Video Piloting using a RC electric glider with an on-board Hi-Def camera and live downlink to video goggles.
This beach is called Porto das Dunas (CE-Brazil) and I am flying near the Pacoti river, which unfortunately had a brown coloration this day, due to the recent rain. Wind was the usual 30kph, so it barely moves forward when gliding headwind.
Notice the (non-intended) "touch and go" on the rocks... On my first attempt to land fpv, I started too low/far, gave it a little thrust and ended up too high. On my second attempt, I removed the video goggles and got nearly blind by the sun reflection on the sand, so I thought the glider was a little closer than it really was. When I realized it was over the rocks, I gave it full power to recover. It still touched its belly and wing tip on the rocks, but was able to climb again to land safely on the sand. :-)
Hope you enjoy. Comments/suggestions are welcome.

  • Great Video. Does your HD camera provide AV out to your downlink while recording? I recently purchased and HD camera but it won't provide an AV out signal while making a recording.

  • Yes, it does feed video out while recording. Cheers,

  • Hi !! Wow really nice.... Where do you got this "kit"

  • 5 stars.

  • Hey Crashz9, nice to see you here! I love your vids, specially on the desert.

    I agree with the future of FPV in HD.

    That bule/purple water coloration is really interesting. The water is actually very dark when seen from the ground, but from the top it reflects the bright blue sky and gets amazingly beautiful. So you can only see it like this when you are flying. ;-)

  • Love the HD cam with panning. I think HD is going to be the future of FPV systems. All the blue colors of the water are amazing. Nice place to fly also....

  • AWESOME!!! 5 STARS
