BenyFPV
Send us Fan Mail
This month we welcome BenyFPV! A NYC-based microFPV and MaxxFrames team pilot who has become known as the glue that holds together the city's micro-drone crew and welcomes pilots into some of the biggest FPV adventures of their lifetimes. Beny was one of the first to send DJI digital whoops to the tops of NYC's most poignant skyscrapers while most were still just watching the review videos to figure them out. He just came off of a once in a lifetime pilot exchange in the Pacific Northwest with Jimmy Sprinkles, Baboo, FPVegan and M...
ThatBananaFPV

He brings analog dreams to life across the New York City FPV scene, he’s event co-sponsor of Beast of the East and he’s the pilot known simply as That Banana. I would call him the unofficial Mayor of NYC guerrilla whooping. He's spent years searching out and carving up the city's hidden lines alongside legends like FPV-Vegan, Botgrinder, Kazi, and Apache. From the iconic Nights of Columbus sessions to Pulling Up the Ladder, his gritty analog street-style FPV mini-films have quietly helped define the 1st generation of urban FPV. Today...
Baboo's Big Ball-Z Freestyle Contest ft. SiegeFPV and Slackers FPV
Send us Fan Mail
What happens when FPV freestyle is judged not by opinions, but by equal parts flow , style and difficulty? In this episode, we step inside the freestyle dreams of Baboo FPV—a pilot whose imagination was shaped by years of parkour, skateboarding, and a relentless drive to push the micro-FPV Freetyle movement. What began as an idea for a new community micro- freestyle contest quickly evolved into a deeper question: what does great freestyle actually mean? To find out, Baboo assembled a diverse panel of judges, bringing together different perspectives and experiences. Together, they se...

The MaxxFrames M2 is more than carbon fiber and geometry. It wasn’t born in a polished workshop or corporate lab. It was born in the bandos — abandoned concrete playgrounds where broken windows, tight gaps, and unforgiving crashes shaped every line of its design. What started as a machine for surviving freestyle sessions escaped those buildings and spread worldwide, flying through the Pacific Northwest, the skies and structures of NYC and across the globe. This episode explores the creator, the culture, the team pilots and the frame that is earning its legend one pack...

City noise, steel, motion, rhythm. He packs light, hops the train, and disappears into the pulse of New York City—seeing lines where others see limits. A micro-FPV freestyle pilot with a skate-inspired style, he turns the air around him into a flowing, cinematic skatepark.
But it’s not just about the tricks. It’s about presence. Catching moments like filming "Pulling up the Ladder" with the FlyTribe Crew, finding joy in every lipo, every flight, every unexpected line.
And yeah—he’s also the first pilot I’ve ever met who...
Jimmy Sprinkles feat. Pacific Northwest Pilot Exchange Program
Send us Fan Mail
From the streets of New Jersey to the misty forests and rugged coastline of the Pacific Northwest, FPV pilot Jimmy Sprinkles has carved out a path defined by motion, perspective, and purpose. In this episode, we explore how flying through towering trees, cascading waterfalls, and windswept cliffs reshaped not just his piloting style—but his entire way of seeing the world.
Jimmy’s explorations and pursuits sparked a strong philosophy about flying drones: FPV may not change the world, but it can absolutely change how you experience it. That...
Trex.VTX
Send us Fan Mail
This month we welcome Trex.VTX to the Kwadverse. He slips into forgotten spaces, hidden sculptures, quiet vantages, places that feel half-asleep. His drones are small enough to disappear and what they capture feels less like footage and more like dreams. Color-rich. Surreal. His flights match the frequencies around him — not just radio, but energy. The moment when the hum of the motors syncs with a space he’s in, the flight stops feeling mechanical- it feels like floating. Through sun-washed courtyards, between weathered stone, across scenes that echo with the vibes of Cé...

Send us Fan Mail
Today’s episode is a little more laid-back and a lot more FPV. We’ve got three micro-FPV pilots at the table, batteries charged and goggles off, sitting down to talk about what’s happening right now in the FPV world. From recent events and races to trends, tech, and what’s getting pilots excited—or frustrated—we’re just kicking back and talking shop. If you love tiny drones and big opinions, you’re in the right place. Let’s get into it.

Three years ago, we sat down with a pilot who was quietly refining what “clean-builds” meant in micro-FPV. Since then, the scene has evolved, the tech has leveled up, and his work has only gotten sharper.

From NYC, MayoFPV is known for building some of the newest micro-FPV frames out there, and more recently, for putting those builds in the air with a growing archive of f...
