It’s fine to get too technical in the FPV community. No really. Not only can these pilots can take it - they expect it. First Person View (FPV) goggles give these pilots an immersive flying experience, allowing them to dynamically control their mini-quads while they dive, roll, and cruise around the obstacles they encounter at any given moment. Each FPV set-up is customizable by each pilot too, from the specific goggles, drone frames, controllers, and propellers to the limitless options for transmitting the video footage itself. But enough with the jargon already...the point is that these birds are incredible flying machines deserving our respect, and the killer tricks performed by these pilots are never to be underestimated! Congratulations Tomz FPV, our Freestyle Technical winner!
Kudos to the nominees in this category! When you feel like making a ‘bando’ out of this page, you’ll find more great technical footage in our Freestyle Reels, Trainchasing, and Best of Bandos collections.

Top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) drone pilot Tomz FPV is a Team AirVūz pilot who's constantly pushing the sport of Freestyle FPV. In this edit, he pilots the most thrilling lines at a very unique and appealing bando making this arguably one of his sickest flights of all time. Proximity? Check. Dives? Check. Speed? Check, check! With this flight he's rolled, power-looped, and driven himself into the winners' circle at the second annual Drone Video Awards in the FPV Freestyle Technical category.
FLY RIDE - MTB x FPV Drone

Join FPV master airblastr while he races through the woods chasing a professional mountain biker! The lines and cinematic shots he's able to capture are one of a kind, as they were taken at a super-high speed that's only possible with a nimble, yet lightning-fast racing drone. This cruise through the woodland track around the biker will blow your mind (and perhaps push your heart rate up a few clicks as well). This video is a 2nd Annual Drone Video Awards' FPV Freestyle Technical nominee.

The Lakhta Center, which was completed in 2018, stands nearly half a kilometer (460 meters, or about 1.5k ft.) above St. Petersburg, Russia. It is, by a significant margin, the tallest building in Europe. While it was being built, contributor and FPV pilot Controlflow took an epic dive down the building using a racing drone. As you watch it that the drone is being flown via video goggles at ground level. The dive has made itself a nominee in our 2nd Annual Drone Video Awards FPV Freestyle Technical category.
Old Factory in China / Best Flight EVER #justone

- about 7 years ago
Some of the earliest spots for freestyle first person view (FPV) flights were abandoned factories. These sites offer countless opportunities to show off technical flying skills, be it dives, hitting gaps, hard turns, and other tricks of the trade. In this outstanding piece, AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot Gespar goes full on beastmode in this bando in China, ripping it up inside and out. His dives, proximity, and speed earned him a nomination in our 2nd Annual Drone Video Awards for FPV Freestyle Technical.

Quarry Bay is an area beneath Mount Parker in the Eastern District of Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong. It's known as an industrial and residential area that has skyrocketed in the last couple of decades. Speaking of skyrocketing, comradewang.fpv does just that while powerlooping a section of the historic district. This quick edit will leave you a little dizzy and a lot inspired to get on the sticks. This video is a Finalist in the FPV Freestyle Technical category for the second annual Drone Video Awards.
