...found three new spots in the amazing "Höllental"

A day off, good weather - roaming thru the "Höllental" (hell's valley) to find new spots. Also had the larger Chimera5 with me for longrange mountain flying - but ended up driving around, listening to "Happier than Ever" and eventually pause on random spots with the small Smart35 which is big in fun!
Here I have the NebulaPro on again, in 4:3 mode and applied a superview filter (I always try to include such details under "Equipment" below btw.

Ride&Fly S02E03: Longrange Dives with Chimera 5

If I got you started on "Drone Dives" - check my playlist - I've done quite a few in the last years. Early on I called it wingsuit style drone flying ;) Exactly from these 2 spots here I did seperate dives with a gopro if you need better quality video. But the new quads and DJI 50mbit mode make it so easy to fly longer - but I seldom want to carry the extra weight of a gopro... It's also 300-400$ less of a risk to fly just with the DJI cam :) ►Mountain DIVES

Runcam Mipi or Caddx Polar?

Mipi is definitly faster (in photography terms - fast shutterspeed, less motion blur) while Polar gives the overall nicer and smoother image! See the full review to decide which cam you like more! I'm not so sure if many users will like the Polar on RTF Freestyle quads tho (looks like new quads now rely on Polar/Mipi since they're the only option with stock :)
While filming this I could definitly feel the advantage of 120fps (DJI cam) for freestyle flying!
All flight scenes in the beginning were after sunset and they are in order of filming. So it was of course getting darker but I flew them back to back with little time delay. It's a difference like day and night ;) Yet they share a lot of common properties: 60fps HQ mode only, no cam options to be set (except with solder on joystick...) 16:9 only (but with wider FOV than DJI stock) Small, cheap, AVAILABLE - better than Nebula (except their Pro version).
