How to PERCH your FPV Drone! - Trick Series

With drones, we can fly like a bird wherever we want. And also like a bird, we can perch up on top of tall objects! Perching is a unique and fun part of freestyle, and there's a lot that can be done with it!

Bubby’s precision in that last shot was unreal!

The reaction of PDEVX and Drew on Bubbys powerloop-perch = FPV family love!

[@FlyZoneFpv]

Awesome fellas. Bubby nailed it. Again Drew 🤣🤣👊🏻

[@dmanalang9037]

Felt that Bubby’s pure joy after making that trick! Good fun!

[@dbcooperfpv9883]

Funny how so many of us former skaters end up in FPV…and Bubby totally demonstrated the durability of his frame getting that power loop to perch 😂 that was awesome and worth it!

[@trisfpv3002]

The flow of skating helps

[@andrewut7ya511]

Lol, im 37 years old this year, traded in my board for a tx and never looked back. I still push around once in a while but i get the same thrill from my drone with no slams ,well its not me slamming anyways, drone takes a beating but heals quicker than me.

[@dbcooperfpv9883]

@@trisfpv3002 definitely in reading the environment and finding lines

[@dbcooperfpv9883]

@@andrewut7ya511 I took a really bad hit in college & donated my board to a neighbor kid, also didn’t look back for about 20yrs when I put together a board to see if my bulldog wanted to ride one - she’s still not sure 😂 I should throw the board in the truck when I fly some places - make the walks of shame easier…ish 😂

[@andrewut7ya511]

@@dbcooperfpv9883 yea, always good to have a board around. just be careful, i stay in decent shape but i was shocked at how different skating feels after slowing down from skating daily. I dint do anything dumb or hurt myself, but i could feel the potential for injuries that never worried me when i was younger like rolled ankles that will mess up work ,etc... long story short, fly hard skate slow lolol

[@peskadrone]

Yup! I'm going to order more props now.

[@Loki_FPV666]

Freestyle totally reminds me of three dimensional skateboarding. I'm getting a bit too old to skate anymore but you're never too old to fly drones.

Bubby's a legend!

I am going to start using my headphones to focus like that lol! Great job Bubby!!!

Bubby you did it again my man , that was sick ✊️

[@arkaei]

that was such a wholesome reaction at the end, I actually felt that.

[@jana171]

Two words: Bubby da Bomb 🙂 LFG that was AWESOME !

[@fpvgood]

it’s call bubby perch⚡️

[@amen_ra6926]

Last weekend at Kwad Camp, we witnessed Bubby maneuvering in and around a playground jungle gym. He was powerlooping, matty flipping, and zig zagging through it. It was crazy. His skills are off the hook.

[@pierce0690]

good shit bubby

[@andrecpu]

AWESOME!!!

great stuff bubbster

Really love how pdevx is in all the new vids. So much talent and a really nice guy!!!

You guys are the skateboarders of droning. Skateboarding is ok. You guys are really really good. I film sunrises and sunsets, aka peace. :)

Paul Nurkkala perching on a moving train from his "Best Flight of 2018" viddie was pretty epic. . .

I didn’t realize the benefits of having airmode on a switch. Awesome! Thank you!

[@tilgare]

Nice seeing the tiniest bit of Let's Fly - I fly his motors so I'm always thinking of him, but hadn't realized how long it has been between episodes.

[@imu4869]

Sick landing Bubby! love the dedication too man.

[@lnrmedia208]

These videos are so enjoyable, too many FPV guys way too serious nowadays. Keep the content coming!

[@dpxfpv]

When I want to introduce someone who does not know anything about fpv I point them to RR or maybe a pilots channel for a full flight if they're like really interested. Of course then Bardwell if they want to start flying hehe.

[@r3beatty]

One of the kindest, happiest vids i have seen in a while.

[@DavidOwensuk]

Bubby you da man! great video more like this please!

[@mauriciohvargas]

So much fun, thank you!

[@rmdcade1717]

If it's at all possible, no matter how hard, give it to Bubby and he'll nail it within ten minutes. If it's not possible, give him another twenty minutes.

[@SwainixFPV]

got nothing to add except great to see fellow trans folk in the hobby :)

[@FreakoutFPV]

Very nice

[@pohoronshic]

Top notch as always 👍

[@ChainsawFPV]

I like to perch and disarm in places that I want clean sound of something. GoPro's pick up bird noises and stuff good when its quite.

[@joelyfpv7075]

Very nice, will have to try

[@Shauny_D]

Add flip in's and flip outs. It'll be even more skateboardy.

Great video guys

[@krusbaer11]

interesting to see someone else using a mix of thumb (left) and pinch (right) technique on the controller :)

[@ch3w3yfpv42]

Them struggling to do it on top of that ball speaks volume to how good Steele is doing it on top of a flagpole

This ^^^^. 😂

Hey the young blood did it again,respect for bubby

[@Catiadr]

Add a small magnet to the center of your frame and try spinning on a metal pole.

[@miquelenox]

I would to know how much quads he lost trying this trick. Cool video, more like this please.

[@MadDragon75]

It's more challenging when your pack is bottom mount.

Or when your drone look like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/eauwYXSGhqxqo6s

[@Kensgo]

Hello is there a way for the dji air unit or the caddx vista to get live audio ?

[@JoeMommaFPV]

pro tip, don't disarm, put your air mode on a switch and when you go to purch flip off air mode and you never have to stop your props or worry about your quad flipping over from air mode spazzing out. Edit, Saw drib metioned air mode on a switch. I don't think it's really a "Crutch" like bubby said. But if you've ever tried to go down a spiral slide while freestyling a park it's easier to take off and go down without your quad flipping out when the props touch the side of the slide, or worrying about timing your arming right to take off at the end of the slide.

[@huskyboystv1806]

what antennas are yall using on your drones especially the one that looked like a double fat one

[@MarkJaquith]

The double fat ones are just the standard DJI Air Unit antennae (in a TPU mount).

[@RobertOHaver]

I'm in Orlando do you guys ever do meet ups?

[@LetsFlyRC]

Keep an eye out for the next Kwads n Coffee. We usually post it on Facebook.

[@ieuangwynne7736]

More micro drone content pls

[@brandongroves4465]

Just watched a video by max beam where he flies like Mr. steal la drib and wild Willy. It would be a cool video/ maybe contest where you compare imitators with the real pilots videos and see if any of the imitators are good enough to fool anyone. The environment would kind of screw it up. Might give it away.

no air mode for me i crash a lot and. i can save myself from a crash with out air mode.

First thing is to learn to land softly... I'm out

[@DKTek07]

Wait! A simple landing is called perching? Silly droners, pinnacle landings are basic. Try doing a BOTTLE FLIP landing on an elevated pinnacle, approaching from below …. I guess y’all never flew RC Helicopters 🤔.
