The Possum Pilot
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 3 พ.ค. 2020
I'm Russell Spurlock and I love to fly.
For the past 5 or 6 years, I've been a pro drone pilot. I've had the good fortune to work on some incredible projects as a drone op for TV and film and have gone to some amazing places.
Well now it's time to take the next step in my life... I'm going back to flight training to become a commercial pilot... flying airplanes and hopefully even jets.
So I hope you'll join me on this journey as I go from Drone Pilot... to Jet Pilot!

Florida Flying can really be beautiful
I flew an IFR flight plan in the DA40 from New Smyrna to Page Field (KFMY) Fort Myers, FL and it put me right through all the cumulus clouds along the way. Makes for a pretty awesome view!

This is actually awsome, thank you!!! Working in ifr rn
3:03 Lock horizon is 100%, yet the horizon is clearly off center. What gives?
Hello. Are you pursuing a career in aviation or flying for fun?
Now I just need connectors small enough for my 2.5 frame 😅
hey ! Does it fit the Micro V2 Version ? thx
Congrats! How long did the Sheppard program take for u starting at atp in two weeks with credit for private and was wondering if i realistically have time to get my ifr written out of the way.
Awesome 🔥👌 Thank you!
Can i still get the printing files ?
Is the FIA similar to the CAX about to start studying for my FOI And FIA
So I just started playing with this and I noticed that the time code generator is about a minute and a half off from the clock on my phone. Where is it getting the time from if it's not from the phone? How would you make the app sync to the slate? For me I don't think it matters because I don't really need the correct time as long as my go pros are all at the same time, but I'm very interested in understanding how this works... Thanks!
Recently, a cool 3rd party Windows application from FutureVideo is a new version Multi-View HD Pro 2, which will read the GoPro timecode for simultaneous synchronized playback of 8 views on a single or multiple screens to preview before going to post. It also does rough-cut editing. It also imports the .LRV proxies so it's instant viewing of any video without the need to render.
It looks like HERO12 and 13 are directly compatible with that FutureVideo software. GoPro's website offers a free download of more advanced GoPro Labs firmware that should make HERO7 - HERO11 also compatible. So, the software should provide synchronized playback of footage from an assortment of HERO7 - HERO13 cameras.

Are those antennas better than the stock ones?
I just started using Gyroflow and this is a great video, Thanks!
I'm trying to do a multi cam video edit with 3 go pro cameras over about a 2 hour period. Apparently the time wasn't set right on the cameras so the video is not lining up. Can I use the tool mentioned in this video to get the time code synced between all the go pro clips? Is there a better way? I'm pretty new to working with video so please forgive my ignorance... Thanks!
Brilliant
Sick
You’re brilliant thank you so much for sharing
Thank you so much for this video because I’m an FPV pilot first and I do not want to fly any other way however I am going to be working on construction sites, but I still want to fly fpv
Thank you!
This is for the O3 unit right?
Great landing
Sweet
Beautiful!
Very nice flight
Right on center line! Lol 😂
Looking good !
thats great man. I just installed mine. Can I ask you in witch mode are you flying when you fliying with goggles ? GPS ? ATTI ?
Hi , is the Inspire 2 have more signal breakout with the air unit ? Because i would Like to setup one
The Gopro 12 has a feature that jams other Gopro 12s with the same time code. Got any updates on that?
Yoooooo very nice design!!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Did it need any oil?
What mount did you use
Thank you, this helped me out a lot!
Does this drift persists on all framerates 23.976 24 25 29.97 30 fps?
excuse me sir, how to get the gopro tc data to excel? Thanks for advance!
Awesome looks a lot like what’s on part 107.
a lot of it is for sure!
Love! ❤
Fascinating to see you pull that bird apart. It got me thinking, why not tap into the video out on the remote controller and display the main camera, but then there is already a HDMI out on the remote. I see that some goggles have HDMI input. Couldn't you then switch between the FPV camera and main camera using the configurable preset buttons? I'm not a goggles user, so I may have missed some crucial aspect, but wouldn't that work also?
Perfect!
hey do you feel the APC props are well-balanced from the factory? the noise I'm hearing from the 5 x5 APC props doesn't sound like its well balanced.
Good luck R!
Inspire wasn't/isn't rendering accurate timecode perfectly? A $20k drone specifically built for and sold to filmmakers? If you can get it in a DSLR, there's no reason on earth you can't build it into a drone that costs ten times as much as a pro DSLR body.
Normally you don't find The Sound of a drone to be very pleasant. But there's something about the mavic 3 that I love 😊
Brilliant to use Google Slides to make electronic flash cards! Accessible on the phone, anywhere...
Nice to see there is a community of career 2.0 pilots who are in training on TH-cam! I found you through Tren't channel... Looking forward to educating myself from your other and future videos!
Thanks! Been searching for hours to figure out how to use the Added Command section on the app.
Congrats! Well done!
