[@bentondrones]

Thanks for the insight to your process! Really liking these new dissection bits you’re making. Super helpful getting your perspective as a top tier professional FPV pilot.

[@MrSteeleFPV]

Thank you 🙏🏼. I’m having fun making them

[@bonkerzfpv]

I chase at my local grassroots track almost every weekend. Chasing newbie drifters is a lot harder than "pros". But I love getting footage of the newbies because they can learn from the footage. I fly at Apple Valley Speedway in SOCAL.

[@blutonic]

Oh Yay! I'll see you there, trying to coordinate with my drift car friends to go on a weekend.

[@CallowayVisuals]

It’s cool to hear someone else talk about the struggles of chasing drift cars. It’s because of you I didn’t freak out the first time I got caught in a cars wash. You talked about it in a video or podcast or something. Keep these up.

[@beezermedia]

8:7 with GoPro 12 log going forward is a game changer. That's all I run now. I fly at 30 fps at 180 shutter most of the time. 24 just doesn't look the best with chasing the drivers I get to fly behind and the tracks I frequent. I will fly a couple packs in 60 and 120 even just for variety sometimes because I'm capturing a variety of footage for events, not just FPV. I appreciate this breakdown and appreciate the idea for a new video this upcoming drift season.

[@MrSteeleFPV]

I agree. But I’ve messed up some footage with log cause I had the settings a little wrong. I still just usually run flat unless someone asks me for log

[@faithinparadise351]

Good stuff friends. I'll be trying some of these settings for myself 👍

[@villadante]

@@MrSteeleFPV I and I think everyone else here, would love to see a video about your GoPro settings!! Also I wonder what are your thoughts on the new Dji Action 4? I just got it and I think image wise is great. The only downside is that you cant use Reelsteady, but Gyro flow which is a bit more complicated to get into.

[@gior12_]

Do you think is necessary 180 deg shutter? I feel 10x better video with more shutter, low shutter is cinematic ok but its quite all blurred around and chasing seems not that smooth..

[@mustangsupersnake7848]

Love the generosity. Always blown away by the skills. Mr Steele the personification of technicity elevated to an art.

[@WhatYouDRONE]

I love your view (share your tips and tricks) the fact is the personality of the pilot shows in the flying we all have something to offer the skills for this are so niche we can only get better

[@jessehoffman5302]

I started FPV 1.5 years ago and you were one of the first pilots i was introduced to online. next weekend i'll be filming my first drift event and couldn't be more excited.

[@stupidshethead420]

rip it bro!

[@VinydFPV]

Sweet vid bro! Creators like you are the reason why I love fpv so much. Build em fly em crash em fix em and repeat!!!

[@quadbrake]

This kind of flying looks so challenging to all your fpv skills!

[@hateeternalmaver]

Cool to see you're still enjoying the flying, Steve. ;)

[@ZKingFPV]

Hey man I appreciate you putting this out and sharing tips. I've been considering getting my 107 so I can do this kind of stuff without breaking any rules lol. Can't wait to see more!

[@InsideoutFPV]

Really sound info man! I agree with everything! especially chasing good drivers, the more you trust them the closer you can get. I’ve had a FPV break..not through choice, I hope to get back to the drifting this year! I need to up my camera tilt..what’s your go to tilt for drifting? No need for sun protection here in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🤣🤣

[@AgroAaronFpv]

Great video man!! Love the talking format, and hearing your take on everything ,super informative! Can't wait to see more like this especially your car collection and Mount Everest.. I usually lock all my settings in where nothing is auto and I have under exposed and overexposed some things lol I might try the auto shutter at the next event If there's clouds in the sky. Keep up the good work man!

[@Starkeyfpv]

Amazing video!!! Im in colorado and love going to the drift events!! Such a great community of people! Sad i missed ya ... glad you liked PPIR!!!

[@MacTheKnife]

That's a good point about amateur drivers being less consistent than pros. I notice this with mx riders in a very big way. Thanks for the dissections man ,these are sick af

[@sp3cimen6]

Mr Steve! 8:7 ftw! I Wana see you try medlin system for the first time!?! Please film it!?!?

[@THEREALdarksidefpv9997]

i like that your doing these, its cool to get to know pilots for more then just flying.

