So when would a cinema camera-toting huge FPV drone be really useful to a cinematographer? One idea: the POV of a flying object (dragon? super hero?) For this shoot, we create the POV of a WWII fighter jet landing on the desk of an Aircraft Carrier.
Big shoutout to the awesome team at the USS Hornet in Alameda CA. Visit if you're in the area, it's an amazing slice of history and very impressive to see in person: https://www.uss-hornet.org

It's roughly the size of an Inspire 2, but, with a 12S (50V) X-Class power train, packs a whole lot more speed and lifting power, not to mention the acrobatic chops of an #fpv racing drone.
FPV-style #drone #cinematography is a great way to create some uniquely kinetic shots. My hope with this build is to translate the look up to larger, more cinema-friendly cameras.
