EPIC FPV DRONE GOLF FOOTAGE | Chasing the Golf Ball with an FPV Drone

[@Golficity]

What did you think of the FPV drone footage? Should we do this again at another course?

[@Scott_Bishell]

Absolutely, but you need a pro fpv pilot like mr steele, ummagawd, le drib, blastr, or nurk fpv. Look all these guys up on KZbin, your guy couldn't even do a steady orbit. The pilots mentioned above do this for a living. Love ya content guys, keep up the good work

[@updowngolf915]

We would say #3 had a lot of great views!

[@ants00]

​@@Scott_Bishell I promise you there were some steady orbits. We got you next time.

[@LeRainbow]

FPV Footage is nice!! More is always cool. I'd reelsteady the footage and for the next time: to get that one shot you sometimes need 1-2 hours of the same exact setup til you get it. The drone literally needs to be "glued" to the golfball because of its small size in order so see it fully. Also your GoPro footage seems like it was compressed down to 1080p? Always render it in 4k even if you're using 1080p footage: you absolutely need that high bitrate for fast FPV footage to look crisp. :)

[@Sazuza2]

very cool! next time give it a try with an orange ball

[@Kabab]

Ahoy. Awesome work. If anyone wants to work with any FPV pilots I'll gladly put you in touch with someone nearby you pretty much anywhere in the world. It's a small community. ✌️

[@ants00]

Oh wow Kabab him self lol. These guys were super awesome to work with! I really want to do this again after giving it a first go. A cloudy day, reelsteady, and brighter ball will drastically help.

[@Kabab]

@@ants00 yeah I was expecting a yellow or those bright pink balls when I saw the title. Chasing a golfball has been a dream of mine since before I started. Couple other things I'd try. I'd give a race quad setup a go and would put a launch platform just behind and to the side of the golfer such that the moment the club strikes the ball you punch it. I think the quad can almost accelerate fast enough to keep up with the ball and if it can't, it'll surely catch up quickly. Then just follow the ball as closely as possible. All in all, I'd say you did as well as anyone could do in a half uncontrolled environment. Looked like you guys had to keep moving...

[@lucaschan4421]

#1 was sweet. Great work guys

[@ryandaly5698]

i appreciate the good content u guys have been putting out for

[@Golficity]

Thanks Ryan!

[@scott4770]

This was serious fun to watch!!

[@johnstorozuk]

#3 for me. Well done guys!

[@logancorner2770]

Number 2 is possibly the coolest shot on all of KZbin!

[@eddiex72]

This was BAD@$$. What an awesome video from you guys. Looks like it was a blast!

[@Theboy1798]

I was just randomly thinking about this and you guys actually did it! Badass!

[@Golficity]

Thanks Charles!

[@ChainsawFPV]

FPV makes everything better!!!

[@npduncan73]

Totally cool concept. Bring it!!!

[@ByrdieBIL]

#2 Awesome footage! Keep those crazy ideas coming!

[@TerdFerguson]

Loved the vid...keep up the good content.

[@BrendHD]

Amazing video!!! Keep up the great work!

[@Golficity]

Thanks Brendan! 🙏

[@plantation82]

This video was amazing. Number 3 was my favorite.

[@bryanharding4359]

number 3 was my favorite!

[@nelsonapontejr.6793]

#2 All the way!

[@phillipyoungjr6602]

I would have to go with number 2 forsure like the run up start . FIRE!!!!!

[@richmulligan4765]

Awesome content and sick videos. #2 I think was my favorite but they were all legit

[@RCRitterFPV]

Here for the FPV... Looks great. I need to get on the Course. thinking caddies at sunrise on the range while the wait for the first guests to show up. the fog... Grew up on Country Club of Fairfield riding my bike at 4am to get early in line so I could get a double in. (or sleeping outside the shack) Looping for Welch. the noise though...

[@CasualWaterGolf]

Looks like so much fun 🤩

[@BradyLaRock]

#3 -- the drone right next to the ball when you strike it, that was pretty sweet

[@nickrobb3448]

This was so cool guys!! Great job 💪🏽

[@ziggy7SIU]

This is AMAZING! The skydive shot from Instagram showed the ball the whole way and was def the best!

[@Golficity]

It really was cool to see the ball tracking through the air. We'll have to do this again for sure!

[@jesseruiz9257]

Damn that’s just ridiculously bad ass

[@JPxItalyBred]

Dope! I wonder if the neon bright colored balls would of helped him .

[@albagolf1314]

Great idea, think it would work easier without the sunshine but love the video either way :)

[@simon9012002]

Really great on everybody's part!

[@mattvolmar8711]

#1 for sure, all the footage is sick tho!

[@justinleonard7958]

I'd like to see this tried again with a neon orange or yellow ball. Might be worth a try.

[@Golficity]

Love that idea! And yes, we definitely want to try this one again soon. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@joeymass1752]

Great Vid! What course?

[@Golficity]

Hollow Brook Golf Club in Cortlan Manor, NY. Amazing place.

[@bradwright6470]

#2 is the best but they were all great.

[@keninja86]

Love the flyby in clip 3!

[@shahid10636]

Some of those shots were epic! Think 3 for me!

[@tompileggi7617]

#3 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@gurney5]

All of the bunker work that I did on that course makes it look amazing. Very sharp and clean looking.

[@88dirtdigger]

#2 was superb .. great timing on the swing and the dive down into the shot..!

[@Fa-id4nf]

Can I make the same thing with dji mini? I mean follow the ball during the flight

[@majmgangi]

Great Stuff. I would have to go with #2.

[@koendesmet769]

#2 for me!

[@billeknarinhong197]

Amazing. Would be nice if there is a tracer line and just stop the drone just above the whole green to see ball position.

[@BeachBow]

Great video! But I feel like I need a Dramamine after watching it! LOL!

[@kenmack5179]

what course was this ? thanks great video !! never mind Hollow Brook saw at end

[@Golficity]

We shot this video at Hollow Brook in Cortlandt, NY. It's one of our favorite tracks.

[@zachmiller3048]

Number 1 was awesome. Should try some kind of ball tracer next time.

[@jamesconnolly3042]

Think I’m going #2. Wait, I’m not actually GOING #2, that’d be gross and weird, and arguably inappropriate. I’m VOTING for #2. Really cool footage, looks like a video game.

[@matthewklotzbach5728]

Love the content and very cool video. Try a different colored ball next time and see it the camera picks it up better.

[@heavyq]

You guys should do an upload of the videos in the full 2k/1440p resolution :D Oh, and my vote goes to #1 and #3. This was so cool to watch!!

[@joshshefter7013]

Friendly tip: It might be easier to pick up the ball flight if you use a bright-colored balls.

[@Golficity]

Not a bad idea! We'll give it a go next time. Thanks!

[@bryanromey8168]

That's so awesome. #2 even though ripping drivers is always the best.

[@tylersherwood5914]

I really think if y'all would try this again at either a night golf course or with lighted golf balls at night then being able to follow the ball would be a lot easier for the drone pilot. Please make that happen and let's see how epic things can really get! Absolutely awesome footage, guys! Oh and #3.

[@wyattbowen3313]

#2 for sure! Love the content guys💪🏻💪🏻

[@Dr.Kim1979]

This was a sweet idea, thx for the content guys!

[@AlexNapierGolf]

Definitely clip 1. I think if you guys do this again with him you should shoot to do it on a cloudier day. That bright sun washed out a lot of shots and made it hard to see the ball. A cloudy and darker day will make it easier to see the ball flying. Awesome video though!

[@overthehillgolf7498]

#2 was so cool how it was up in the trees then down at the golfer level and back up! The trees are beautiful and the golf shot looked to be super! Or maybe that was a leaf next to the hole? Lol. Great job as always fellas!!!

