Behind the Shot EP 1 // Speedriding the French Alpes

The amalgamation of all my favorite activities came together to produce one heck of a shot.
The most limiting factor of FPV is the necessity to have line of sight to the drone when you're flying. This one absolute is what makes filming big Speedfly lines so challenging. I (the drone pilot) cannot be standing with ease and safety at the top or bottom of some lines because mother earth does not gift line of sight.
The French Alpes were not kind to us in regards to line of sight.
Still, the goal was to be able to film the movement of performance wing flight through the beauty of some of the biggest features the Alpes had to offer. So the crew got creative.
With a copious amount of preplanning and in-field communication, the crew was able to tackle the task at hand.
I hope you enjoy the shot and can walk away from this with a bit more understanding of how much goes into these FPV shots you see on social media.
