FPV Pilots to Watch - January 17, 2020

Every week brings a new wave of fantastic FPV videos to AirVuz, and we have the fun job of watching it all to share the best of the best with our enthusiastic AirVuz community.  We pick a short list of FPV pilots to feature each week, and pack them into this cool reel because those we select are no doubt committed, talented, and they share their wares here on AirVuz (this is where the best FPV footy lives, after all).  So be a sport and *show your support* with a Like, Comment, and a Follow.

Check out this incredible flight by Team AirVuz pilot Tomz FPV, in which he chases Alexis Pinturault, the most successful French skier in World Cup history. As both an alpine ski racer and Olympic medalist, Pinturault offers some fun FPV pursuit around the gates while the racing drone tracks all of the arcing through the fresh powder.  With all of the high energy footage, it's no surprise this video was a collaboration with Supersize Films for Red Bull, and why Tomz was named to the FPV Pilots to Watch list in January, 2020.

Time to get up close and personal with Multnomah Falls, in Oregon's Columbia River Valley gorge, courtesy of FPV drone pilot mrgeeseeks.  Watch as he climbs hundreds of feet up, skimming against the picturesque waterfall, readying for his jaw-dropping dive.  After plunging down the initial drop, he  then continues on to the next stretch of the fast flowing river.  These dives showcase both precision and nerves of skill, making mrgeeseeks an easy pick for our FPV Pilots to Watch list in January 2020.

You won't want to miss this highly cinematic reel by top FPV content creator, FlyLifeCo.  In it, we're treated to the very best in west coast scenery, evoking pure California vibes as he switches between the shots from his nimble fpv racing quad and the ground shots from his Sony A7iii.  Every edit created by this FPV pilot reflects the incredible way he both reflects and influences the greater FPV community (have you ever caught his FPV podcast?), making him an easy pick to be an AirVuz FPV Pilot to Watch.

The majestic French Alps provide a breathtaking setting for FPV drone pilot louishouiller as he shows off both the backdrop and the impressive maneuvers of some freestyle skiers.  Darting around their jumps and spins, he offers up all of the best aerial views in this adrenaline-charged edit which clearly caught our attention (so much so we named his as an FPV Pilot to Watch in January 2020).  For more great FPV footage around European landmarks, be sure to check out LouisHouiller's full AirVuz profile.

Watch as FPV pilot Jay Flies Drones takes us on a freestylin' tour through urban settings replete with high rises, cranes, stadiums, and even a charming playground for good measure.  Whatever the backdrop, he works in every chance to show off boss moves like heart-stopping dives down skyscrapers, or when he brazenly whips around that construction hook at (1:07).  Whatever your FPV fancy, this pilot has brought the goods so we put him on the FPV Pilots to Watch list in January 2020.  Watch more on his AirVuz profile!

His friendly well wishes for us all (and our drones) in his video description pretty much sum up the way this FPV pilot rolls.  He balances some epic long rangle flights over mountains with some fancy freestylin over a drift track, and he seems to make use of every square inch of those Colorado skies.  His mad skills have made him an FPV Pilot to Watch on AirVuz, and we wish him the best in 2020 too. (And for everyone's sake, that all of our drones stay in the air...) Find more of Barbicyanide's FPV handiwork on his profile here on AirVuz.

This finely tuned edit by BlinKFPV pulls in plenty of thrilling FPV: You can hardly miss the freestyling around performers on aerial silks and at the trampoline park, as well as flights around wind turbines and those guys on drift trikes.  But, it's his commitment to the idea that the 'Best is yet to come' is what really got our attention. We can't wait to see what he does in 2020, and that's reason enough for his spot on the FPV Pilots to Watch list in January 2020.  Discover all his vids on his AirVuz profile.

Looking for a front row seat to a heart-stopping feat?  Watch this wild FPV video of Base Jumping in the heart of Moscow from a highrise project still under construction.  FPV pilot craig_dt was up to the challenge and provided a crispy clear vantage point of the whole dive. We gasped a bit while we took it in too, and it made the case for an appointment to our weekly FPV Pilots to Watch list here on AirVuz.  Kudos, craig_dt!  To see more of his FPV goodness, be sure to check out his whole AirVuz profile.

VerJan FPV takes us on a wintry cruise over some mountainous terrain in this smooth first-person-view video.  This seasoned pilot, who favors the wide expanses of America's southwest as his FPV freestyle playground, flies his racing drone into the clouds and captures the ethereal views with his GoPro Hero 8 camera. All of the elements clearly came together, and the video shows why this talented content creator was named an FPV Pilot to Watch within our AirVuz FPV community. Nice one, Ver Jan FPV!

Don't miss the masterpiece by the highly skilled WestPsydeFPV, which our own phluxyfpv stated is one of the "most well-edited" FPV videos he's seen lately. This recap reel shows WestPsyde's favorite footage from 2019, showing epic freestyling moments in Moab, Telluride, and other scenic spots in Colorado; after watching it, we knew we had to name him as an FPV Pilot to Watch on AirVuz in January 2020.  Check out his AirVuz profile to discover all of the original videos for yourself!
