I have only one thing to told out here. We love drohne shadows, its the only way to prove that we are fliing what we are suppose to say. I love every drohne shadow in my videos cuz it shows some realness.
That's a great tutorial idea, will put it down on my to do list! Basically what I do is a fast approach to my subject - get as close as possible and use momentum to bounce yourself away.. you are using all of the stick.. but mostly you yaw & roll in the opposite direction (at the exact moment when you are the closest to your subject).. i hope it makes sense :)
If I shoot in 25fps I prefer to go with 5K, because image quality is still better, even if you have to crop in a little bit :) for 4K I prefer 50fps and in 4:3 ratio you can't shoot in 50fps
Do any of the drone simulators have something to practice chasing in them? Would love a simulated downhill mountain biker or a wakeboarder on a lake or anything really.
If I remember it right there is a gokart track in Velocidrone and two gokarts are driving on in consistently.. But I don't remeber which map exactly is it :)
No, it’s not meant for high speed chasing..and it doesn’t handle strong wind well. But for slower moving subjects ( with no strong wind conditions) yes you can use it for chasing ofc
Hey Tom, all good tips. I've found that sustained backwards flying with FPV, for me, is next to impossible. A quick circle movement is fairly simple but to come along side the vehicle and then transition to the front angle and flying backwards is very difficult for me. As I accelerate backwards the rear motors spin up the the quad always tilts up and you loose the subject in the frame. That's where I found the new DJI system with camera tilt capability would seems to compensate for this. I don't have that 'new' quad but wondered if you'd tried that side to front backwards tracking with the 'new' DJI FPV? Hope I've adequately explained the issue.
Thanks for watching.. Yeah flying backwards ane keeping your subject framed in the middle is super hard.. Maybe try to do it with a lower camera angle? Nope, I'm testing DJI FPV quad in the following days. Will do a video about it
@@tomstrojnik I've seen a few crashes with the new DJI FPV quad and the battery seems to come catapulting out! For a number of reason, that's very concerning. Also, battery life seems to be nowhere close to the figures DJI claims. Although, the 90mph speed is a tempting feature. But all the geo-fencing and restrictions seem to be a pain in the ass to me. I think I'll stick to my 5" quads and maybe invest in the Chimer 7" at some point.
Great tips doing my first proper follow shots of a mountain biker going flat out and loving it, although I did crash my drone hard on the first couple of days. I find when you're flying in tight spaces its hard to focus on the subject and avoid all the shrubs around. Especially on analogue! Thanks dude.
Great vid man! You have any suggestion on equipment for following drift cars. Having trouble finding what would be best to get the best shots. Drone and goggles and controller even
1:57 Hello. I personally think that the shadow of the drone is very beautiful when it appears in the video, I like it very much, it is the signature of the drone, many times I saw a fpv footage following a car, and I wanted to see the shadow of the drone because I wanted to know what model of drone it is.
@@tomstrojnik thanks I’ve been having fun getting use to it with the gps drone I wanna get a FPV drone but I’m worried I won’t be able to get the hang of coding
Really a good job: epic footage, useful tips, nice balance between entertainment and education plus everything is well packed. keep up with the good stuff!
Depends on how fast you are flying, i usually do it like this: Slow precision flying: 10-15 degrees Medium speed around 50-80 km/h: 25-35 degrees 100+ km/h: 40-50 degrees
I am wondering how do you insure yourself against any unwanted damage you can cause to your subjects. Drones are susceptible to many different factors like sudden gust of wind or radio interference so you can't exclude possibility that it might create a receipt that will cover repairs for other party.
That's a great question.. I recently got an insurance for my quads.. for injuries and damage.. so if the worst case scenario happens and I crash, the insurance covers the repairs
@@tomstrojnik i am filming some nice cars. Oldtimer and something like that haha its a mix, just for fun on a short „vacation“ with my dad. He rented a racetrack with friends :)
Tip 1: Fly faster Tip 2: Do dynamic movement around your subject, it will help to keep it framed in the middle Tip 3: If flying just in the straight line, try to get as close as possible and stay low.. directly above the ground.. so your subject is a little bit higher and consequently in the middle of the frame
@@stephanwibmer3446 Thanks! Yeah I know, i takes a lot of time to shoot and edit a high quality tutorial. Am doing my best, will try to post more.. maybe sacrifice some of the production quality :)
Great video! I'm about to do a motocross chase video and I would like to ask whether to use superview or wide? And what frame rate should I use for slow mo. I'm thinking of 2.7k 60fps. Thanks!
Great tips! I would love it if you would take a look at a few of mine and give any tips you could to help. I've only just started doing chasing and I do it mostly with my DJI FPV drone

