...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

Betafpv XKnight 35 (review & comparison to Smart35)

The newest 3.5" sub250 Freestyle copter from Betafpv the X-Knight 35! Is it as good as the GepRC Smart35 (my current fav quad)? Specs and links below!

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).

was Bardwell wrong? Caddx Polar Review & Latency tested

Is this Lowlight DJI FPV cam from Caddx to slow? Is the latency unflyable? How dark of a night can you actually fly? These questions and a few more will find answers in this video ;) Thanks Caddx for sending me this review sample! Make sure to comment (with the right password) and maybe win one of 2 Caddx Polar cams!

A4 Skyhawk - Maidenflight...

...fun day at the field (except for 2 ;)

also: see how Hulk Hogan lost his Easystar... Really happy with the drone footage quality - what do you think? I finally started using the InstaSMO4k (but in 2.7k30 4:3 mode). Stabilization is super smooth!

Granite Blocks and Castles on the Rocks (Waldviertel vacation Part 2)

On our vacation in the "forrest quarter" of Lower Austria, we found many of those typical rock formations (granite) and it was very nice to hike thru this woods. Once such a majestic castle was on my radar we of course had to go over there too!

First Castle: Rapottenstein Ruins: Arbesbach 3rd spot massive rocks near "Luaga Lucka" / Altmelon

how handy is a 3.5" Drone on vacation?

We took the conveniently small drone with us on this trip to the "Waldviertel" (wood district) which has a nice reservoir (first part), lot's of castles and ruins to explore and very nice wood trails. Make sure to stay tuned (aka SUBSCRIBE) to see the 2nd part (with more stone formations in the woods and impressive castles).

Thanks to my lovely camera girl for the great external shots!

3.5" is my new freestyle favorite! GepRC Smart35 Review

GepRC directly sent me this drone for a review and after first flights it was clear to me that I would fly this much more than the usual few flights for a review. Since I didn't feel pressure I could collect enough flights to give you a serious compilation of different spots and thoroughly test this copter. With those small sub250 drones (but flying like a 5" freestyler) you have access to much more spots than with the usual 6S 5" beast which screams through the whole city ;)

Hollyland Lark150 Wireless Mic system review

Got the chance to test out a wireless mic system! Since I thought about buying the R0de Wireless Go already, I did some research to find out - this is a direct competitor. Find out with me in this video, if the sound quality is sufficient, what are the features, how handy is it? Tested it against some other quite good mics.

Spoiler: I like it and you will HEAR a lot more from this system in my future videos :) Hollyland @Amazon *: https://amzn.to/3ocYEmq Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PKSYWM8 Hollyland @Videodata *: http://bit.ly/HollylandLark150

►Some tips: Savetrack recording will only work on connections with 2channels! Obviously! (phone connector = NOT, because 2ch Headphone, 1ch for mic on those cables!) Getting rid of high frequ noise? Lowpass filter to 9000hz sounds about right and reduce the Cam-Audio level while increasing the mic level (Sony ZV-1: Audiolevel 20 and Lark150: 18) ►Dimensions: TX units: 37*37*17.5mm, 21g RX: 67*41*20.5mm, 51g Case: 121*61*43,5mm, 227,5g ►Contents: 1.
