3PV FPV - A Change in Perspective

[@35mmMovieTrailersScans]

I simply was mesmerized!... by the images, by the music, by the synchronization of both, by the stability of the plane. damn.. I'm watching it again.

[@danielj4748]

I only recently saw this SkyHunter model on the HK website and have been drawn by the unique fuselage design for a long time (back when the fpv community were looking for such a craft, a few years ago). Have to say, what you've achieved here is brilliant and very well executed. This has to be one of the best "FPV" videos/footage, that I've seen for a long time! Great work. Subscribed. :-)

[@helifanensenada5183]

What an incredible idea! I can't imagine why nobody thought about it before... Some things are just sitting there for some visionary to come and invent them. Congratulations!

[@blockman69]

That is such a cool perspective. One of the best FPV videos I've watched. I'd love to do that to my Penguin.

[@secretspy711]

CG for a staight-wing airplane is always very near the "quarter chord" (measure the chord length of the wing and divide by 4, then measure back that distance from the leading edge). I mounted the center of the camera rig at this location, and since there are 2 arms, it's always balanced front-to-back and side-to-side. There is only a change in CG in the Z-direction which is not nearly as important.

[@AMCUNHAVIDEOS]

CONGRATULATIONS THAT EFFECT IS INCREDIBLE AND INEDITO, MODE BRINGS A NEW PERSPECTIVE AND ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES, BUT VERY VERY WONDERFUL, ONCE AGAIN CONGRATULATIONS

[@secretspy711]

The blue mounts were made on a Makerbot Replicator 2. The black center hub I think was on a Trinity Labs Alumatus by Taylor Stull on MakeXYZ.com

[@secretspy711]

The black center hub was made by Taylor Stull on MakeXYZ.com from ABS, not sure what kind of printer he used because he has several... might've been the Lulzbot Taz. The blue camera mounts at the ends were made on a Makerbot Replicator 2 out of PLA.

[@Rcschim]

Cool idea. I always like to see new perspectives. Once i had the idea to tow a small, flying cam to film my plane from behind, but it didnt work so well.

[@rianrex]

Well done mate it's great to see more people thinking outside the square you are a pioneer. I think this is the start of something big.

[@hindsight99]

Most original film I have seen in ages, well done! Matthew

[@jadoei13]

So cool! That just completely changes everything! Maybe a little servo with a rubber tire thing to been able to slightly control it but that it is still been able to move when it needs to.

[@alishanmao]

Totally Awesome :D

[@TobiasAwadis]

Excellent view of the plane, really good job..

[@wardope]

thats impressive. love it. Might try something like that on a tricopter. maby something where you mount a rail system around it so you can make the cam go all around the copter like a big "O" wth a tricopter inside and a cam outside if you understand ?

[@j69chevelle]

No control surface on the vertical stabilizers?

[@firesculpturevideo]

I like this concept, we are about to start experimenting with a much larger version of this that uses gimbals facing outwards on a rotating assembly outside the rotor perimeter. 2 go-pros facing out on gimbals away from the props of our hex copter.

[@Grantf69]

by far one the best fpv planes and video's iv seen yet very nice work :-)

[@BrushlessJoe]

Super nice job. You see it...you do it....self made!! You clearly contribute to innovations. Thanks for sharing!

[@CQ316]

This is the coolest fpv video i have seen in a longggg time next to team blacksheep vids!!!

[@RETROGAME-FIX]

Amazing. please do a tutorial on how you mounted the setup.

[@AnthonyRamosHiFiWiFi]

I have no words for this, but I want to give someone a hug and talk about how EFF BAD ASS THIS IS!

[@culhand]

The description seems to be cropped, looks like text is missing

[@felipefelipe-xk8bk]

muy bueno, el soporte no se donde comprarlo ni en amazon ni en walmart no esta donde lo compro?

[@garageadz]

Great concept! I outrigged my camera to the back of my 350QX to get a similar perspective but fixed overlooking the heli during flight.

[@ByronBedenbaugh]

Excellent idea and execution. I really enjoyed the different views.

[@Formorihunter]

That looks frakking awesome! Nice job on the camera rig and I hope you do more like this!

[@secretspy711]

This change in CG in the Z direction is also partly why it pitched up during launch.

