My friend Phil and I competed against each other in a cinematic FPV Battle! 3 different locations, 5 minutes flight time per Spot and 3 hours to edit a cinematic 1 minute clip. As Phil is a pro pilot with more than 8 years of experience, we decided to give this challenge a little twist by also editing the videos by ourselves. We explored some of the craziest landscapes on the island of Mallorca and risked everything in order to get the best shots possible. If you guys enjoyed this video, we'll fly to another country and do it again!

Niklas color grade was insane, both incredible videos in such short time.
Im not in the FPV cagegory but out of all the amazing shots and edits between the both of you, Phil's FPV was dancing on close calls twist which made the video robustly epic in the horizontal viewpoints.
Love Niklas’s color grading but I liked Phil’s shots and edits. This was very cool!
Idea for next battle: Phil has more editing time while Nik has more time to fly

Or the opposite is even BETTER
Niklas' dynamic editing seems to have been able to cover a little bit of the shortcomings of filming, and Phil's great filming seems to have not been highlighted a little more in editing. In conclusion, both of them made a wonderful and wonderful video that no one could ever see. Thank you👍
This is a great adventure for both of you, it made for great content and to be honest .....Niklas wins! Your dolly /vertigo effects really spiced things up. He may have been the pro pilot but your edit really pulled your footage together. This is a fantastic concept and I think I might have to try this with my friends! Hope you guys do this again!
1:1 Niklas - edit and colors 👌, Phil - sick flying 💪
Killer job from both of you! Niklas' edit, especially with the sound matching was imho better, but Phils flying was so much more fluid that the overall has to go to him for the sheer pleasure if the visuals. Again, great work from both of you!
Wow! First time to watch an FPV Drone battle shot and editing for just 3 hrs! This is sick! Honestly! Both of you! AMAZING! Looking forward for the next Shots of you two!

i am not a FPV pilot and want to compliment both pilots for their incredible skills. flying through objects i feel is a special difficult task and clearly phil is a pro doing it. congrats to both for their exceptional skills in flying and quick editing
I am not even into drones, and randomly came across this video. I have visited all of these places and know what they are like, but seeing them from a different angle was just amazing. I got so into this video that I watched it with the same facial expression as Niklas had whilst flying. Beginner pilot? would have never thought. This is one of handful of videos I actually commented on since I got a youtube account and I feel it deserved every single second of my time. Inspirational and creative and made me consider a new hobby. Thank you and well done.

I think when it comes to color grading + timing with the music, you took the challenge. But when it comes to pure drone movement, and capturing different angles, it makes phil's story telling alot more detailed. Overall, I enjoyed both work so much I cant tell who won, but if you both were a team, him being the pilot and you editing....it'll be a masterpiece. I'm a hobbyist who just started editing and flying drones, hope i reach your guys level!

Amazing video! Both of you are amazing pilot with different style!
This was one of the most entertaining videos I have seen in a while, great job! The storytelling is insane and the shots were so fucking beautiful. I would love to see more FPV challenges of you two (and also a video about your color grading workflow, Niklas, because as Phil said, your grading is insane) - keep up the great work! Greetings from Munich 🤙🏼
Honestly, quite a lot of the magic happens in the editing when it comes to FPV - the selection of the shots, the timing, the sound design, the colour grading and I personally like Nikklas' video more.
What a team, can’t pick a winner, both of equal talent and daring. 👊
What an amazing footage! Thanks for the video mate! Awesome to watch! Every minute of it
The last shot of Phil is NEXT LEVEL🤟
If only Phil knew how to edit. His shots are insane, I got goosebumps every time watching his shots.

I though Phil's edit was really great. The 1-2-3 cuts to the beat were so smooth
Man, this video is my favorite of all your videos (of course, all of them are great)!!! And I was surprised that Phil doesn't edit. I follow his work, he has amazing videos and works.
You guys are the winners,it doesn't matter who good in editing who good in shoot,the point is you can make viewer's get goosebumps and get what we want when they watching this amazing video,specifically me haha,great job you two love that✊🔥
They both were like like riding a dramatic roller coaster that I both loved! I honestly think if they team up together to build a video together it would be perfect! The video would be balanced like yin and yang. I would love to see them collab with another team and do the same challenges
Absolutely, Phil creates the movie which you won’t mis every second. It’s heart beating feel. Especially for the dangerous movement and you feel human at the final cut with persons on the hill. Really it’s human and robotics combi. Great!
This was a really fun video to watch. Awesome idea, super dope drone piloting, really cool editing, sick video man!
Ok, so, I started to get into FPV a few years back, during the height of the pandemic. Doing these kinds of shots was exactly what I aspired to do. But, alas, I just do not have a mind for the advanced technical elements of building, repairing or, sometimes, just plain operating the whole set-up. But the flying part itself I could handle. Consequently, in my frustration I packed up everything I'd acquired (about $1200 worth) and stuck it in the back of a closet. I've even avoided even watching FPV videos. Mind you, the DJI digital setups were just coming out and were really expensive, so I didn't even entertain moving in the digital direction. But then I watched this video. Now I'm rethinking getting a DJI setup so I can fly without needing to know advanced electronics. This just looked so damn fun! Thank you for sharing!
This guy is absolute beast in editing. He always comes up with the best edits possible with the footage. More love to you Niklas
Phil wins! Man, his editing was really good, loved how he matched the music with the effects...You won on the colors, so amazing!!
As a beginner drone pilot and somewhat pro video editor, I genuinely enjoyed watching this! Great job to the both of you!

I think you both won, even having such an excellent challenge looks like crazy fun. I'm inspired by you guys and I'm defo finna take up flying as a hobby now. GGWP!!
top effort on this one guys, fun to watch and some quality footage
I liked your both videos man.. Brilliant content. Keep up guys.
This was so entertaining and cool to watch would love more of these
Niklas is insane at viseo editing. While he shoot the sunset recording at the last location, his iso settings were not good. But after he edited the clips, it was looking stunning! Phil, I believe, is the best drone pilot I've ever seen. Insane! Thanks for this amazing and exciting video btw.
one of my favorite content ive ever seen so sick!
Phil cleaning kids off the laptop screen...
They both did an outstanding job in such an extremely short amount of time! BRAVO 👏👊👍😎
Had to watch 2 times to decide who won the game, Phil wins.
Haha, so Funny. Love your sense of Humor and the best: you can feel how much fun you had while doing it. Keep it up.
Niklas shots are very amazing for a clam video style. The smooth movement are very relaxing and i enjoyed it a lot. But phill just on another level. I feel like if phill get time to map the area then he can pull up some of the best shots and niklas editing will make them superb.
I guess Niklas won... Being a Beginner (or as he calls himself), the shots were pretty dope. Editing part was way too good! The music and sound effects integrated so well with Niklas' video! I was definitely mind blown... Coming to Phil, his shots were breath-taking, especially the hole pass thing (great risk dude!). One of my favorites was the flip and going far above you guys, absolutely loved it! As Niklas said, his curves during flight were crazy. But regarding the final video, I guess light (or color grading, whatever it is called) was a major factor deciding the winner, where Niklas obviously had a upper hand. So great job Niklas! Both of you did really well! Keep making such awesome content, and yeah, Niklas, your channel is gonna boom!

Amazing skills from both of you guys those both the editing and flying is impressive but the edits really bring out the power of those clips amazing work guys!!
Oh my lord.... my mouth felt also open. Your flights, captures, en editing is ssiiickkkkk😮😮😮❤
I’m surprised to say but Niklas won because of the color grading, just makes the whole thing look more polished and epic. But amazing work of both of you guys, I wish you did an edit with both footage as a reel. That would be sick

Phil Wins, sick flying trumps the editing plus I preferred his music choice.
A fun video and cool concept! You both did a great job!
It is really funny how you guys are soaked into edits of each others :D I was like "oh funny how they are move their heads in order to flight" then I realize that I am doing the same :D - that is the point of immersive flight! 👍great job both of you!
Phil had the sick moves, but Niklas has the colour grading and editing skills. I don t know what is better.
Quality is lit man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Speechless. Really enjoyed it.❤💪
Always a pleasure to see again this video
I love both of them, but the second dude video was on point!!! I loved his entire video. His sound clips matched his video every second. PHIL WINS
Niklas wins for his edit but phils wins for his amazing shots..... Both of you are just insane man!! Can't even decide who is the winner.......but i think my vote goes to niklas.
Phil you made both of you part of the video that meant a lot . You are the best in my book
I'm going to vote for Niklas - such a great video guys this was awesome to watch!!
Phil definitely flew and got better lines and content, Niklas colors, lighting and edits with sound and timing was definitely amazing, close call for sure, wish lighting was corrected on Phil's and a 6hr edit compiled from both pilots footage together would be amazing....
Wow that was epic! You both win getting to fly such awesome locations as that. Both edits were jaw dropping to say the least.

Niklas wins but Phil shots are op especially the one in the end!!
I think Phil is a much better pilot than Niklas, but what matters in the end is how the video looks, and in matters of editing Phil has almost no chance of equaling Niklas. so Niklas wins! By the way I love it, please do it more.
Amazing shots both of you! Nice editing btw, its was an epic film..
Always love to see people tip their heads. Makes me laugh every time even though I do it.😂

Can't compare ! Loved both edits!
Amazing shots and both videos are insane. :)
Really cool to see the skills combined into a final product; y'all are definitely a dynamic duo. Phil wins for flying hands-down, but Niklas had better lighting and editing.
