Breaking Gear At The Bleachery!!! Bando Vlog!! #fpv #gopro #vlog
When a Pro pilot texts you and asks if you're wanting to go and break shit... There is really only one thing to say, you tell them "let's do it!!!" This was a great day, but a little costly. Looks like another Mini 11 is broken and I broke my AxisFlying Manta frame. That weak spot showed it's ugly head once again. It was the last one that I had flying. Oh well, the Demibot is ready now. Hahaha, after the first flight I lost an antenna. So that's why the Manta ripped it's last bando! I am a little sad, but this is FPV and the nature of the hobby for most.
Check out that flight footage at the end. That GoPro is not happy... What is the problem? I feel like the 11 mini is just not made as rugged as they claim... @GoPro you should hire me as your tester. No? Then may be not claim it is durable then. It is not as durable as you think, I guess? Lol, not Bobnoxious Rx tough though.
Shout out to @ladyfpv for the T-Shirt!! I really love the way it fits! Thanks again! Grace say's hello, btw!!
Ok, back to the Vlog... I tried a couple little things here... It is pretty noticeable and then some aren't too noticeable. Which is me trying to even out dark and light areas and what's obvious, the filter I used in part of a walk of shame.
I always have fun making these vlogs. I am little late with it only because I have finally pushed this PC past it's capabilities and had to export what I had and come back to it. I hope you guys enjoy it as well!!!
Thanks Fam!! I really appreciate the comments! Those always drive me more than the actual production. Thank you!!!
Not sure when the next Vlog will come out, but hopefully not too long. Until the next time... Never Give UP!!!

Another Grinderino Video! Another Big Crash!! Still Ripping!! #fpv #hdzero #fpvlife #grinderino
Getting them live rips on Discord with a few friends and pushing a my limits. The only way to get better is by pushing yourself past your abilities. I never expected to get slung over the house and into the street from what is almost the start of the backyard. This was a fun one and you can see where I am starting to believe I am more than a shit pilot!! Hahahaha!! Just a daydreaming I guess... Lol, I had a lot of footage hitting the gates, but the ones I pick usually aren't the best, but have a good wreck or something in them.
Anyways, love ya fam!!
The Demibot Is A Killer Of Batteries!! 5 at 5 Time!!! Demibot Postal On Mailbox!!!
All I can say is the Demibot and Grinderino have become my primary rigs... I haven't even looked at the others since I built these 2 amazing frames. The Demibot is a chonker, but I have the Grinderino under 250gs on 3s!!! That is impressive, right? This edit was a couple one packs with the best of each thrown in for the hell of it! I was sort of into this for some reason. I had some fun with the timing of the transitions to the music, for the most part. ADHD got me a couple times and sleep. Something I don't get much of still.
I appreciate you all for the views and comments. The new subs too!! I try to get everyone back, but I found it almost impossible due to some peoples privacy settings. Back to fiddling with this 3d printer @twiztidskyz gave me for a build. I have no idea what I am doing, but it's sort of fun!!
Later!!

Testing Out The Amkov Vlog Cam I Got From @unklStewy! #fpv #vlog
I think for someone that is starting out this camera could be OK. I am used to the quality of the GoPro, and this isn't quite there. However, I do like the features. The flip up monitor, the microphone mounting, the remote control/ charging handle, and the macro lens. I do not know how much this camera would retail for, but from the quality of the recording I would think around 125 US dollars. Perhaps I can get better results if I mess around with the settings some. I will see about that.
Thanks brother! I appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness. I will dive into the camera a little more. This was a opportunity to test it and show you the results out the box, with an ND 8 and a minor correction layer in post.
Like I was saying, for a person getting into Vlogging and on a tight budget, if this camera was around $125, I don't know how much it sold for, then I would say it would make a decent starter camera. I just checked Amazon and it looks like when it was in stock they sold for about that price. I will look into the settings some more and see what it can do. Perhaps it will make a decent webcam. I have used it for that once before.
Thanks fam for the support. I appreciate the comments. You all rock!!! Until next time...

Castle Crash 2.0 Vlog and Awards Ceremony In Time Lapse!!
Here is a vlog. I am not sure if it is a good vlog, but I don't think it is terrible either. I tried to make content everyday, but one of them was just in the morning and in the evening before I crashed. It gets better and once all the parts were in place it was over an hour long. I had to trim a lot off it... It is still long and I know it... it was an attempt at giving you some kind of journey. I know the ending with the 2 time lapse running is a bit busy. It is the whole awards ceremony and everything in between.

