second annual Drone Video Awards' in the FPV Freestyle Cinematic nominated video.

Top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot VerJan FPV says the winds and rain were so intense that with each dive he thought he may not get his drone back again. But he did and was able to create this remarkable waterfall diving video. He was in Gudvangen, a village in Norway that is a popular tourist destination. It is located at the end of the Nærøyfjord where the Nærøydalselvi river empties into the fjord, creating the exceptionally beautiful waterfalls you see here from the perspective of a racing quad.

He’s been creating long range, flowing first person view (FPV) shots for years, well before many of our current long range pilots even picked up a quad. Top AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot Gab707 is a legend in the industry, creating this compilation of flights back in June of 2016. The 11 day road trip was made even more exciting because the pilot only had 9 lipos and no charger with him. Seventeen flights in 14 locations have made for one fantastic video flying over Iceland’s rough, rocky, water-filled terrain.

The charming sounds and landscape of the Krka National Park, near Split, in Croatia, stood in as the setting for several of the scenes throughout Season 5 in HBO's series Game of Thrones, as the waterfalls, streams, and wooded areas gave just the perfect feel for the fictional continent of Westeros.  Here, top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) drone pilot Livyu FPV got a unique look at the nature preserve with some acrobatic freestyle FPV flying, including some epic dives over the famous falls.

Check out this fantastic first person view (FPV) drone footage of a well-known waterfall in the Caucasus republic of Georgia, compliments of AirVuz contributor levani9.  It's called Shdugra Falls, and it's located in the northwestern province of Svaneti, along the south slope of the Caucasus Mountains which form the boundary between Georgia and it's Russian neighbor to the north.  Believed to be Georgia's tallest waterfall, Shdugra Falls is accessible via a roughly five mi. (about eight km) round-trip hike from the village of Mazeri.  

Flying over a waterfall with a first person view (FPV) mini-drone takes some serious piloting skill; there's little room for error and a crash is tantamount to a loss.  How about flying in formation over a waterfall - ie, chasing another quad?  This takes us into the realm of highly skilled and experienced FPV pilots.  Like top AirVuz contributor nikofilmz.  He chased a fellow FPV pilot over the Shoshone Falls on the Snake River in the USA state of Idaho.  Watch how he is able to stick to the lead quad flying through the mist! 

Top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) drone pilot Ruben Caser brings us this outstanding FPV waterfall diving video from Australia.  The target of the dive is Lal Lal Falls, which is located in the Moorabool area of the Central Highlands of Victoria, the southeasternmost Australian state.  The falls are formed by a roughly 100 ft. tall (about 30 m) basalt column, over which the water plunges into a ravine.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in September of 2022.

Sit back and take it all in with this 4K, cinematic, crazy-fast waterfall dive by drone pilot bjarnerimi fpv.  The flying skills are definitely a touch above most and the location is enticing and exciting with plenty of room for epic, quad-busting crashes, but our favorite part is the air-to-air action. Not just one pilot conquered the terrain, two did. From the base of the falls to the top and back down, it’s one entertaining flight.

JrisYangFPV created this amazing first person view (FPV) video of one of the world's highest waterfalls.  It's the Jiao Lung Waterfall, and it runs down a cliff near the town of Alishan in Chiayi County, which is in the western part of the island.  It's a plunge-type waterfall with a drop of about 600 meters, or around 2k ft.  The waterfall is seasonal, and (as you might expect) flows heaviest during the monsoon season.  It's not easy to reach, so one can imagine the skill it takes to take it on with a racing drone!

Hold on for an epic ride over the largest waterfall in Europe via first person view (FPV) mini-drone, compliments of talented AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot gab fpv.  In one shot, he took his racing quad over Switzerland's Rhine Falls.  With a modest height of 23 meters high (around 75 ft.) and massive width of 150 meters (490 ft.), the falls has recorded water flow as high as 1.25k cubic meters/second (44k cubic ft./sec.); by any measure, it's the most powerful waterfall on the European continent.  

FPV pilot mrgeeseeks hikes all the way to the top of a mountain to send his quadcopter diving off the edge with a giant waterfall in this wild flight. The flow of water he chases runs such a long distance that the waterfall seems to nearly dissipate before it reaches the ground below.

In the last couple of years, the great waterfalls of the world have caught the attention of first person view (FPV) drone pilots.  As piloting skills and long-range control technology have improved, FPV waterfall diving is now officially a "thing".  Exhibit A is this amazing video of Europe's tallest waterfall.  FPV pilot suicide quad donned his video goggles to tackle the mighty Vinnufossen falls in western Norway, the sixth tallest waterfall in the world.  Its four drops total 860 meters (about 2.8k ft.) in height! 

Take a first person view ()FPV) dive down a magnificent Hawaiian waterfall in this short-but-amazing piece by AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot Hellinger.  Diving waterfalls with an FPV quad is not for the faint of heart; if anything goes wrong, the possibility of recovering a useable quad is vanishingly small.  Shot with a GoPro Hero 10, the dive is flawlessly executed, as the pilot makes a nice 360 degree spin on the way down.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in September, 2022.  

Check out this first person view (FPV) drone video of a dive down Switzerland's tallest waterfall, compliments of AirVuz contributor Dani Doncel.  It's called Mürrenbachfall, and it's located near the village of Lauterbrunnen in the canton of Bern, near the geographic center of the country.  The waterfall consists of five (5) cascades totaling a drop of just over 1.35k ft. (417 m), making it the country's tallest falls.  It's one of several notable waterfalls in the Lauterbrunnen Valley, which sits at the foot of the Bernese Alps.