[@Irich1961]

What a brilliant camera setup... Must try that.... !!!!!!!

[@michaelrobertson8955]

Yes!! I have been waiting to find a vid like this with those kind of views of the fpv aircraft! Well done!

[@genaputrov5207]

That's the best recourse of FPV, i ever saw! Cool!

[@killazkush]

SICK!!!!!! The angles you get with that setup is awesome!! Thx 4 the video....

[@JacobDavidCCunningham]

This is a really cool idea, my only suggestion for revision is to have the booms retracted or folded for better take offs. Keep in line with cg/direction of flight.

[@madsloper]

Nice, great new perspective on FPV. Hopefully someone will make a kit available in the future.

[@abilityoflove]

It can be improved if the cameras crane is of T-shape, so there is no huge beam in the shot, but otherwise it is a stunning image!

[@Grantf69]

any chance seeing how you done your build? as i have sky hunter would really appreciate some info how you did your build. pm me thank you

[@luciduous]

I always thought of a follow cam, great idea with the cw cam. Suscribed. good to see someone has done it.

[@jeremyheath6379]

love the paint job on your skyhunter, seems like a beautiful plane!

[@RCBuyerreview]

it's cool

[@Rando104854]

so sick!! the SkyHunter FPV is such a great plane.

[@TobiasRaeder]

This thing is amazing. Tried finding it on the lab again - care for a link? But just awesome

[@HeliAxe]

Super cool. If the camera and weight booms were made out of some sort of clear stiff plastic tubeing it would be even cooler.

[@2007crf450r]

I would have to rate this as one of the top ten fpv videos on you tube nice going guys

[@moreausebastien6851]

amaising video!!!!!!! but what Propeller did you used and all electronic (esc,radio control,servo,all pls:)

[@bluefisherking]

Bravo - very inventive... I look forward to seeing how this will be refined

[@secretspy711]

Yep, that Gaffer's tape is awesome stuff! Thanks for that. I've linked to your site in the description as a place to get pre-built SkyHunters.

[@Soldier53flyer]

By far the best set I have seen, great system!

[@3DVOROS]

de lo mejor que he visto y lo mas original...muy bueno!!!!!!!

[@PeterDful]

Well done, from Johannesburg.

[@forteleaerieneromane]

What's that thing going through the left wing?

[@secretspy711]

That's a UHF dipole antenna. I use 433MHz for control, not 2.4GHz.

[@NadsGlanzaV]

Brilliant. Loving the camera angles

[@myhonchosg]

Nice perspective!!

[@bzenecka22]

Wow!! What about CG??

[@muppet61300]

Where can we found this plane??? Great idea ;)

[@hbenn420]

Great concept fellas! That skyhunter looks amazing!

[@RoboTekno]

Fantastic! I applaud your creativity :-) Do you use dual cameras on the rotating booms or just a single camera and a counter weight?

[@Timothyboland1995]

what is the airframe?

[@deahnasdad]

What camera was on the boom arm?

[@dennis.laman9472]

Another question, do you use wide open throttle when you launch yourself?

[@secretspy711]

+Denny Laman Yes, usually. This is how you can sometimes get away with a prop combo that produces more power than the motor is rated for, because launch only lasts a short amount of time. If you have a setup like this, don't fly at full throttle for sustained periods of time.

[@flt842]

What's the plane manufacturer?

[@antonr91]

Absolutely amazing idea.....well done buddy...great shots

[@quietmale00101]

very interesting aspect of Videography

[@sonick808]

i'm waiting for someone to do a split screen front/rear signal transmit to FPV station.Or even crazier, 4 way split sceen with n,s,e,w facing cameras. Use 120+ degree lenses and you will be able to see everything. How about somehow piping that into the oculus rift post-receiver? I have a feeling FPV has an exciting future.

[@rifted]

Nice idea! Great new perspective of a flight!

[@cabster101]

Very nice!! It would be cool to have 10 poles coming from the center with a cam on each for a Matrix type camera view.

[@BPFLY417]

Awesome video, fpv at a hole new perspective !

[@jordanhsy]

great creativity and execution

[@plmsdevelopments]

What video radio link gear and antennas are you using, didn't seem to be many drop-outs with it ?

