Inside the SkySquad: FPV Drone Behind-the-Scenes
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.
Building SkySquad wasn't about creating a formal classroom, but a landing pad for the pilots I didn't have when I started in 2017. Whether it's testing a new line at a Delhi tech park or scouting raw locations across North India, my focus is on the craft—not just the gear.
Behind every cinematic clip is a rigorous process:
- Tech Recces: We walk the location, test for signal interference, and plan safety buffers before a single motor spins.
- Community Feedback: The SkySquad WhatsApp group is where we trade edits and troubleshoot crashes in real-time. FPV is solo but better together.
- Practical Training: I share raw, high-bitrate footage so you can practice your editing flow without needing to build your own drone from day one.
FPV is technically demanding, but it’s the community that keeps you in the air when the frustration hits. If you're ready to take your flight skills beyond the hobby stage, stop scrolling and start flying with us.