@spidersugar_fpv I was inspired by your video, thanks... I hope you like your part, as well as @razzreal_fpv. I certainly enjoyed it. Hahahaha, oh you can thank @TheRealRoopertFPV and @twiztidskyz for breaking down @zbones tent. @thatguygrand it was a pleasure to meeting and rip with you. @wallbanger8389 congrats on winning things, lol! There were many pilots that I didn't meet. Anyways, it was a good time with some cool memories. The wife got meet some cool people too and it made her want to come back again! (like she wouldn't have anyways, lmao)
Thanks Fam for all the support, I really appreciate it!!!!

Castle Crashing With My HDZero DemiBot And A Hero 9 Black!!! #fpv #fpvlife #hdzero #castlecrash23
I had already edited and uploaded this once today, but I was not happy with it at all. I forgot to change the resolution back up to 4k on the first one. I saw it was also choppy from the 25fps instead of the native 29 something FPS.
This one is better anyways. I put more to into it, since it was the best one pack I had of the 3 batteries I got in for the whole weekend. It is what it is, I had to work and I am cool. This turned out to be worth it.
I also got to hang out with some good friends too... I would tag them, but I am sure I would leave someone out
As always I appreciate the support... I would like to shout out @NatDizzy and @ladyfpv for hanging with the wife at the check in. Thank You!!
Later Fam!!

Eastwind Castle's Backwoods Demibot Rippage!! Replacement 11 Black Mini is Working!! #fpvlife #fpv
Just feeling out the area where we are putting the Backwoods Race Track. It has a lot to offer with tight proxy ripping and open straights for full throttle punching! Here's the only thing I got yesterday for footage. Forgot to bring the goggle's sd card and didn't get any Grinderino footage. I did get some vlogging, but need to watch it back to see what is usable, lol...
Wasn't planning on posting this, but I figured what ev's, it is what it is. Not the best footage, but it is OK for me. On the watch the Vlog footy... Thanks for watching!

@zbones Demibot Loves Running Into My Drone! @unklStewy
I am tripping on this! We probably had 6 to 8 near misses, but only one actual collision!! I tried a little slow motion right there before impact. I added another PiP from unklStewy's phone. Too distracting? Trying to figure out some different techniques to make the videos a little more interesting. This is gonna be a short description. Really tired today from lack of sleep. Still dealing with insomnia even though my pain is less.
This is my Manta frame from the video at my mom's house. Running a hero 8 in a silicone sleeve in a hero 9 mount... Lol, hey it works like a charm and have not have the camera ejected either. Hahaha...
Been a rough few weeks for me and my family and band. Both friends I lost thought this hobby was the coolest, which it is. Justin especially! He would like to ride along. I will miss him very much.
Thanks Fam! I always appreciate y'all very much!!

Tree Spot! Hard Spot! Z's Spot! I Always Crash!! #fpv #fpvdrone #fpvlife
I have a few video's coming from this day. Sorry, but only a little, hahaha!! What can I say, I like to fly make content and post it. It helps with my mental state. Something I see that is most important. Poor mental state, poor quality of life. This all leads to nothing good.
Here's another blown out video, lol. I am not the best content creator. i forget things all the time. Like ND filters, or setting my camera for ND filters.
I remembered to set the cmaera, but failed to put in the ND Filter.... Oh Well.
I hope you enjoy. I did have fun all the way around.
Later Fam!

@zbones Tree Spot! Chasing Smoke!! @unklStewy With The Gel Blaster! #fpv #fpvdrone #fpvlife
I got a lot of footy at zbones. Some of it blown all out, but still usable for the most part. This was a fun day, which I needed. Losing friends is hard, losing 2 in 2 weeks is harder. These 2 guys helped relax and enjoy myself. I did not think about my sadness, nor my loss. I could only think about what was right in front of me.
So, I never chased a drone with a smoke bomb on it, nor had zbones. We did terrible, haha, but doesn't matter, we still had a blast. We will start working on chasing more in the future. Meanwhile, unklStewy is trying to hit us with the gel blaster he brought. That was fun too. There is video of zbones shooting at me too and hitting the GoPro, that is coming tomorrow.
I want to thank all my friends on socials and real life. The support and love shown is so powerful and endless. Thank you, everyone! Thanks You!
Let's get it! Never Give Up!!!

HDZero Nano 90 Camera In Zbones Woods! Let's See How I Do!! #hdzero #fpv #fpvdrone
First off big thanks to @RyanQuellet for commenting on my last Nano 90 video. He gave me a tip that helped my video reception improve!!! Lower the Radio power below 250mW. That was it and the video sparkles became quite a bit less. Thanks bro!!
Here we are back at @zbones tree spot. I will be working on mu own tree spot too brother. I will need you help and anyone that wants to help out clearing land and opening up the forest to a Quadtopia of Tree Carnage!!!
This camera definitely inspires more confidence. So hard to describe, but locked in seems best fit. There are many locked in explanations out there from the PID tune to the Pilot's stick skills. As a new pilot to HD I don't think I am that latency sensitive. This camera however, allows you to "feel" what low latency is. You feel more locked in to your drone. It is a little scary too. You find yourself flying much faster than you normally would.
Thanks again Ryan!! You were right and I am a much happier user!!
Still have a bunch of footage to look at.
Later Fam!!

