AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
We all know that first person view (FPV) mountain surfing requires some very skillful piloting, but how about mountain surfing during the low-light twilight hours?! And who better to take this on than top drone racing pilot Gab707, who can lay a fair claim to have invented the genre of mountain surfing? Check out his fantastic piece from the Swiss Alps, where a delay in finding a suitable takeoff spot led to a loss of daylight hours. This video earned Gab707 a spot on the FPV Pilots to Watch list in January, 2020.

Since becoming a full time fpv pilot, the opportunities I get to just go out and fly for fun become very rare. This was one of those though. I met up with Swiss local Doc (Docl8 or Doclate on social) and we set out on a little snowshoeing mission to get up close and personal with the mountains. What we envisioned as a 45 stroll turned into a 2 hour mission through deep snow, and we ended up bailing to a secondary takeoff spot. Time only allowed for just a couple of flights with the darkness setting in and the descent still ahead of us, but it was enough to let the creativity flow. What a fun little mission! This was shot with a Gopro hero 6, and stabilized using Reelsteady GO. If you're interested in getting the software, you can use the code 'GabRSGO5!' to get 5$ off. http://www.reelsteady.com?p=S1pTQbBT4 Need a filming quad, see my usual setup here: https://www.team-blacksheep.com/products/prod:gab707_ichabod_bundl Shendrones Ichabod Jr Hobbywing 2306 1600kv motors Hobbywing 4in1 esc BrainFPV Radix Crossfire full tx and micro rx TBS unify vtx Strix hoot antenna Azure 5140 prop tattu 1800 6s R-line Runcam micro Eagle with RC25G lens Gopro hero6 black @ 4k 4:3 30fps On the ground: Thinktank FPV Airport Helipack Fatshark HDO ImmersionRC Rapidfire goggle module TrueRC X2air directional antenna strix hoot omni antenna Frsky Taranis X9D remote controller Team Blacksheep crossfire module TrueRC True Mox antenna Need gear?
