Flying FPV in the BERING SEA is BRUTAL | BTS Deadliest Catch Finale

[@vizjournalist]

Tommy...This is one of the best BTS/doc videos on professional drone flying I have ever seen. You did an excellent job telling this story and I really appreciate it. It reminds me of the long range video story Stinger told when he was with Gab and Jet. That was a great video but this was excellent. Please keep this type of content up. Really great story telling.

[@ummagawdFPV]

this took me so long to edit, figuring out how to tell it.... so I really appreciate your comment!

[@vizjournalist]

@@ummagawdFPV It REALLY shows. Excellent work.

[@UAVDroid]

Awesome story telling and flying as always!!! As someone who has flown from ships at sea multiple times, I can confirm you accurately captured the level of difficulty and thrill of success.

[@bitterrootfpv2207]

I was going to say allot of the same! 🤘

[@kibbycabbit]

Really, really, really well done. It's the quality production right there. I forgot I was watching this on KZbin. It could be on History, Netflix, BBC.

[@xjet]

I think your video was better than the program you were filming for! :-D

[@henrischomacker6097]

Yes, but I must say that I watch this series in germany all the time when it's available. If it's the same... but I know the name of the fishing boat :-)

[@henrischomacker6097]

Tommy... we watch it in germany on regular TV :-) ...i think

[@ummagawdFPV]

Haha, thanks Bruce. Maybe I should pitch this idea to Netflix

[@DavidOwensuk]

Bruce I have to agree with you… And amazing flying skills too!!!

[@Rcschim]

I was thinking the same :) I dont care for fisherman in Alaska - but if it involves a drone - I'm in ;)

[@shadowofchaos8932]

Dude. Impressing the director on a show on season 18 is hard. Earning the opening shot for the show on another paid day on a boat, priceless!

[@ummagawdFPV]

🙏🙏

[@SlattFpv]

Awesome video man, thanks for taking us along!

[@RossHasAdrone]

Absolutely beautiful editing. Glad you got it back bro! Such intense suspense! 👏🏻

[@ummagawdFPV]

thanks Ross.... this one took me a long ass time so I really appreciate it

[@sootys4024]

"Coming in hot!" he shouts, like its going to stoof into the ship. Then pulls a perfect pirouette landing onto the rolling deck, like it's nothing!

[@ummagawdFPV]

LOL.... on 6s... you just don't know WHEN it'll drop and I just wanted to make sure the guys in yellow had a heads up. And then when I made it I was like, "oh shoot not the ocean water spouting out the middle"

[@kelvinwolf225]

Jaw dropping. This series was amazing and such a great opportunity. I'd call you lucky, but we all know you earned it

[@ummagawdFPV]

🤙🙏

[@flipfpv]

Man, this series just keeps getting better and better. Well done. Love it!

[@ummagawdFPV]

🤙🤙🙏🙏

[@TinkerTweakFPV]

Well done, Tommy! I hope this type of behind the scenes series continues on your channel. Its been inspiring to say the least, as with all your videos! Glad you got your shot, and didn't lose a drone or your lunch! Keep up the great work!

[@ummagawdFPV]

🤙

[@gacanavan333]

Awesome storytelling. Probably the best behind the scenes production I have seen in the fpv community...and there are some great productions. Nice job tommy.

[@ummagawdFPV]

Much appreciated!

[@fairskiesfpv1616]

I was so incredibly nervous for you on that last flight when you’re battery was dying. My heart was literally racing! Great video man! Really great! Enjoyed it thoroughly!

[@ummagawdFPV]

🤙🙏

[@lukeburr1441]

I really love how you told this story Tommy. Your passion for flying always comes through in your videos!

[@ummagawdFPV]

Much appreciated Luke

[@ITSJAYKARE]

This is so sick. Flying while standing is hard enough. Let alone flying on a BOAT

[@patrickeul]

...and that boat is not on a lake!

[@dafastm2620]

This series was awesome! Thank you to let us be a part of your work! I'm looking forward to see more of this content on your cannel. I think that the production definitely book you again and we see more of this type of videos! Really great! Thank you!

[@ummagawdFPV]

fingers crossed!

[@thirty3fpv]

These videos are hella dope homie!! So glad you’re doing them. The story is awesome, the BTS is great, the tension is real!! Great job!!

[@ummagawdFPV]

thanks thirty!

[@Josh_8300]

Tommy is the reason I got into fpv. We met at Tempe AZ cardinals stadium at the fpvlighttrax event. Hung out, flew rigs and just chilled. So glad to see a person as kind, and helpful as yourself coming up like this. Can't wait to see the final shots in the show. Keep it up man. You are an inspiration!

[@ummagawdFPV]

I remember that race! Haha thank you for stopping by and commenting man. Much appreciate! Hopefully you’re still flying!