@zbones Woods!! Lets Go!! Another Adventure In Tree Flying!! Sample Saturday!!
No my quad is not on fire. Yes that is a smoke bomb. Yes there will be chase footage, sort of... Neither one of us are any good at it, but to be fair, it was our first time chasing smoke bombs on quads!! This was a great day/ One that was needed in a very bad way. I love FPV and the community.
Thanks to everyone that reached out. @bugsy742 , that video was awesome mate!! Thank you again!

This Ended In A Walk Of Shame! Tree Spots Are So Hard!! Some More HDZero PiP #fpv #fpvlife
Well... I was trying be a professional and give you guys some of that crappy narration that almost everyone does while flying, lmao!! (playing) You don't see it in the video cause my Movo microphone took a hit in my fall to pavement last week. It now cuts in and out randomly. Oh well, I can never have nice things. I don't even know why I care about that anymore. I guess cause it was still newish.... Oh, wait a minute there could be insurance on this microphone. Hahahaha!! Not as bummed now. I forgot to time the clips right too, so the PiP will most likely be off. I would redo it, but I don't save that editing stuff. I will just grin and bare it I suppose. After all I have no idea what I am doing, hahaha....
Testing my skill at my Mom's house. I am a little better I think. Have not flown here in over a year. It is more overgrown now than last year. I will need to get out there with some help and start opening the land up the a little bit. Build up some dive gaps and stuff. Lot's of room for RC Crawling too. The wife has her a crawler. Just a short flight trying not hit any employees cleaning the deck or moving around the property.
This is not the Nano 90 cam. It is the Micro V2, but I put a larger lens on it. A Foxeer Cat 3 lens. Then I run the camera in full 16x9. I like full screens and 4/3 doesn't give you full screens. The little bit of fish would be fixed with lens correction. If the OSD was not on. Also, I am about ready to do an opinion video of the HdZero Goggs. Stay tuned!!
Thanks Fam

Surprise Location!! This Could Be My Future FPV Spot!! #FPV #fpvdrone #fpvlife
Yeah, here it is!! I have mentioned it from time to time that I have 5 acres of land in my family. I have so much work ahead of me though. It needs to be opened up and cleared a little. I would like to create a dive gap on both sides of the property. As you can see, all the trees are pretty much trippy spinning kind of trees. Straight and no lower branches. I will most likely sell off some of the wood to help me with other costs, but I would like to be to build a few raised areas to fly from using the trees there.
I has been just over a year now since my dad has passed. I miss him dearly too. He had dementia there at the end and it was getting worse. I know that my flights and him riding along were something he did remember and looked forward to. I haven't flown here since May of 2022 when I brought @famgfpv2278 here. Right after Castle Crash. I never could bring myself to edit the footage from that afternoon. Then when Dad passed, I had a hard time just being there. All these emotions, all of which I have a hard time regulating. Instead of grieving I would just shove it down deep. I know how bad that is, I really do. I don't deal with loss very well.
FPV is therapy!!! 100%!! I got in some really good packs today, but this was the best one pack on the Hero 8. The release of emotions I experienced was calming. I needed this after losing my friend JD last week, I was feeling the sadness building up... I flew 4 packs and every pack was filled with a feeling of peace. Like Dad was right with me riding along!!! I love and miss you Dad!!
Thanks Fam!!!

I just got the Nano 90 Cam From HdZero!! It Feels A Little Bit Different!
Yup, I am always late to the party, but here I am now, posting about the camera. This was my first pack, but second plug in. I had to tighten some motor screws. I installed it on the Micro Apex sub 250 build. I understand what all the hype is about too. I don't think I am too latency sensitive. At first I really didn't have that wow this is crazy feeling. So that was a little bit disappointing. Before the end of the pack I was definitely noticing a difference. I rip a little faster than my normal and I take it easy around the lines. I have a habit of breaking brand new stuff... This is 560@90 Cropped I think? Why cropped? I like to use as much of my screens as possible. Though it may not be cropped. I was messing around there for a minute before this flight.
Thanks for the watch!! Let me know if you think you notice it in my flying. For those that know my flying, lol.... Later Fam!!!

