Pro Pilot vs. Beginner | CINEMATIC FPV BATTLE!

[@NiklasChristl]

And the winner is... PHIL! 🏆 After counting all the votes below the KZbin video and Instagram post, Phil clearly won the FPV Battle with 256 total votes compared to my 210 votes. That sound like we have to do a rematch! 😜 Which country/location would you like to see for the next FPV Battle?

[@louis2179]

Im not in the FPV cagegory but out of all the amazing shots and edits between the both of you, Phil's FPV was dancing on close calls twist which made the video robustly epic in the horizontal viewpoints.

[@prateekmeena2629]

Imagine they both merge their shots and niklas edit the video that shit would be dope!! BTW they both killed it!!

[@RYUBJ67]

Niklas' dynamic editing seems to have been able to cover a little bit of the shortcomings of filming, and Phil's great filming seems to have not been highlighted a little more in editing. In conclusion, both of them made a wonderful and wonderful video that no one could ever see. Thank you👍

[@timonnermay2825]

Idea for next battle: Phil has more editing time while Nik has more time to fly

[@bayzdesigns3275]

YESSSSSSS

Or the opposite is even BETTER

[@pawelmucha_foto]

1:1 Niklas - edit and colors 👌, Phil - sick flying 💪

[@whereverimayroam74]

This is a great adventure for both of you, it made for great content and to be honest .....Niklas wins! Your dolly /vertigo effects really spiced things up. He may have been the pro pilot but your edit really pulled your footage together. This is a fantastic concept and I think I might have to try this with my friends! Hope you guys do this again!

[@erhardschreck2192]

i am not a FPV pilot and want to compliment both pilots for their incredible skills. flying through objects i feel is a special difficult task and clearly phil is a pro doing it. congrats to both for their exceptional skills in flying and quick editing

[@jeremiahtoribio]

Niklas color grade was insane, both incredible videos in such short time.

[@Unreal-v2q]

Yeh if Phil had the same level of colour grading his video would have been 10x more enjoyable to watch (Also with better timing and maybe a few more slow mo's on just a few of the shots I think could have greatly improved the whole flow of the video)

[@leonsview]

This was one of the most entertaining videos I have seen in a while, great job! The storytelling is insane and the shots were so fucking beautiful. I would love to see more FPV challenges of you two (and also a video about your color grading workflow, Niklas, because as Phil said, your grading is insane) - keep up the great work! Greetings from Munich 🤙🏼

[@spokaneman7327]

Ok, so, I started to get into FPV a few years back, during the height of the pandemic. Doing these kinds of shots was exactly what I aspired to do. But, alas, I just do not have a mind for the advanced technical elements of building, repairing or, sometimes, just plain operating the whole set-up. But the flying part itself I could handle. Consequently, in my frustration I packed up everything I'd acquired (about $1200 worth) and stuck it in the back of a closet. I've even avoided even watching FPV videos. Mind you, the DJI digital setups were just coming out and were really expensive, so I didn't even entertain moving in the digital direction. But then I watched this video. Now I'm rethinking getting a DJI setup so I can fly without needing to know advanced electronics. This just looked so damn fun! Thank you for sharing!

Niklas leads for his edit and Phil leads for his insane shots🔥🔥

Phil was damn sick dude, His edits were way far more than I expected dude.

[@Quciak2137]

Phil: 9/10 - Good but to much timelapses Nicklas: 7/10 - Colors are insane, but editing gone a little bit wrong :/ But... Both of the videos are insane!

[@sammytech9464]

I guess Niklas won... Being a Beginner (or as he calls himself), the shots were pretty dope. Editing part was way too good! The music and sound effects integrated so well with Niklas' video! I was definitely mind blown... Coming to Phil, his shots were breath-taking, especially the hole pass thing (great risk dude!). One of my favorites was the flip and going far above you guys, absolutely loved it! As Niklas said, his curves during flight were crazy. But regarding the final video, I guess light (or color grading, whatever it is called) was a major factor deciding the winner, where Niklas obviously had a upper hand. So great job Niklas! Both of you did really well! Keep making such awesome content, and yeah, Niklas, your channel is gonna boom!

[@nilimanitnaware7265]

So true!