[@blazer5979]

The most compelling thing I've watched in a while. Almost shed a tear for you. Thanks Tommy!!!!!

[@ummagawdFPV]

haha thanks man!

[@LetsFlyRC]

Wow. This series was REALLY exciting to watch. Great job with the filming, editing and everything that went into the trip. It looked like a ton of fun.

[@ummagawdFPV]

🤙🙏 much appreciated

[@nyclassic4ever130]

I made it to the end. Bro, your story telling is phenomenal! Had me tuned in waiting for the next episode and rooting for you all the way. You definitely represented right. 🙌🏽 Wishing you the best for the new year!

[@ummagawdFPV]

You a real one for sticking through til the end. 🙏 thank yiu

[@djbis]

13:37 Tommy! Thank you for taking us on this wild ride with you. I so felt the relief at 13:37. I was so worried, sh*t! lol

[@AvallonYo]

This was probably one of the worst situations for aerial cinematography, and you handled it better than anyone else would be able to. Great job and great solutions

[@ummagawdFPV]

🙏🙏

[@chrisingram5251]

What an awesome series!! Loved seeing all the BTS. Super freaken cool!

[@MSR.]

Amazing journey man, I always new these gigs were harder than they seemed on the surface. Thanks 🙏 for sharing this with us 👊

[@ummagawdFPV]

not even just for me, but everyone! I have mad respect for the crew stuck on the boat for weeks at a time

[@whollymindless]

I always felt for the Directors and Editors trying to turn all that footage into something meaningful and engaging. Not that it isn't, but it seems from interviews that there can be a lot of hurry up and wait for crews.

[@sp00ls47]

Incredible video Tommy! Thank you for sharing BTS content like this with us, easily my favorite type of drone content. And the editing/storytelling is fantastic as others have said.

[@ummagawdFPV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@skorfex7047]

Hey tommy, I live in King Cove, AK(less then 200 miles from Unalaska). I’ve been wanting to do exactly this type a job. I’ve lived in AK my whole life, and alaska is my home. I’m definitely trying to get good, and into the cinematic area of fpv drones. This is the kind of footage I’m wanting to produce, and am getting closer and closer to getting out and trying cinematic footage. Do you have any tips on how I can get my footage noticed by big companies like discovery? Edit: yes I do have my Part 107 certificate(alongside with a PPL)

[@AKtoTok]

2nd that :p peace from Anchorage homie 🤙

[@ummagawdFPV]

What I’ve learned is that it’s about networking with producers and people who work in the industry. Your footage simply seals the deal

[@RemcosFPV]

Damn every new edit you throw out on youtube never disappoints. I was on the edge of my seat watching! Great work cant wait to see the footage on tv when it airs

[@ummagawdFPV]

Hehe thanks dude!

[@Adam-kb2mn]

These behind the scenes videos are normally boring but you nailed it.Good story telling and editing.Great to watch

[@ummagawdFPV]

[@nietfier]

So cool dude! Nice work, thanks for taking me along, love that show too.

[@ummagawdFPV]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Happy_FPV]

As a person who works with logistics every day I could only imagine what you and your crew that you worked with had to do to get all this done and for you to make such an excellent documentary of this adventure. I’m truly jealous this is your job. Maybe I’ll get there one day my self. Until then keep making such awesome content my friend I throughly enjoy it!

[@ummagawdFPV]

Dude I was fascinated with the whole production beyond my portion. Each boat has its own mini production crew, there’s 6-7 boats spread out at Dutch harbor, plus the helicopter crew, ground crew, and then me. The orchestration is madness! Glad you enjoyed it

[@BmoreVisuals]

One of the best video series I’ve ever seen on fpv, the story telling was absolutely amazing. You are an inspiration!

[@ummagawdFPV]

thank you for the kind words

[@CameronDasso]

I have been watching Deadliest Catch since the first season and I have been watching your videos for years. Very cool to see them merge.

[@ummagawdFPV]

Thanks

[@cstfpv]

Love the way you narrated the story, sometimes people don't understand the difficulties while we are on set, they just think it's all so easy, that you go film, get paid, boom! I really empathized with you for the whole series, thank you Tommy and please make more content like this!

[@ummagawdFPV]

Hehe, to this day my friends and family mostly think I just fly toys 😂 I love your work BTW!

Man, man, man! This was like réally entertaining, all while being extremely interesting. Vizjournalist really has a point, Tommy: this is not just a good video. This is great photography, directing (you did tell the others how to film yourself) and editing. And the dramatic electro pop gave it the style we have come to expect from you. I have no doubt your reality documentary appeals way more to us, than the Series you were filming it for! If you continue filming your exploits, you might have a new product! Keep flying, man! You da man! Thank you for sharing that with us, minions!
