I have been learning to fly helicopters and quadcopters for about 8 years, with the one desire to film wakeboarders from the air. I started filming professional wakeboarders around the same time, and have been working towards this goal ever since. I didn't really know where to go to learn about it, and everything was so expensive. I crashed thousands of dollars worth of helicopters trying, fried escs in the lake, and spent countless hours on the simulator.
Finally, thanks to watching flitetest videos, and David's rc explorer videos in the past, and thanks to aquacopter and naza gps, I now have a super stable, waterproof Quad that I can get great footage with. My next step is to add fat shark goggles, so I can follow the boat while I'm sitting in it. Watch out for my future videos on wakeboardingfilms.com
But, for now, check out my first video from the middle of the lake in Orlando, Florida, at O'town Watersports.
