G.O.P.L.A.T -- Freestyling an Abandoned Gas and Oil Platform!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.พ. 2025
- A few months back, I had the opportunity to travel with Tac Gas to shoot with them in a few awesome undisclosed location, including this Gas and Oil platform. We had to travel a few hours by sea to get to the platform, and then climb it through the old, rusty stairs. It's been abandoned for a number of years, but it's insane to see how untouched it's remained. The opportunity to fly it is something that I'll never forget, and I hope to find more adventure out there on the high seas!

You took "no risk no fun" to an whole other level.
man the amount of anxiety in this video is unreal lol. amazing job as always man!!
you have no idea..
@@NURKFPV i can imagine lol. im shaking just flying over an open creek haha
It gets easier after you sink one 😉
I can only imagine. You did some hella crazy shit for being right over the water! Fucking amazing brotha.
This ticks so many boxes for me: ex-Navy, former offshore survival instructor, and present-day drone duffer. Definitely one of your better ones, Paul. You had a rare day for it, too. Not many days at sea look like that, at least not in my experience. . .
OMG MIND BLOWN you are by far the best fpv pilot.......
By far, the best drone video I have ever seen. Amazing!
These cinewhoop shots are cool af
Yo this is absolutely insane Nurk! You killed it with this video my man! Keep it coming please.
The look on your face when you had to step on that rusted grate to retrieve the drone summed up that whole shoot. So sketch. So good lol
Perfect place and music. Super gently on sticks to hit those tiny gaps 👊👍👌😃
Absolutely amazing footage here, I can see it being used as a point of reference for level or scene design in games or animated shows. Great flying too Nurk!
That's some incredible drone footage
Belle vidéo, agréable à regarder, la mer à perte de vue, bonne idée d'avoir exploré cette plate forme en quadri. Encore merci
What a cool and fun place to fly. Great flying and cinematography. You must have a powerful VTX.
I looked at you’re list-the Air Unit, at least 700mw, maybe 1200(?).
Nerves of steel! It takes a lot of confidence to fly through that and over water.
What an awesome opportunity! Not sure how my nerves would hold up flying in a place like this, great work mate, you're quickly becoming a pillar of the FPV community!
Your content is super dope recently. It's always been, but now even more. Thanks for your effort
What a incredible footage and skill flying in tight area. Awesome flying and control . 🦲🌟
Waooooow what a wonderful video, your flying, location, music.... Awesome work mate!
This is my new favorite video now thank you!! Iv seen all your videos but this one makes you feel it great job nurk
Crazy man! Recipe for desaster! I would not even try to fly out that micro window wirh the whoop aaaaand then you did it with the 5“!!!! Wuaaaaahhh crazy man!
How can you not get blown away by the wind with the squirt? More I term or is this al the magic of reelsteady?
Impress yourself flight 👏👏👏, a spectacular side👌👌👌, Thanks for sharing 💪
Now that's something I haven't seen before. Super sick Nurk.
Such a stunning shot! So vibrant!
Wow. I mean wow. The way you maneuvre those obstacles is way beyond my understanding.
Awesome video mate, I've been enjoying your recent uploads 👍
Your flying skills are on another level, but so is your editing! Love this video.
I need this location in Liftoff
I think even Discovery/National Geographic Channels didn't explored this much... ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🤩🤩🤩🤩
Epic footage and nice flow. You are really advancing with editing and music stuff, keep up the good work!
How dose he have video inn his goggles when he is flying around all that mettal?
Enough vtx power and you're fine
He must be using the DJI digital FPV setup, I was thinking the same thing 🤷♂️
Steve B nope analogue.
@@WildCaptures you can see his goggles in the end
Looks like an ImmersionRC Rapidefire module.
Boss moves Paul.....surely the G.O.A.T
The music fits this really well. Cool location and video!
Thank you so much!
Agreed! Love the drama!
such an epic pilot, epic footage, epic tunes..
An Fpv moment Nurk ! That was a special video 🔥🎬🎧🔥
Your flying skills are incredible!
Such an awesome opportunity and execution!
Well I thought that was a Cine Quadcopter but the shadow seems to indicate arms like a normal quad. You are so great at shooting video and setting great action scenes.
Places like that are gonna be the new exclusive real estate boom.
Wicked way to show off the platform.
Soooo smooth; fun to watch ! Cheers !
Nice! I work on those there things...lol. They are very cool until about day 28... then you get really tired of those rusty stairways, hahaha. Good stuff! P.s.- Oil and Gas work is what got me into UAV in the 1st place, kinda ironic, lol
The anxiety spikes even more than any videos of quads flying alongside with the drifters. Did you sink any kwad?
