FPV freestyle is a drone flying technique that evolved out of drone racing, where it's all about capturing epic footage from an HD camera mounted on an FPV racing quadcopter. Drawing an analogy to the world of cars, if drone racing is like the Indy 500 then FPV freestyle would be taking a Nissan GT-R out on a mountain road for a spin. The FPV location could be an empty office park, an abandoned building ("bando"), a forest, even a downtown skyscraper on a weekend. While the best technical FPV freestyle pilots know how to make cinematic content, technical FPV freestyle is more about the technical flying skills and tricks: flips, rolls, power-loops, proximity flight, and hitting tight gaps. In this collection, you will see the very best in technical FPV freestyle from the world’s top FPV drone pilots, Aerial Photo taken from: Martian III the Indestructible by AirVuz content creator LO-FLI FPV.

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.

She says she decided to rip around a bit while waiting for skiing season to start in the French Alps. What she got was an inspiring flight barrel-rolling over the frozen ground, diving through the trees, power-looping around the side of the mountain, and smooth flying. This was a DVOW Finalist and also a pick for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in December, 2018.

Featured on AirVuz social media pages, this is a great example of the emerging art of Dynamic FPV flight.

The Matty Flip is one of the most advanced maneuvers in technical first person view (FPV) freestyle flight. Named for the legendary Canadian FPV pilot MattyStuntz, it's basically an outside powerloop, in which the pilot pitches the quad forward and uses its momentum at the bottom of the loop (where it's inverted) to carry it through back to an upright position. Hard to describe, and of course much harder to actually execute. If you check out this stunning piece by AirVuz contributor and pilot Ivan Marino, you'll see how it's done.

When a quadcopter is upside-down, the forces of gravity and the drone's propulsion push in the same direction - straight down. That's why the powerloop is one of the basic maneuvers of technical FPV freestyle flight. In a powerloop, the pilot uses vertical speed to carry a quad into an inverted position and then uses its momentum to complete a loop. It's not an easy trick, and it's infinitely more difficult if there is a something in the way - say a large building like a city hall. That's exactly what KeleFPV did in this epic piece.

Watch and you'll see what it means to have thrust-to-weight power in excess of 7-8:1, where gravity is just a light force by comparison!

Spending a day out on the road just to find the perfect freestyle spot is the kind of commitment it takes to create a video like this. Shot in a lush, deciduous forest filled with deep green colors, AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot Dragon FPV has found an abandoned, former railway bridge. The bando spot is unique in its location and structure - we often don’t see bando bridges with these types of views. His inspiration, MattyStuntz and his Matty Flip, can be seen throughout the piece.

The Drone Nationals drone race on Governors Island in New York City was held in August of 2016. The race was strictly invitation-only; the qualifiers were the winners of various regional events that had taken place in the months leading up to the big event. One of the events was the Liberty Cup, which was held at the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey just a week before the Nationals. The winner of the Freestyle competition at the Liberty Cup was none other than top AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot SFPV. This was his winning run.

Before the current trend towards cinematic first person view (FPV) flight, it was all about the flying - fast, hard, and with complex maneuvers that can induce nausea in the unitiated. This amazing piece from AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot RussellFPV is definitely a throwback to the original attraction of FPV freestyle - a form of expression for pilots of their technical flying capabilities. The filming locations also represent a throwback to the early days of FPV, when locations were picked for their flying challenges.

When legendary first person view (FPV) pilot JohnnyFPV moved from Chicago to Atlanta, it sealed the reputation of the great southern city as the epicenter of the FPV freestyle world. With its endless office parks and never-ending construction, the canvas of the Georgia city is perhaps not the most scenic but far closer to ideal in terms of the canvas for true freestyle FPV pilots. In this video, one of Johnny's first upon moving to Atlanta, you'll see how he is able to use the Atlanta cityscape to show off his formidable flying skills.

After a little break, FPV pilot George FPV is back in this air with this monster freestyle edit. He’ll test his quad’s limits with the power moves he’s throwing around. He’ll take us to an empty construction site powerlooping and diving a crane and getting ridiculously close to the dangerous sands around the crane. He’ll also invert and rip up a cornfield, bare after harvest. This 4K flight earned him a Pilots to Watch nod in February of 2019.

Top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot Ruben Caser demonstrates some impressive technical FPV flying skills in this excellent reel, which was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in January, 2021. The video opens with an insane shot flying through a gap in a giant offshore rock formation. Then you'll be taken on some stomach-turning aerial maneuvers in a park, including some great tree proximity sequences. Other highlights include some insane waterfall shots, diving and then flying behind a gusher.

Inspiration can come from anywhere; you never know when or where you’ll be moved to take out your quad and fly. For example, take this video by pilot InspireFPV. He was driving home on California’s I-5 from a drone race when he spotted these massive silos. Taken in by their size and position against the setting sun, he took our his quad for a little freestyle session. The place is nothing extraordinary, but what InspireFPV is able to bring with that use of his mini quad sure makes it look special.

The very talented AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot Trinco claims this was the biggest and tallest abandoned building structure he's ever flown in. What are the benefits of a big, bad bando when you're ready to launch your multi rotor for an epic flight? Versatility, for starters. In a FPV paradise like this you can race, freestyle, and dive without worrying about the limits and hazards other spots have. Plus, in an empty location like this, you get to be boss. So go rip up that concrete Bandozilla!

For those who feel the steady movement toward more cinematic first person view (FPV) content has taken some of the excitement away from FPV flight, this piece by AirVuz contributor and pilot travelwithpatrick is for you. Shot in a park in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, this video is all about showing off some very impressive technical flying skills. Using a 6 inch Armattan Badger frame, he uses the backdrop of the park to pull off some impressive flight tricks, earning himself a spot on the FPV Pilots to Watch list in August, 2020.
