FPV Racing / Formation Mini Quads – Melbourne Multirotor 2015
Some close action FPV racing and formation flying scenes from a few weeks ago. Great weather, great flying and a lot of fun. The FPV Footage was is from Thomas’ Minion 220 mini quad. The Slow Motion footage was shot with the iPhone 6 running at 720p @ 240fps
Hope you enjoyed this highlights clip.

I’m not a quad guy, but I do like watching the racing from the pilots
perspective. Not sure if it was too bright to see any LED’s but I couldn’t
see any. If it’s too much daylight killing the LED shine, how about
something that stands out like day glow around the rear arms or just
something to make them stand out for the pilot behind (and their audience –
ie me) to view. Still enjoyed, keep ’em comin.
+M Smith Thanks, some really cool aircraft stuff coming soon, I have
amazing gliding project that should be awesome 🙂 They all had LEDs but the
sunlight kills it. In the Original video you can just see the LEDs but
Youtube’s compression kills the footage. It’s just enough for the pilots to
see the other quad even on bright days like this
Cool slow mo footage, interesting to see the different angles you were
flying :)
+salle rc Thanks 🙂 I think it’s the first time we tried this.
Nice!
+The Phantoms Guest Guitar/RC channel Thanks 🙂
Brilliant editing <3
Million of thumbs up for you guys, that was simply amazing!
Have a great end of week
+ABMNS PRODUCTION Thank you so much, you’re way too kind my friend 😀
Really a great video Paul! Loved the racing action, slow motion, and the
music.. While I don’t have one, I like the quads. Does the camera move to
compensate for the different angles of the quad during flight, and what
googles are you guys using/prefere now? Thanks so much for posting and
sharing with us!! W
+Walt G Thanks Walt 😀 The camera doesn’t move, but having said that we
have the both the FPV and HD Camera tilted up 10 Degrees. As far as Goggles
go, Thomas is using the Original SkyZone’s and I’m either using the same or
the Latest V02 SkyZone’s. Glad you enjoyed the video 😀
great meeting guys ;)) love your playground
+Denis Meglic It was going to be another playground but we moved because
they had an event on. This one worked out nicely
Yes. This is simple a great idea. Very cool slowmo.
I love the sound track great flying too…
+Dave T Thanks 😀
Am I the first to accuse you of slowing your footage down???? 🙂
Nice one Thomas. Getting some good speed there.
+FinalGlideAus OMG I can’t believe you would accuse me of slowing down the
footage . . that was the actual speed we were travelling at, the other
stuff was sped up 😛 lol
Thanks again man, loved your last video! I just watched it again . . oh and
you left me with so much to think about last night!!
+BMSWEB Just watched the vid now too… amazing! He made some nice saves.
And the speed!
He’s a fantastic pilot if he can control his frustration every time he
crashes . . but he’s getting there slowly
Tell him that being humble is the hardest trait in life. Then maybe
“challenge excepted” then he’ll get cross with himself for being cross:)
Its just a “I know I can do this, why am I messing up” kind of frustration
im sure.
Just like pro athletes, you guys are like the best of the best.
Awesome piloting!
Great video shots!
+RC Dad Thanks 🙂 BTW: Love your user name 😀
So awesome.
+Almo Cox Thanks 🙂
Great flying!
+ankjaers Thanks 🙂
Those slow mo-effects are awesome, they look like the bullet scenes from
the Matrix. Now you need to add a ‘GoPro array effect’ and it will be off
the hook!
+trump959 Thanks 🙂
Cool video. The slow mo is very cool. Edit is too pretty nice :D
+RC Lord Thanks 🙂
Very nice editing! I like the slowmotion! ; D
+AerialVideo’s FPV RubenD Thanks 🙂
+BMSWEB i was flying on a new location today and i flew to far! so i last
signal and the storm racing drone fel from like 30m! i almost lost it in
the water!!!!! : /
Take a look at the video if you want! : )
Lucky it didn’t end up in the drink 🙂
Nice flying and editing. Looks like you have a lot of fun. Congrat to
thomas for the flying skill. ;)
+Carl Tremblay Thanks 🙂 Carl, I just need to learn to keep up with the
little bugger 😀
… really nice footage and beautiful slowmo :-)
+hotliner Thanks 🙂
If the multicopters could produce smoke…. would be even nicer…
Great video!
+Erwin L Thanks 🙂 Funny you say that because Thomas wants to do that for
an aerial display with them. That’s an awesome idea
go for it!!!
Cool! What camera are you using to get the slow motion ground shots?
+Ian Jefferys The Slow Motion was done on the iPhone 6
+BMSWEB Amazing what that thing can do.
Its pretty amazing. I was complaining to a mate that I wish it could do
240fps @ 1080p instead of 720p, he then reminded me “It is a phone” lol
Awesome!!!!
+TOJO RC Thanks 🙂
Great flying Guys
+George Stephen Thanks George 🙂
Awesome video guys !
+Daniel Moore Thanks 🙂
Very nice flights und slowmos 😉
+FPV Tiefflieger Thanks 🙂
G’day,
Yay Team..!
They look really funny in Slow Motion, creeping accross the screen at a 30
degree Angle to everything else in the Universe…
It’s been pretty much unflyable up here lately, with the stuff off the
edges of what the Weather-Gods are giving to the Coastal Strip – payback
for their failing to vote Green apparently…(?) !
Have a good one,
;-p
Ciao !
+BMSWEB
Yeah, they call that “Bosses’ Weather”, fine all week, lousy on the
weekend…
The local KKK Festival (Kilted Keltic Klowns) is on here this weekend…,
last year it was dedicated to Cornwall and it sleeted and drizzled for 2
days and the top Temperature didn’t get above 5 Degrees for 2 days…; this
year it’s all about W(h)ales, and there’s a Severe Weather Warning with
100mm to 350mm expected over the Weekend.
