For my big idea I wanted to teach people how to identify some of the most common tricks used in FPV Freestyle.
Below are 3 common tricks you are going to learn to identify:
Trick 1
The Power Loop:
A Power Loop is a circular drone maneuver where the drone pitches back to ascend, flips upside down at the top, and then descends to complete the loop, returning to near its starting altitude.
To spot a Power Loop:
Look for a steep upward pitch followed by an inversion.
The drone traces a continuous circular path.
It ends with the drone leveling out at a similar altitude to where it started.
In this case the drone Power Loops in between the pilots legs.
Trick 2
The Matty Flip:
A Matty Flip is a drone trick where the drone flips forward then flies underneath an obstacle flying backwards.
To spot a Matty Flip:
The drone flips below an object, flies backwards.
It follows an arcing motion beneath the obstacle.
The trick ends when you can see the object in view again.
In this case the drone Matty Flips the cars side view mirrors.
Trick 3
The Trippy Spin:
A Trippy Spin is a drone maneuver where the drone orbits around an object while tilted at a steep angle, continuously spinning as it circles the target
To spot a Trippy Spin:
The drone stays pointed toward the object at a sharp tilt with the object at the top of the screen.
It maintains a tight, circular path around the object while spinning.
The drone’s orientation remains locked on the object throughout the maneuver.
In this case the drone performs a trippy spin on this tree.
Now after you’ve studied these tricks and are confident you can identify them it is time to watch a Freestyle FPV video by tinexd FPV and your job is to identify some of the tricks in this interactive video
Did you identify all identify all the tricks correctly?

The Overview plan from this lesson:
Big Idea: Teach a learner how to identify some common FPV Freestyle Tricks
Learning Outcomes: Be able to successfully identify taught tricks in a real video
Evidence of learning: Get a close to high score in the videos quiz
Assessments: The grade of the video quiz assess their new knowledge
Learning Activities: Watch provided gifs and read descriptions to practice trick identification
Reflection:
For this blog post I actually loved learning to use and using H5P. This is such a great tool and I could see it being so useful in all aspects of online learning. I really liked how simple it was to put my quiz on top of the video and I really appreciated all it’s tools. I tried to use the concepts scaffolding when designing this learning experience by having each trick having GIF to watch and a description as guidance as to break down each trick so it was fundamentally understandable. Then the quiz was also was to then go right into independence and practicing the newly acquired knowledge. I think the once aspect I missed was gradually reducing independence but this could be achieved maybe with more interactive videos. Overall though I thought this module was really fun. I love educating people on things I’m passionate about and this module enabled exactly that.
Great work! It’s nice that you utilized the scaffolding principle to make it easier for beginners to soak in the new knowledge. As such, I could enjoy your use of H5P’s interactive video activity in this post without much knowledge issue. I personally think that the independence factor that followed wasn’t really a problem considering the limited amount of new knowledge content.
Overall great work! I look forward to more learning content from you.
Great job on using scaffolding to break down each FPV trick! The combination of GIFs and descriptions really helps make each move understandable before diving into the quiz. I also loved how interactive and easy-to-use H5P made this experience. More interactive videos could indeed be a great way to reinforce each trick. Excited to see more content like this!
