Dude. This vid is a great start of my day off with the wife off to work . Going to fly my Nazgul all day trying to get S turns right. Thought I was the only one who flew with a low camera angle. Fly on brother, you're an inspiration.
About 20 degrees right now with a insta360go, normally 25-30. The 1.8 lens helps a lot for being able to run a lower, or higher camera angle. I started with 2.5, and when I got a camera with a 1.8 I hated it to begin with, made gaps look so small, but it's just what your used to flying, so now I want to try the 1.66 mm lens. Probably run 0 angle, and still able to race, lol
That's a low tilt but that also explains (to me at least) why your yaw tricks (and rolls) are so good. Also, I just tested 1950kv on 6s and you get quite a speed by default. So it seems to me, you don't need that tilt to increase speed. Good talk and great flight. Liked it as always.
I agree. Especially when you are flying the low angle is an advantage. Ive learned that the hard way when i go into dense forest and dont change it low lol. Its much easier to fly slow and see with low angle. I think you confirmed what I already felt. Id be better off with low angle unless Im in the mood to destroy a quad or race insane. Love the stick cam keep up the good work!!
I run 25° exactly, and I've found it's not bad at all for typical freestyle. I went to an actual professional race a month or so ago, and I was obviously way too slow. there were DRL pilots with like 90° tilt 😂 (not literally, but definitely some extreme amount) when I race in the future, I'm definitely gonna try something more like 40 or so. just to maybe keep up
Sweet setup. Thanks for sharing your view on camera angles. I tried higher camera tilt but can't get used to it and don't like the feel of anything higher than 20 to 25 deg.
@@andreaboneschi i just recently switched to props out to see how i like it. I know there are some issues if you're in turtle mode getting gunk flung into the camera but i don't plan on using that much. I do fly through stuff a bit so I'm curious as to how everything will react with out vs in.
@@TheDro I don’t have issues after turtle mode, even if the cam is a bit dirty I normally fly back to check the props and I can clean it. The downside is the grass into the FC if I don’t disarm in time when landing
Hey man, just curious about your controller setup. It seems like you have roll and pitch on the left stick, and throttle and yaw on the right stick. Is that correct? Or am I mistaking yaw for roll? How difficult was it to setup your controller that way? I've been thinking of getting into FPV but I feel like I'm the only person who prefers roll/pitch on the left stick lol
i was just wondering about your camera tilt watching your last video, and the next one in line was this upload i missed - yeah man please do make a video on pro's / con's - id love to hear from fellow mode 3 alien like myself what your take on it is. (if I didnt miss it already just like this one! ill find it if I did) vikk thanks for being so articulate, well spoken in your manner of explaining things. very helpful and inspiring for many - keep it up man! (and the tilt a bit around 20°) ^^, peace
What I don’t get is how you’re able to get up to and maintain those speeds with such a low camera tilt, you and Cricket both seem to be able to push the thing faster than the tilt would allow. I would imagine it’s a combo of motor kv with some creative inertia handling but maybe you could fill me in? I prefer running a lower tilt most of the time but would love some advice on how to step it up and get that chop chop ish going.
can you show me how to do a rewind? I love watching you fly and I've been trying to learn new tricks and how to "flow" lines. I've always just flew and done what comes naturally, but here lately I've been wanting to do my first edit and you make it look easy. I digress though, I've been working on a rewind and I can't get the throttle right and I either crash or bail when I'm in the blind part of the maneuver. I have been "framing" subjects like you showed me in one of your last videos. Thanks
You are still able to get good speed with the low angle. Or is that because you are using momentum from throttle moves. Either way I'd never guess 15-20.
That was sweet ride til the end, I'm wanting to build my own drone, what would be your recommendations on a mother board, frame and all? im only use to flying bugs drone 3, 4 and 5
Hey Vik great video like always!! One quick question, i was thinking of using fettec onewire like you do, and i see that i would have to connect the telemetry and ground pads of the esc to the FC, what about the power? How do you connect power to your fc from the esc? Thanks for the help and the great videos!!
Hey, will you show us DVR? I'd like to see what you see, I have some problems with my Foxeer Monster Pro mini, everything gets blown out so often when I fly, I played with the settings so now I see something but very very contrasty otherwise I see really bad image. Do you have any tips for this?
Another great topic. Thanks for sharing. Here I’m now down to 15, and trying to figure out the best gopro angle to go with that. 20 for now. I think a difference of 5 degrees is ok. Will try a 10 degree difference as well to compare. Any thoughts on optimal gopro angle? Inspiring when you pros share info like this. 👍🏻
How do you adjust the angle? I adjust it so that I can see the propeller when I see it with goggles. So I want to see how the propeller looks on your OSD
Very interesting video, I fly 30°, pretty new to the hobby. Having a blast learning to fly. I'd be interested in a video showing the difference between high and low camera angles. Happy flying. 🤓
I love your videos! Something I don’t understand yet and maybe could be a good topic for one of your next videos is how pilots like you cane make sharp turns. I don’t know if you get what I mean. An example is at 3:22 minutes in this video, it is not the sharpest and the tightest I’ve seen from you though, I mean that there are example more evident in other video. Thanks in advance, Edoardo from Italy.
Hey man can you please just tell me what to do I have a tight buget of 300usd and I am a bigginer I already have a gopro And I cant normaly buy things from official websites because I cant buy from them But away please if you can please pleaseee I have been looking for hours please if you can please help me
I would check GETFPV site they have ready to build ranging from all sizes but it’s gonna be hard to find any compete set 300 bucks with goggles radio etc
How do you go fast with that low of a tilt? I feel my footage looks too slow. It’s easy to slow down with high tilt, but hard to speed up with low tilt.
@@VIKFPV like your footage looks fast though? Is that just because your flying close to the ground though, if you watch my last video I feel like the speeds look very similar, but I’m at 30 degree tilt.
Here's what I want Vik.. switch to mode 2 and Mattystuntz angle.. and definitely post it on youtube. That would burn my ass if you did that and it turned out good LOL. But seriously I'm going to try lowering from 25 to 15 and see if it feels any different
You are a champion for leaving a reply on every comment. I've never seen that before. Nice!
Thanks man. Rip one for me
Agree. Awesome skills combined with awesome personality. Inspiring.
I just noticed this now too... very cool of him
At first I was here to listen about camera angle tilt, but your flying afterwards was great and consistent. keep it up
Been going lower and lower, somewhere between 15-20 right now, and am LOVING it. Definitely sticking with it for a while.