[@piotrgibas]

As usual, amazing

[@MadDragon75]

Exactly. I posted over hundred comments in here, and there's nothing that I haven't already said that doesn't apply to this video as well.

[@joostkleintank8828]

Big thnx for the inside!! Not done chasing driftcars or something like that. Did a bit chasing bmx/MTB on a pumptrack. Going to do some more of that and try to do MX wen the weather gets better here in 🇳🇱. Think the same apply’s to that as chasing driftcars. Would like to see a video of your cars to. Good to see you back and in this kinda mood. Keep it up!!!

[@baggszilla]

Love these videos! Keep it coming! All the ideas you've mentioned we would love to hear about them! Cheers!

[@RCWolfFPV]

I think these are the most valuable videos, sooo much experience and knowledge shared! this is soooo insightful! thank you!

[@ronnyrengkung7894]

I'm so proud to know you Sir🙏,......and Always Thank you for sharing with us,.....Good Luck n GBU,...🙏🙏

[@perplexedintellectual6918]

Great vid. Love hearing your advice about this stuff it’s good to know. Much love from Oregon!

[@perplexedintellectual6918]

Agreed. It would be nice to see the fpv community not hoard there advice for flying in fear

[@Boosted_E_]

It's too bad Gridlife didn't come back to CO last year, would've been awesome to meet you. If you ever wanted to come back to CO check out the Slush Motorsports events. We'd love to have you back out!

[@MrSteeleFPV]

A buddy just told me about Slush a few days ago. I love PPIR I hope to make it back sooner than later

[@MrSteeleFPV]

Stay warm out there it’s cold af right now !!

[@Boosted_E_]

@@MrSteeleFPV Thanks man! Thankfully it's warming back up today. There was also Ascend last year that took the place of Gridlife. Basically the same thing, just a different name.

[@uapfpv]

Cool talk. Another talk about how you handle video when you get home. Storage and sorting what to keep and use

[@MayDayFPV369]

Thanks for the info. I just filmed a drift event. Had a blast!

[@dcdk1525]

Warm Greets from Denmark 2 U & your family Mr. Steele - I Love your viD'z

[@CarbonIcarusFPV]

I did everything backwards.. Started Road-racing in the late 90's.. did that for about 8 years(SCCA, NASA, Hyper-Fest, Honda-Challenge Series) and then had a bad accident which took me out of it due to neck injuries. I was also deep into photography at the time, so I came back with my own motorsports photography business, because I needed to be back at the track around the cars and the drivers.. kinda gets in your blood. Plus, there's nothing like the experience from the driver's seat to really give you the eye for where the car is going and how it's going to behave.. makes for some great shots. Had a car flip in the air one time at Summit Point, rolled twice and then came down on it's roof about 30 ft from me. Everybody was like, Dude! Why didn't you run! Just shrugged.. I was getting the shots, and I knew how far it was gonna go, based on the speed and angle it left the track. This was all before drones were a thing(2003ish-2008ish). If I had known I would get into drones I might have kept the business, but I needed to put my engineering degree to use in order to raise a family. So now, full circle, I'm into this ish and thanks for all your tips and breakdowns. Maybe I'll get back out to the track at some point. I've raced at all the east coast tracks so it would be cool to come back and fly some of them. Been following you since 2014.. keep doing what you do! 👍

[@NomadStew]

@Mr Steele what are your opinions on practicing in Liftoff Slipstream mode? I spend hours a day chasing and I feel like I'm getting the basics and lots of chase time but I'm not sure how it will transfer to reality. This video is perfectly timed for me lol

[@MorningsideMotors]

Would definitely love to see the car collection!

[@YotaGuy_Kyle]

My GoPro settings I usually lock the ISO to conditions. Then leave shutter in auto to protect against clouds. 4k 60 fps in shoot most. If there’s lots of smoke 30 frames for the motion blur. All depends on how the cars are running.

[@SIHdW3W]

been practicing backwards shots in assetto and with rc cars and its funny how its way easier from one side than the other lol, almost as with goofy and regular, it happens with so many moves

[@chipsetfpv7551]

👁👽👁👑 spirit of the fpv sphere

[@DanielJohnFPV]

I haven't filmed a drift yet, but I've filmed rally cars (so fun!), paragliders, dirt bikes, kiteboarders, all types of things. I almost always fly 8x7 so I can post to my YT channel and socials with the same clip. It would be cool if you could film 4k120 in 8x7, but 4k60 is good enough for most occasions.