[@benjamincrowder7538]

so dope... #2

[@noconnorn12]

What golf course is this?? ⛳ 🏌️‍♂️

[@johnstone5377]

Man.....so tough. I’d say #2

[@TheGolfClan]

the sound of that racing drone is sweet! great work guys. just saw the post on IG. So sick!

[@CROWLEY2478]

#2 - LOVED the swooping in from the trees shot.

[@obsessedvillages4660]

#2 - coming through the trees and then hitting overdrive was really cool.

[@PaddyP538]

#1 is awesome but my fave definitely #3

[@ryanmiller2257]

Definitely good stuff get some slow mo in there as well. Clip 1 due to being able to see the ball the best.

[@MsPhilMags]

Number 1 for mine

[@Sazuza2]

Loved the attempt guys!!!! I have been trying to film the golf ball too... so hard but so cool :)

[@Andy_4470]

Wow, that was fantastic, I've never seen anything like it, clip 2 for me, I hope you're doing a course vlog there, it looks amazing! ⛳🏌️‍♂️😳👍👍

[@Golficity]

Thanks! We had fun doing this.

[@Andy_4470]

It showed! 😀👍

[@bradstephens8323]

I liked #2 because of the quality of the golf shot combined with the excellent drone camera work. Wondering (if you get a chance to try this again) if you could also have a fixed camera (maybe high-speed/slo-mo) behind the ball and then mix that in with the drone footage?

[@Golficity]

That's a great idea. If we shoot FPV again we'll try to include that other camera angle. Thanks!

[@birdiebros2206]

Number 3 was the best.

[@co2brien]

3 was 🔥

[@kentbernard9842]

What golf course is this?

[@johnmurphy6475]

He drives that drone like I drive my car CRAZY lol 😂

[@dbgolf577]

Definitely # 2 - but y’all have opened up an absolute gem in new kind of footage , I’ve been seeing this lately on my cross country atv vids and to see it on the course 👍 bang on

[@blakehiggins758]

Favorite shot has to be #2. So sick coming in over the trees like that.

[@Golficity]

Crazy right! We couldn't believe how close he was flying without hitting those trees!

[@cai0proenca]

I guess something like a orange ball (idk if this is even a thing) would help the pilot, and also would be easier to se on video

[@foregodandcountry6581]

For the rc community I just wanted to maybe point out. Qwad, not drone. Drones are autonomous. Loved the footage and video!

[@billbyrnes9505]

Andy hit the nail on the head, gps golf, NEVER lose another ball? Comment below! It's coming, just wait. #2, definitely!

[@rainbowpig1427]

What’s the name of the course? It’s absolutely beautiful

[@Golficity]

This course is Hollow Brook in Cortlandt, NY. It's a great track!

[@dfinkels9]

Number 1

[@carlosguanche]

#2 👌

[@Bill-jv5eg]

That thing would drive me crazy with the noise,,,,

[@theweekendhack]

I remember when everyones dicks were in a bunch over that drone footage posted a while back. All these jabrone golf vloggers were asking for pilots ect. Glad to see you guys exactly followed thru and put out a video with it

[@gordonsmith1113]

Why don't you try it on a 200yrd par 3 but go 100 yards looking back to the tee with zoom on then catch the ball and follow it to the green that way you might manage to catch full flight after all the ball is slowing down by that time ,fantastic concept though good luck

[@drakebabcock5940]

try a coloured ball next time, might be able to track it better

[@RCRitterFPV]

Ok... thinking... hang time is really the thing you want the most. so you want at 45 degree + launch angle. 7 iron always the answer... the ball is just soo small...

[@airj3411]

Digitall - SUXXXX !!!!! Analog - RULEZZZ !!!!

[@RCRitterFPV]

150 mph off the face... but about 50 mph when it lands. a quad is really going to struggle to get over 90 and 100 is the "federal Limit" so the struggle is real.

[@RossSmith-o5z]

Need to edit the ball to see it more clearly or put a zoom lens on the camera

[@Dedmuus]

the compression of your render doesn't do the video justice.