Yeah same
Nice flight, bro👌🏻👌🏻😷🤟🏻
Thanks man
what about props in vs out. what are you running these days and why?
I haven’t changed them.
It makes sense if you fly between trees as there are less chances to get stuck. At least this is my personal experience
@@andreaboneschi i just recently switched to props out to see how i like it. I know there are some issues if you're in turtle mode getting gunk flung into the camera but i don't plan on using that much. I do fly through stuff a bit so I'm curious as to how everything will react with out vs in.

Less likely to get propwash moving forward with props in, instead you have to watch sideways movements more. Props out gives opposite.
Sick. luv your freestyle style what are you running 🤔 6S or 4s battery
6s now bro. Thanks
I run fpv cam at about 15° too, I really should raise my gopro tilt like yours though, definitely makes a difference
Hell yeah 👊🏽👊🏽

hey there mate. where can i find the gopro mount?
Which strength nd filters do you use

Hey vik, what osd you recomend for a kiss/fectec build? Amazing video btw, im still looking for my "sweet spot" 25 seems nice for now
FETTEC aa one and impulse rc has one. I prefer the impulserc one just because i fly the apex and it has a slot for placement. Both should work well
Great insight!
Thanks man

Sub 20 degrees tilt FTW. I went to a lower angle to get better roll and yaw precision.
Yeah same here
great video thank u
Thanks man
Woah! You got more information about that camera mount?
Where did you get that session mount? I like that. Looks sturdy.
From bmc
Where you located i would really like to fly

Yeah it’s on my list. Hopefully soon I got some others coming as wel
Go ahead and throw that low vs high tilt in there bro.
Great video 💪🏻💪🏻
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
You are still able to get good speed with the low angle. Or is that because you are using momentum from throttle moves. Either way I'd never guess 15-20.
Some of both. That’s a good video topic
I still fly with a session too. Do you adjust your shutter speed using an Nd filter? If so what adjustments do you prefer?
I don’t. Just keep it on auto most of the time and it works fine
Will u ever go full digital someday?
Maybe I’m sure. I’m waiting on second version of DJI or tbs

How do you stabilize your video it looks amazing are you using reel steady.
Never have. This is raw

What's your prop size 5x ?
I've been experimenting recently from a 5.0x5.0 to a 5.0x4.0. I think I like the 4.80 or 5.00 prop