[@noscadefpv4954]

really great info.

[@subaehaitham]

I know you are Mr Steel, FPV superstar, but that intro was still impressive as frikkenuck, even for being you.

[@Ipds70GltR]

VOLLLLLVO!!!! Lets see it!!

[@jonathan6351]

Love these videos! Maybe you can make a video explaining where you're standing for like mid range complicated, flights with lots of objects in between sections? I mean the video where you flew in Turkey where you did that one shot was really interesting seeing where you were standing. I'd love to get a better insight in that. Idk just an idea

[@airdevil21]

Awesome video!!! Thank you!!!

[@VinydFPV]

He said doo-doo!!! 🤣🤣

[@DRAAAGONEARZ]

[@unRealityFPV]

theres's nothing like the feeling when you're chasing drift.

[@Amped_Media]

8:7, 5k, 30FPS, shutter locked at 1/120 (for better result with reelsteady), iso locked, sharpness low, bitrate high, flat/log👍

[@IfeanyiUguru-j4d]

[@biccsdev]

Sick vid!

[@pandemiofpv]

mr machine vaamos re locazo ! crack

[@ghostdropfpv]

Lovin the vids !

[@taunado]

Rad, thanks. Auto shutter speed will probably mess with the look of the video in terms of motion blur. It may look more cinematic to stick it to the 180 degree shutter angle rule of doubling your shutter speed to whatever frame rate you're shooting at.

[@taunado]

Rather have auto ISO, I guess.

[@rthairlines]

Looking forward to more Himalayan videos! Yay! What angle do you fly at these events?

[@73FPV]

i agree with Below..

[@matbolduc]

As a new pilot I'm always looking for ways that professionals capture their footage. I've been curious about the use of head tracking gimbals for following athletes and if you've had any experience filming with them and your thoughts on them. I've really enjoyed seeing the results that GabFPV has gotten with them but am totally unsure if I should attempt to learn how to use them or install one on my drone.

[@yukinha69]

Permaculture mindset is the way to be, disrupt together not each other!

[@BuddsSkyCam]

No reelsteady.... i feel like Raw ubstablIzed is the best.

[@MrSteeleFPV]

Yeah I agree and disagree :). Everything has its place.

[@JayBoFPV]

So much easier with a good driver… 💯 agree

[@harrymoran5595]

2 questions how do you go about getting notified about these drift events and how does it go with being authorised to fly with the cars? Great video too was fun to watch 👍

Love this style of behind the scenes video. What angle {roughly} is your drone camera? I'm pretty sure you've mentioned it in another video but I was wondering if it's the same when following drift cars.

How many batteries get you through a day of filming in such drift event. Do you constantly charge batteries throughout the day or you always bring enough to last you all day without re-charging them?

[@gadgetman404]

Hi them bags you use for drone battery when cold do you sell them.ship to UK or what they called cheers from cold uk

[@3dinosprinting1]

Awesome video man! How can i find people to cooperate so I can chase drifting cars??

[@MrSteeleFPV]

Try checking with a local track that has gas’s roots drifting. See if they will let you fly there. I always start with what you can provide rather than what they can provide you. Offer to give the footage to the venue for free and share with drivers etc. always helps you get your foot in the door

[@3dinosprinting1]

@@MrSteeleFPV Ok thank you so much! I was searching an answer for this like for 3 months, but never thought of that. I was thinking that i would probably need to have a license or a contract with a teem. You are a real one, thanks!

[@TNTchicken99]

Hey Steele, I’ve got a couple questions regarding what drones you choose to fly on the tracks and the regulation around that. Do you only fly at Canadian tracks?

Only us tracks and I have permissions and insurance to be there from the track and organization running the events

[@faithinparadise351]

Thanks man do you have any advise for me on flying a go pro 12 chasing oval dirt track cars? I'm in hawaii and usually have a bright sun and fast moving cloud cover to work with. Is there a decent go pro formula that fits those conditions? As far as a certain ND filter? I like the auto features but I can't get consistent film so far. I flew with no go pro for years so I'm a noob 😂 any advice would help. Man dirt sux! As far as follow footage. I'm always tryna dodge mud chunks and dust rooster tails. 😅
