Incredible! Good job! 👍🏻

[@southspearmedia]

Cheers mate 😊

[@VideoLife_FPV_Wild]

Absolutely stunning shots! 😍

[@southspearmedia]

Cheers! Winter up here is running it's course but hopefully I can move things up a level this Summer 🤙

[@southspearmedia]

Oh, your channels mega! Sub'd 👍

[@wolfgangb5462]

Fasten your seat belts! Incredible shots of the Eshaness cliffs & coast line. FPV brings your skills to a even higher level.

[@southspearmedia]

Thanks Wolfgang, the fpv certainly brings a different take on things and I get to pretend I'm a topgun pilot 🤣

[@marcushogan6613]

Stunning work as always Nick! What's your fpv setup?

[@southspearmedia]

Thanks very much. I have a few bits if kit, for that I used my iflight titan xl5 and a homebuild based on a speedybee frame, iflight stack and iflight xing motors. Running a hero 10

Simply excellent Nick, every video you release raises the bar. I hope the large media companies such as the BBC are aware of your skills. Best regards Sarah

[@southspearmedia]

Thanks Sarah, I'll take all the help I can get! But I can tell you there's something in the pipeline 😉

epic footage, (as per usual) what is the music, it really suits the scenery

[@southspearmedia]

Thanks Gary, the artist is Cody Martin and I think that track is called Sonosaurus. I say think becuase I use a lot of his stuff, I really like the style for 'epic' shots I think it works too 😄

[@GavinMcC]

That's outstanding 👌 I'm getting bored of flying normal Mavic 2 pro now so going fpv 👍🏻😂 first stop Glencoe

[@southspearmedia]

Best of luck Gavin, you've got plenty gullies and features to play with around Glen Coe, used to snowboard them hills many years ago 🤙

Shetland is my home ,,but thanks to this young man ,I get to see places that I have never been. Awesome filming . Just so stunning

[@leeconnett7532]

Superb. Is that mavic3 or FPv

[@southspearmedia]

Thanks Lee, this is shot with an FPV rig. I do have the dji fpv drone but it's not precise enough for me to do this type of thing so I prefer using homebuilt rigs (easier to repair too!). I have the Mavic 3 cine and quite enjoy that, I think there's still some bugs to work out in the next firmware update but the camera is very impressive. You really couldn't do any of that with any of the Mavic range, certainly not in real time anyway (possibly some of the shots if sped up, but the waves would look unnatural and frantic)

[@leeconnett7532]

@@southspearmedia That explains a lot. I’ve only seen this kind of shot from rigs but didn’t realise you were doing that. Have to say it’s the best way to really capture the drama of Shetland scenery. Gives you the sense your one of the birds and seeing what they see. Pretty sure I won’t get even close to this with my old little spark when I get there in a couple of weeks 🤣

[@southspearmedia]

@@leeconnett7532 thanks for taking the time to say. I agree with the whole "birds eye view" I try hard to be smooth and mimic how a bird may fly (getting better slowly). I'm sure you'll do just fine with your spark and best of luck when you visit, I really hope the Orca are about for you 🤞

[@RGMGFitness]

Crushed it! Very nicely done!

[@southspearmedia]

Thank you very much, greatly appreciated 👍

[@seb-depp]

Very cool. Love it! Cool hitting that gap. Been happy to visit Shetland this June and flew Eshaness as well. If you're interested check out my Shetland vids.