[@secretspy711]

All the clips in this video are onboard recordings, not the "link footage." But to answer your question, onboard was a 400mW 1.3GHz vtx with an inverted vee. On the ground I had a racewood receiver and a linear groundplane omni.

[@bramappeltans6618]

how long are the booms?

[@iandavidson99]

Plain and simply... BRILLIANT !!!

[@jackheartpersonal2072]

Bloody marvelous what a bloke can do with a pair of old chop sticks ! Thanks !

[@the10thleper]

Love the plane. Don't care for the extended camera booms? Not worth the extra view and added weight plus drag.

[@secretspy711]

that's why it only flew like that twice.

[@AntoniodaPisa]

Complimenti...un sistema di visuale multipla interessante. Veramente ben fatto. Congratulations ... a system of multiple visual interesting. Really well done.

[@Rando104854]

Everything about this video is awesome! Period... 👍🏼 awesome!

[@secretspy711]

made it myself. added a parts list to the description

[@Toneslope]

Great work Toneslope

[@Vee.82]

That is awesome. I can honestly say, i have never seen anything like that on an rc plane. Good job :-)

[@calidave88]

Love it! Great work. We need one of those for Team Echelon!

[@mauritsengelsman]

epic idea, Epic Editing EPIC VIDEO and FLYING!:) GReetz from Holland man!

[@secretspy711]

Thanks! That whole flight was actually pretty boring believe it or not. You can do a lot of things with editing. I need to do another flight and throw in some loops, rolls, and stalls!

[@mauritsengelsman]

secretspy711 Yeah i can imagine that but I don't know if that sticks holds up in loops etc.. maybe it pulls to much g and breaks the stick of from you servo, but the angle you get is amazing:) I like the speedup at 1.48, like a 3 double moving time-lapse if you do it a bit longer:)

[@secretspy711]

maurits engelsman I did some loops already, but the camera battery died. Held up fine!

[@secretspy711]

I used 2 cameras. Needed it to be aerodynamically-balanced as well as mass-balanced.

[@satrepo123]

Cool video..... what motor and propeler are you using ?

[@keaaul808]

Awesome concept!! I love it!! Since not all of us have access to 3D printers, would you consider selling kits, particularly the plastic parts?

[@secretspy711]

+Stan 808 Kits probably wouldn't sell very well, honestly. I really wouldn't want to fly with this rig mounted all the time since it significantly affects the flight characteristics. I don't have a printer either...I had the hub part printed for me at makexyz.com and the camera mounts printed by a friend. The STL files are on my thingiverse page.

[@keaaul808]

Thanks kindly for your reply. Was just wondering, as it's a very interesting design. Thanks also for the links!

[@felipefelipe-xk8bk]

como se llama la musica ?

[@secretspy711]

"Haunt You" by Flux Pavilion

[@tomm5810]

Very unique and interesting, thanks for sharing.

[@aeropix517]

Fantastic... just see how inventive an fpv flyer can be....

[@design65]

Original Nice !!!! What is the plane ?

[@MrAlbertoromeroa]

What video editor do you use? do you use any video image stabilizer? great video!

[@kelf89]

that is surprising stable. flaps away

[@swefpv2589]

Supercool! Two keychains coming my way ;) What kind of 3D printer are you using?

[@RockyMountainRc]

Did you make this yourself or did you buy it somewhere?

[@GTI6Turbo]

What a great idea! Made me smile!

[@sasha-taylor]

OH MY GOD you used the Line Traveling Circus song at the beginning!

[@coleperschon]

whats the name of this plane?

[@secretspy711]

SkyHunter, in the description

[@crazycrow3378]

Very innovative. Excelent work.

[@floridafpv7918]

Pretty damn amazing. Nice job! Tell us more about it? Your SH looks great.

[@JaxTellerRC]

Wow mate! Fantastic video and beautiful plane, liked and subbed

[@seawallaviation]

Great idea: Congratulation to this fantastic video.

[@ctrcflyin2011]

WOW!!! Who wouldn't like that. That was awesome!!

[@orlandomartinez-CA]

Human innovation is limitless.... nice!

[@SuperSkylux]

2X WOW great idea, really good job!

[@lawrencebroad6673]

you should make it so that the wind makes it go round cause it looks way cooler when it is spinning!