I don’t blame u for flying so slow 🤯 what an opportunity though!! Great video bro!!
Very cool. Small shut in/abandoned production platform in the Gulf I am guessing. Any quad flotation device?
There's some poolnoodle strapped to the bottom.
I don't know if you'll ever top going under a moving train, but damn man. Always impressed.
How many quads were lost as a whole within the group on this outing, i wonder. Great work brother, your flying is amazing & smooth !!
That video.....with that music.....perfection. Didn't blink for 5 minutes and 7 seconds. Please tell me the title of that awesome atmospheric music! 😳👍
Found it! Michael FK, Empyrean. Class choice. You've brought a bit of light to a shitty world atm. Stay safe dude. 🤘
Great music selection man; loved the build in it and the video combined!
Wow that was a good flight. Nailed it
That qualifies as F O T Y in my book. Amazed once again. I can’t wait to trash half a dozen quads trying that. Some solid stugats on that guy.
The wowest wow i‘ve Eber seen. Love your video.
Eber=ever
Great run .. you a few close shaves dude . Thanks for sharing
OG Triple OG, OG! Serious angles bro loving it!
man that's really breath taking great work
Where are you positioned piloting this drone
Main upper deck or below
The signal is really good!
Did you have any problems with the compass because of all the steel work???
Too F’n cool! Your sideways dodges are effortless looking. Analoged it? Nervous about DJI in this environment?
thank you for the visit
Very cool flying bro, looks like you where in the moment, what a awesome place to fpv, one day I’ll have too 🤟
Damn man! You're taking everything in this hobby to the next level. Love your work!
That was so sick. You win.
Awesome, but how do you have any signal? I fly with 200 mW behind a few bushes and already can't see shit, you basically sit inside a metal box and fly around it...
Makes me want to get a cinewhoop frame.
Outstanding Mate. I fly fixed wing FPV and I gotta say, the risk there is well worth the footage.!!. Big name movie makers should get in touch - it wasn't till recently that those kinda shots came out in the movies.
Wow Man.........smooth fly
Wow amazing 🔥👏🏻 hard place to fly 🙌🏻
Amazing footage!
im gonna build after an fpv after your videos really relying on your recommendations ✌️
Amazing!!!! Gran pilotaje con mucho flow y un sport muy arriesgado a la vez que divertido.
Amazing skills fella well done
Dude....WTH!? Amazing. I ordered my Squirt a few days ago because of your videos! Keep doing it man!
Woo! Hopefully you used some affiliate links ;-)
Wow, that will get your heart pumping.
How cool. I've always wanted to go check one of those places out
Great flying! That rig is main pass 236 B
Bro that was sick , i worked in oil and gas for over 15 years coolest way to see a rig 😃👊 Question , did u use a cinewhoop for this vid ? So smooth bro . thanks
Great flying!!
That is top skill!
Great video!
Awesome video and very entertaining. Thank you.
Do you do anything to prevent a drone from sinking near water like this?
Water bottles are effective but too big.
DAYUM!
awesome, waiting for the premiere to start...
Gonna be a good one!
My Fav FPV Video dude
Thank you
Man what a killer edit! Love the risky gaps too!
Dude, bravo👏👏👏
Awesome man! The pucker was real
Bumped the Cinewhoop and the anxiety immediately kicked in. Sooooo much anxiety. Don’t loose the drone the said. The ocean is deep they said.
Awesome flying man! Crashing is not really an option here, real different, first to do this
So incredible!
Once FAA restricts any fun flying this is the perfect formula to keep uploading - just state "this was filmed in early 2019" with every single upload lol
For that was an excellent flight !
That first footage was so surreal, I genuinely was wondering if it was some benchmark for an upcoming game. Same vibe.
This is magnificent! Where do people find this stuff?
I am consistently blown away by peoples' abilities to find locations.
Hey Paul! You have my Favorite TH-cam Channel title, right now! The past couple weeks your content has been FIRE!! #TheNurk
Solid video Nurk! What are you using for image stabilization. It's so fluid!
Dude that was amazing. One mistake and it's swimming with the fishes. Beautiful flying. 👍
Great video. And how many quads now lie sleeping with the fishes? :D
hoooly wow......sick sheeet man weel done
Ive always wanted to fly somewhere like this, so sick!
that's such an amazing spot
Wish I could see goggle view to see if any spots were ultra sketch.
Ohhh yeahhh !! Very nicee man !!
