4k FPV Drone Flight - Propellers Just Inches From The Ice!

- This in one of the most challenging long range FPV flights I have ever done. Over 5km away lies a glacier with deep cracks and channels. I have found a route that takes my FPV drone deep into the glacial ice to capture video footage that would be far too dangerous to attempt in person. And that's only half of it, the flight out to the glacier and back is full of incredible footage that only an FPV drone could capture.
I used a RAD Li-ion build for this flight.

Now that's what I call a stunning video!!!
Respect that you have dared so far into the crevasses! 😱😱😱
Thank you so much 😀
Geez mate. You must have incredible confidence in your equipment. Fantastic to see a pro like yours videos.
Thanks 👍
You provide an invaluable or very valuable service to all of us who would like to be able to do just half of what you do. Thank you for showing us your way so that we can learn and utilize the same materials.
I appreciate that!
Amazing flying and footage, dude... That's just EPIC! 😯
I have no words!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks so much MC, I really appreciate the comment!
Awesome! There is a entire lifetime of drone flying, building, and flight planning in that one flight. Very impressive!!
Thanks so much!
A lot of really amazing footage here. That is such a surreal landscape up there like a alien world, its crazy! Watched to the end 😬I'm anxious now!
Thanks Brandon! Oh ya the upcoming snow tunnel video is going to be awesome!
just breath taking shots, it just got better and better, absolutely jaw dropping. the music was a nice fit too. can't wait for the deep dive into the technicalities and the snow bridge etc. imma watch again with music blasting.
Thanks so much for a great comment!
love it!! this is why we fly!
Amazing footage! I have no idea how you keep video link going literally into those crevasses. Well done.
Thank you very much!
@@FalconRadFPV same question here - how did you stay connected over that distance? maybe you can show in one of your next videos :) would appreciate that
800mw vtx, 1w for vrx = long range
@@AndGuitar i never heard you can set power on VRX? Got rapid-fire.
What an epic ride, thanks for taking us along!
Amazing pictures! Thank you!
Epic Bro 👍👍👊🔥
Thanks 👍
Spectacular !
Holy Smokes!! Speechless. Awesome x1000 flight Conrad.
Thanks a lot!
oldguyFPV says; Killer! Luv it! You still the man!
Magnifique
Merci et encore merci pour tes exploits !!!
Champion du monde de longrange 👍👍👍👍
Thank you, much appreciated!
I hope that this film gets submitted to the short film/documentary categoires for various awards. You really deserve a huge amount of recognition for this marvelous film. It is stunning. I felt I was actually flying through those crevices and could reach out and touch the ice walls. Maginificent. Good luck and well done.
Thanks so much!
Wild! Thanks!
This is absolutely amazing mate, you are a fighter
THIS IS AMAZING!!!. Thanks for sharing this with us.
No problem 😊
Glorious! That is all. Happy flying Conrad 🤙
Thank you kindly
wow just wow that flight was beyond nuts - next level long range proximity fpv here!
Insane!! Music, flying, location, everything! I'm sure it didn't feel very worth it while you were out flying but I can tell you that it definitely was, at least for us viewers. Loved how the flight progressed as a story, with it starting in the relatively safe but still beautiful forest and waterfalls, up to the stunning glaciers and peak, racing back down the steep rock faces, and finally back to the forest. Keep it up man!
Thanks a ton!
Speechless, bravo!
Unbelievably gorgeous!
Thank you! Cheers!
incredible ! thanks
omg! thats so sick.
Thanks so much!
Wonderful video!
Awesome!
The footage is beyond worth it, stupefying!
Thank you for pushing boundaries further and showing us all what is possible :D
Glad you enjoyed it!

