HI ! I'm a former professional skier from Alpe d'huez now living there as a ski instructor ! I discovered FPV exactly a year ago and fell in love with it. The sensations it gives me, are close or even better than what i felt skiing all my life and i cannot injure my body , only my machines :) !!! so it is a great deal ! I shot this video going on a road trip holiday with my girlfriend who likes looking in FPV googles and help me finding the best locations ! we did 3500 Km around France and Spain and flew 150 packs in 16 days. Pretty complicated to keep the machines in good shape during such a long period and heavy utilisation, + the weather forecast was the main decider of what we do and when we do it... this is why sometimes, you have to fly in a windy spot before the rain arrives and you dont really have the choice. I think some of my footage is a bit "Jellowy" for this reason, but not a big part of it. FPV has become my main Hobby & daily occupation in such a short period of time, cuz it represents something where i can put my whole self in. I had so much to learn to be able to build and set this machines up, then i had to learn everything on the controller cuz i never touched any before. Beeing an extremly dedicated person, and never giving up in anything i start or decide to do in life, i'm starting to fly ok these machines and thats a huge achievment for me.but the only thing i tell myself is that it's only the beggining, that i have so much to learn, & that i'm so far from my goal.I wake up every morning with a strong will to learn more and perform better. Nobody in my area shares this hobby and i did this whole process on my own. With my video from my first road trip last november in Scotland, i had the chance to be contacted by FPVpassion who helps me sharing my video on internet, and Maxime Lechi from powerloop racing who makes amazing frames and makes me test them for him. then i have a deal with HRC LIPO for some packs, and i feel extremly happy and greatful, that those guys trusted me and help me to stay in the air and keep going towards my goal wich is to become one day a professional FPV pilot. I know that i only am at the very begginig of the road but i'm scared of nothing ;) The music in this video is "Carol of the Bells" by Tommy Profitt. here is the list of the gear i use : KWAD: -Frame: TRUE X from POWERLOOP RACING -Motors: TBS Masterpilot 2750kv -Flight Controller: Betaflight f3 -Props: HQprops 5X4.3X3R V1S -ESCs: TBS BULLETPROOF 25A DSHOT600 ESC -Fpv cam: Runcam Swift 2 -HD cam: Gopro Session -Rx: TBS crossfire NANO -Vtx: TS5828S Micro VTX 5.8G 600mW 48CH Mini FPV Transmitter -Antenna : TBS Triumph 5.8Ghz FPV GOOGLES : -FatShark HD3 -Furious FPV true D -Antennas: Mini Patch 8 dBi RHCP 5,8 GHz Immersion RC + TBS Triumph 5.8Ghz -Homemade Mono EarBudd CONTROLLER : -Taranis X9D+ Special edition MR STEELE -TBS Crossfire Tx LIPOS : -Lipo Dinogy Graphene ULTRA - 1300mah 4S 80C That's all Folks, ;) i hope you enjoyed it, and thanks a lot for watching !
