We get things kicked off with more leakes regarding DJI’s Flash FPV drone. According to the most recent reports, and a couple of unboxings, DJI’s first fpv drone will have the capability to shoot 4k at 60 fps, as well as  120 fps in 1080. Another major factor will be that this FPV quad will have a flight time of 20 minutes per battery! The full combo is said to include the drone, controller, and most up-to-date DJI FPV goggles. Release date is said to be early March.
While on the topic of FPV, this latest project from Team AirVuz Pilot Gab707, along with fellow DRL pilot Jordan Temkin aka Jet, may be one of the coolest action sports projects we’ve seen filmed with FPV drones yet. Over the past few weeks, Jordan and Gabriel have been working with the Natural Selection Tour out in Jackson Hole, Wyoming as part of their YETI Natural Selection Snowboarding Tour, which was also sponsored by Red Bull. 
To say it was a fantastic decision by the  Natural Selection Tour to implement FPV footage, would be an understatement. Plus, adding Jet and Gab, who are also avid snowboarders and skiers, was the absolute perfect match for this project. When talking with Gab over the weekend about this experience he said, “Riding a board and flying FPV have some very similar vibes. It's all about focus, lines, flow and finesse of execution. It's always an incredible experience ripping down a mountain with some of the world's best athletes, working my best to compliment their run. Nothing beats everyone being stoked on the shots at the end of the day.” Well Gab, after seeing some of the footage, we were stoked too. Keep up the fantastic work!

Now, since we’re talking about epic drone content, might as well stay on that trend. How about some AirVuz drone videos of the week?!? Here in no particular order are the top-5 videos uploaded to AirVuz last week:
