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 Maxx. From his early days finding his FPV rythym in the Big Apple, to fully sending on majestic waterfalls and drone surfing heavy swells on Oregon's boneyard beaches---- this is BenyFPV!

ThatBananaFPV
Send us Fan Mail 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, we'll dive into the stories behind the flights, the filming, the community he's helped build, and why his passion for FPV continues to inspire pilots everywhere.

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 set out to look beyond subjectivity and uncover the deeper language, artistry, and progression that define FPV freestyle. Welcome to the inaugural Big Balls Freestyle Cometition. Special thank-yous to SiegeFPV and SlackersFPV for joining the podcast to share their perspectives and experiences from judging the innaugural contest.

MaXX Frames
Send us Fan Mail 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 at a time. We welcome MaXX Frames to the Kwadverse this month and his designs that give the freedom to fly without restriction. Support the show Thank you to our Sponsors, MaXX Frames and MtnMicro.com.

Supply_FPV
Send us Fan Mail 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 got arrested for tiny whooping. This is urban exploration from a whole new perspective. Time to send it with SupplyFPV.

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 idea led to a unique pilot exchange program—one not built on free gear, but on shared journeys, new environments, and meaningful human connection. By trading home turf and flying side by side, pilots gain more than footage—they gain perspective, friendship, and inspiration.

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 Cézanne and Salvador Dali — he paints the world in motion. Trex.VTX reminds us that FPV isn’t always about power or precision. Sometimes, it’s about harmony. Finding the right moment… and letting a tiny drone carry you through a dream.

MayoFPV ReduX
Send us Fan Mail 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. If you’ve spent any time scrolling MayoFPV’s Instagram, you’ve seen it—build after build, polished, intentional and flawless. No clutter. No noise. Just precision. 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 flight footage with his tight-knit NYC-area FPV Crew. In this episode, we’re talking about what he’s learned through building, flying, and collaborating, how his perspective on FPV has changed, and where he thinks micro-FPV is headed next. From frame design to flying philosophy to what still excites him about this hobby… This is MayoFPV—the ReduX Episode. Support the show Thank you to our Sponsors, MaXX Frames and MtnMicro.com.

FPVSmurf
Send us Fan Mail From the screech of subway brakes to the silent hum of four tiny props cutting through the urban sky... we welcome FPVSmurf to the Kwadverse! — he’s pushing the boundaries of big-city tiny whoop sends to see the world from above and share it all one flight at a time. He could be considered one of the most elusive micro drone pilots out of New York City. No sponsor plugs, no face reveals—just a backpack, a transmitter, and a tiny whoop built for stealth and range. When his drone disappears, he takes us into some pixelated alternate world like his namesake implies. The Metro is his flight deck, sending his Tiny Whoop soaring through bridges, diving the skyscrapers of NYC and exploring the most iconic architecture the 5 boroughs has to offer. And then poof- he’s gone---- until next time. Support the show Thank you to our Sponsors, MaXX Frames and MtnMicro.com.