[@wanderingyoana]

Honestly, quite a lot of the magic happens in the editing when it comes to FPV - the selection of the shots, the timing, the sound design, the colour grading and I personally like Nikklas' video more.

[@FPVfr3nzy]

The way he threw that dog was personal 💀

[@Mhywdotcom]

Absolutely, Phil creates the movie which you won’t mis every second. It’s heart beating feel. Especially for the dangerous movement and you feel human at the final cut with persons on the hill. Really it’s human and robotics combi. Great!

[@alancorrales6861]

[@vinhdatgn9858]

If only Phil knew how to edit. His shots are insane, I got goosebumps every time watching his shots.

[@kudzaidotnet]

I though Phil's edit was really great. The 1-2-3 cuts to the beat were so smooth

[@Rodzaah]

As a beginner drone pilot and somewhat pro video editor, I genuinely enjoyed watching this! Great job to the both of you!

[@brockjones916]

What do you use to edit?

[@dr.huseyinsahin6536]

Niklas is insane at viseo editing. While he shoot the sunset recording at the last location, his iso settings were not good. But after he edited the clips, it was looking stunning! Phil, I believe, is the best drone pilot I've ever seen. Insane! Thanks for this amazing and exciting video btw.

[@nuthanagantichandrakanth6153]

The last shot of Phil is NEXT LEVEL🤟

[@Thesh00tinggallery777]

This was a really fun video to watch. Awesome idea, super dope drone piloting, really cool editing, sick video man!

[@thanhluan4342]

I call for Phil because he just killing me with the ending 🔥 Niklas did overwhelm with his color grading but i am sold with Phil's FPV skills. Great job for both of you and I really want to see another episode in other places in the future. ❤️

[@ralfputz6076]

What a team, can’t pick a winner, both of equal talent and daring. 👊

[@simonleeboy91]

I think when it comes to color grading + timing with the music, you took the challenge. But when it comes to pure drone movement, and capturing different angles, it makes phil's story telling alot more detailed. Overall, I enjoyed both work so much I cant tell who won, but if you both were a team, him being the pilot and you editing....it'll be a masterpiece. I'm a hobbyist who just started editing and flying drones, hope i reach your guys level!

[@Lucianrider]

Phil Wins, sick flying trumps the editing plus I preferred his music choice.

[@999Garage]

Those were both GREAT! As a new pilot, I learned a lot watching the edits at the end. Good work!

[@gmrkrm]

"Beginner." I actually prefer your smoother gliding shots to his swinging/dodging shots. The only shot of his I liked better was when he got the reveal shot of the mountain going backwards.

[@nickmuscolino8724]

it’s situational he’s used to sport shots while the beginner is used to stabilized drone/ cinematic

I’m late but you both won. Made us all smile and had a great time, that’s what the winnings of life are about.. Both amazing in retrospect and I couldn’t choose… I know if you edited his piloting skills it would look insane.

[@highdefinationmovies7438]

Quality is lit man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@haimygv]

I think Phil is a much better pilot than Niklas, but what matters in the end is how the video looks, and in matters of editing Phil has almost no chance of equaling Niklas. so Niklas wins! By the way I love it, please do it more.

[@theprofessionals1937]

Thumbs up for Phil's Edit. He actually synchronised his footage very nicely over the beats.

[@adinathpravinsaonerkar8999]

[@jellealebregtse4726]

Why not a film/drone battle fot your viewers and that we can send it to you and you choose a winner?

[@perspective_is_the_case]

Niclas video was looking from better from the colour grading perspective, Phill's was relatively dark and loss of details. But from the perspective of difficult tasks about passing close to the objects and small holls Phill made a great job! As we are grading the overall video and music combination I would vote for Niklas!! It was an amazing battle guys, congratulate both of you and expect your next battle to be in Bologna or Firenze Italy!!

AMAZING video, absolutely killer keep it up man. The shots were just plain amazing, super enjoyable to watch

[@Chill50318]

At the end of the day we’re comparing a true FPV drone to a DJI FPV drone, there’s a big difference. A true FPV drone has way more ACRO abilities and a bit harder to control. The DJI has a lot of modes and helpful uses. They’re a bit easier and smoother. This is the reason Phil is able to do more tricks and more technical shots.