The End Of Our Vacation!!!! Trip Vlog Part 5!!!
This is it!! The last edit from the Independence Day vacation. We had to cut it all short due to my injury, which is healing. I very proud of my wife who the night before we were supposed to originally leave had a sciatic flare up and was in the bed for 2 days. We are just a couple old people, well she's my young lady, so I am old, she is not, lol... nice save there... I doubt she will read the description. I don't think she watches my channel.
Getting this last video out there was hard. It was the end of a great vacation and the return to reality. A reality that had been hitting us hard. We lost a friend unexpectedly the day after we got home. We will miss him dearly and the company will never be the same now he is gone. I did help his mother with some funeral costs, plus I will buy his Tahoe he had been trying to sell me for years. I never had the money to buy it until recently. I was planning on surprising him before the summer was out. His mother will be able to use the money and I know he would be happy we are helping her in her time of need.
Anyways, I hope the video was watched before the description was read. It is a happy little video. Thanks for everything Fam!!

Mrs. Noxious Bando Adventure!! Exploring An Abandoned Paper Mill!
It's a little long, so sit back and relax. My wife and son take my camera and explore the mill while Don-e and I get in the packs! If I hadn't of fallen and wasn't in pain, I would have remembered to set the camera for lower light. Oh well, we are coming back in November and I will have more cameras and lights. We will hit the rest of the plant, there is a lot more than what we hit. Check out the links below to learn about the location if you are interested.
My wife and I thank you for taking the time to watch this. I think she did a good job for her first time.
Later Fam!!!

Ripping The Paper Mill With @Don-EfpV!!! Best One Pack Rip!!
This was literally the first pack at this place!! I was in so much pain, pissed off and ready to get that adrenalin flowing to help ease the pain. I told Don-E I was about to get the best flights of the weekend. I think I did too!
After this we went to a steakhouse to treat my brother to a nice steak dinner and my family too! Hahaha, you see me in these videos... I got a fat belly and it ain't from drinking beer either!! Hahahaha...
Thanks again brother, we had a great time! Thanks Grace, you are an amazing wife! Thank you son for coming along too!

Bobnoxious Rx Meets @Don-EfpV !!! Trip Vlog Part 4.1
Look who made it to Don-E!!! Thanks to my wife for coming along and letting me sidetrack her vacation for my drone meets!!! She is one amazing woman!! You guys should thank her too! She's the reason I get to do this fun stuff!!! This was a paper mill at one time, but a few other things in the past. I will work on her exploration video tomorrow. She had found pictures of the plant from various times while in operation. Check out that chair just chilling at the end. Just like the @TheProperPeople, a channel I love to watch!! I would love to rip some of the spots they go to!
Don-E, it was a pleasure to meet you in person. TBH, felt like we had already met before, lol!!!! Man this was a great time! We will definitely be back for Thanksgiving. Grace said if you're not doing anything for Thanksgiving we'll come get you and bring you to her moms.
I hope you guys enjoy the latest adventure. This is turning out longer than I imagined, not sure what I imagined, but not all these parts. Hahahaha, I am out of here!

Our Vacation Trip Vlog Part 3!!
There isn't any flying in this one, sorry... Just me documenting as much as I can remember to turn on the camera. I forgot a couple things here, one was stabilization, second was turning in the mic... Oh that gets me all the time. I will get it eventually, ort I won't and will continue to put out mediocre content, LMAO!!! Seriously, I do try. This is not really in my nature, I am not a camera man. I don't like to be in front of the camera. I don't feel like I am all that interesting or special. Somehow I have convinced myself this is something I would be good at and people would want to see it for the entertainment...
I certainly appreciate my subs and commenters. Thank you guys very much!! I continue to try and never give up on myself, since you guys haven't! Thank you!
Later Fam! I have more to edit!!

The Trip Vlog, Part Two!!! @nappyfpv Showed Me His Cincinnati Spot!! The Stilts!!!
I took it pretty easy and still broke the Hero 8 and three of my quads. Oh and then I also forgot the mic again... I am sorry Fam!! I suck as a Vlogger, but I still try. I think it is just too much stuff for this old man's half-baked brain!!! Hahahaha, just playing. You actually can teach an old dog new tricks. I learned how to FPV, pretty much alone for the first 6 months. I met this dude Aythix FPV and he helped me out big time!! So, the old adage is not true!!! I did not spend one second inside of a simulator either. Learned it 100% the hardest way possible, lol... It was costly, both financially and mentally.
Digression is a part of my life as an ADHD person... Hahahaha, at least I can still laugh at myself. Let's see, I broke the bottom plate of a Source One V5, the motor windings on my Source One V3 rig, both out of commission until after the trip. I broke the Sub 250 Micro Apex at the in-laws house the day before. Ripped the 9v pad off the FC for the VTX show how. Still confused about that. I also broke the Hero 8 on this day. That was all I was down at this point. I still had 1 V3 left in 4s and the 2 HDZero Manta rigs left and only the Orange for flight footage. I had another meetup with Don-E the next day, and we had to get on the road, so this day was a little shorter than planned.
All in all, this was a great day meeting up with a good person and awesome pilot!!
Later Fam!!!
