How he flies

FPV is a different discipline from a camera drone on a gimbal. The route is choreographed, rehearsed and flown by hand.

  1. Scout before the shoot

    Walk the site, find the line through it, note the doorways, wires and anything that will not move.

  2. Clear the airspace

    Authorizations, property permissions and the certificate of insurance handled before the day, not on it.

  3. Fly it until it is right

    The take that ships is usually the second or third. Nobody sees the first attempts.

  4. Cut it himself

    Same person in the edit as on the sticks, so the film matches what you talked about on the call.
