GADC Fpv Challenge - Orbit your Poi - Winner Announced!

The challenge will run from Wednesday 20th August 10,00 hours until Friday 19th September 22,00 hours ( Your Challenge / Task Must Be Captured Within This Time Frame ) anything entered that is of old stock shall be rejected & proof my be required if any dispute or doubt arises,
shortly after the challenge closes a poll shall be put up for all GADC members to cast their votes !

The poll for voting shall be open till Monday 22nd September 22,00 hours to see who has taken top place, top place winner gets to chose the next challenge, Then the new challenge shall commence asap of that same week !

The challenge set out below are the rules from @Baconfeatures so please read on,

Ideally to be done in acro/manual mode if possible but not a necessity.
Find an interesting point of interest such as a statue, sign post or a particular lamp post that you have an odd obsession with that only you can understand and orbit it as smooth as possible at least 3 times the more interesting the POI the better be it super high or a bit odd or screaming the whole time.
Bear in mind if you are using open prop not to orbit maybe a family member or treasured pet as i imagine GADC does not bear any responsibility for maimed friends/family.
I know a few of us have already done something like this as we have done IGOW so for any super sweaty pilots who think this is too easy i dare you to invert that orbit .

RULES

#1 You the pilot should share a continuous video of this challenge (not a snipped and joined video),
#2 The trick itself has to be completed within 60 seconds or less, with a maximum of 2 minutes total to complete the entire task !
#3 please kindly state at the top of your entry ( this is my entry ) with time date & location, task must be done within the dates set out above,
#4 please state the aircraft/Fpv used in manual or motion,
#5 upload your video via YouTube or Vimeo, if at anytime you would like to change your entry please delete the old one & post the new one, also feel free to add anything with your entry that maybe of interest,

In the “ hopefully unlikely “ event of dispute the original footage maybe required, failure to do so may result in your entry being withdrawn !

This is your challenge so feel free to chat, bant, rant as much as you like or help each other if where when needed but please try to keep it on topic, the rules are very simple as above & below, I look forward to your entries enjoy.
If your new to the challenges you can see what goes on Here

All flights carried out are the sole responsibility of the flyer as per the drone code & any permissions that maybe needed, enjoy & may the force be with you ! :slightly_smiling_face:

You going for a trippy @DodgerFPV @Earwig ? No switch required as that was just evil :smiling_face_with_horns:

I’ll have to see what I can find, and what craft it requires. And probably have to relearn it, too.

What’s a Trippy & Switch??? :face_without_mouth::face_without_mouth::face_without_mouth:

Apparently it can be done with a neo :grin:

Watch dronearchy on YT

The switch is changing direction halfway round

this is my entry :slight_smile: — I can do much better orbits now, but I just cannot beat that location, so here it is!

This happened 4 years ago (May 2021) in Longmoor training camp near Guilford. The quad I used is just being decommissioned right now (read- being transformed for a new life!), I used to call it “The Colour out of Space” (loyal to my Mythos references) - It was a 4S dji self build quad at the time. I think I recorded all this on a gopro session 5.

Not from 4 years ago sorry !

ah! ok - no problems there. Is it possible to put all the rules in the first post - sorry for the hassle, as I cannot find even this statement anywhere at the moment. I just want to have visibility on anything else I might have missed.
PS the rule makes sense I guess. :slight_smile:

Can will do that is no problem, thanks for the pointer apreciated :+1:

For those flying open props I’ll share a tutorial on mapping a radio switch to make a pre-recorded 999 call :wink: :smiley:
