Flying Long Range FPV up a Hidden Waterfall

  • Tucked in a valley with two mountain sides crossing in front of it, this waterfall is hidden from view throughout the entire valley. Except for this one spot that just barely gets me line of sight to this beautiful and rarely seen waterfall. The sunny weather and snowy mountain tops had me setup for some perfect long range FPV flying conditions.

    Wow i liked this, such a nice line into the waterfall! So smooth and low, setting he bar dude great stuff! Going back for that super low pass on the waterfalls was totally worth it. It's so tight getting into there.

    Great footage, in this digital world of Fpv, why choose analogue for long range? Is the analogue immune to breakup or else?
    Please let me know your reasons

    • @FalconRadFPV
      @FalconRadFPV  Před 3 měsíci +1

      To start, I tend to fly very close to the landscape, when doing so the risk of losing video is much higher. I'm really used to the way analog breaks up and comes back right away when you get past an obstacle. The way DJI freezes and drops frames it just really throw's me off. I would much rather see a faint outline of the landscape with fuzz all over it (as analog often does during bad break up) in stead of an old image from 1/2 a second ago. Why do I care so much about 1/2 a second? At 100kph for 1/2 second the drone will travel 43 feet, plenty of time to crash into all kinds of stuff. For those that are not pushing proximity and keep some height above the terrain none of this would really matter.
      That said, I've been told that DJI has fixed the long video loss issue with the newer goggles and 03 units. In usual DJI style they didn't bother doing any firmware updates to fix it on any of the older gear. It still freezes though, that's just part of the design of the video system.
      As well I have a couple of friends that are pretty hard core about long range and they both fly DJI, it doesn't seem to bother them as much as me, but they both started flying DJI long before I did.

      Thanks for the comment! I used three separate audio tracks for the water and individually set the sound on each of them to pan left/right in coordination with the proximity of the water. It's more convincing than working with a single track for the water sound.

    • @FalconRadFPV
      @FalconRadFPV  Před 3 měsíci +1

      This was with the hero 11 mini (not recommended!) which has a more sensitive sensor than past cameras, so anytime I'm in full sunlight with no clouds I'll use the camera butter nd 64 (that's for 30 fps at 1/120 shutter)
