FPV Formation into the Night

by FelipeRC | April 15, 2014 | (0) Posted in Just Fun

Some video footage of spooooky night flying with my FPV buddy Vierfuffzig.

To answer upcoming questions in advance:

We filmed with Sony Actioncam (HDR-AS15) and Gopro Hero 3 Black Edition. Nearly the same sensor, both able to capture night flying at this light environment, but the Gopro image processing is way better tuned.

For FPV we used a PZ0420 (without IR block filter) and an expensive FPV cam with Exviewhad sensor which is able to film in low light conditions.

We think that flying with a spotter is even more important during night ops.

Really enjoyed watching that, nice work!

I imagine landing in the dark field would be the hardest part?

On the FPV cam it was not as on the HD cam but yes that is something we have not been used to. ;-)

This is really cool. It must have been a little nerve racking to FPV at night. I've never tried it.

Awesome video. What wing was being flown here? Also, those blue lights look gorgeous, where did you find them?

I see the models listed in the youtube section. How about those lights still?
