A warm summer evening, a few minutes before sunset… time for a last FPV flight with my quadcopter. These atmospheric shots were done at the banks of the Manidcho Lake, a small but beautiful gem in the outskirts of Augsburg, Bavaria.
A few sailboats use to sail across the lake, a cosy beer garden invites to a rest. A nice place to be. I wondered why this place isn’t overcrowded yet -but on the other hand it also took fifteen years for me to discover this hidden place as well.
My Drone Shots
Most of my aerial shots and videos are done from first-person view using Fatshark goggles and the DJI Phantom 2 V2 with the Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal. I am not a fan of the latest "once click" drones with all the built-in smartphone stuff. Digital video submission does not provide the same, smooth experience than analog 5.8GHz submission and suffers from a low framerate and a high latency - which is absolutely deadly for a pleasant FPV experience.Highlights
