DJI FPV Cinematic drone race through the woods while camping in Michigan

- While quarantined at our campspot of the UP I picked up a new hobby flying FPV. These were some of my first flights cruising through the woods and surfing the trees. I was flying a bumblebee HD with the DJI transmission system using the DJI controller.
FPV stands for First person view as this was flown with a set of VR like goggles that give you a cockpit like view of what the drone sees. While my view is good the camera you see this from is a gopro mounted on top of the drone.

What is FPV? Simplified for an FPV Beginner.
FPV or First Person View is the most unique experience of interacting with your aircraft through a level of immersion that is unparalleled by anything short of virtual reality. In its most basic form, it takes you, the pilot, and transfers your visual consciousness into the body of a fast, agile, and precise flying machine. It gives you a whole new and awe inspiring view of the world around you that only those who fly FPV get to experience. There are really about three different schools of FPV multirotor flying; racing, freestyle, and aerial photography. There’s nothing saying you can’t do more than one of these, or all three! They each have their exciting aspects and there’s a community out there to help support you through your journey.
Freestyle Flying
Freestyle flying is all about your environment, your multirotor, and the interaction between the two. It might be finding that new gap that your multirotor barely fits through, dodging ghost branches as you dance through your local park, finding cool new locations in which to explore, or finally learning that new trick that you saw on someone’s flight video. Freestyle is a form of expression in flight, more focused on acrobatics and exploring your environment. Freestyle also has the added benefit of helping to prepare you for racing by pushing the limits of your multicopter through learning control. As an FPV Beginner, this is most likely where you will start in your journey!
FPV Racing
FPV racing consists of flying either solo, or with a group of other pilots, through a series of obstacles, flags, and gates. As with all racing, the goal is to get first place, either by beating all the other pilots to the finish line or getting the best time on the track. While this may sound simple at first, most tracks will not only push the limit in terms of speed, but will also test your ability to maneuver your multirotor through all aspects of control. Many races come down to who has the fastest reflexes and can find the best line in the track.
Aerial Photography
Aerial photography is just that, viewing and recording whatever your chosen subject matter is from the air. This is a great way to explore the world around you, and gives you a unique experience of taking your photography literally to a whole new level. Aerial photography also has many practical uses, such as showing unique views of real estate, area mapping, or even filming movies!
How a Multirotor Works: FPV Beginner
A multirotor has four control points; roll, pitch, yaw, and thrust, and each of these work both independently from one another and can work together to create more complex movement. Let’s start with an exercise to show each of these controls. Hold your hand out in front of you palm down. Rock your hand from side to side, that is your roll. Now, tip your hand forward, then backward, that would be pitch. Keeping your hand palm down, turn your hand left then right, that’s an example of yaw. Last, again, keep your palm face down, and lift your hand higher in the air then bring it back down, there is your thrust. Now, when you start to combine roll with thrust, your multirotor will shift either left or right. When you pitch forward the multirotor will start to move forward, and when you pitch back, it will move backward. Yaw is generally used to change your heading, or the direction your multirotor is facing. The more thrust you provide the faster the multirotor will gain altitude, and the roll and pitch effectively change what direction is truly up.

Really liked this video
Nice Flight man!
I have been wondering what happened to you! I was hoping it was nothing catastrophic that happened during or after your Arctic trip. I was hoping no porcupine had chewed through your plans causing you to sell your fifth wheel and go back to the corporate world. You have been missed and I hope you are back now to share your travels with us! Welcome back!!! I hope to see a lot more of both of you from here on!! WELCOME BACK
Very smooth flying!👍👍👌 great location!
Thanks! It really is a great spot for flying!
Very good job
Amazing video! what rates do you fly with?
Wow, better flyer than me, that's for sure, that was smooth. BTW I could of swore I passed by you the Friday before Labor Day heading out of Shingleton on 28.
Really cool video, Tom, and some great scenery to be sure. Am glad you shared this; have wondered how you and Caitlin are (haven't seen you online in some time!).
Y'all Be Safe!