Kosmic Scoreboard Effect, I guess, they keep trying to pretend they live in
Britain, they get all dressed up in the traditional Pommy Woolen Kilts &
a”Fairisle” knitted Jumpers, ready to Kirk the Tartan and eat the
Haggis…, singing the auld Highland Dirges…; then they get all cranky
and downcast when they whistle up some authentic “Celtic” Weather…,
because they really NEED some sparkly Australian Sunshine to better bring
out the Cash-Cows (Oopsie, should’ve said “Tourists”) to watch the “Clans”
marching behind the Skirl o’ th’ Pipes, and the Drag & Paradidle o’ yonder
Snare Drums…!
Och, Aye ?
;-p
Ciao !
PS,
And, I haven’t even been Raindancing (no need, 101mm for April..!), so it
wasn’t my doing…(lol).
+WarblesOnALot 100-350mm !!!! BUGGER lol Hey the sun is actually out atm
here. So hoping to do some flying after picking up the young man from
school 😀
+BMSWEB
Well, as usual, it was the Climate Science Deniers in SE QLD copped most of
the Worst, and 5 of them died since yesterday, and the Coastal Strip of
Tourist Traps have Bin-Hammered…; whereas today there’s 4/8 Clouds here,
following 31mm of well-mannered Rain all yesterday and last night….
Being about a mile west of the Watershed, on the Great Divide, is really
excellent for avoiding the Weather which projects inland while otherwise
busy beating up the Coast….
Have fun,
;-p
Ciao !
I’ve noticed some of the pics on FB just insane weather, i never realise so
many were without power etc
+BMSWEB
Yeah, being dependant on the Grid is very convenient when it’s all up and
running, and on the occasions when a Stand-Alone system glitches then one
gets to figure out how to fix it without help…; but when the Grid is down
there’s nothing to be done but wait for somebody else to put it back
together and, to be honest, the Grid fails a lot more often than my
Pyramidful of old Car Batteries and an Inverter does…(once in 15 years I
had to go a night without Power, the +ve Battery Clamp on the Inverter had
corroded through it’s Cable & my son “shouted” me a new pair of Clamps…).
Apparently Elon Musk has launched House-Lighting Lithium Batteries which he
claims will be cheaper than Lead-Acid…; though it’s hard to see what a
House needs Low-Weight Batteries for, but I guess there’s more Lead in the
World than there is Lithium…
But, with a stand-alone system one gets a little thrill of satisfaction
EVERY TIME a flick of a switch causes the Light, Radio or TV/DVD to come
on..; whereas with the Grid about the best one can feel is to be grateful
that it still works, mixed with apprehension about how huge the Bill will
be…
Take it easy,
;-p
Ciao !
OMG Paul, great video. The high speed chase clips were awesome
+Hoggdoc Thanks for the support and feedback 🙂 , hopefully next time I can
get some more footage
Gotta love rate mode flying!
+Chad Lashuay Thanks Chad 🙂 It’s certainly a lot of fun that’s for sure
Great video! Loved the slow motion shots, especially with the green props.
I’m looking forward to this summer and hopefully a group of us playing
around in the park like you guys. Any chance you guys will come to the US
for Flite Fest?
+Steven Thomas Thanks Steve, Hope you guys have an awesome summer, our
weather is about to go downhill here, but having said that the sun is out
and when I pick up Thomas from school (60min from now), we’ll hopefully get
to squeeze in some flying 🙂 Man Thomas and I would so love to come to
Flite Fest, I was discussing it with the wife we might aim for next years
even since there is no hope of the wife getting time from work atm.
Irrespective the US is on Thomas’ wish list since there is so much he wants
to see in your beautiful country 🙂
Totally understand about traveling. Australia is on my short list of
places to visit, but I fear is further than a year or two year away. Hope
to meet you guys some day! As always, keep up the great work on flying and
video edits!
Thanks Steven, look forwards to catching up either here or in the US 😀
Nice bit of flying
+Allan T Thanks Allan 😀
Another great film of skills of pilot’s thanks again
+ely mental Thanks 🙂
Fantastic video editing, great speed those changes in images, in
coordination with the music, really fun, congratulations, greetings
+Diego Meana Bastián I was thinking just the same, the flying is fantastic
but I was extremely impressed with the production. Also, great job on
keeping those quads in shot +BMSWEB, that isn’t easy.
+Diego Meana Bastián Thanks Diego 🙂 It turned out to be a fun edit. It
almost didn’t happen until I realised we has footage from Thomas’ Quad 🙂
+Luke Horror Thanks Luke, much appreciated buddy 🙂
For a phone, that slow-mo footage came out better than I would have
thought, awesome :D
+RCEngnr Thanks, mind you if it could do that in 1080p as opposed to 720p
it would be better . . . but then again it is a phone I guess 🙂
LOVE the slo mo shots!! Actually pretty rare!
+Pyrock Thanks, It would be so awesome if the phone could do 240fps in
1080p but then again I have to remind myself that it’s a phone 🙂
Am thinking one of your best videos yet guys . Cheers
+david costanzo Thanks David, I almost didn’t do this video because I
wasn’t sure if we got anything from Thomas Minion 🙂
Wow! Amazing video guys. Loved the music.
+Mohit Dewan Thank you 😀 I think it took about 3 hours or so to pick a
track for this one. Nothing I tried seemed to work
+BMSWEB the slow motion was particularly impressive. The quads looked
really ominous.
They are crazy little machines hey 😀
