nnChipmunk v2 | Drone Chase RAW

Hi friends!

Over the last few months I've had a few people request some air-to-air footage. I wanted to share some video I had of my nnChipmunk v2. This footage is uncut and RAW. Hope you enjoy! 

 

Filming a chase scene is one of my favorite things to do because of the coordination with another pilot. In this video I'm flyign with Frank from flywithfrank.com

 

This was one of the first flights with my nnChipmunk v2! We had to wait for the heavy rains to let up but it was worth it, look at all that green!

 

Footage was shot at my favorite place to fly in California - Baylands Park. If you're ever in the Bay Area make sure to check it out!

 

Great shot of the new Canadian canopy for the v2, it really comes to life when you build it with clear material.

 

This plane handles great at any speed. It's very stable in the wind and is a blast to fly.

 

Inverted flight is very stable with the v2, I can fly like this for an entire battery!

 

I'm working my way up to flying through quad race gates. Here I am flying through a narrow patch of trees with line of sight.

Pretty good shots. Can't lie I was mostly jamming to the beats.