EPIC say its the best long range video on youtube this year I say so love to see someone beat it well done .🏆🏆🏆
Much appreciated.
Wow Amazing 🤩
Thank you! Cheers!
7:00 love the downhill!! Interesting measurement device at the peak!
Thank you.
What you do is so amazing and admirable. The FPV world is where it is today because of people like you, and a lot of us found the courage to push further just from watching your content... Thank you Falcon!
Wow, thank you!
That was by far the most impressive long range remote piloting I've ever seen. Seriously, you've been my remote pilot to look up to these past 2 years. Thank you!
Wow, thanks!
Awesome flight! Great job! Subbed!
Thanks for the sub!
Great work man 👏
Thank you so much 😀
Truly epic flight well done 👍liked and subscribed 👍
Nice editing, it made it look like it was one flight....😳😏🇬🇧
Thanks 👍 It actually was one flight just the two close in shots on the waterfalls were from the previous flight with a lesser ND filter for the part in the shadows.
Blown away. One of the best journeys on a LR rig I have ever seen. I just can't imagine how it felt in the Google's. 👍👌🔥
Much apprecaited!
WOW just WOW, possible to release full flights in a series perhaps, even the explorer vids would be awesome . Great work
boldly go where no one has gone before, impressive indeed.
Thanks!
Wow what an intense flight, stunning footage. The whole things draws you in and your choice of music is exquisite, so aligned with the visuals. Well done my friend, you are very talented on so many levels. Subscribed, all the best from Australia.
Thank you so much 😀
You are a brave man. Great video a n beautiful scenery. Love tour flights. Oh to be young again
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow grazie mi hai regalato delle emozioni fortissime. Setup e skills da panico. Palle d'acciaio. Subscribed!
Thank you!
awesome spot❤❤
Thanks very much.
So, are you telling me that this beauty was done with an analog setup?
800mW... Wow.
Superb, absolutely astonishing.
👍👍👍
Yes, correct
I love being invested enough to watch a whole video thats over 10 mins long. Well done, excellent ride. /respect
Much appreciated!
Awesome bro.. 👍 like it..!!! 😍🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the visit
You long range guys are the actual crazy ones. Hucking my quad from the moon into a hole an inch bigger than my drone aint shit compared to this. Good stuff.
Thanks so much for the comment!
The fact that you flew so deep into the crevasses while being so far away blows my mind, some true balls of steel! I've flown at a glacier before, too, but didn't dare to fly into the crevasses as you did and I wasn't nearly as far away. But I was also not positioned well enough, the crevasses ran perpendicularly to where I was standing (if that makes sense) so I would have for sure lost signal if I had dipped down into them. Maybe I'll work up the courage next time lol. Thanks for sharing!
I had to find the few that ran the right direction. Most were perpendicular to my line of sight.
Really Digging the music adds flair to each video, nice smooth flying very stable, and every shot is breath taking Bravo Fly Brother Bravo!!!! 😢😮🎉
Thanks very much!
Wow man! Your epic flights keep getting better and better! Can't wait to get back up into the mountains with my freshly rebuilt Aos Falcon7! Been running 8400mah 6s2p Molicel p42a. Gives me 10 minutes cruising at 75mph.
wow that's a good speed for li-ion flying, nice!
Awesome dude!!! I would love to see the DVR from the goggles!
Thanks!
Very nice footage! Something that you might see in a well done documentary. Don't blame you for not wanting to lose your drone! would say please keep it up, the video was very interesting, tense, fun to watch. Kind of cool to see part of earth that you would have a hard time getting to without a plane, helicopter, drone, etc... Cheers!
Thanks for the comment!
Yeah baby !
This is EPIC-Rad video! Flying it like a cine-drone again. 🙀🤣
Great flight lines, and awesome music track in the edit.
You sure did your homework checking out the sight lines, flying that close and low!! 😲
Did you see that epic snow bridge at 4:37. 👉👈 (on the right)
I actually didn't notice it while I was flying, I wish I had. Only in reviewing the HD footage later on. I think I was too intently focused on the path ahead and not really watching what was off to the side. It looked like a wide open gap though. The hard part is figuring out in your head when and for how long the snow will cut the video and how confident I'd be to possibly have to do the exit for it blind.
you just gained a new sub!
Yay, thank you!
incredible footage. I know you must be in Canada somewhere. I have always liked your videos. till I found your channel, I did not know you could fly a fav that long of range. would like to build one, one day. good stuff!!!
Thank you very much!