Thanks Sean, that one is one of my favourites as well.. will keep using it on other projects :)
Great advice :) just got a protek35 myself so I’m happy to hear you like yours

Hey I have a question Tom, how do you move from left to right behind the car. Like what are the stick movements

@@tomstrojnik hey Tom.. what about this Tutorial? Would be great
3:25 I'm personally shooting in 4k 4:3 24/30p after stabilizing using reelsteady you will end up with a 16:19 image
If I shoot in 25fps I prefer to go with 5K, because image quality is still better, even if you have to crop in a little bit :) for 4K I prefer 50fps and in 4:3 ratio you can't shoot in 50fps
Do you use SuperView on your go pro? Any issues with props in view with Nazgul?
No, a normal wide view :) I need to have around 20- 25 degrees angle on Nazgul - to avoid props in view
@@tomstrojnik thanks dude, very good content!!

Is the DJI Avata capable of doing object chasing shots like the ones shown in the video? Or would you guys prefer a different fpv drone?
No, it’s not meant for high speed chasing..and it doesn’t handle strong wind well.
But for slower moving subjects ( with no strong wind conditions) yes you can use it for chasing ofc
Awesome video, the yellow audi chase was that shot on gopro?
Yup, that was done with Gopro Hero 8 :)

Awesome video! Does the Titan have a camera already or do you have to buy the camera separate?
Dude, rly good tips! On point! 🤙
What about using/mounting 360 cameras to better frame the shot? Great video!
Image quality is not good enough with 360 cameras

I feel you! What realy helped me improve fast was chasing 5 inch fpv quads.. a lot of times we go fly for fun with my friends and we chase each other.
Every tip of yours worth gold.
Keep up your amazing work&vids
Means a lot!
Great production, thank you.
Really nice video ! What is your go-to drone setup to chase people in action (ski, car ...) ?
Iflight Titan DC5 with Gopro hero 9 & Iflight Nazgul5 HD with Gopro Hero 8
Fantastic video! Made me want to go charge my lipos and go rip!
nice video dude! Hope to get a drone soon. As of now, I have the tango 2 pro and dji fpv goggles v1 and still practicing on simulator. I'm excited.
Thanks! Good luck on your fpv journey, enjoy it!
@@tomstrojnik Thanks.
just got a nazgul, what range are you getting with it ?
2km easily

Are there tricks to have the camera focused on the person your trying to fly around or do you just gotta get good at it?
You just gotta get good at keeping your subject framed in the center, while you follow him :) practice, practice, practice :)

I think V2 goggles work with Dji Air Unit?
Good breakdown. Love the little tips for the community Tom. Keep it up!
Thanks Robby, doing my best to give something back..I also learned A LOT from FPV community :)
Is there a way FPV drone can do something similar to the Activetrack of Dji?
Nope :)

Have you had any success chasing a speed wing with a 5 inch freestyle build like the Nazgul?
Or do you find that you need a fast 7 inch for that?
5 inch is faster :)
A great video would be a similar one to this but with your hands portraying how to get these shots with the sticks on the controller
That's a great idea! So basically to break down the moves I'm doing. Will keep it in mind
@@tomstrojnik yeap so we can put it to the test on simulator or in real life🤙🤙keep smashing it brotha

Thanks man! Around 25 -30 degrees :)
Your really good .
Thanks for watching my content!
I always set the gopro at a lower angle because there is too much space in the upper part of the video... any tips or solutions?

What is the optimal camera angle for chasing?
Depends how fast your subject is :) medium speed 20-35 degrees.. and for 100+ km/h i go with 40 degrees+
excellent, man. thank you

25-35 degrees

Hi Tom, good tips. Do you have any recommendations for filming in high wind conditions? High means about 20 knots ? Many thanks
Fly with a 7inch drone, because it's heaiver and therefore more stable in windy conditions. (for example Iflight Chimera7)

Happy to hear that!
Chasing is easy as long as you chase the object, but chasing become much more harder when object starts to chase you :) thats all about dogs :)
haha I know what you're talking about haha
First! (Hopefully)
Wuhuuuuuu
Me thinking I'm taking great fpv footage. Proceeds to Fly 6ft off the ground slow and straight. Looking just like someone holding a cell phone lmao
yes but it takes skill to hold a level horizon like that
keep practicing, you got this!
