Flyers aren't born, they're built through practice, community, and a few crashes. Get an honest look at the prep work behind the perfect flight.

This year, I pledged to only work with people who think differently and inspire me. This is a behind-the-scenes shot from a shoot with my crew, where we collaborate and bring creative visions to life.

A raw, behind-the-scenes look at a recce day for a shoot at a tech park. This is the planning phase, where we walk the location, test angles, and prepare for the final shots.

Behind every epic shot is a tech recce and trial run. Here I am in Vrindavan, preparing for a Holi shoot by testing flight paths and checking for obstacles. Meticulous planning is key.

The community is everything. Here, I am announcing a GoPro giveaway and editing challenge, inviting my followers to get creative with my footage and be a part of the SkySquad.

A quiet morning moment before a flight. Finding these beautiful sunrays in a park makes the early start completely worth it. This is the peaceful side of the FPV lifestyle.

About The SkySquad: Behind the Scenes & Community

Before you see the final edit, there is always a dusty recce day where we map out angles and check flight paths for obstacles. I don't sugarcoat the process because understanding the planning—and the occasional failed test—is the only way to actually master the air.

I'm Gunj. I started this journey in 2017 with nothing but a drone and a lot of crashes, and now I lead SkySquad to help you skip the frustration I went through. I’m here to help you build confidence, not just show off tricks.
