 Hey guys, welcome to Rotor Riot. I'm Lajrib and this is Community Spotlight where instead of us making videos for you, you make videos for us. We found some awesome FPV drone videos from the community and we want to share them. Hopefully introduce you guys to some new people to follow and get these guys some more subscribers. So let's get right into it. Our first category for this community spotlight is Sick Tricks and Rips. So good all around FPV freestyle action. Starting off, we've got Insane FPV. Really high energy song and what I like is he's got a good mix of styles and definitely has flow. He's got some crisp tricks, some fluid tricks. He's got, oh that crisp inverted yaw spin, like that was hot. And then he goes over here and does some maddy stuff and then he's also got some flowy, splashy sort of things. Tight proximity, these tall trees look like they'd be a ton of fun to fly. I like how when he power loops up, he's able to keep the trees in the field of view the whole time as he's going up and just crest right between them. Really well done. I've seen a lot of clips from Zane and he is always, he's always a strong pilot. Our next featured pilot is Orbi FPV. This is just too epic. This, oh, I love the effect that he put when he hit the ground and it like shook and all that stuff and just really high energy tearing it up. Oh, and I like that going through and then back. Super cool. And this fog man, when he gets up there, it's like he's, it looks like he's like in the clouds. It's just fog but like that's just a really cool effect and what a great spot. That dive though, that dive right at the beginning. That's what hooked me. It was like, oh, that is awesome. Next up, we've got Jubal Spano with another dive clip but he's going backwards through multiple gaps. You're giving Corey Tapp a run for his money on this one. Cricket, what, I'm bam. Two gaps. I know cricket would be impressed. This video is by Farouk FPV. Guys, watch this whole video. Link in the description to this video and every video we're featuring and this is just a great freestyle video. I was captivated by the whole thing. It's got a very nice bluish color grade on it and the style on this. It's, I don't know how to describe it. There's something unique about this guy's style. That right there was that. That movement when he's coming out of this swoopy thing and it locks into the orbit, it's that, I don't know how to describe it but it was really cool. I just find myself watching that one bit over and over and it's just coming in and whoop. Don't press pause and run it back too many times because this whole video, like I said, is great to watch through. So just sit back, take it in and enjoy this one. Awesome work for Farouk FPV. Our next category is micros. We want to show some love to the little guys. We don't feature micros enough and they are so much fun and a great way to get into the hobby, they're less expensive, a lot low risk to fly. You can fly them indoors and they're getting more and more capable. Some of these clips, some of the things that these micros are getting capable of, mind blowing. So Christian Jordan Tesoro, look at this. It's Mattyflip and then back into the Powerloop and I had to rewatch that a couple of times because I really thought that he just reversed the video but he didn't. You can tell from the timer and the other OSD elements but like that was really cool. And man, just that he's doing these tight Mattyflips in this proximity tree area. Look at that, it was really close. What a time to be alive. All right, here is another crazy micro trick. Look, what was that exactly? So he looks up, snaps back and as he's snapping back he goes up into this light fixture and corkscrews through the gaps in this structure. It, I'm gonna call this a snap back corkscrew. It's so cool, so cool. So guys, something we like to do with these community spotlight videos is pick one of the videos that we feature and do a giveaway. And this time we are giving away a Rotor Riot HD One Frame USA edition. So we've done a limited edition run of the Rotor Riot HD One Frame and some of the carbon is made in America. It's cut in Ohio and it's something we've wanted to do for a while and if it goes well, hopefully we could expand it and continue to do some USA editions of the frame. So this is just a trial limited edition run. The top plate features laser etching of the Rotor Riot logo. It's kind of like that US themed t-shirt we have and I think it looks really cool. So if you guys wanna support some drone frames being cut in America, you can pick up an HD One US edition on the Rotor Riot Store and one of the pilots that we are featuring here is gonna get one of those for free. Let's get back to the videos. Our next category is location. This is Tofu number 10, FPV. It is beautiful. I just love those mountains that just jut up out of nowhere. It's just skimming them and he's got the cinematic feel, really chill music. I just, I like the style of flying. It's really well flown for the location. He does some dives and things like that but for the most part it's just very like mellow and letting the scenery speak for itself. Here we have George FPV and the title of this video is This Is Not A Simulator. And I can see why he called it that because it really, there's something about it. I don't know if it's the color grade or if the boats are really just that vibrant but gosh it just looks like almost CGI and the flying is also really crisp. George is always bringing the fire. Great location, great use of location. Keep killing it George. You're always impressing us with the stuff you do. So everybody loves getting to fly their FPV drone in cool locations and another thing everyone loves is chasing things. We all love getting to chase cars, boats, whatever. So this next category is chasing things. So Seps here got to do some super bike chasing on an actual road course and it looks awesome man. I mean, I love seeing the angle that these guys are at from a really unique perspective and he mixes in some like B roll where you get the audio and you get kind of the third person view of what's going on and it's really cool that you can see the bikers and actually see the drones right on them and then right here, boom, that's the shot we all wanted to see. As soon as you saw the bikes, I know what you thought. You're like, are they going to go under a wheelie? And yes, he did. He got to go under the wheelie, excellently done. And just the speed that these things are going at is not going to be easy to chase them with the drone. You can't fake it. Cause I mean the angle that they're leaning out through the turns, like they're at speed. And so the pilots are having to keep up with them and like that it's, I love it. So here we have another chasing video but this one is a little bit lower energy, but it's still super impressive. This guy is getting to chase some skiers going through very fresh powder and it is so pretty and he's playing everything and in like slow motion. So you're seeing the powder come out from like the skis just like in this cloud. It's just, it's just really nice. And I think a lot of it's sunset or sunrise, whatever, but the sun is at that perfect point where the lighting is just looking gray. It's got the long shadows, but I just, I just love the effect of that powder coming out. So chase everything, just chase all the things. Here we have Alex Krider doing some air to air, AKA chasing a wing, getting to chase other RC aircraft is one of the things that like really inspired my love of RC flight. Just air to air footage is always so fun to watch and so fun to do. And this is fast. You don't see a lot of this where the wing is really at speed and low to the ground and the quad's able to keep up with it. Seeing someone not afraid to push their wing a bit. That's, you know, cause wings, they don't, they're not necessarily as durable as our carbon fiber drones, which, you know, will bounce off most things. These wings, the foam usually is gonna break. So when they're willing to push it and do some stuff, it always makes for a good clip. Our next category is progression. That is one of the most fun parts of FPV. Trying to improve and get better as a pilot and then helping other people improve, helping other people learn new things. So we've got two clips here. This first clip is by Tarek Jelani Maccabee and they're sharing their progression and learning what I like to call a reverse split S where you flip upside down and then pitch forward and shoot under a gap, kind of like a half matty flip. And they're working on it with this light post thing which is a great obstacle to learn on because it's nice and tall, so you got lots of room for air. And, you know, it's cool seeing the progression, seeing the failed attempts, ultimately getting to a real clean execution. Seeing people learn new things and improve as a pilot, it's always inspiring. It makes me wanna get out and keep pushing myself and learning new things. And now in this progression video, we've got a pilot hoping you guys learn. This is a trick tutorial. I love trick tutorials and I love seeing pilots try doing trick tutorials and sharing their knowledge and their own way of approaching tricks and their own style. So, Roto here is doing a sideways power loop and he's got this trick on lock. Might be the cleanest sideways power looping I've seen. This guy, I've actually had my eye on. He has got a lot of really impressive videos. Definitely check out his channel, not just for this really helpful trick tutorial, but all of his flying is really, really great. So, like this video isn't even his best flying, but I wanted to feature this clip because I think it's so excellent when pilots go out of their way to try and help share their knowledge and their skills and help everybody improve and get better. I gotta get out and work on this stuff. He's got some good tips here. I need to find myself a branch and start doing the loopy things. And that brings us to our final category for this episode of Community Spotlight. And actually, I don't know what to call this category. There's only one video. Just look at this video I stumbled across. Look at this, look at this video. This guy only has four subscribers and this video at the time of recording only has 27 views. I don't know, I just think it's a cool video. There's way too much effort put into this video for to have so few views. So, check this out. But I think it's really funny. He's doing the Star Wars thing. He's got quad wars and so he gets to the FPV and it's like the in cockpit view. And we've seen this before, but I just feel like he takes it to the next level because he puts in the animations here of the pilots in the cockpit. And then there's the over the shoulder look. Look at that, he's got the over the shoulder going on. And then he's editing some like tie fighters that he's chasing and stuff like that. So, just really fun, really creative. Definitely put a lot of effort into it. And I just think it's a fun video. So, check this guy out. All right guys, and with that, it's time to pick a winner of the HD one frame. And this time I'm going to pick Orbi FPV with that epic behind the stairs dive because I really wanna see you go back and get it clean. So, hopefully you can build up a whole new drone and not be afraid to bash the hell out of it because the HD one is a really tough frame. Great job Orbi FPV and great job everyone that we featured here. We hope that you will check out all these pilots. Again, links in the description to all of these awesome rippers. I'm Ledriv, this has been Community Spotlight and we'll see you next time.
