FPV Pilots to Watch - March 20, 2020

Take notice...this is the future of promotional marketing.  In this great specimen, flightfx gives us a fantastic take on the Innovation Center at the Buffalo, New York Medical Campus.  Cinewhoop flights like this make it easy to forget that this footage was captured with a drone.  Instead, it just seems like we've been given the best preview of a new context; the flawless flight and fantastic editing are practically an afterthought.  For all of that, it was an easy decision to place this video on the FPV Pilots to Watch listen in March, 2020.

Each and every week brings a new wave of fantastic FPV videos to AirVuz, and we have the fun job of watching it all to share the best of the best with our enthusiastic AirVuz community.  We take our sweet time to then pick a short list of FPV pilots to feature each week, and we pack them into this cool reel because those we select are no doubt committed, talented, and they share their wares here on AirVuz (this is where the best FPV footy lives, after all).  So be a sport and *show your support* with a Like, Comment, and a Follow.

FPV pilot kupaaa_fpv was fighting the coronavirus in his own way, with the help of his drone and some crafty editing. While living in China, he was certainly attuned to the fear people had of the 2020 pandemic, and he also was aware that this same fear could be mitigated a bit with a little lighthearted humor.  Watch as he flies his quadcopter in a fighter pilot-esque way to shoot down and conquer the virus, alongside some appropriate tunes.  We happily put him in the mix of our FPV Pilots to Watch List in March 2020.

Drone pilot VANDALfpv has clearly packed a lot of FPV diving goodness into this quick (and quickly paced) flight.  He got all cinematic on us when he made the most of the quiet Tulsa city center, showing off some pretty nice climbs and dives along the outer edges of these skyscrapers (one of these is the Bok Tower, which is said to be a replica of the World Trade Center in New York City and was designed by its same architect). This talented pilot, also on the Gemfam Hobby team, was added to our March 2020 FPV Pilots to Watch list in recognition of this sweet flight.

In this exciting vid, our own Team AirVuz pilot NurkFPV made sure the chase.is.ON! He went out into the California desert with his Rotor Riot pals and chased after some pretty capable dune buggies, FPV style.  He used his Project 399 SuperG Frame, DJI FPV goggles, and Go Pro to make sure we all got the best views of the fast-paced fun.  And who wouldn't want the wide expanse of the desert for a playground, Rotor Riot as your partner in crime, and some dune buggies to cruise chase?

Ok...watch this fantastic 29 seconds of awesomeness which got top AirVuz content creator and first person view (FPV) pilot Nikofilmz on the FPV Pilots to Watch list in March, 2020.   Our contributor and his flying buddy Carter fly in formation high above the Sierra Nevadas in Sequoia National Park.  Keeping another quad "in frame" is not easy, and far less so when you're surfing California's gigantic mountains.  The view of the lead quad makes for some very impressive visuals, demonstrating the incredible creative potential of top FPV pilots.  

Top pilot Vasiliz created this insanely good submission to be a drone pilot at the Audi Nines event in Austria, and we're quite happy to see it here on AirVuz too! The video will show you how dynamic FPV videos (essentially, chasing a "moving target") can also be highly cinematic.  Chasing skiiers and snowboarders performing stunning tricks with a racing drone is not easy, and generating footage as cinematic as you'll see here even less so.  It made for an easy decision to put this one on the AirVuz FPV Pilots to Watch list in March, 2020.

AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) drone pilot Fincky is one of the world's most talented cinematic FPV content creators.  In this fantastic piece, you'll see how he's upped his game by adding some VERY cool VFX tricks to his FPV flight footage.    Starting with some beautifully smooth and cinematic FPV footage over the floor of a desert, he adds a series of CGI images to create a truly "other-worldly" visual impression.  This very creative video was chosen for the AirVuz FPV Pilots to Watch list in March, 2020.  

Just when we think we've seen the coolest bando for FPV, pilots like former Drone Video Award winner TomzFPV go ahead and really rewrite the script.  Check out this amazing freestyle flight around the abandoned cast iron factory known as the Lorraines Foundries and Steelworks in northeastern France.  It's been out of use since 1991 and decaying ever since, but its giant blast furnaces have been preserved for prosperity.  With his epic flight that hits all the gaps, this video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in March, 2020.  

For a totally new perspective on Indonesia, check out this fantastic first person view (FPV) trip reel by AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot Ivan Merino.  Starting with some shots of his resort room, he then proceeds to fly over, through, and around some of the most iconic scenery in this giant Southeast Asian archipelago.  Rainforests, streams, waterfalls - there's something for everyone.  Perhaps the most impressive sequence starts at the 1:06 mark beginning with a fly-through of a heart shape perched in front of a waterfall.  

Most of us have seen incredible drone footage of Germany's iconic  Neuschwanstein Castle, but never the likes of what first person view (FPV) pilot TimFeistner offers up in this video.  While the stunning landmark in Bavaria was closed in response to the Coronavirus pandemic, this skilled freestyler found a silver lining and used the opportunity to cruise around the castle and it's breathtaking environs. Diving the "fairy tale" spires, he gives us a tour that's most definitely not on the usual sightseeing agenda
